(Hopefully non-intrusive sidebar, I can totally delete this, but--)

You are all amazing.

I came here to score recs for my PSP and instead you guys are totally rocking this RPG. I love you all.

Play Persona 2:Innocent Sin. It's insane.

Also, do you have Portal 2(Not for PSP, obviously)?

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

Everyone's passes are still good.

Die roll: 6. Basestar destroyed! The basestars have fallen to the onslaught of Adama's twin bazookas!

Fortunately, I always carry a spare. Gaeta's crisi is:

The Guardians
Cylon Attack

Adama's actions do, however, mean that the basestar activation has no effect. Boo.

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

BSG (Ellen)

What is with this game? Give us a break here! We destroyed Scar AND two basestars AND YOU STILL WON'T LEAVE US ALONE.

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

BSG (Tory)

But ... We destroyed Scar AND two basestars!

Well, exactly. You've pissed them off now.

Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Ellen of Tory)

I can at least consolidate the civvies in Sector 5. Or Gaeta can pew-pew a lot. I don't know. We're in trouble!

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

BSG (Tory the very decisive President)

I do have an XO and (we don't want to destroy this basestar, right? We want to jump away?) I'm leaning towards asking Gaeta to pew-pew-pew but since things are getting a bit dicey I will pause to see if anybody has a better idea.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Yeah, that's the best idea I've got, ineffective as pewpewpew is, since we don't have a pilot (glares balefully in Boomer's general direction).
