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

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I have conditional orders from Baltar: Choose the Skill Check: 8 YG.

We start, once more, by asking for interrupts (twelve hours to respond). For all players (except Apollo, who's out of cards), please post whether you play or pass on Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research.

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

BSG

Yes, skill check it is.

Completely out of game....

If this BSG game turns out to be successful (and not overly annoying to other thread members), anybody want to take a crack at playing Republic of Rome online? I'll mod (which means I won't be able to play directly). Sure, nobody else has a set, but I don't think that would be too much of a problem.

Just throwing that out there. Four or five players would be ideal.

Yes! I'm having fun. I think I'd love to try something else.

I'd need to see how my study load is going, but I'd certainly be interested.

You can also send me conditional orders on what you'll play into the Skill Check. (Again, except Apollo, who's out of cards.)

Cool. There's clearly no rush, but I'll look at putting basic info together. And so far, the BSG game seems successful.

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

I'd like to remind folks what the good Aussie said:

Boomer only Purple, Red and Blue.
So it wasn't me who threw a wrench in the system last check, as I couldn't help, and played nothing. Which explains why I can only say "I can't help in the endeavor".

billytea, no interrupts from Boomer.

I can see the baseship a little from around the side of Galactica! :: pushes throttle all the way, and yet is still stuck in sector 6 ::

Thank you Boomer, that leaves only Admiral Adama for both interrupts and COs for the check itself.

move out and draw fire

BSG

Looks like Baltar's delusional intuition was on line already, in terms of moving the civilian fleet just ahead of a raider move.

I don't interrupt, and have sent conditional orders for card play. I will say that since all the checks seem to be hitting green, I can only contribute a little.
