No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

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

BSG

Ouch. And you had repair cards, too! Looks like we lost that gamble. We're off to a fantastic start!

Anders, XO Chief to destroy the basestar so we can focus our energy on getting more frakking cards.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Longshot here, star player, and strategist. I'm going to get my self set up to be xo'd to get two blues. But give chief another two shots at that double-y ship.

Move to Research Lab, play XO-2 on Chief.

Whee, let's try it again! Aim and shoot basestar.

Go boom, basestar! Boom!

It's that decisive decisionyness that made Anders the C-Bucks' star player. I have COs to pass on interrupts from the other players. Let's see whether the Chief's still got it without Apollo hanging over his shoulder:

Die Roll: 3. Miss. Sadly, the Chief is still shaken up by his recent disastrous foray into the world of gender relations. His comment that "A basestar is like a woman" doesn't seem to have gone over well with any constituency.

No, things haven't been going well. Maybe someone should look into that. Anders' Crisis is:

Code Blue

Anders, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Dang it. Sorry, I've been jumping the gun. Chief, you still have one action left. What would you like to do for your second action?
