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

BSG

I'm just clarifying something with ND concerning his choice ("Is is true that the T in your name stands for Total Toaster?"), and then we'll move on to Liese's pick. For everyone else, if you haven't put in COs yet, my inbox stands ready.

Change of plans! ND has opted instead to play Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza. Liese is next, and I have COs from her. Unfazed by his fate in the last game, she picks Lee "Newpollo" Adama. This is Apollo in his political incarnation. However, he still draws Red, and can pilot a viper if need be. Newpollo's starting draw is 2 Green, 1 Purple.

Next up is askye. Once again I have COs, and I would like you all to welcome our Cylon Leader: Sharon "Athena" Agathon! She starts the game infiltrating, so gets a three-card starting draw. Her draw will be 2 Red, 1 Green.

And nowe I've run out of COs. Well, that's not quite true. I have an email from omnis which I'm choosing to interpret as saying I can choose his character, based on whichever one is most likely to get him executed. But first off we have P-C. One might ask whether he even needs to choose a character, as they'll probably just get executed anyway, but the forms must be observed. P-C, when you're ready, please post your choice of character and starting draw. You may choose any military leader or support character.

Word from P-C: he chooses the newly refurbished military leader, Tom Zarek! Mutiny ahoy! His starting draw is 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple.

omnis is next, and can take any character still unselected except for a Cylon leader.

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

BSG (Sorting Hat)

To keep things interesting, and balanced, and to get a good pick of cards for our crisis checks, I pick Callandra "Cally" Tyrol!

eta: I draw 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 purple

Looks to be a party in the Hangar Deck! And we still have two to choose.

First things first, -t has chosen Baltarnate for her character. Starting draw of 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue. Laga is last to pick, and may take any still available character except a Cylon leader.

In other news, Athena has decided to change her starting draw to 1 Green, 1 Red, 1 Blue.

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

BSG

You know what this show needs? Mark Frakking Sheppard! I'll be Romo Lampkin and draw 1Y 2P.

FanTAStic. Especially because it means that I can now create the loyalty deck.

The full crew and starting draw is:

Hot Dog: n/a
Apollo: 2 Green, 1 Purple
Athena: 1 Green, 1 Red, 1 Blue
Zarek: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple
Cally: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple
Baltar: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Romo: 1 Yellow, 2 Purple

Cards and loyalty are going out. Let's see who's been naughty and who's been nice.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Hey, I'm Admiral! That saves me the trouble of stealing the Admiralty this time.

Yes, it's true. The fleet's Admiral is Zarek, and its President is Apollo. I'm sure it will be fine. But Zarek also starts the game with one mutiny card. Why? Because he's Tom Zarek!

Everyone's cards have gone out. Let the games begin! The first player is Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza. Hot Dog, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
