Hey jailer, can I get a harmonica?

no can do Longshot. Last guy who asked for one nearly inhaled it and died. No more harmonicas allowed. But we got this hear guitar. I can let you play it, if you promise to not use the strings to hang yourself with.

But, I dunno how to play the guitar.

Suit yourself then.

NO WAIT! I'll take it. What else do I have to do, I can learn, right?

Is my singing that bad? Well, I only figured out one chord, so, I guess I'll put it down. No harm no foul.

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

I'm thinking of renaming Zarek's "Friends in Low Places" as "Groupies in the Mosh Pit".

Apropos of nothing, I was reading the past few days of posts and found P-C's comment about what a motley crew we were picking, and he really wasn't wrong: Two Final Fivers, a mutineer, a convicted terrorist, a toaster-frakker, and the man who gave us the word "Leemo".

(Spellcheck knows "Fivers" but not "spellcheck". Go figure)

Of course you could probably pick any six characters from the show at random and get an eyeroll-worthy mix......

ThomasW, sorry for the slow reply, I'm not here that often...

Started at Alpha. Hmm ... I don't suppose you still have any of those cards, do you? :D

Oh, don't get me started. I have every card from Alpha to Invasion. I own four of the Block Lotus; 1 Alpha, 1 Beta and 2 Unlimited. And a dozen or so of Mox.

What kinds of decks did you make? Silly combo things that just weren't consistent enough to be workable? Or just aggro decks that had the mana curve wrong somehow?

Just crap ones. The term "aggro deck" didn't even exist by the time I quit.

You misspelled "tallest", Long-Drink.

ANYWAY, while we're waiting for ND - what do people think is the best location he can move to? Command lets you launch Vipers but only into 2 sectors, but Comms lets you move civvies anywhere. Plus Apollo's AVP ability isn't going to be used for a bit, since he'd have to discard a card(bad idea right now) to get back onto Galactica first.

It may be just as well that it's Anders in lockup, then.

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

Command lets you launch Vipers but only into 2 sectors

Command let you activate Vipers twice. You can move them in space and make them shoot and everything.

In our current situation, either one is good since there are only 3 Raiders to worry about, and we have 3 Vipers on the board already. As the Raiders advance, Viper activations can lead to quick takeouts. Comms will move the civvies farther and farther away. I don't really have a preference.
