GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Shouldn't the check be 7 YG (B)?

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

Guilty Conscience: 7 YG(B)

Destiny: 2 cards

Here's the full check:

Guilty Conscience: 7 YG(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Cally: 1 card
Helo: 1 card

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Preventative Policy 3
Executive Order 1
Establish Network 0
Repair 2

The EN-0 doubles the value of the Repair-2. Thanks to the Scientific Research, it counts positive:
Tally: 10 - 2 = 8. Pass! Apparently the crew has no conscience after all.

Finally, the jump track gets moving again. That concludes Baltar's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyrol, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (President)

Nice job team! Now we can take a chance to breathe a little. ::Deep inhale:: Ah, the great smell of recycled air. Pwew. Y'all really should change your air filters on this boat. Colonial One smells so much better.

Now that we have clear skies, lets get our co-workers out of the brig and sickbay.

Geez, we are really just scraping by on these checks! Usually we're overplaying like hell or getting hosed by Destiny.

Chief, I hope you can XO me, or I'm stuck here since Cally will use her turn to get out of the pokey and Helo will be busy yelling at everyone for leaving him behind.

And here I was thinking it was good communication, and not wasting our limited resources. I think it's great! We are in rather good card shape for where we are. Typically at this point, we are lucky to have 1 or 2 cards each.

So, bt, If I Repair something on my turn, I get a bonus action, I can use to XO someone else?

Thrive to spite them

So I was at Goodwill and bought some games today. Risk, Parcheesi and then I found a 1976 All New Third Edition The Price is Right! It was only $1! And there are pieces not even punched out so I assume most of it is there.

I doubt I'll ever play it but it's cool to look at.
