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

BSG (Starbuck Stops Here)

President Roslin, ma'am, your decision and all but my losing 3 cards would be a hardship for our defense. Just so you know.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I'm apt to agree with Starbuck. I don' think we can afford to lose that many cards.

I choose OPTION 1.

May the gods be with us.

Also, shouldn't I have chosen between two crisis cards on my turn, or do I misunderstand how the visions work.

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

BSG (Dee)

Ooooops, no, you're right. You would have seen both those attacks, and we should only have gotten one.

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

Good point. You should, and it would've been a significant one, with you choosing between Boarding Parties and Surrounded. (I'm sure the rest of the crew would've been entirely understanding when you played an attack card on your very first turn.)

There's no easy way to rewind this, but what I can do is pass it forward to Tigh's turn. On his turn, you can choose between two crisis cards. How does that sound for a solution?

Heh, I like that idea, since we're pretty sure he's human.

That works for me. Tigh will get some drunken visions this turn.

Incidentally, some of you may remember that the very first BSG game on this forum featured President Roslin delivering a Cylon attack with her Religious Visions. Yes, she was (at the time) human, and yes, she had drawn two attacks. Four turns later, she was in the Brig.

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

BSG (Tigh)

Wait, I get the visions, or Roslin does?.. on my turn I mean.

You get them, although I guess there's no reason why we can't let Roslin have the visions instead, as is her wont.
