Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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).

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

BSG

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.

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

BSG

I get two actions? Sweet! With my first action, I move civvie ships A & B. With my second action, I move civvie ship C. Hey, since it's only one ship, can I move it twice? And the board says something about flipping them over, so depending on what's on the backside, and if I can move one ship farthur away than the others, I might change which ship is which. All civvies move AWAY from the toaster. May the Gods protect them!!
