You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Pass, I'm saving my EM for a more critical hit.

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

Next time I'll get the raider to insult the pilot's iPod shuffle selection too.

Cylon Attack

GODSDAMMIT I KNEW IT. I sure am glad I took out that one Raider now, or both of us in Sector 3 could have been toast. Whew.

And I pass on EMs as well. They're more powerful when the Raiders are attacking ME. Which they will be soon if we don't jump the frak out of here. Let's spring Anders and leave soon!

I've put in COs for the Brig check, if that's what Anders chooses. I know it will be low, so I will likely be saving my cards for something bigger. Hope everyone else can help a little each and Destiny is kind.

oh uh-oh. I burned my brig check cards on the last crisis.

Same here, unfortunately.

Since one way or another we'll be jumping soon, I want to bring something up: Do we want to try and avoid jumping to Distance 4 and straight into the Sleeper Phase while we're still kind of low on cards? Maybe pick a 2 over a 3 but a 3 over a 1?

I have passes from all players; the result stands. That concludes Chief Tyrol's turn. Anders has chosen to draws 1 Red for his optional draw. Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Well, that was not a bright shining turn helping humanity to glory.

I can try to take out that basestar if someone gets a chance to XO me before we jump, get rid of that relentless pursuit if I'm successful.

I'm not concerned about entering Sleeper phase with not a lot of cards. The brand new cylon would also have not a lot of cards. And I expect to be low on cards forever and ever.

Speaking of cards, I would not be able to help Anders get out of the brig. Sorry, man.

Hm! Does anyone have Major Victory? If we can try to get some Morale back, I'd vote for shooting the Basestar.
