Art Crawl!!!

Interrupting the usual to say that I just read over at Westeros that one of the fans is making a computer Cyvasse game.

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

BSG

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: 0 cards
Apollo: 0 cards
Chief: 0 cards

BSG

Anders, I recommend you put your "bunch" in. We still have Destiny to worry about.

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

BSG

yeah, much as I hate overshooting, it's better than the alternative.

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

BSG

Sorry about that, I thought I had e-mailed CO's last night. E-mail sent. I play 1 card.

I have everyone's play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: 0 cards
Apollo: 0 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Anders: 1 card
Gaeta: 1 card
Tory: 5 cards

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 5
Launch Scout 1
Scientific Research 5
By Your Command 1

Tally: 13 - 6 = 7. Fail! However, the Iron Will kicks in. As the total was within 4 points of the pass level, the fail effect does not take place. No effect!

Finally, the basestars both spit out some fresh raiders. That concludes Tory's turn. Helo's cards are going out. I have COs from Helo for his turn, coming up in a little while.

I'm moving to FTL to jump us the frak out of here.

Remind me again, what are the odds of losing pop without an SP?

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

BSG

75%. But you get a re-roll.

Also, I'm glad I took out all those Raiders before. If they had activated just now, that wouldn't have been fun.

75% chance without an SP, 50% chance with one.
