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!
BSG
Sorry for the delay. I was conferring with our awesome GM.
I pick
Louis Hoshi
(**DAYBREAK**).
BSG
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.)
BSG (Laga)
I'll be
Daybreak Helo
and choose
1R 1P
BSG
Welcome, Helo the not stranded! You get three cards for your starting draw.
BSG (Heloooo Nurse!)
Ooh! ooh! Gimme a green one, too!
in non-BSG news- if anyone wants to try out the
FFXIV free trial
I would happily be your tour guide.
In Dragon Age: Inquisition news, the cutscene I hit the other night (Look to the Dawn) actually gave me chills (in a good way.) [link] (Link is Spoilery for the game, naturally.) It's a shame I couldn't find a video with a non-goofy-looking main character.
Definitely better than Leiliana's similar scene in Origins (and fits the story much better.)

Have I?? Crap. Oh well. So much for trying something new. Sorry about that.
BSG
NoiseDesign is next. Politics or Support.
