BSG(Hipster Beardo Patriarchy)

Aw, nuts. I was looking forward to being a toaster in plain sight again. (Who was I that time? Six?)

Anyway, I suppose I'll go the other direction: Gaius Baltar from the Evil Good Bearded Mirror Universe, I choose you!

ETA: Sorry, dude, looks like I'm the Miracle Man this time.

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

BSG (Louis Hoshi )

I'm a firm believer, that we need strong Communication skills to survive. So, I pick Louis Hoshi ! Woot for playing a different character!

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

BSG

Welcome, strange characters. Don't forget to send me your starting card draws. (You can make them COs conditional on your loyalty.)

Polter-Cow is next, and may choose a Politician, Pilot or Support (other than Baltarnate).

Are we taking bets on if ND or PC are toasters?

Speaking of, with our number of players, how many hidden Cylons, in addition to the Cylon leader will we have?

There will be two Cylon loyalty cards. Since we're using the Exodus loyalty rules, there is the possibility that one Cylon loyalty card will get left in the deck, but most likely you'll have two hidden Cylons.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

Well, I WAS considering Balternate and Hoshi! But I shall be Apollitician !

Welcome, Apollitician. Don't forget to send me your starting draw.

askye is next, and can choose any pilot (except Apollo, who is otherwise engaged) or support character (except Baltarnate). I have COs from her, but want to check one detail before implementing them.

After her choice, ND has last pick.

There's about a 62% chance that at least one of them will be a toaster. Assuming randomness. (In practice, over the nine games where they've both been on the crew, there's been exactly one game where neither of them was a Cylon. So, 89% so far. In two games they were both Cylons.)

Then I put money down on at least one of them being a Cylon!

BSG

I have askye's choice: New Helo, family man and flying fool. We now have one character of each type: politician, military leader, pilot, support and Cylon leader. We have one brand new character and three remodelled jobs.

ND is last to pick, and may take any character not yet chosen. ND, when you're ready, please post your choice. (Don't forget your starting card draw too.)
