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.
BSG
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.
BSG (Ellen)
is there any way to increase population?
Well, the Admiral and I have been trying our best.
BSG (Tory)
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.
BSG (Tory)
I am definitely growing a beard.
Pornstache! Pornstache! Pornstache!
BSG (Ellen)
I am

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:
Rescue Detainees

Ellen, when you're ready, please post your choice. Everyone else can send me COs for her options.
BSG (Muhammad Elli)
Yeah, take THAT!
Since everyone passed, I'm guessing we wouldn't have a plan to keep someone out of Detention if I chose Option 2, so I'm leaning toward the skill check since I have cards to burn anyway. Everyone able to help out against a Morale hit?
(On other hand, 50-50 no one goes to Detention? I could volunteer so that everyone else could get to work on prepping ships and whatnot. I don't know. Conflicted!)
