You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I sent COs last night, but I'll say it here,

I play no cards. (It is my turn to play into the crisis, yes? I sent COs...)

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

BT, am I allowed to announce my intentions, in hopes of swaying the jury?

You may indeed announce your intentions if freed from the Brig. (And the other players can decide whether they believe you.)

Baltar's turn to play.

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

BSG

When leaving the brig, I'll go to Comm, so my next turn I can move the civvies out of the way, so we do not loose anymore population. I'd love to get Toaster Deuce into the brig, but with only me out, there is no way we have enough to do a skill check on that.

Anyhow, that's what I'm thinking. Vote for me to get out! I swear, I'm not a toaster! Remember, I blew up the base ship! I helped CAG stay alive with maneuver cards. HUMAN!!!!

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

I'm sorry I was table-top gaming yesterday (for a second there I thought it was going to be my first total party kill) & feeling ill today. Don't you guys feel special this is the first thread I came to?

BSG

Baltar plays one card. (GM, my email is on the way in a moment).

I have COs from the remaining players. Plays are:

Destiny: 2 Cards
Adama: 1 card
Roslin: No cards
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card

Results:

Yellow 2
Yellow 3
Purple 2
Green 1
Green 3
Red 1
Red 2

Tally = 7 - 7 = 0. Fail.

Boomer remains in the Brig. There is therefore no Crisis Card this turn. Boomer may still exercise her Recon ability; Boomer, I'm sending you the top card of the Crisis deck. Let me know if you want to put it on the top or bottom of the deck.

Staff Sgt Adama, your turn is about to begin. I'm sending you your cards; when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative not: the check to free Boomer exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one.

I was wr-... I was wr- wr- wrooo-. Well I suppose it's still possible you're a toaster, Ms. Roslin but after Boomer you're the one I least suspect and one of us has to get out of here. Laura, if you try I will help you as much as I can.

move out and draw fire

BSG

My action is: Play an Executive Order on Boomer.

Lt. Valerii, I ORDER you to leave the brig, then proceed to Communications and get those civilians out of harm's way.

I will do my utmost to assist you in getting out; you are our best hope for survival. So say we all.

(ETA: Of course, if your first attempt to leave the brig fails, you get a second action. And hey, third time's the charm, right?)

BSG

Boomer, you have received an XO. This entitles you to a move and action, or (since you can't actually move) two actions. When you're ready, please post your first action.
