Woo! Sector 1, you're goin' down. My dad can totally beat up your damaged basestar.

(Cheerleading is all I can do to help, so, rah!)

Thrive to spite them

Non BSG stuff-

Ticket to Ride is a success! Will and I both loved the game and it was so easy, especially after Munchkin and having to read all the cards. Now I want to play more.

Although I think we need to get a co op game. I've ended up losing most of the games (mostly due to luck and not shuffling cards enough) and Will started going easy on me and felt bad for beating me.

Munchkin was fun but kind of challenging to figure out all the rules. We're going to come up with our own 2 handed variation so it's a little more fun to play.

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

Good stuff! If you enjoy Ticket to Ride, I recommend the 1910 expansion. I think it makes the game more balanced and broadens the viable strategies.

Back to BSG, and Adama is activating Pegasus CIC. Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 2. Pegasus damaged! There is only one undamaged location left; Pegasus destroyed! Adama lands in Sickbay with Cally.

Wow, you guys blew up your own battlestar. Even the Cylons have to feel a little bad about that. Maybe they could give you a time out or something. Adama's crisis card is:

An Offer of Peace
Skill Check (12 YG)

Note that as this is Adama's turn, all cards of value 1 count positive regardless of colour. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Ticket to Ride - The Expansion is on my list of wants. I really liked playing and I wasn't even sure I wanted to play Ticket to Ride with all the hype but it's fun and easy.

Gaaargh!

Well, to be fair, you locked up your ex-president first, so apparently it's going around!
