My gameplay is going to be tricky for the next two weeks. I'll try to put together a good set of CO's later today and send everything along. I'm at LAX right now waiting for my flight to Barcelona and then I'll be on a ship for two weeks. I'll be checking in online hopefully once a day so that I can keep up.
I'm thinking for this turn I should continue to pump the research lab, is there anything else I should do?
BSG
Or I could XO someone. Who should get the XO?
BSG
It's getting close to my turn, so you could XO me to join the Research Lab party. Zarek should use his turn to be the President, and Helo won't want to XO me.
BSG
I say get sicko outta sickbay.
BSG
Is that a worthwhile thing right now, or do we wait until sicko can jump directly into a viper?
BSG
Sicko can't jump into a Viper unless we're attacked. If we are not attacked on your turn, Zarek could XO me IF he draws an XO AND he has nothing better to do with the Quorum. If we are not attacked on his turn, Helo may be hesitant to XO me because of turn order. If we are not attacked on Helo's turn, then I'm still in Sickbay.
I think this is probably the safest option, especially since we can't guarantee that Zarek or Helo will even draw an XO. (Of course, you don't need an XO to free me, but it's a more useful way of freeing me since I can at least get a card and still be ready to defend against an attack instead of hanging out in space with nothing to do.)
BSG
Sounds like it's the right plan.
I XO Apollo.
BSG
I move to the Research Lab and draw Purple.
BSG
Card sent. You know, you've had Morale-raising crises the last two turns in a row. That just doesn't seem right. Let's see what else we have. ...You've already pulled Detector Sabotage, I can't hit the Research Lab... Ooh! This is a good one!

Admiral's Choice
This is the no-jump Riots. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
No jump? Aw, man. We were having a pretty good run, too.
Oh, well, that's a no-brainer. Option 1, duh. We've got Fuel and Population to spare. Not so with Food.
