Ah. Prescient of me, wasn't that? At least this was a President's choice and not a current player choice. I'm thinking we don't want to risk the civvie, right? Since we gained the food, this is really only a cumulative loss of 1 for that category.
BSG
Tally: -9. EPIC FAIL!
Yeeeeah, good thing we didn't try to pass that one.
Wow. That flushed out a lot of Treachery.
Holy crap, way to go, Tigh and Tory! Kat and I only had the one card, so we were guaranteed to lose it, but luck was on your side, it seems. And Cally didn't lose a terrible card.
Wow, that worked out surprisingly well. To your health, Starbuck.
Thanks. Like I said, it was as good a crisis as we could hope for right now!
At least this was a President's choice and not a current player choice.
How would that make a difference?
Way to build up your hand via Quoruming, Prez! As for the choice, yeah, might as well take the Food hit because we really can't afford to lose a civvie.
OMG WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THIS FRAKKING DOGFIGHT.
BSG
How would that make a difference?
Tory's weakness kicks in on "Current Player's Choice" cards, and would have forced her to take the Morale option. It doesn't affect "President's Choice" cards though.
BSG
Okay, I
choose Option 2: -2 Food.
BSG
Food falls back to 7. Next, the raiders suddenly remember they were in the middle of something, and 4 of them close in on Starbuck. But they've left it too late, as you reach the end of the jump prep track. The fleet jumps away! Destinations being sent to Admiral Tigh. Admiral, when you're ready, please post your choice of Destination.
BSG
Heeeeeeere weeeeeee goooooooo.
Send us somewhere nice with a beach, Admiral.
BSG
Let us go as far as we can - which is sadly not as far as I'd like - which puts us at a
Remote Planet.
Say goodbye to Susan, Starbuck.
BSG
Nooooo, not Susan!! At least we had a good Scouting mission. Sure, we would have gotten that Crisis either way, but this way we felt good about it.
BSG
The Admiral sacrifices a raptor to the gods of safe passage, as the fleet travels 2 Distance. That concludes Tory's turn. She has 11 cards in hand, and so must discard one; she discards a Consolidate Power 1.
Starbuck has chosen to draw Engineering for her optional draw. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
