GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Not yet. It finished the update overnight that night (after I figured out how to change the settings to not turn off for "inactivity" in the middle of the update) but we've been too busy with holiday stuff for me to find time to sit down and play.

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

Ok! We have players for the next game of Race for the Galaxy. This game will have:

Connie Neil
omnis_audis
Laga

We will play under the same rules as last game (i.e. standard rules), and include the cards from the first expansion set. I've dealt out the starting worlds, and starting hands are going out now. Time to choose your discards from your staring hand, and then your Action card for Round 1!

Just to keep everyone in the loop, we have one player in a time crunch right now. We'll get Round 1 underway when they have a bit of breathing room.

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

No problem. Thanks for the update.

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

sorry for the delay. This academic quarter has been particularly stressful/brutal. And The last week of it, I managed to catch the bug going around. Talk about a one/two punch.

Email has been submitted with my discards.

Bleah now I've caught something too. Stop breathing on the internet!

If it's what's going around our campus, you will experience about of malaise. Low grade fever. Lots of mucus. Then, it develops into a cough that lasts weeks. I've started the cough phase a couple days ago. It can shake the rafters. Hopefully, your ick is not the same.

Ok! Everyone is now on board, and we're good to go. Everyone has sent me their discards, and their Action card for Round 1, which are:

Connie Neil: Phase I (+1/+1) - Explore (draw +1 card, keep +1 card)
omnis: Phase I (+1/+1) - Explore (draw +1 card, keep +1 card)
Laga: Phase I (+5) - Explore (draw +5 cards)

The players are of one voice. Explore time! Omnis gets to see one extra card thanks to his starting card, Doomed World. Thus:

Connie looks at 3 cards and keeps 2.

omnis looks at 4 cards and keeps 2.

Laga looks at 7 cards and keeps 1.

Cards will head out shortly. Everyone, please let me know which card(s) you keep.

Everyone has sent me their discards, and their Action card for next round. Because that concludes this round. We'll do a summary, and then get into Round 2.
