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

BSG (Bill)

I wish I could help you, Laura.

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

BSG (Roslin)

Yeah, sometimes it sucks being the President and the current player, and, unfortunately, I think the cards are a bigger concern right now, since there are ways to get Food back. I didn't want to make a decision without a little discussion, though.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

With food at 6, that will drop us in the red (or close to it), and we are only on round 1. It's a tough call.

Normally I'd say suck it up. But given the admiral has no cards... Passing skill checks with 2 players would be worse.

With trepidation, I say go for -2 food.

Yeah, that Sabotage really hurt us.

But given the admiral has no cards... Passing skill checks with 2 players would be worse.

Yeah, that's a problem.

Tightening my belt, I choose Option 1 and hope to raise Food with some sort of speech or whatever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No, we're on round 2! Barely, but we are.

Not that that is much better, but that's the game. Seems like a reasonable choice, Pres, but when we starve to death we'll know who to blame...

My point was not to correct you, it was to make us feel marginally better. Because I'm a healer. All nurturing and whatnot.

I think we also started with fewer resources because of No Sympathizer.

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

BSG

You did! And they've been dropping steadily ever since. Food drops to 4. Next, we have a raider activation. Starbuck blew up all the raiders, so instead the basestar launches a couple of replacements. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Roslin's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
