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

Dear Gods! You could be right!!

Eh, all gaming aside, I think this one was player human error.

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

It was very early in the morning when I made that post. I'd been awake for all of five minutes and was hurrying to get ready for work.

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

Nothing else has happened, you can change your orders. See, that's what happens when you post before breakfast. That and horrible, gnawing hunger! Helo's crisis card is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, at least it's not me doing BOTH card tosses this time.

Helo, how do you feel about loosing some cards? I'd prefer not. Seems this is the third or fourth time for me.

I have to discard one card anyway but if we went with option 1 could the quorum help us get some of that food back?

Holy crap. Fantasy Flight Games has just announced another Battlestar Galactica expansion - Daybreak: [link]

It will include at least one new game option, "The Search for Home", and a bunch of new cards and things, including twelve new characters.

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

Oh my shit.

I feel like I've given up hope of ever playing the base game I actually bought, so I look forward to playing the new expansion here.

One would think, in this pile of cards, SOMETHING for food. I'm not sure secrecy rules allow me to say yes or no, I'll just say, best not to hold one's breath on the Quorum making food. Fat bastards ate it all, I'm sure (I hope the mic wasn't on when I said that).

Given where we are, and the lack of attack cards lately, I think we will need as many skill check cards as we can get! If it's ok with you Admiral, I think option 1 would be best.

Wow! Plastic cylons!

Alright let's go with option one but keep a look out for opportunities to increase our food.
