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

OK, cool. I was thinking it was any three.

You're thinking of the number of empty Supply piles that trigger the end of Dominion.

Ha, that's half of us temporarily out of commission one way or another. Jeesh.

Pretty sure it's all four that have to be damaged for Pegasus to be destroyed.

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

Any other DDO players?

So sorry for delaying things. I've been on vacation and have been neglecting this game.

I was hopeful that I'd be able to XO someone to get the extra actions, but that is sadly not an option. What do we have to do to spring someone from the brig? Do I have options to get that started? I could also push the FTL jump, or I could move and take a shot at the base star.

I think you can move to the brig and initiate a brig check but we've got some time before Anders' turn comes up again, perhaps we should try again with the quorum on Zarek's turn.

If it was up to me, I would go activate the FTL

Only Anders can activate the Brig, so without an XO, that's not an option. I'm kind of leaning toward pushing the jump. Taking one shot at the basestar is kind of pointless if your Crisis Card jumps us, and if it doesn't jump us, boy, we sure wish we would have jumped already. The only reason to fire at the basestar is to attempt to destroy it before we jump, and we can't keep ourselves from jumping early. It is more likely that we will jump before we destroy the basestar at this point, so let's get one-up on the jump track if we can.

I think you can move to the brig

You cannot move to the Brig or Sickbay.

If you had the card that lets you take an action instead of moving you could activate an RSV to attack the base star.

If not, I see no reason not to jump.

SO, sorry to interrupt at the BSG-ing going on here, but anyone out there playing Words With Friends on their phone? I need more friends to play it with!

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

BSG

Just to confirm a few rules issues:

1. It takes four damage tokens to destroy Pegasus. It currently has two damage tokens.

2. You may not move to the Brig (or Sickbay) voluntarily.

3. You may not initiate a Brig check on behalf of someone else. Only the player trying to escape the Brig can start that check.

Finally, two courses of action that have been suggested are taking a shot at the basestar or activating FTL Control, both of which involve a die roll. Anyone with an SP or Calcs, feel free to send me COs as to whether you pass or play in either case.

When we jump, I get plopped back in the Hangar Deck, right?
