I think the more the merrier but I'll start thinking about characters and email you my preferences if we want to start right away.

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

Time to get this show on the road. We have five players, I've randomly assigned turn order. I'll post a message in Press too; if anyone wants to sign up before everyone's chosen characters, I'll slot them in the sixth spot.
The player order is:
omnis_audis
Kalshane
Sean K
NoiseDesign
Laga
Our first stage is character selection. Everyone, in the order listed above, please post your choice of character. This is being conducted via the procedure on page 5 of the rules, which means, for instance, if omnis chooses a military leader, no one else may choose a military leader until there's at least one politician and pilot on the crew.
In addition: everyone except the first player (i.e. everyone except omnis) also draws three cards from their usual skill set. When you choose your character, let me know which colours you would like to draw as well.
A reminder: conditional orders make the game flow smoothly. You can send me COs for pretty much anything. This means, too, that if it's not yet your turn to choose a character, you can send me a preference list, as long or as short as you want.
Your Battlestar awaits. Omnis, you're up. You've been Boomer, you've been Helo. What's your choice for round 3?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
At risk of being airlocked, I'm going with Apollo.

BWAH! Oh man, that would have almost sold me on playing!
Except y'know, deadlines.
And no, being here is not proof I have spare time, I simply hit my milestone for the evening and so I'm tinkering around the internetz until calling it a night.
