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

By the way, a reminder for the crew: when you post definite orders, put them in bold. Helps me distinguish easily between orders and discussion.

Which is more easily replenishable, Fuel or Food?

There are 4 Quorum cards that increase Food, and 1 that can increase Fuel. Most Destinations lose Fuel, but there are about 5 that give you the chance to increase it. There are 3 Destinations that let you gain Food. These Destinations (both Fuel and Food) are generally 1 Distance. There are 5 Crisis Cards that give the chance to increase Food, and 1 that lets you increase Fuel, which you've already encountered. And passed! Go you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

Er, I can't do the advanced calculus required to figure out which is the better option here, but it seems from that assessment that Food is more easily replenishable. Based on number of cards, at least. Doesn't mean it's ever going to be EASY. It's your choice, Admiral.

I go with option 2.

The slow realisation that Old Floppy-Haired Genius is not commercially available reverses the gains from Baltar's speech, and sparks ice cream and Tim Tam binges across the fleet. Morale and Food drop by 1.

Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes President Baltar's turn. Boomer is still on the Resurrection Ship, so she draws only one card, and has opted to draw Treachery. Her card is going out.

I have some COs from Boomer. She moves to Caprica, and begins mass production of knockoff Old Floppy-Haired Genius. And for a limited time, it's available to the fleet at the low low price of 5 credits a bottle! And look at this star map, there's an outlet in the next system, well, why don't you just pop over and pick up a bottle or HEEEEEEYY, that's not a retail outlet! That's a basestar!

Boomer plays her Super Crisis (one of them, anyway):

Lured into a Trap
Cylon Attack

Oh, she also adds that she will "end with an evil laugh, as is the way of my people."
