Roslin's orders:
Move: none
Action: activate President's Office
Her discards are:
Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
First card is going out. You may now draw another Quorum card, or play one from your hand. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
Roslin has chosen to draw another Quorum card, which has been sent. I've also sent her Religious Visions. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice of crisis card.
BSG
Administrative note: Roslin's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
BSG
First, a correction: Roslin discarded an Executive Order 1, not a CP-1.
Roslin has chosen her crisis card. It is:
Familiar Face
Current Player's Choice
She has also made her choice, and avoids the skill check. Morale falls by 1.
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.

BSG (Starbuck)
Well, given that we all just voted to tank a similar check, I suppose it was the right choice. I'm hoping you buried an attack card.
SKYRIM
Question for those who play Skyrim. Was having a geek-out moment with one of my students the other day (It spanned from LoTR, Dr Who, Firefly, and more) and she was amazed I hadn't heard of or played Skyrim. Has anyone played it? Is it a "button masher"? I ask, as it seems there are no demo's for it on Xbox Live, and I really don't want to plunk down money on game types I know I have no chance of playing well.
BSG (Doc)
Hey, Starbuck, would visiting Cally be a good idea?
BSG (Roslin)
Well, given that we all just voted to tank a similar check, I suppose it was the right choice. I'm hoping you buried an attack card.
As a matter of fact...I am not allowed to say, sadly. But, yeah, the choice was a no-brainer.
Skyrim
funny you should ask as I have posted a couple times about my love of Skyrim in this very thread. It is a fantasy RPG with a central plot and many side missions similar to Red Dead Redemption. You choose your race, gender, and appearance at game start and then build your character based on choices you make in the game as you level up. If you'd like to see some of the whacky things you can do on the PC version, Mr. Rhexx has some amazing, funny, and sometimes disturbing videos on youtube. For a gentler tour of the game Felicia Day has a video called (if I recall correctly) My Vast Tracts of Skyrim Landz.
