No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Folks, this might not be the bst time to mention this, as we are talking about which option for the crisis. , but work starts tomorrow again, so dunno if I will be on when options of what to do is going about. My turn is rapidly drawing near, and I am in sickbay. That means only one card to draw. Just suggesting an XO, so I can be of use. Right now, my cards really suck, I'd love a fresh full batch, to hopefully draw something useful.

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

Zombie Mode is hard. I finally had to ask D's help clearing one of the cemeteries.

So sorry about the delay!

I choose OPTION 2

Roslin orders Tigh to release his stash of Hostess cupcakes to the masses! In the ensuing slap-fight, Tigh discards:

Guts and Initiative 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1

Rosin discards:

Red Tape 0
Iron Will 0

What next? Oh, I get to shoot at some RSVs! The order doesn't really matter, so let's start with Sector 6, where we have four raiders against a lone RSV:

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged! The remaining raiders have the choice of chasing the lone civvie in Sector 1, or joining in the main action in Sector 5. Being simple creatures, they move clockwise to Sector 1.

In Sector 5, we have five raiders against two RSVs:

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed!
b Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed!
Ooh, that smarts. The other three raiders get their pick of civvies to destroy. Wait, Tigh is current player. They get his pick of civvies to destroy. Admiral Tigh, please choose three civvies from the selection in Sector 5 (A B C D E F and H) for immediate boomage.

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

BSG (Dee-pressed)

FOR FRAK'S SAKE VIPERS WHAT IS YOUR DEAL.

Tigh, I recommend you choose B, C, and D.

Also, I know you really want to be let out of Sickbay, Baltar, but Sector 5 is going to be a bloodbath on the next Raider activation unless we either get those civvies out of there or give them protection. An XO to Baltar could only get 2 RSVs out there, whereas an XO to Cally could get 4 out there.

Why Vipers? why?

Send me where I need to go and I will do whatever I can.
