I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

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.

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

BSG

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.

Finally, allow me to mention that last game, you all executed P-C's character in turn 23. So that's the benchmark you're trying to beat this time round. Good luck!
