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

Alas! But not to worry, for Laga has also signed up. That means we have four players! As usual, we will use the standard rules and game elements from the base game and the various expansions. With four players, we will have a single Cylon and a Mutineer.
Last game, we included the optional Daybreak module, the Search for Home. That module increases the required distance to 10, and makes the Demetrius available so the crew can attempt Missions to ease their journey. Does the crew wish to add this module again, or play without it?

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

I can't decide. I feel like Demetrius didn't really help us last game but maybe that's because we didn't attempt very many missions.

Re the Search for Home, we have one vote for, one vote against and one vote for "Why so difficult?" And one missing vote, which I will pencil in as a vote for "I agree with the first 75% of every sentence Ayn Rand ever wrote, but then she loses me with 'therefore, be a dick to everyone'."
That gives me the deciding vote! I am voting no, for two reasons. First, I think the Search for Home is pretty unbalanced; the best mission does nothing more than return things to the way they are without the Search. Second, it makes things easier for me. I leave it up to you which reason had a greater mearing on the decision. So there will be no search for home, with any luck you'll just kind of stumble on it. Try not to get so overwhelmed that you do anything stupid like get rid of all your medical supplies, mkay?
The files will go out now. And! That means we're ready for character selection. It shall occur in the following order:
omnis_audis
Laga
NoiseDesign
Polter-Cow
Everyone except omnis can put in COs for their character selection. Everyone except omnis, remember too to put in your starting card draw (three cards from your regular draw). With only four players, we won't have any Cylon leaders. Let's begin!

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

Sorry for the delay. I was conferring with our awesome GM.
I pick Louis Hoshi (**DAYBREAK**).

Louis Hoshi has been chosen for the third time in four Daybreak games! (Twice by omnis.) Laga is next. ND and P-C can send COs if they wish. (All remaining players, don't forget COs for your starting card draw.)
