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

BSG (Boomer)

The only chance we have at this point is an XO to Boomer on Cain's turn.

So you're saying there's still a chance!

Dear video gamers: cleaning up around the house I found a Nintendo 64 and a SuperNintendo that I doubt will ever be played again. I checked at Gamestop but they don't buy such dinosaurs. Are these (both with a crap load of games) worth anything to anybody? Is there a better place than the obvious (Google, Ebay) to find out? I know Buffistas is wise, that's why I ask you guys first.

Laga, does the N64 have the Zelda games? If it has both, feel free to email me an offer at profile addy.

Gah, delays keep coming up. Okay I choose OPTION 1.

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

BSG

Gah, delays keep coming up.

Don't you just hate that? You have a busy day of executing Presidents all planned out, and it's just one thing after another.

Tory Foster, you've killed a hippy and now you'll have to pay you have been found guilty of mutiny. Your freeing of the dangerous terrorist Boomer, and your hand in executing Galactica's communications officer, maintenance crew leader, and its best pilot, have left the Admiral with no option but to order your execution. Or go blow some stuff up. It was a hard choice - executing people and blowing stuff up are Cain's two favouritest things ever. In the end, however, the risk that she might accidentally blow her own self up swung it.

President Tory Foster is executed. She discards:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Support the People 2
Investigative Committee 3
Executive Order 2
Launch Scout 1
Scout for Fuel 6

Admiral Cain, you also need to discard 3 cards. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Tory reveals her loyalty cards. She is... NOT a Cylon! (You were all wondering about that, weren't you?) Morale falls by 1. Honestly, it sounds bad, but would you want to live in a world where the Admiral can just shoot the President and no one cares? It wouldn't be right.

P-C must now choose a replacement character. He has left COs: please welcome to the crew, the President of Hearts, Laura Roslin.

While we await Cain's discards, let's do the Cylon activation, which is the basestar. It fires:

Die roll: 6. Hit! Roslin has left COs to assign the damage to Pegasus. Pegasus has now sustained 4 damage; Battlestar Pegasus is destroyed, and Tory is avenged!

Finally, the jump track advances. Once Cain posts her discards, that will conclude the Turn of Two Presidents.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I love that y'all are choosing more female characters to come back as. And that everyone has been killed except Cain. There's something kinda right about that.

It's true, this is the Battlestar Minear or something.
