Very nice!

I was all set to get an analemma tattoo until a friend asked "Anal Emma?"

Awesome!

...well, mostly...until I realized that Gary took the symbol from someone else's tattoo. So I've (inadvertently, of course) committed almost the worst faux pas of tattooing - I've copied someone else's tattoo. Bah.

I still love it. And the album it came from.

Now: more BSG! *claps hands extremely imperiously, then awaits the bitchslap of patience*

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

Just in case I wasn't the only one confused: GM pointed out that "Declare Emergency" only works on skill checks, not die rolls.

Yeah, we had that discussion too. In my defence, I was attempting to read the card text off a low-pixel .jpg of the full set of cards on a Portuguese website.

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

Oh come on, SH, you know you want a Twilight tattoo: [link]
um. ah. They do know the forever-ness of tattoos? Right? Oh god. And this is why teenagers should NOT be allowed to get tattoos.

That's just what I was thinking. I'm so glad my "I am such a hardcore punk I cut myself" scars from the 80s are barely noticeable.

Plus, some of those looked pretty expensive. And while I actually do like the book covers, I think about, oh, getting a tattoo of a Piers Anthony cover or whatever I was reading at that age and shudder.

(OK, it would've been art from the red or blue D&D)

(but that just makes my point)

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

I'm awake now, and will note first that you have full freedom to do with an XO whatever you deem best. While I can work out what you're doing here, to avoid confusion it would be best that you announce your Move and Action, rather than just stating that you play an interrupt. (Plays of interrupts are public too, so you should state its value - in this case, Boomer plays a Purple 3.)

Anyway. Let's see whether the gods have heard your pleas.

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Lose 1 Population.

The gods have heard your pleas! They've taped them and play them for big laughs at all their god parties. Admiral Valerii, I am sending you a choice of two destinations. Please advise which one you choose for the Fleet.

That will conclude Staff Sgt Adama's turn. President Roslin, I'm sending you your cards. Once the Admiral has posted the Fleet's new destination, and when you're ready, please post your action.
