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

I can help a little (card sent) but I think we can survive losing 1 food.

I agree. I say save your card for exit plans, or for brigging the Toaster Queen.

You can. Do you have new ones?
Yes, Zero cards.

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

BSG

Yes, I deserve a rebrigging. I've been a BAD President. You should send someone to Colonial One immediately to have me arrested.

Somehow I'm starting to see a slash/fic BSG with you two in it. Together. Cylon porn.

I just won a Conquer Club game (with random strangers, no less) that went 65 rounds over two months, and until the last five rounds of the game or so, it did NOT look like I was going to be the winner. I was always hovering about 2nd or sometimes even 3rd or 4th in overall strength. Climbed back from almost certain death at least twice.

move out and draw fire

I XO Boomer.

PS: If Baltar has another XO card, maybe he can XO me on his turn, and then I can play a couple more XOs on Boomer then.
