I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

BSG (Roslineluctable)

Oof. That GI may have been better to play as an interrupt, although the Cylons may have spiked it. I hope Cain has something good to play or Destiny is really kind because it's really not looking good so far.

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

BSG

Cain goes hard, lifting the tally to: 18 - 6 = 12 + Destiny. If Destiny reduces the tally by 3 or more, Cain is headed to Detention! Do the fates smile on her? Destiny reveals:

Major Victory 1
God's Plan 2

Tally: 19 - 8 = 11. Pass! Cain remains free. There is, however, no let-up in the action. First, there is an Occupation Force activation, which means Beyonce has reached the Shipyard! But the other big news: with the jump icon on this crisis card, Galactica has returned! It is not alone - two bsaestars have jumped in with it. We should place four vipers too, but there are only two undamaged ones available. Admiral Cain, you may split them however you see fit between Sectors 5 and 6. For the moment, I'll show them both in Sector 5. Let me know if you'd like to change that.

Prepared civilian ships may now be evacuated. The Admiral may, at any time she has an available action, declare that the fleet jumps away to end the game. All civvies remaining on New Caprica will be destroyed; any human characters left behind will be executed. If all dials remain positive after that, the humans win!

That concludes Cain's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw Red and Brown. We'll start her turn shortly.

BSG

Starbuck has left COs: Move to the Occupation Authority and activate it. Yet another Centurion, Elsworth Beast Major, appears at the OA. Gaga makes it to the Shipyard. But all eyes are on Beyonce (who is like, $200 worth of chicken for free). She stands fearless and awesome in the middle of the Shipyard, clucking menacingly. The OA activation means that she is going to destroy a civvie. ("Knock knock, motherfucker.") A centurion in the Shipyard destroys the top ship on the locked civvie pile. She therefore ignores the two prepped ships, and destroys ship C.

There is one decoy civvie left, out of four remaining. Is it ship C? The contents are........................................

2 Population

Ship D was the decoy. With the destruction of the SS "Packed In Like Sardines", Population (which has been at 1 for 21 turns) finally falls to 0!

CYLONS WIN!

Holy crap, whew!

Oh crap.

2 Population

Oh. Crap.

Population (which has been at 1 for 21 turns)

Hey, give it up for Team Human: we're scrappy!

I honestly cannot believe we lasted that long, and it would have taken a frakking miracle to win (I'M SORRY FOR NOT DESTROYING BEYONCE YOU GUYS), but, man, what a game.


Laga - Jan 06, 2012 5:59:11 am PST #14654 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Booooooomer)

Yeouch! That was a fun one.

I'M SORRY FOR NOT DESTROYING BEYONCE YOU GUYS

she was one tough chick-en. I made so many mistakes but that comes with being human, eh?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck)

WHOOT! Finally!

I swear at one point I thought we were going to be able to do you in before the sleeper phase, and then at one point I thought we weren't going to be able to do it at all! Damn scrappy humans!

That was a super wild game!

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

BSG (Dee)

Woo, Beyonce, I knew you could do it! Age of the giant metal chicken, y'all.

That was an amazing game. I was almost rooting for the humans sometimes.
