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

BSG (Baltar)

Dun dun DUN What will he choose?

I'll just throw this out there - running a cult, not altogether different from being President. Executive experience and all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Yeah, I am so not choosing to execute myself. I choose option 2 and discard CP1, CP2, TI0, MF3

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

BSG

Not so fast, Mr President sir. Athena steps in... For Love! She draws a Treachery card to allow you discard one card fewer. When you're ready, please post your choice of four discards (or which card you retrieve or however you want to play it).

Well, who doesn't, really?

Next, the raiders activate. The raiders placed by Zarek move to Sector 4, not that it matters. What does matter is that the raiders in Sector 1 blow civvie G all up. It contained:

1 Population

The Population loss means Hot Dog's Memento ability kicks in. He draws 3 Red and must discard 1. Hot Dog, when you're ready, please post your discard.

Meanwhile, the jump track takes the last step on the track. The fleet jumps! Destinations going out to the Admiral. Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Zarek has made his choice. It is Icy Moon. Zarek has opted for the die roll to attempt to increase Food. The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 1. Fail. Oh dear. A raptor goes spinning off into the ether. But how can that compare to the excitement of... the Sleeper Phase?! Yes, new loyalty for everyone! Cards are going out now. Stay tuned!

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

BSG (Zarek)

Bah. Would have been great to raise Food twice in one turn.

BSG

Loyalty cards are on their way out, and the pressing question is: who is the Mutineer? The card gets tossed to the table by...

Hot Dog.

Yes, Hot Dog is harbouring thoughts of sedition, which means (among other things) that he draws another mutiny card. Zarek, as usual, has the choice of which card to give Hot Dog. Options are going out now.

This means that Hot Dog has two mutiny cards. As the Mutineer, he can take it! But if he draws a third card, he'll land in the Brig. He also draws another loyalty card immediately, to replace the Mutineer card. That loyalty card has been sent.

From now on, on Hot Dog's turn, if his crisis card has a jump icon then he will draw another mutiny card. If he already has two mutiny cards when this happens, he'll choose one to discard and get sent to the Brig.

Zarek, when you're ready, please let me know which mutiny card to give Hot Dog.

It's kind of fun knowing everyone's Mutiny's cards. Mwahahaha. (It's kind of awesome giving everyone the good ones.)

Got my eye on you, though, Hot Dog. If anyone's going to lead a mutiny, it's going to be me, godsdammit.
