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

I have orders from the Admiral; he very thoughtfully plays one card as well, as a show of solidarity with his brigged colleagues. Check results:

Yellow 2
Yellow 5
Green 2
Red 2
Red 4
Blue 4

Tally: 9 - 10 = -1. Fail. Laura Roslin remains President. Apollo blames Chief Strategist for his failed 'Singing Campaign' strategy.

As a special treat, since Apollo is out of the Brig, we have a Crisis!

President's Choice

Madam President, when you're ready please make your choice.

I never really wanted it anyway. Just testing your loyalty to to that drug-addled harridan you're sharing intimate space with, y'all.

Sorry about the water shortage; Dualla insists on strawberry-scented bubblebaths 3 times a day. What can ya do?

Which reminds me how one of my friends thought this game was Clue with cylons: "Boomer, in the water tanks, with the C4"

Sounds like an entry from the Chief's diary.

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

ya, sounds pretty pervy to me. C4 makes knife play seem pretty vanilla if you ask me.

That so, 'Boomer'?

I believe that was player talk. I didn't preface with any bolded tri-letters.

Home from game night. Dominion is, indeed, a good game. ND & Pix, I think it would make an excellent addition to your collection. (others too, but I know their collection). I almost bought a copy myself, but they were wanting $40, which seemed a bit high. Plus it was cash, and that would have wiped all the cash from my pocket. So I refrained, for now.

It sells for AU$90 here. Agricola costs $140. My chosen hobby has become a lot more expensive since the dollar fell. (Conversely, D&D books haven't really increased in price at all. Go figure.)

That's not too far off the prices here. We paid US$68 for Agricola, but that was 20% internet sale price. Still, I guess it is a third again as expensive.
