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

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

Fuel and Population both fall by 1; more importantly, Distance increases to 5, and we enter the Sleeper Phase! New loyalty cards are going out now.

That concludes Dee's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollon)

Ah, the sweet smell of sleeper phase.

I pass my bonus loyalty card off to my dear old dad.

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

BSG (Cally)

So, Baltar, I suggest you repair something. I was going to on my turn, but, um, plans have changed (no, not like that, don't worry).

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

BSG (Dee)

We have a lot of priorities right now. We have one crewbie in sickbay, one in the brig (by card, not by suspicions) and 4 locations to be fixed! It would seem to make more sense to get Cally out of sickbay by XO, assuming she can repair something (and hoping she is still human). I would also love some help getting out of here, so I can do some repairs.

Also, CAGmiral (with an extra loyalty card, please still be human), we need to escort those civvies to safety before the cylons jump back in. So, I think COMMAND is a first choice for repair. Let's not forget folks, we have NO pilots! CAG is our only way to get birds in the air to protect our fleet!

(May the gods be with us. Amazed we are still alive)

BSG (Cally)

Baltar won't XO me out of Sickbay because of turn order, so that's not an option. I agree that we really need Command so we can escort civvies home.

Still human afaik. Waiting for that bonus card from my aluminum son.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Baltar)

To let you guys know - I sent our wonderful GM some questions and waiting to hear back before I make my move.

I'm not sure how much I can reveal about my cards due to secrecy rules so I'll keep mum.

Apollo's loyalty card has been sent to Adama, and answers sent to the good Doctor.

I'm not sure how much I can reveal about my cards due to secrecy rules so I'll keep mum.

About your loyalty cards, you can basically say nothing. (Well, you can lay claim to humanity. Or Cylonity, come to think of it. But beyond that, nothing.) About your skill cards, you can say whether or not you can do stuff, when said stuff is relevant. You can't use this just to list off your cards, you can't ever give points values, you can't say anything about the cards you play into a skill check beyond "high" or "low". (Or sometimes "medium".) Well, you can also say how many cards you play. In fact you're obliged to.

Examples:

"I have an XO. [Ok.] Can anyone scout?"
"I can scout. [Ok.] I'd rather not risk the raptor unless someone can help out with the die roll. Anyone have an SP?"
"No, sorry. [Ok]"
"No, but I can still help you out with that. [Holding a Calcs, and ok.]"
"ZOMG YOU GUYS I JUST DREW THREE SIX-POINT SKILL CARDS, THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME HAND EVER!" [Not ok, kind of gloaty, and did you really just say ZOMG?]
