Working on my character choice. Sorry for the delay, this week is the last week of my totally insane schedule, I've had 8 hours of sleep in the past 60 or so hours.

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

I'm considering picking Drew's character for him. Let's see, he can be... that guy who took over on Pegasus after Cain was shot, who got killed by racketeers so Apollo could go off on a very special adventure into the fleet's underworld. IT WAS A SHOCKING MOMENT, alright? So, that'd give him... Special ability, getting killed by racketeers. Weakness: well, getting killed will probably put a crimp in one's day. Card draw: doesn't matter, he's going to get killed by racketeers.

Honestly, it's just kind of fun saying racketeers. Racketeers racketeers racketeers. Imagine how embarrassing it would have been if he'd been killed by Mouseketeers.

There you go, Drew! You're all set! Or, I guess, you could pick someone else if you have a thing against racketeers.

What kinda racket you running here?

I say, do it gamer style. Roll a 20 sided die. Then count down the list, and BAM we got a game!

You're looking at the medical staff, I choose Doc Cottle.

Sorry for the delay folks, this is the last week of things being totally crazy for me.

Welcome Doc Cottle! What would you like for your starting card draw?

While we await the good Doctor's decision, I'll send out everyone else's starting draw and loyalty.

I have everyone's starting draw, and here it is:

Baltar: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Hoshi: 2 Green, 1 Purple
Apollo: 1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Red
Helo: 2 Green, 1 Red
Cottle: 1 Yellow, 2 Purple

I've sent out the cards and everyone's starting loyalty. Leoben has received two motive cards. I'll shortly send out Leoben's starting card draw (he has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Blue), and then the game will be underway!
