But the most human of all, the anti ND if you will, is omnis, with just one adventure in chrome from seven games. And he had to pick Gaius Baltar for it to happen.Yeah, and I **sucked** at being Chrome. Or rather, hiding that I was.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We're up to five people so far (P-C, NoiseDesign, Laga, chrismg and omnis). We can accommodate up to two more players. It sounds like we'll be giving the Ionian Nebula a try this time around. I think chrismg's suggestion is a good one. Not only would Conflicted Loyalties add more complications, it's also pro-Cylon. The Ionian Nebula will be tough enough on its own.
We still have a few days before we start. I recommend taking that opportunity to read the Ionian Nebula rules section in the Exodus rulebook. It's available online here: [link] Ionian Nebula is covered in pages 16-21.

I was looking over it yesterday. It seems a bit complicated to keep track of the trauma, and I'm still not entirely sure how Allies work (can they be ANY character in the game? I thought it was just Cottle and a couple others), but I'm sure we'll get the hang of it. Basic idea seem to be DON'T GET TRAUMA.

There are 35 Allies in the game, including all the available player characters. Those characters actually taken by the players are not eligible to be Allies too, of course.

Wow, that's a lot of Allies! Maybe Boxey will help us.

I get the feeling, we should thank our awesome GM at the start of this game. I sense the Nebula thing will be a LOT to track. BT, you are AWESOME!!!
(not brown nosing, just showing appreciation for he who keeps us playing)
BT, any suggestions on personal tracking of this stuff (mind you, haven't read the link yet)?

The Allies currently on the board will appear in the turn summaries. You can keep a record of who placed which one, if you wish. Aside from that, the only thing you really need worry about is your own trauma - how many positive (Benevolent), how many negative (Antagonistic). I suggest you put it next to your skill card records.

The weekend is almost upon - well, me at least. That means it's not long before we begin. I have the game files all ready, and I'm writing up a quick introduction to the Ionian Nebula; meanwhile, you can all give some thought to your character selection.
