No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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

Well now, it's now been thirteen games since the last time you participated. I think maybe you should come in for another game, just to make sure. Have something to compare the peanut gallery to.
Current situation: we have five people already signed up. I'm chasing up with a couple more, because last game we executed P-C's character, in fact almost did it twice; and it's just a real shame that some people had to miss out on that. Hopefully within the next 24 hours or so we'll have everything in shape.

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

Puh, I've already been killed twice in one game; let's go for three. Wait, maybe it was three that one time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know if executing you over and over again is as fun as executing every character at least once. Both are good times, though.

I'm still traumatized by that.

Just means it was an excellent play.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm still traumatized by that.Just think of it as "**REDACTED** with Bullets", and then it's not traumatizing, but SEXY!
(oh look, I may have just crossed over the line.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yeah that it not a word I expected to see in Game chat. Not sure how others will feel but I would err on the safer side and take it down.

Aww yiss. I have received a reply from both Liese and -t, and they are in. This means that we will have a seven-player game. That has two implications:
1. We will have a Cylon leader. If no one has chosen a Cylon leader by player seven, they will be obliged to pick one. To date, the following players have not played a Cylon leader: NoiseDesign, Polter-Cow, omnis and askye.
2. That will leave six other players. Four against two is regarded as unbalanced against the Cylons, and goodness knows we can't have that. We therefore need a balancing mechanism. In the base game that was the Sympathiser, but Daybreak gives us a new one of those too - the Mutineer. The Mutineer can hold an extra mutiny card without getting brigged, but they also draw mutiny cards more often. Is it a good balancing mechanism? I've no idea! Think of the fun we'll have, finding out.
I'll be sending out the game files now, and we can get into character selection. Daybreak is large with the new character options, including four totally new characters (of which two, Cottle and Hoshi, appeared in both games 18 and 19), four repurposed characters from the base game (three of which, Apollo, Baltar and Helo, were in last game) and four new Cylon leaders. The player order is:
NoiseDesign
Liese S.
askye
Polter-Cow
omnis
-t

ND, you're up first. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your preferences if you wish. Don't forget your starting draw as well. (Three cards from your regular draw).
