oh gods I hope we're not as frakked as I feel
BSG
bt, insent with card choices.
Doctor! Keep it together. It could have been worse. Thankfully I jumped us out of cylon infested space before Deuce there finally confessed its status. I think had it been done earlier, we would have activated all those birds, and a fragfest would have ensued. Let's keep a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. With that, we will get POSITIVE RESULTS!
MOVEMENT:
I move to armory. Now that we have an announced Cylon, I think he can activate that short-bus riding toaster. I wanna smoke it before he can do any damage to us.
ACTION:
Roll game master. Give me a nice 7 or 8 to fry that toaster!
(I'd try to get one of you out of the brig. Alas. I have no cards to do it).
BSG
Boomer has discarded: R1 R1 R2 R2 B1. She has drawn a Purple card. Shooting at the Centurion is a die roll, and therefore may be modified by a Strategic Planning. We'll pause for interrupts.
This-unit is uninterested in the fate of those-units. Too busy loading DLC into the karaoke-player. (No interrupts.)
BSG
Ok, no interrupts. Time for the die roll.
Roll = 7.
Hit! Slacker Grandpa Centurion bites the dust, having gone nowhere for 19 turns. Bah. From now on I'm powering my Centurions with Duracell batteries. You Have Been Warned.
Hey, look at that! We've reached a player who isn't in the Brig! Guess we should draw a Crisis Card. And it's pretty appropriate coming right after the first reveal.
Informing the Public
Current player's choice
Boomer, when you're ready please post your choice.
BSG
I can help pass the check, if that's how you decide to go.

And now I have to go find my husband and tell him the jig is up, the lying liar.

Hee. Let us know how that turns out.
I introduced more folks to BSG yesterday; humans lost before we'd even gotten to the halfway point. The cylon hardly did anything; just screwed with a couple skill checks and never threw SPs in to help with rolls...we just had really bad luck with combat.
After that we played Cleopatra and the Society of Architects, which I still dislike but which the host did like, so there's that.
