The point value now varies from 0 to 5.
Oh maaaaan, that REALLY changes Treachery.
All of that does sound pretty interesting!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
One might think people's interest was piqued. One might even think that people would like to see Daybreaky elements in the next game of BSG.
It will take me a little while to add the Daybreak materials to my game files, but once that's done, who's in for the next game? I propose to include all the following:
- All the standard elements from the base game and the Pegasus, Exodus and Daybreak expansions. This means that you will now have 33 characters to choose from, including Cylon leaders.
- Conflicted Loyalties from the Exodus expansion.
- There'll be a couple of new mechanisms (mutiny and miracles, most notably) to work out, so I will exclude New Caprica, the Cylon Fleet and the Ionian Nebula.
- If the number of players would call for a Sympathiser, we'll use the Mutineer instead.
- We will use the Daybreak Treachery rather than the Pegasus Treachery.
- I strongly recommend that someone play a Cylon leader, because Motives. (We will use Motives.)
This is all up for discussion, of course. So! Anyone with an interest in the next outing, let me know:
1. That you're interested.
2. Anything I should know about your availability.
3. Whether the proposed game elements work for you, or if you'd like to make some changes.
4. Your vote in the vexing question of what we should call New Baltar. Your options are:
a. New Baltar.
b. Baltarnate.
c. Cultar.
In-thread or email. Who's in the crew?

Alternate sounds good. I'm up for a game and don't have anything to pressing that will get in the way.

ND seems to think he has a vote. I assume that means you're signing in as well?
I've had an email from omnis too, so we have four players so far: NoiseDesign, omnis, askye and P-C. Anyone else who's interested, sign in quick.
