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

BSG

I have orders from Roslin and Cally:

Brig: 7 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 0 cards
Tigh: 1 card
Six: 1 card
Baltar: 0 cards
Dee: 3 cards
Roslin: 1 card
Cally: 0 cards

Cards played:

Preventative Policy 5
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 4
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 4

Tally: 17 - 6 = 11. Pass! But! Cally can use her Quick Fix to remove one card. If she were to remove the PP-5, then the check would fail by 1. ...I have COs from her, and she removes the DE-4. Check passes by 8!

President Tigh, you may move to any location on Galactica. When you're ready, please post your choice. Once you've moved, you will have one action remaining from the XO (which you may use to activate your new location, if you wish). When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG (Tigh)

Thanks guys! I will move to Command and tender my Resignation

I figure this is a good place to be in case of cylon attack and Roslin is way better at being president.

In addition to handing back the presidency This card also allows me to discard the last remaining quorum card and draw another .

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

BSG (Dee-fused)

Cally can use her Quick Fix to remove one card. If she were to remove the PP-5, then the check would fail by 1. ...I have COs from her, and she removes the DE-4.

Wait, wait, what is this. Why would she do this? Just for the lulz? Should we be suspicious? Can she do this only once per turn?

Thanks guys! I will move to Command and tender my Resignation

Whoa, who knew you could do that? Besides you, I mean.

This card also allows me to discard the last remaining quorum card and draw another .

Well, but then Roslin gets the Quorum cards, right?

Anyway, nice to have you out of the Brig, former Admiral!

Yes, Roslin gets back the presidency and one new quorum card.

Anyway, nice to have you out of the Brig, former Admiral!

It's nice to be back with my liquor cabinet crew.

She can do this on any skill check in her turn, as many times as there are skill checks on her turn. It's your choice whether you want to be suspicious of her actions; she basically doubled the pass margin from 4 to 8. Because she can.

Tigh plays the Resignation Quorum card. Discards are open, so we can see that Tigh discarded Enact Production Quotas.

A new Quorum Card, along with the Presidency, is on its way to Roslin. In the meantime, was it such a good idea to release Tigh? I mean, he must have done something, right? Cally's crisis card is:

Guilt by Collusion
Skill check (9 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Especially if you're early in player order, I encourage this. Starbuck Tigh plays first, Cally last.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

I guess if you want to be suspicious because I made sure Tigh got out of the brig then be suspicious.

BSG (Dee)

Pass on interrupts. I can help on this check, but I'm afraid since we used a lot of Purple on the last check. I don't know of anyone we want to send to the Brig, but I don't want to lose Morale!

I guess if you want to be suspicious because I made sure Tigh got out of the brig then be suspicious.

I was a little confused about the math there, but I think I figured out what happened, and I think I trust you because of it, which confuses me now because I can't figure out if we have a second Cylon or not.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (The once again President Roslin)

I can help a little on this check.

I would love the chance to build up my hand of quorum cards, as we will need all the help we can get once we hit new caprica.
