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

BSG

The raiders have a target! And they'll get a go at it too. Stop me if youve heard this one: actually, don'[t stop me, I'm running this thing. Kat's crisis is:

Food Shortage (D)
President's Choice

President Romo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Kat)

I can afford to lose some cards but we're also not terribly short on food.

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

BSG (Romo)

I don't have very many cards to begin with, so we'll go with Option 1.

The choice is made; Food falls by 2. Next, the raiders activate. Sector 6 is now looking pretty crowded. The raiders in Sector 3 find their way barred by a lone RSv, and open fire:

Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 7. Viper damaged!
But Kat plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 1:

Raider 3a: 2. Miss.

Finally, the jump track advances. that concludes Kat's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Kat's card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Chief's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

Um. Humans. Need advice here. We got a lot of Bogeys in the air. Here are my options.

  • Fix stuff (I'm thinking RSV's!)

Here's the bad option:

  • Currently I have (2) mutiny cards. If our crisis card has a jump icon, I get a third, which puts me in the brig. Which would mean I would have to *play* a mutiny card. And while they aren't horrible. They aren't good either (I know, shocking, given their name and all).

I'm leaning towards the bad option. But didn't want to jump into it, and y'all think "OMG Chief is a toaster! Murder/death/kill him at once!" My thought being, we don't want folks in the pokey when there is so much crap in the air.

Thoughts?

It's hard to advise without knowing what kind of damage your Mutiny cards might do. Obviously, fixing Vipers would be great right now.

I don't think there's an easy way to get myself another Miracle token, huh. Sometimes I wish I hadn't already used my OPG. I like getting people out of the Brig! And stealing their cards, that's pretty fun too. In any case, we have other debrigging options available in the worst-case scenario. In the end, it's up to you, since you know what adverse effects your Mutiny cards have.

Your Crisis might not have a Jump icon too. (Being Mutineer is tough. At least you actually remembered how it works, unlike me.)

Ha! You are too kind. No. I have a great GM who reminds me. I can't tell from the email, but I think it has maniacal laughing in the background.

Hmm. Such a debate. I wish I could share what they are. Well, Zarek knows. But. Still. Ugg. Decisions.
