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.

Right! Our crew now stands at six players:
Polter-Cow
NoiseDesign
chrismg
Laga
omnis
askye
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.

It's time! The weekend is upon all of us, and Buffistica 17 - Nilly in Space - is ready to begin. We have six players, in the following (randomly generated) turn order:
NoiseDesign
omnis
chrismg
askye
Laga
Polter-Cow
We have six players, which means that we have the option of a Cylon leader. If no one picks a Cylon leader, then we will play the offficial 6-player No Sympathiser variant (where resources start a bit lower, and revealed Cylons draw an extra card per turn).
NoiseDesign is first to choose. ND, which character would you like to play? Everyone else, you can send me COs for your character preferences as well. Everyone except ND, don't forget to put in your choice for starting card draw as well. Everyone except the first player begins with three cards from their starting draw. (Take your regular five-card draw, and knock off two cards.)
Meanwhile, I'll get all the decks shuffled and ready to greet you. Happy hunting, Buffistica 17.
I choose Starbuck.
Oh, look, we're going to have consecutive Cylon turns.
BSG - "Stalag 17"
I pick Baltar .
(Gods help me)
BSG
chrismg is next, and may choose any military leader, support crew or Cylon leader.
BSG
I'm really tempted to choose Leoben, just for the chance to mess with ND, but....
I pick Chief Tyrol. That way, I can either be essential to the ship, or screw you all over by making your only Repair guy defect.
Oh and 1Y 1G 1B, plz.
BSG
askye is next, and I have COs that it is not meet that Chief Tyrol should be alone. She picks Cally Henderson.
Next is Laga, who may pick any military leader, any Cylon leader or Dee.
BSG
I know I said I wanted to be a cylon but I think this game is going to be complicated enough. I'll be Helo.
