Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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

BSG (Chief)

Are you saying that "DIE CHIEF DIE" poster on the bridge is about me?

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

Nooo... It's in, um, German. Means "The Chief, The". Sideshow Adama would never wish you dead!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (It was not to be Roslin)

Well, shoot. How pathetic is it that the only decision I get to make as President is whether or not to be President? But I'm having a hard enough time of card management as it is.

I choose Option 1. But because I am a benevolent leader, I do not kill off the Chief, but instead hand off my title to Apollo, making him CAPrez.

All hail CAGsident Adama! You will receive the Quorum deck shortly. All the power in the fleet, in the hands of one dynasty.

Naturally, the Cylons can't pass up the chance to shoot at the President. The raiders open fire, first upon Apollo's obedient lackey:

Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 1. Miss.

Stage fright can afflict the best of us. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes the Chief's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green for his variable draw, one for each of his titles. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Apollo's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Let's see how many times we can change Presidents this game. Does everyone get a turn? I can't wait for my three turns as President.

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

BSG (Cally)

I can the the president who shot someone in the face!

Unfortunately for my trigger finger, I am thinking we're all human at this point.

Sleeper Phase is going to be hilarious. And deadly.

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

BSG ( CAGsident Adama the Younger)

Elected office, eh? Well, that's new.

OK, well, I'm not sure what to do now. I can always shoot at raiders, of course. It would be nice if we could take care of that Heavy - Chief, want to take a shot? Moving to the President's Office and taking up the Presidential duties in earnest would require a lot of maneuvering and conflict with my CAG duties, so, probably not that. I will do my best to govern from a viper.

What do we think?
