And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I fail to see what could possibly be more important in your life right now than making sure I am not bored at work. I mean, REALLY.

Jess, it looks like you got about a dozen games going right now.

Yeah, those are almost all from this morning after I activated my Premium account. I went a little overboard. (Except, not really because they're all moving reeeeeeeally slooooooooowly.)

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

oops sorry I delayed. D was playing Neverwinter Nights all night last night. I have played a card and crossed my fingers.

In case we don't make it through this- thanks for being an amazing GM, billytea.

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

BSG

You're all very kind. But I still may have to kill you. Anyway, I have orders from everyone now, so let's see what happens:

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

Cards:

Green 1
Green 4
Green 4
Purple 1
Yellow 2
Red 3

Tally: 10 - 5. Fail.

New COs kick in: Adama plays Declare Emergency (Green 3) to reduce the check difficulty by 2. Success! Pradmiral Roslin is escorted to the Brig. Roslin loses the Admiralty, but retains the Presidency. Boomer, as the only crew member roaming free on Galactica, you are Admiral once more.

That concludes Adama's turn. President Roslin, I'm sending your card draw. When you're ready, please post your action.

(Addendum: an XO offers two actions. However, Boomer unfortunately has no more actions open to her, except trying to brig herself. This is why we have not waited for the second action.)
