What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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

Your President has chosen the crisis:

Resistance
Skill Check 12 YGP

We shall, as ever, pause for interrupts (IC and SR). You can send me COs for the check itself too if you wish.

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

BSG

Baltar shall not interrupt. And I can help (surprise surprise) a little.

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

Boomer has no interupts, and can help a little.

Peeeeeeeeev just hit level 12 and got a strength boost. Like he needed it.

He managed to finish off a brute backed up by a bear with just a little knife. Good times.

move out and draw fire

a bear with just a little knife

Wait, they are giving the animals weapons now?

I also have Darth Nane, Darth Nocuous, and DePunch Mode. Sarcastica is the one to fight if you want to win...she'll just sit there with her daisy and her "Peace Out" sign singing Kumbaya.

I just discovered this:

And now we hear of the upcoming release of The BoardGameGeek Game. Being published by R&D Games, and designed by Richard Breese, the game sees you play as games publishers and gamers in a quest to attain GeekGold (the BoardGameGeek currency, don’tcha know).

And if you are interested, I saw this on DowntimeTown ( [link] ), which, despite the porkpie on the meeple, is not written by Yahtzee, but still funny.

Sorry, I didn't get the crisis card. What are the outcomes for success or failure? I'm not going to play an interrupt, and I can only help a little.

My fault; I managed to miss the 'Reply All' button, and sent it only to myself. I've sent it again.

I can never remember how many e's. I don't try. But since you volunteered for a kicking: [link]

And a kicking it was. And a stomping. And there was some whimpering in there as well, when all was said and done. So, if you don't want my brute to bleed all over you again; if you don't want to have to clean my brute's blubbery snot off your knife, knee, fist, elbow, dog, etc., you best leave us viper pilots alone. Yeah.

I now have interrupts from everyone but the President; once we hear from her, we shall start the check. The order will be:

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar:
Apollo:
Boomer:
Adama:
Roslin:

A reminder, you can send me COs if you know what you want to play. If you'd rather wait to see what other people play (or just if there'll be an IC), that's fine too.

Madam President. As I am currently recuperating in the sickbay, and will only draw one card next round, I need to ask whether you want my meager assistance or not, based on your assessment of our chances to pass. If you think we'll pass without it, I will conserve it for later. If, however, you think we are going to need it, or if you are as concerned as I am about losing another fuel during a crisis, I will contribute. I am concerned, however, that I have only four cards to assist us through 8 more crises, so I want to spend judiciously.
