Destiny, you are such a card.
Pun not intended when I started, but I like it now that I see it.
Hey, Galacticans, I know we're concerned about New Caprica and all, but we've got a LOT of Population, can we please consider jumping early?
BSG (Dee)
Aww, Destiny thought that was a good trick too.
Ha! Man, that was...hilariously lame. Way to be super helpful, Destiny? Geez.
Finally, three new raiders launch from the basestar.
Booooo! Whatever, at least Roslin can choose a Crisis that lets us jump! Unless she gets shitty choices.
I'm not actually sure what the best course of action is for Roslin. I could scout the Destination deck some more, looking for the Destination that will get us to New Caprica, if the Raptor pilots aren't asleep.
Tigh, got any Quorum tricks up your sleeve? Maybe an XO to you could get us some Food or Fuel? Well, let's not do the one where we lose Morale.
Hey, Galacticans, I know we're concerned about New Caprica and all, but we've got a LOT of Population, can we please consider jumping early?
I'd be okay with this, though. Especially if someone had an SP. It would take Roslin three cards to do it herself, though, so I hope she draws an XO.
BSG (Tigh)
I do not have any nifty quorum tricks at this time.
BSG (Roslin)
Again, no XO. WTF deck? I can move to somewhere on Galactica, but it will cost me cards to do that, I'd rather not do the jump early since it will cost me a lot of cards and we need those cards.
BSG (Dee)
Go to
Pegasus
and shoot something? Maybe the Raiders, to keep them at bay? You have no need to be on
Colonial One,
after all.
BSG (Starbuck)
Well, good luck with your visions! We could use a relatively friendly crisis.
I don't know what to advise you to do meanwhile. I found it really frustrating trying to play not-President Roslin, can't say I really figured out good tactics for that situation.
BSG (Roslin)
Yeah, I'm leaning towards not moving and just using my vision to try to get us the best possible crisis. Moving and activating a location is just so costly in cards. I feel like I should hang onto them in case we get a tough crisis.
BSG (Tigh)
I support that decision. I really did want to give you back the presidency (and might still if it comes up and I have nothing better to do at the time) but I'm sure glad I chose to execute Baltar.
