Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

The best part about that was that you took down the bear with a thrown fan! What, was a rolled up newspaper not available?

Anything for a weird life.

Ah, the roller coaster that is Brute-fighting. From today's fights, there's the comeback: [link] and the absolutely crushing defeat: [link]

That was probably the most significant comeback I've seen yet. As for the defeat, the ball & chain (or whatever it actually is) is a ridiculously brutal weapon. Same goes for the Warhammer.

One of mine got one of the larger swords, and has the master at arms power so he puts out really damn good damage. An example - [link]

And here's the mean combo of good strength, a knife, and the "Fierce Brute" power - [link]

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

I need some clarification from Staff Sgt Adama about his play. Meanwhile, I have COs from most of you, so hopefully this won't take too long from here.

Ok, I believe I can interpret Adama's orders, so here are the check results:

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: no cards
Roslin: 1 card
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: no cards
Boomer: 1 card

Cards:

Yellow 2
Purple 3
Blue 4
Green 1
Green 1

Tally: 9 - 2 = 7. Pass! Boomer, you are free. You may move to any other location. Please post where you would like to move. (Note: as you escaped on your own turn rather than through an XO, you have no further actions this turn.)

Admirals Quarters please. Speaking of which. That toaster bitch is at the bottom in line to be Admiral. How do we get that & Pres card out of it's possession?
