I'm torn between Adama and The Chief.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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

They're both decent choices. Some considerations:
1. Picking Adama, obviously, means you'll be the Admiral.
2. So far, no one draws any Blue cards. (There are other ways to get hold of them, though drawing them in one's skill set is the easiest way.)
3. Picking Adama means you get a full suite of daddy-son issues with omnis.
4. So far, this Galactica is a total bloke-fest.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was going to Roslin but we're still drawing no blue cards. Yeah... I'm changing my mind one more time.
Call me Boomer.

Welcome aboard, Admiral. We may have to put your retirement on hold, I'm afraid.
To summarise, this is our roster:
Apollo
(omnis)
Helo
(Kalshane)
Zarek
(Sean)
Adama
(NoiseDesign)
Boomer
(Laga)
I'm sending out Loyalty Cards. President Zarek also gets a Quorum Card.
Everyone except the first player (Apollo) also receives three skill cards at game start, taken from their usual skill set. (That is, look at the five cards you normally draw, and take away two.) Everyone except Apollo, post or email me the colours you would like to draw, and I'll send out your starting skill cards.
Once we're done with all that, Apollo's turn will start.

Sorry, didn't see Laga's post. Laga takes Boomer instead of Roslin (I'll update the above post). That means Mr Zarek is President, and receives a Quorum card.

This is the first game where everyone is playing our own gender.

Update: we're almost ready. Once we finalise the starting card draws, the Flight of the Battlestar Buffistica 3 will begin.
Another detail: Apollo starts the game in a viper, and has the choice of either Sector 5 or Sector 6. He has chosen Sector 5.

President Zarek begins in Administration, on Colonial One. I'll provide a full summary of the starting set-up before Apollo's turn.
