Yeah, the face shooting was one of my favorite parts of the game. I think it's my best use of a OPG ability yet. It's just so brutal. The fact that I stayed alive and out of the brig after that was CRAZY!

I still wonder how differently the game would have gone if I had buried that Dogfight we got for the very first Crisis card. We would have had such a smooth initial jump cycle; we wouldn't have lost all those civvies and Vipers. Maybe we would have had the cards to deal with you two.
I never got to use my OPG. AND I HAD THREE OF THEM.
Actually, I've never used my OPG in any game, come to think of it. Dammit.

Ha! I was totally drawing yellow to mess with your head, PC, once I knew you wanted the PP. Because the whole game my draws were INSANE! Tory is a card drawing machine, but the draws themselves were crazy!
And no, Cally as Chief of Staff was a lucky guess. But yeah, I was totally trying to win without revealing. But I knew my doom was coming, because I knew Tigh was holding that execute card. I should have tried to take the Presidency instead of the failed brigging. I was distracted during that period.

I KNEW IT. I HATE YOU SO MUCH.
I knew Tigh was holding that execute card.
Ooh, such suspense and terror for you!

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

Couldn't I have XOed Kat with my bonus action and let her shoot twice? Holy crap, could that have worked??
...Holy crap, that could have worked! There hadn't been any other XOs played that turn, you could've played one. I steered you wrong! Um... sorry about that.

That would have been awesome. And hilarious.

...3 and 6. You guys had one SP left. If it went on the right roll, you live! if not, ah well. I invite everyone to believe that it totally would've gone down whichever way you find most congenial.

...Yeah, we would have used it on the first one. Also, there was one SP played into the check, so unless either Kat or Tigh held one back in the check, we had none.
So...yeah. We still would have lost. But we would have lost AWESOMELY.

Hee, I did keep an SP, just in case we survived long enough to use it. I don't know if I would have used it on the first shot or saved it for the second, though. I am unpredictable that way.
