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.

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?

There are a couple of cards in the game that can do it (such as when Roslin played Encourage Mutiny on you). However, the standard mechanisms are:
1. Admiral - you lose the Admiral's title if you get brigged. So, if you brig Roslin, she won't be Admiral anymore (as the only player out of the Brig, you would again become Admiral).
2. President - the Administration location on Colonial One allows you to call elections and nominate any other player (including yourself) for President.
Finally, if she reveals as a Cylon, she will lose any and all titles.
Aaaand now, since you're out of the Brig, it's time for your Crisis Card. It's a repeat, I'm afraid - we must be in the off season.
