Have you considered Research Lab?
BSG (Admiral Tigh)
Jump Track: 3 (Blue)
And what are the possible consequences for jumping now?

And what are the possible consequences for jumping now?
Victory, would be the primary consequence, I should think.
BSG (Admiral Tigh)
Well yes. Would the population hit cause defeat?
If not, I say PUSH THE BUTTON.
BSG (Admiral Tigh)
Mr President? Have you made a decision?
Amazon FireTV
So the last several days I've been playing games on my FireTV. I'm rather surprised how much fun that little box is! Amazon had a sale on some games, that look to have been out awhile, but new to me. The Bards Tale and Table Top Racing. Both, rather fun. And Amazon made money on the deal in the long run, since I purchased their controller. It might not be the high graphics of an xbox, but, it's still a lot of fun, and certainly wasted more hours than I'd care to admit. Not as sophisticated as a Wii. But a better than playing on the iPad. Not sure if you can do 2 player games on it. I would think, on a business trip, or family vacation, it would be real easy to pack the little hockey pucked unit and controller, and connect to any TV. Not sure if you need internet to play the games.
If not for the Flex Alert today, I'd continue with my Bards Tale quest. Ive just left the second tower, for those who have played it. Instead, off to the cheap-o movie theater, and finally catch the Avengers.
BSG
I have now heard from the President. Let's end the suspense.
Move: FTL Control (discard Trust Instincts 0)
Action: Push the Button
Helo plays a
Strategic Planning 4
on the die roll:
Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Fail!
Population falls by 3!
But that still leaves 2 in the tank. So to speak.
That's the end of the game. Did the humans make it? Well, all resources are still positive; but let's check for any unresolved Personal Goals. And we do have one. Your own President, it turns out, is
Selfish.
Fuel drops by 1! So, at game end, resources are:
Fuel:
1
Food:
4
Morale:
3
Population:
2
HUMANS WIN!
