Well, if the sister sent a message from the phone she must have some kind of access, I guess? You could send a game mail to the player's account, and an email to the phone, asking for confirmation.

I get how it feels like you should be doing something right now, but you're not really in a position to do anything besides try to get confirmation and keep the rest of the guild from panicking.

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

I sent a site mail to her account telling her we care and to please let us know how she is, and I'm parked in the game watching as people log in so I'll see her if she does.

a year ago they made me 'morale officer' and jokingly refer to me as the 'cruise director' but I never thought I'd have to deal with something like this.

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

I hope your fellow gamer is ok, Laga.

Baltar opts to bury that crisis. But it's ok, because I have a back-up that I'm sure he'll like. Baltar's crisis card is:

Water Shortage (B)
President's Choice

President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice for your Delusional Intuition, and then post your choice.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

Geez, what do we have to do for a jump icon?

Good thing you just increased Food, eh?

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

BSG (President)

Didn't I already have the crisis card where I had to toss 5 cards? And we see how that limited my involvement in crisis checks for awhile.

Is everyone else on board with Gaeta, and going for the ding to food?

I'm cool with skipping lunch a few times this week.

We got in touch with the gamer. It seems she is in the hospital but? I don't know. there is weirdness. I hate to think someone would lie about attempting suicide and being hospitalized but.. she won't give us hospital info and it just feels sketchy.

Well, in the interest of keeping things moving, since the game is moving kinda slow, since we have 3 in vote of tightening belts, I go with OPTION 1.

President Baltar has chosen option 1; Food returns to its starting value of 7. That concludes Baltar's turn, and he is one card over his hand limit. He discards Preventative Policy 4.

Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyrol, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
