You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

Oh! I forgot that was a thing that needed to happen. Thanks for making it happen.

Er, should I fire at the basestar or try to thin out the Raider herd? There are so many Raiders I don't know where to attack, but that seems like a good thing to do. Can I hit Scar with Main Batteries? Also, does someone have a plan? That's the sector in most need of help.

I am planless, as suits my whimsical character.

Firing on the basestar seems reasonable. As does thinning out some Raiders. I guess we aren't in a good position to nuke anyone. I dunno.

Oh, I could totally nuke the basestar, unless we want to save those puppies for later. The Raiders are the more pressing issue at the moment, but hurting the basestar is always good.

Always nice to take out multiple targets with a nuke but the cylons are not co-operating with that.

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

Can I hit Scar with Main Batteries?

Yes, but the requirement remains the same. You need to roll a 7 or more to hit him. (He can then be one of the four raiders you destroy.)

Zarek has proposed firing at the basestar, some raiders and/or Scar. Any of these options involve a die roll, so anyone with an SP, please send me COs as to for which options you would play it.

I discard RT-0 to move to Main Batteries and fire on Sector 4.

Someone help me aim!!

Guess I missed a year or so, good to see you all still playing BSG. I'm currently halfway through watching through it for the first time so maybe after that I'll try joining in.

(I haven't even been supporting anyone in email! Terrible lurker. I was reminded of this place because I saw a post from Pete on reddit and my brain reconnected some cobwebby dots.)

... and so that this isn't entirely natter, any Binding of Isaac players here? Some gifs released from the new version look AMAZING, with homing finally affecting stuff like lasers and Brimstone.

Good to see you, Thomas! I haven't even heard of Binding of Isaac. Must go google.
