GAH! It's too early in the season for that.

Bury it.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (The Good Doctor)

Well. I'm just a simple scientist. Right now I have no power to order a player. Should I order RSV into the action? Or move the civvies?

BSG (Starbuck)

What kind of doctor are you, can't get me out of Sickbay? Humph.

Anyway, it looks like if you move the civvies to sector 5, the raiders will approach them from both sides if they get activated right away, which I don't like though I don't know if it would actually make a difference. So command looks like the better option to me. But I'm not supposed to be operating heavy machinery, apparently.

BSG (baltar)

Sorry, I'm a book doc, not a meds doc. Wish I could get you out of sickbay. That was some sweet flying you did there.

I agree, moving civvies would be eh.

MOVE: I move to Command.

ACTION:

Order RSV in sector 6 to sector 1, then to sector 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

The RSV now holds the line in Sector 2. Hey did you know Dr Baltar's been working on a Cylon detector? That's comforting, isn't it? ...Why do we need a detector to spot giant metal chickens robots? Um. Did we not mention that they look human now? Baltar's crisis card is:

Dr Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice. In addition, which colour would you like to draw for your Delusional Intuition?

We're having a post-work game night at the office tomorrow because our developer is here from England for the week. I know he'd love to play BSG, but am I right in thinking that if we do we should plan on it taking 4-5 hours? I've only played twice IRL.

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

BSG (Tigh me up Tigh me down)

I can help a little with the check but if we go for the die roll does anyone have a Strategic Plan?

If people haven't played before, it can take four hours, mostly because it takes a while to explain the game. Normally, it should take only two to three, but that's when turns are moving swiftly because people know what to do.

BSG

I can't help with the check or the die roll.

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

I have never played BSG irl.

I recently started playing Magic. In the past I usually had to be cajolled into it and I never really enjoyed playing. I have a theory about this.

You Magic folks have your favorite deck, the one you like to play with, your A deck. When you talk a newbie into playing you give us your B deck. And we lose.

Well the first time I expressed an interest in playing, D suggested I build my own deck. He pointed me at the Wizards website and I found an article called 'Building your first deck'. I followed the guidelines and Won my First Game!

I got nothing to help with this crisis, not even an opinion.
