Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Just don't XO me, I got nothing. Seriously. I got NOTHING!

Man of all titles, assuming you get an XO from Cally, would won from me do anything productive (assuming I might actually get an XO card?)

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

BSG (Cally)

might as well get in position. I discard CP-1 to move to Main Batteries then play xo-1 on the DocPradConArbiter

Presidential Office ACTIVATE

Form of...

No, that's something else. I will pause and see what Quorum card I draw before doing the next thing.

Hey Doc. Did you see my question up there?

Sorry, Starbuck. I don't know yet, lets see how this turn goes...of course, I can always use an XO to get you more cards if there's nothing more pressing to be done.

Now if someone were to visit the Armoury, would she have to visit both NPCs or could she pick one?

Hey Omnis, how's Skyrim ? What platform are you playing on? What sort of character are you building? Do you have any of the DLC? Want hints?

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

BSG

Cottle works the Quorum! Yeah, work it baby. You know, in the game Agricola, you run a farm. You can have kids (it's an action!) and thensend them out to work. Biyi and I always used to send the toddlers out hunting wild boar. "You work, baby!"

Anyway, a Quorum card has been sent. Cottle may now draw another Quorum card, or play one from his hand. Pradmitrator Cottle, when you're ready, please post your orders.

You would get to pick one. You can only encounter one NPC per turn, and where there's more than one available, it's player choice. (Both Armoury fools had trauma placed randomly, so there are no clues as to the impact of visiting them.)

Only played that first night (Monday?? this week has been a blur).

Xbox 360.

I think I did a wood elf, female. So far, have gotten (spoiler font in case folks haven't played) the bear claw thingy for the general store guy, and the dragonstone for the wizard dude in the castle of the guy who wants to stay out of the fight. Then, when delivering the dragonstone, they recruited me to fight a dragon that was attacking a tower. I shot the damn thing down, but then fell off the top of the tower, looking over to see if it was alive. At that time, it was 2am, and I had to be at work in the morning, so I took that as a sign to stop.

No clue what the DLC is, so guessing I don't have any.

Always happy to learn hints. I like playing the games, but not the best at doing it. So any hints will be welcome.
