THREE! THREE CYLON ATTACKS THIS JUMP CYCLE! AH, AH, AH!

Aw, too bad Chief doesn't have any more cards to discard; that would have been even better.

Basestar 2: 3. Miss. Anyone want to play a Calcs, turn it into a hit? ...No?

I really wish Cally were a Cylon right now because that would be a pretty funny Reveal.

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

Neverwinter

Had to try it. I'm on the Mindflayer server, er, shard. Cliq the Tiefling Trickster Rogue. I haven't figured out how to find friends or form parties yet but I'm already level 5.

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

BSG

Airlock damaged. Fortunately, Cally's still available for a face-shooting. (Unless, I suppose, Cally is the intended recipient.)

Finally, the current player Panics! and discards three cards. Chief only has one card, I'm afraid; he tosses Repair 1.

That concludes Chief's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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.

Is that still in beta, Laga, or has it been released?

(X-posting with Other Media): So, someone took all the cutscenes from Injustice: Gods Among Us and turned them into a 2-hour movie. [link]

I'm actually pretty impressed. Other than the goofiness of the quicktime events and the cuts from the actual playing of the game being skipped, it feels like a DC animated movie.

A couple of notes about the latest turn summary:

  • If Pegasus is damaged one more time, it will be destroyed.
  • There are two NPCs in Administration. If anyone ends their Movement step in Administration, they will encounter one NPC only; it is the player's choice whether they encounter Zarek or Doral.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

This was a wonderful turn.

Neverwinter

I believe it's still in beta. I had a lot of lag issues but never died from it. Oh but then D got home, made a character, and found himself in a queue of over 6000. He got tired of waiting and played DDO instead.
