Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Doesn't Apollo get a CAG action too?

Only if he orders one. It's an option, but it's not automatic.

Only on his turn.

No, the CAG can take a CAG action on any turn in which he has an action.

Oh, crap. Whoops. Well, I'll know for next time.

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

BSG (Cally)

Aha! I knew that felt wrong. I had it backwards. Because when I was CAG, I was XO'd so much that I thought I always got three actions. But on my own turn, I only got two! Boooo.

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

FYI folks, Catan for iPad has a price drop! $4! So much easier to play when you don't have to set up the board !

President Baltar plays an Investigative Committee 5 from his sick bed, bringing some high-octane transparency to this check. Everyone else passes on interrupts.

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP(1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: Launch Scout 2
Baltar:
Cally: (COs received)
Leoben: (COs received)
Apollo: (COs received)
Adama:

Baltar is up next. Reminder: as this is Adama's turn, all 1-value skill cards count positive, regardless of colour.

Poke... poke? Bump. Dr. are you awake?

Eew, he is popping major tent in his lab. I'm not going to wake him. Admiral? Can you wake him up?

Dr Baltar sent orders to me. A reminder here: COs are good things; however, if it's actually your turn to play into a skill check or such like, it's more efficient to post in-thread. That lets the others get on with it.

In any case, I have many COs to post:

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: Launch Scout 2
Baltar: Declare Emergency 3
Cally: Consolidate Power 2, Iron Will 0
Leoben: 0 cards
Apollo: Executive Order 2
Adama:

Running tally: 9 + Destiny. Admiral Planet Adama is last to play.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know what Destiny has in store for you, Admiral! I could advise you if you are unsure what to play.
