Is there any weapon more ludicrous than a stick to poke people with? If you could program brutes, I would have his battle cry being "Get offa my lawn!"
I hate it when my brutes choose the pointy stick. I mean - you have an AXE and a SWORD! Why are you using the fucking STICK???
You can lead a brute to weaponry, but you can't make him hack.

Well, that throws me out of my comfort zone playing Apollo or Starbuck.
So I choose Bill Adama.
ETA: I'll be in my quarters repairing my model ship.
BSG
Ok, Raq takes Adama (and becomes Admiral in the process). Next choice is Sean's, who can take a political leader (Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek or Gaius Baltar) or else Chief Tyrol.
Hey guys, I'm off to work. I'll be home probably around 7pm board time.
BSG
Laga (and Raq's husband), if you want you can email me conditional orders on which character you'd like. (Laga, do you need a list of the characters?)
BSG
Oh, wow! That's a tough choice. I'm going to have to go with Laura Roslin.
BSG
Congratulations, Sean. You now have the Presidency and breast cancer.
It seems likely Laga won't be checking in for a while now, but when she does, she can choose from any of the remaining characters (Tigh, Helo, Baltar, Zarek, Apollo, Starbuck, Chief). Raq's husband (would he prefer another moniker?) can email me conditional orders if he likes, to save time after Laga's pick.
Yeah, you can call him Robert or Random...he'll be logging in here as Random McNasty.
Be gentle; he's been a Buffista widower for years now and is a bit appalled that he's finally signed up on the board.
BSG
I thought about taking Roslin, but the only game I've played where she's been a character, she didn't do anything due to the cancer. I'm interested to see how Sean plays her.
Also, I can haz nukes!
