I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

I believe Romo, I think. It looks like he wanted input in the form of volunteers and when none were forthcoming made the best decision he could at the time.

It does suck that it ended up costing cards, but because Hot Dog moved to draw purple and then drew again on my XO instead of launching (which I'm fine with, btw) he only ended up down a card, right?

I'm not saying it was the right call; I don't think it was. But I do think it's possible for it to have been made innocently.

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

BSG (Cally)

I assumed Cally thought Hot Dog was a Cylon, but she's not giving that as a rationale, so I don't get it.

You mean Romo, yes? I have no beef with Hot Dog, at the moment.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Cally, Romo, what's the difference, really?

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

BSG (Baltar)

One of them can shoot you in the face.

Ok, Romo, I'm not super suspicious of you, ftr. But also not suspicious of Cally. Everyone's got that nice background radiation low level suspicion going on, AFAIC.

And maybe you should have reminded us at some point that you were still in Sickbay. Not that I could have XOd you anyway, because of turn order, but sorry you got stuck.

Damn, Baltar beat me to the punchline.

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

BSG

Apologies for the delay. Hot Dog discards Protect the Fleet 0. Finally, the jump track advances. There you go, there is at least one crisis card that's worse. That concludes Baltar's turn. Romo's cards are going out. Romo Lampkin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Romo's card draw exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG (Romo Lomo Ding Dong)

Sadly I don't draw XOs. Any ideas?

BSG (still Romo)

Well I hate to waste a turn but I'm in a good spot for an xo should something need shooting at and I don't have any good action cards so I will not move and take no action.

Bring on the crisis!

BSG (Cally)

Sorry, slept in. Just getting on board here.

Options, come to research lab to get more cards, to help with checks.

Scout crisis deck, or destination deck.

Go to command and launch 2 RSV's

These make more sense than NOTHING.
