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

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm in and I vote Balternate

Progress report: I've finished updating my reference file and the game record template. There's still the formatting file to go.
We have six places filled. We can go up to seven players, so there's room for one more. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of people. Once I get yeas or nays, we can get the first airing of Daybreak underway.

So here's the thing, I have now prepared ALL THE FILES, which means that we're kind of ready to go. I have one more invitation out, to Liese, but I think she might still be on tour, I haven't seen her checking in since maybe August.
So, we have a crew of six people:
askye
chrismg
Laga
NoiseDesign
omnis_audis
Polter-Cow
Within the next 24 hours, you can expect to get the game files and a turn order, and then we will be underway.

Ok! Let's get this underway. I have generated a random order for our six players. (If anyone else wants to join in before character selection is completed, I will slot them into seventh place.)
With six players, we have the option of a Cylon leader. I recommend someone take this up, both because we have four new Cylon leaders to choose from and because there's a new mechanism for Cylon leader victory, the motive cards. I think it's an improvement over the previous agenda cards (without having tried them out, though).
If no one takes up the Cylon leader option (or if we get seven players), we will have six (erstwhile human) players. In that case we will use the Mutineer loyalty card.
Time to choose. Game files are going out now, including the list of available characters. If you want to choose one of Apollo, Baltar, Helo or Zarek, don't forget to specify whether you want Classic Coke or New Coke. Our player order is:
Laga
chrismg
omnis
Polter-Cow
askye
NoiseDesign
Laga, you have first pick.

I forgot to add:
1. The rest of the players, if it's not yet your turn, you can send me COs for your choice.
2. Everyone except Laga, please also post or email me your starting card draw when you choose you character. Usual rules, your starting draw is your choice of three cards from your regular draw. (Two cards for a Cylon leader.)
