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

BSG

Everyone's play is in:

Network Computers: 11 YPB

Destiny: 2 cards
Hoshi: 1 card
Helo: 0 cards
Apollo: 3 cards
Baltar: 2 cards

Cards played:

Support the People 1
Consolidate Power 2
Guts and Initiative 1
Unorthodox Plan 3
Repair 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
Executive Order 2

Tally: 13 - 2 = 11. Exact pass! The jump track advances by 1!

In other business, the raiders get a move on, and the Bistromatic is directly threatened. Finally, the jump track advances a second time. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi's cards are going out. Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

MOVE: none.

In other news, this afternoon I'm off for three nights at Phillip Island. I'm not sure about what my internet connectivity will be like, so the game may slow down over that period. (Though, being over Christmas, that may work out for some of you anyway.)

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

BSG (Baltar)

Wowsers, exact pass! Nice job, us!

I fire on the basestar again.

Pass on interrupts.

Everyone passes on interrupts. Baltar takes aim, and today I have a guest die roller. Ryan shakes the die:

Die roll: 5. Hit!

My son: totally not a Cylon. And the damage is: Structural Damage! Any further attacks on the basestar are at +2 to hit. Speaking of which, Baltar has another action. Mr Nice Gaius, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Ryan's eating, so I'll do this roll:

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Basestar destroyed! Just as well it had structural damage.

Since I'm off shortly, here's a palate cleanser of a crisis card. It is:

Water Shortage (A)
President's Choice

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

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

BSG (Helo)

Well done, Ryan.

Ouch another hit to food. Is it worth it to save five cards?

BSG (Hoshi)

This early in the game, cards are precious. Without them, we fail checks. I am partial to option 1. But not strongly. Both suck.
