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

BSG (President Foster)

Making choices AGAIN?? Gosh, being President is such a chore.

But this one is easy: Option 2.

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

BSG

Fuel falls by 1 as Tory caves in to the union's demands! That concludes Cally's turn. Tory's cards are going out. Tory, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Foster the People)

Cally isn't in Sickbay! She's in Main Batteries, fighting the good fight.

Let's hope that Centurion stays put while I remain on my throne and activate the President's Office to draw a Quorum card.

BSG (Tory Tory Hippos)

Well, after that Water Shortage, I think it's time for some Food Rationing. Luckily, I have a Strategic Plan(ning)-4 to help us out.

And, oh, I'm such a hardworking president, you want to give me a gift? Oh, I will draw 2 Purple, then.

BSG

Will this food consent to rationing?

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. Alas, no. Sadly, this has left the fleet exposed to a twinkie-related subterfuge, and it's fallen into a trap! Will the Admiral rescue their wandering tummies? Tory's crisis card is:

Rescue the Fleet
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG (Tory Tory Hippos)

Frak, that wasn't very effective rationing, and a waste of a perfectly good plan.

And, oof. Unfortunately, Admiral, I think we need to go with Option 2 on this one, given our New Caprica destination. Can't lose non-civvie Population! Although, damn, that is a hell of a lot of ships to place. Maybe it's not worth it. Especially if we get a real attack on top of it.


Laga - Nov 29, 2011 12:25:39 pm PST #14197 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Cally)

Ugh that is a tough choice. It would still leave us with 10 Pop if we take the pop loss but it's so early in the game I'm just not sure which is the sounder choice. If it were mine I'd go with option 2.


NoiseDesign - Nov 29, 2011 12:30:43 pm PST #14198 of 26134
Our wings are not tired

BSG

I went with Option 1, I think the toasters can do a lot more damage if we allow that much metal in the sky around us this early in a jump cycle. We'd probably end up needing to jump out early and then risk the population at that point.
