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

BSG

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.

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

BSG (Dee)

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

No, Roslin gets them. It's her ability.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Roslin gets the visions but it's Tigh's crisis. So it's like the Opera House thing? Never did understand what was going on with that.

Now, on with the game. Roslin has chosen option 1; Food falls by 2 to 6. Next up, the raiders activate. The raiders in Sector 1 have a target, the lone RSV:

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged!

Teh remaining three raiders move to Sector 6, while the raiders in the other sectors head clockwise towards the civvie bonanza in Sector 5.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Tigh's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Tigh's card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG (The Good Doctor)

Um, I don't mean to be whiny, I know we have a lot on our plates right now, but an XO would help ensure I get a full card draw to help with the skill checks. Stuck in sick bay only gives me 1 card to draw. Don't get me wrong, I love flirting with all the nurses, but ... Well, you get what I am saying.

BSG (Tigh)

If Baltar is metal (and don't forget he drew an extra loyalty card) an XO to him means two cylon turns in a row. On the other hand, I feel like Six has been helping us so far.

Opinions?
