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

If I get executed, do I get the last Loyalty card?

No, that's just for returning humans. I also shuffle an additional card into the deck before dealing out the new loyalty card, so there's a 50% chance they get the remaining card, and a 50% chance they get a YANAC card.

Meanwhile, Ellen is trying to punch a Centurion in the face. SPs, I call for them. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

Pass on interrupts.

I'm sorry because I think we covered this before and I just didn't like the answer but as I'm not absolutely positive... is there any way to increase population?

Also I haven't played this version before so I don't have much clue what the best strategy is. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

No interrupts.

I don't know of any way to increase population. I mean, other than the normal way, which appears not to be a game mechanism.

Well, the Admiral and I have been trying our best.

OK, so we pause the game for 9 months and get to work!

BSG (Gaeta)

Well, we are on New Caprica, yay, so I'm sure everything's going to be just fine! We should definitely learn to live in peace with our robotic overlords and have a lot of sex resulting in completely confusing romantic pairings when our viewership comes back after the hiatus. We could grow beards, too, maybe.

That's long enough for interrupts. Let's see if Ellen's been honing her face-punching skills:

Die roll: 6. Success! The Centurion goes down, face-punched with extreme prejudice! The other one just stands there staring at Ellen, like "Dude, that is so hot!"

Ellen is acclaimed as a hero! (Except by Boomer, who's like, standing right there. Awkward!) What can she and her face-punching skills do for an encore? Ellen's crisis, the first of New Caprica, is:

Ellen, when you're ready, please post your choice. Everyone else can send me COs for her options.
