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

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcom the crew of the sixth flight of the Battlestar Buffistica. All players have been able to take their first pick. We have three characters from the base game, two from Pegasus and one from Exodus. I've randomised the turn order and it will be:

Anastasia "Dee" Dualla (NoiseDesign)
Ellen Tigh (StuntHusband)
Admiral Karl "Helo" Agathon (Polter-Cow)
President Laura Roslin (-t)
Felix Gaeta (Laga)
Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Kalshane)

Loyalty Cards are going out. Everyone except Dee, please post your choice of starting skill cards (choose three cards from your normal draw). I'll then post the starting set-up and we will start with Dee's turn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Woo! Looks like a fun crowd.

I'll take 2 Y and 1 G, please.

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

BSG

I'll take one blue, one purple & one green.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

I feel compelled to choose R G B.

No can do, I'm afraid; your normal card draw allows you to take either Green or Blue, but not both; your starting card draw follows the same restriction.

BSG

He already asked, and I already answered - 2Y and 1G

Don't look at me that way, I'm not bad OR drawn that way; you just don't understand my relationship with my husband. Jealous?

I think so.

Is P-C the only one playing his own gender?

Could have sworn we had a discussion about that last game and it was decided it was allowed.

Oh well, I'll go R, P, B, then.

I am, also. Playing my own gender, not P-C's.
