I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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

By CO, Tory plays a Preventative Policy-5, for a running tally of 9 and a partial pass. Gaeta is last to play.

I now have everyone's play:

Medical Breakthrough: 12 YGP

Destiny: 0 cards
Apollo: 0 cards
Kat: 0 cards
Adama: Executive Order 1, Declare Emergency 3
Tory: Preventative Policy 5
Gaeta: Executive Order 2, Repair 2

Tally: 13 - 0 = 13. Pass! The crew all draw one extra card, and everyone has opted for a different colour:

Adama: Purple
Tory: Yellow
Gaeta: Blue
Apollo: Red

Cards are going out now. Finally, the heavy raider advances to Sector 5. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1Y/1G for his optional draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Sorry, one final piece of business: Gaeta now has 12 cards and must discard two. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your discards.

Administrative note: Adama's Medical Breakthrough draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Apollo)

Anyone besides the Toaster have any suggestions about what I should do?

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

BSG (La Presidente)

  • XO Felix to open fire on sector 3 (no civvies, so no danger, right?)
  • XO Pappy to Nuke sector 3 (if good enough roll, could take out all 3 raiders AND basestar, I think
  • Move to sector 5 and go after that Heavy so we don't get a boarding party
  • stay were you are, and take out the raider
  • XO Pappy to open up Weapons on the injured Basestar.

A couple ideas. In no particular order. Plenty to do. I think your sector is ok with the RSV there, for at least one more round. I'm concerned that another raider activation, those 3 can be in striking distance. Also worried that more Raiders can come on the field with TWO basestars on the table. Also, don't want a boarding party. I can hear Kat cackle already, if that happens. ::shivers::

I kind of want to save the nukes for New Caprica. Also, if we gun for Basestars, it's best if it happen on my turn. Hint Hint.

Aw, it's cute that you think you'll last that long.

HA! Keep telling yourself that, skinjob! Humans don't know the meaning of the word "surrender"!

.....um, in fact, this dictionary appears to be missing everything between "rhododendron" and "tantalize". Has Kara been doing arts-and-crafts therapy again?
