Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Hmmm. Well now, in my last few games, I've played a pollie (Baltar), a military leader (Helo) and a support character (Dee - a Pegasus game). I guess I'm about due for a pilot. Apollo is tempting, but after last game I've become fascinated with the notion of playing one Lt Valerii.

I choose Boomer. May the gods have mercy on us all.

A reminder: every player except the first (i.e. everyone except me) will start the game with three cards from their normal skill set. I recommend that, when you choose your character, you also either post your choice of three cards, or send a CO to omnis. (If you send him a CO, you can make it conditional on whether you start the game as a human or a Cylon.)

So I can't be a pilot, right?

With no aspirations to ultimate power and feeling a bit under the weather myself, I'll opt for starting off slowly and go with Helo.

Cool, so we have the pollie third in line for the Presidency and the military guy third in line for Admiral. And the third-most effective pilot. The SS Short Bus is fueled and ready to fly!
