*fondly remembers arguing that Lincoln, given the 1861 July 4th Address to Congress and the Lincoln-Douglas debates, deserves Law x3*

I'm voting for Quark.

Oh, no wait.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, and elect Abraham Lincoln president of WotC6.
Meh, that looks hard. I'll settle for a good Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure lore reference. :P

I’m changing my vote to...

The very excellent barbarian Mr. Genghis Khan. This is a dude who seven hundred years ago totally ravished China. And whom we are told, 2 hours ago, totally ravished Oshmans' Sporting Goods. As you can see Genghis very much enjoys Twinkies because of the excellent sugar rush.

The lore writes itself!

Yeah, sorry about that. I had thought I'd replied to you in the nominations thread, but it seems I didn't. No dual personnel for this, but it does give me an idea...

Not sure who I'm voting for yet, but I really, really don't get the appeal of Captain Riker and Quark here. What's the point in making a card that cannot work with the one card we do know uses the new Native mechanic?

Seeds on table. You may not seed Assign Mission Specialists. Just after you seed a card, you may download (limit once) up to 2 [OS] personnel that name in lore non-homeworld planets you seeded; score 5 points whenever your personnel helps solve such a planet they name in lore. (Unique.) OR Plays to download an [OS] personnel that names in lore a non-homeworld planet you seeded.
I know we can make a non [OS] personnel, but isn't that kind of missing the point of making a linked Mission and Personnel when the link is tenuous at best and doesn't make use of the main card to do with the mechanic and set theme?

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

If you're going to quote Wayne's World instead of Bill and Ted, then you should change your vote to Babe-raham Lincoln, rather than Genghis Khan. ;-)

Um.... "Party on Dudes" followed by *Air Guitar* is very much Bill and Ted. I just personalized it to Paddy.

Those SNL interlopers came along YEARS later.

But instead of yet another nerd argument, Let's just all be excellent to each other and listen to some Wyld Stallyns.

Looks like Ghengis is going nowhere and I don't want sauce guy. Also, James isn't wrong.

Babe-raham Lincoln it is.
