It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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

All right, guys, I think this game we ought to build up our resources a little better, like bt's commentary, so I will not move, discard RT0 and CP1 to activate the President's Office and draw a quorum card. I will then pause to see what kind of quorumy goodness it is.

Card sent. President Roslin, you may either draw another Quorum card, or play one from your hand. When you're ready, please post your orders.

BSG (Roslin)

Hmm, interesting, but maybe for later. I draw another Quorum card.

Card sent, and with that, it's time to hail Roslin as a visionary! Religious Visions have been sent. President Roslin, when you're ready, please advise me (or post here) your choice.

BSG (Your Prez)

I choose Hidden Identity. I will take the risk for the good of my peoples! But don't brig me, okay? This check has better colors for us, so I think we have better odds. I can help on the check.

And I interrupt with IC4.

BSG

Not really sure what to make of this card's title, given that Roslin actually chose it. But there it is. Roslin is Iron Man. Her crisis card is:

Hidden Identity
Skill Check (12 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. Roslin has played an IC-4, though if anyone else wants to play a different IC, you can offer and Roslin (as current player) decides which one to accept.

BSG (Apollo)

More frakkin' raiders. Awesome.

Pass on interrupts. I can help a little, though if y'all can carry this without me I'd like to use that card for something else.

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

BSG (Cally)

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot.
