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

BSG (Baltar)

WHAT.

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

BSG (Helo)

ugh. I feel like we have to go for Option 1.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

I dunno. Option 1 has the big chance of adding more resource loss. Awesome Game Master, what's the odds that civvie ship has a resource?

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

BSG

So far two civvies have been destroyed, one of which was a decoy. The chance that any given remaining civvie is the other decoy is 1 in 10.

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

So that's a 90% chance of additional resources lost with option 1.

If you fail the die roll. So it's actually a 27/80 chance, or 9/80 with an SP.

Gotta love math.

Well, it wouldn't be a crisis card if it had good options. I suppose a 27/80th of a chance of 2nd resource is better than 100% loss of two resources.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

So there are ways to raise both food and morale. I'm worried about the civilian ship issue.

BSG (Apollo)

Hmm, Morale is higher.

I choose option 1

Morale falls to 7! And now the die roll. Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 3. Civilian ship destroyed! As it happens, there's only one ship not already on the board, so we destroy that. It contains:

0 Population

Well, there you go. You can work out what that means for all the civvies on the board.

Next, the raider activation. There are no raiders on the board, so 2 raiders launch from the basestar. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi's cards are going out. Admiral Hoshi, when you're reday, plesae post your move and action.
