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.

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

BSG

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.

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

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?

BSG (Starbuck)

It's worse than that - if Baltar's a Cylon then your XO would mean 3 Cylon turns in a row. Six doesn't seem bent on mayhem, but I don't think we can count on that. Who knows what a Cylon Leader wants? Not me.

But if he's human, it'd be better to have him out and about, doing stuff and getting cards. So how much do you want to risk, I guess. I kind of should have XOd him on my turn to avoid this dilemma, but I thought it was more important to get all our Civilian chickens under my protective wing.

BSG (Tigh)

I thought it was weird when Baltar checked Starbuck's loyalty card instead of Roslin's.

On the other hand if he's human we really need him back on his feet.

I'll give the others a bit more time to weigh in but right now I'm thinking an XO is too risky.

BSG (Team Human Doctor)

I completely understand your hesitation. And I'd not fault you for not XOing me. Whine, sure, but I'd be understanding.

I checked Starbuck to make sure what she said about the admiral was true. It was a two for one, in my opinion.

If XOd, I'm happy to follow your wishes exactly. My thoughts are going to Weapons and firing on basestars. But, again, I will do as commanded.

Eta: I forgot I draw blue! I could patch up a viper! Just another option.

Thrive to spite them

BSG Cally

I didn't play as wisely as I should have, but I got caught up in the moment and having so many choices was a little overwhelming.

It was my first turn I wanted to be all dramatic and stuff! Hopefully I didn't mess anything up.
