move out and draw fire

We got ours from ellusionist.com

We also got the Black Alchemy deck from Vampire.co.uk [link] although this one we use for initiative draws in PnP RPGs.

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

Results of the attempt to debrig Boomer:

Yellow 5
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 3
Purple 5
Green 2
Green 3
Green 4
Blue 4

Tally = 16 - 13 = 3. Fail.

Boomer, you're still in the Brig, and you have a second action. Try again, or a different action?

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

That's what I was thinking.

What else do you have to do?

If this is a serious question, the answer's along these lines:

1. Bleed the Cylons of cards. You pull 14 cards per cycle, they pull 7. With XOs you can make five attempts per cycle. You're not likely to get out while Roslin's sitting on 8 or 9 cards. You might get out when she's down to 2 or 3. (This time, they put in four cards stopping you, you put in three.)

2. Use the fact that they won't play last. If they go in hard, you save your cards. If they hold back, go for it.

3. Pray for a favourable Destiny Deck.

4. As the above points might make clear, don't necessarily expect to get out on the first go. It may take a few attempts.

This repetitious behavior sounds a LOT like Us, Boomer.

look for the repetitious behavior to you that I did to your intellectually challenged boarding friend.

Centurions. Pfagh. Expecting them to take over a battlestar would be equivalent to you expecting an ape to take over a basestar. Blah blah blah.

Are you out yet? No?
