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

Piece of trivia: aside from the presence of Boomer instead of Starbuck, the crew for Buffistica 4 is almost exactly the same as in Buffistica 2.

Now, as I recall, Zarek and Chief Tyrol were the Cylons that game...

Thanks for the heads up Boomer. You know, despite your interest in the Chief, I've always found you strangely attractive...

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

But I don't wanna be a cylon!

How strange are we talking? Do you mean, like, furries or something? 'Cause sure, you get curious once in a while, but I think it'd just be too weird, y'know? Plus, you're still stuck on Caprica, and long-distance relationships just never work out.

But I don't wanna be a cylon!

This is no time for blubbing, Mr President! Help me restrain the fake admiral! ...Fauxdmiral? Pladmiral! He's a slippery one, whichever it is. ...Ow! Ow! Dammit, marines, you're grabbing the wrong person! Look at him, he's got to be a Cylon! He never blinks! ...Um, except for just then. Aaand again. And he's... um, not smiling anymore. Ok, maybe I was wrong. No hard feelings, right sir? Could happen to anyone. Hum.

I think I'll be in the Armoury if anyone needs me.

Ms DeathQuaker, I'm afraid your e-mail addy is not in your profile. Please be so kind as to send me an e-mail so I can get this party started.

Look at y'all. Already accusing each other of being Cylons. You aren't even aware of the pending destruction. But just you wait. I have lots of mayhem up my sleeves. Your worlds will be rocked!

(by that, I mean to say, in a sleep deprivation state, I have the file started, the card draws pulled, loyalty cards picked. I am waiting on DQ's e-mail to e-mail you your card details. BT- my physical game is still packed, does Quorum cards get picked at start? I seem to recall 2, but want to be sure before I click the "draw random quorum card" macro.

OK, off to bed for this newbie GM. Somehow, I can't help but feel like dork, as I mentally skip around the table taunting "I know who is hue-man!" Heh. I'll save the childish taunting for when the bullets start to fly.

The President starts the game with one Quorum card. I think the spreadsheet deals it automatically with the set-up.

I did not realize I had email hidden in my profile. I've emailed you omnis, and if anyone else needs it, it's deathquaker at gmail.

Tigh HAS a sense of humor (especially at the beginning), as long as it involved ragging on other people. When he wasn't starting fights with lower ranked officers and throwing them in the brig.

Speaking of which...

All mirth rapidly evacuates his face as Boomer rapidly retreats to the Armory. "Try that again and you'll be behind bars! And our Raptors'll be in better shape for it!" Shuffles off, muttering about meeting the "president." "Frakkin' terrorists and mouthy pilots... why I let Ellen talk me into accepting this promotion, I'll never know..."

There are a few things that wouldn't be that hard to program automatically that have been left out of the spreadsheet. (Moving ships around is the most annoying thing.)

Hey I'm the president! Pay no attention to prior convictions.

omnis you know I prefer my gmail, right?
