Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

Two moves so far. But things are about to get interesting, as Romo is up next.

Edit: or, alternatively, 30 seconds ago. Cards are going out now. Romo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

Space looks a bit too empty. How about a Raiding Party ?

How about it indeed? The fleet has been struck by a:

Raiding Party
Cylon Attack

Your precious jump icon! The one it took you ten turns to acquire, it has been stolen from your grasp! But first, we have a raider activation. In Sector 5 there's 1 raider, 1 RSV and two civvies. In Sector 6 there's 3 raiders, 1 RSV and Kat in an assault raptor. Kat chooses the order of activation. Kat, shall we resolve Sector 5 or Sector 6 first? You can also send me COs for EMs and RIs.

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

BSG (Kat)

Ugh! Let's resolve Sector 6 first.

And by resolve, she means play Run Interference 4. All three raiders miss! Buck up, little raiders, you have reinforcements coming from Sector 1.

Then there's the lone raider in Sector 5, who fires:

Raider 1 and only: 4. Miss.

Good result for the humans, but more Cylons are on their way. We add ships to the board. This is an unusual situation, to resolve a Cylon attack card mid-turn. I shall post the current state of play in space to assist in people's plans.

Does anyone have a plan to help with my aim?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

I am plan less.

This would be much easier if you people would just die.
