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

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

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.

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

move out and draw fire

BSG

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.

That would not be a legal move. Per the XO text, only one XO may be played per turn, so you can't just chain them together.

Boomer, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Consider it done. There is now a wall of redshirts standing three-deep between the raiders and the civvies. Oh, by the way: Staff Sgt Adama, could you confirm the value of the XO you played on Boomer? Thanks. And Boomer, could you confirm what you want to do with the results of your Recon? Thanks again.

That concludes Adama's turn. Staff Sgt Adama, your hand contains 13 cards (after your XO of Boomer). You will need to discard 3 cards to get back to your hand limit of ten.

President Roslin, I am sending you your card draw. When you are ready, please post your move and action.
