    Reserving this space.

    My BBcode seems to be broken. I'm going in.

    e: Weird. I can't get the CENTER tags to work like I was expecting. :-/

    Sorry, you're a bit further down the list. I'll reverse the turn order for Season 2, so you'll get your choice a bit earlier then.

    Who are you quoting? I clearly didn't say anything like that in my post, as you'll see if you scroll up. :whistle:

    Weeee... I was going to complain about always having my turn order be a multiple of 3, such that I get very little choice in characters...but I actually don't care, so happy I am to be playing :D

    Any restrictions on the order in which we choose the characters? i.e., now that Roslin has been chosen, does CC need to pick a non-political leader, or can he still choose anyone?

    Ah yes. At least for this round, we'll be following the usual rules for that -- CC needs to pick a non-political leader.

    To speed things up in case I'm not around for a while when my turn comes up:

    When my tun rolls around I'll take the first available from: Billy, Adama Sr., Tigh.

    If I've theoy-crafted the selection process here correctly I'm guaranteed one of those.

    Hylianbunny and Celebrim might want to put in their top picks if they read this before crimson. That way we can keep this moving.

    My top choice is the one, the only, Lee 'Apollo' Adama.

    If Apollo is unavailable or I can't choose a pilot, I'll take the role of Karl 'Helo' Agathon.

    Not sure how the picking restrictions work, but the following priority should work (first available/allowable):

    1. William Adama
    2. Boomer
    3. Chief
    4. Gaius Baltar



    EDIT: Not that I'm picking him, but what are Billy's initial card choices?

    See the OP for a list of who you can be- Military Leaders are Bill, Saul or Dee.

    I didn't realize there was exactly 10 available characters- makes restricting choices based on what people before you choose pretty redundant.

    The restriction on choices spreads out the skill cards, meaning we don't draw all of our politics cards in a row, for example.

    Alright, priority list:

    1. Lee 'Apollo' Adama (pilot)
    2. Anastasia 'Dee' Dualla (military leader)
    3. Chief (support)
    4. Billy Keiyaka (political leader)


    I can pretty much promise you right now I'm going to be trying to choose Lee for every round of the game. Go continuity!

    Good luck with that...

    Depending on how you play this round, I'm not sure anyone will be nice enough to let him fall that far next round (Order is reversed, so you will be picking 7th).

    Seems like I'm going to be Billy then, excellent, I look forward to playing consolidate power a lot to stockpile our cards.

    Although a question about his disadvantage: Does it just apply to Galactica locations or can he get lost on Colonial One as well?

    Nice, nosaji. And cc has been inactive in the Phalla, as well. Someone should perhaps poke TehSloth or Orange Soda (they are housemates) and see what's going on there.

    The relationship between this joke in this thread and today's comic is pretty frakkin' amazing.

    Also, I, like El Skid, am pretty eager to get rolling. Perhaps it would be possible to get a proxy character selection from CC so we can at least continue with set-up in his absence?
