You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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

BSG

It did. A total of six cards were played - three by the human players, one by Roslin, and two from the Destiny Deck.

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

they seem to have gotten a perk that hugely increases their HP, called Immortal. they also have next to no other stats, and even then you might very well have lost if he'd started pulling weapons earlier in the match.
Heh. Guess there can be only one, and my gal is IT! I killed that immortal! (Thankfully, he didn't use any of the heavy weapons, or it would have been lights out). Ya, I couldn't help but notice all other stats were lacking. But I felt brave with 'Fred, so I went for it.

Weapons Control is now repaired. Dr Baltar, apparently the Admiral is a bit pissed off that you're not helping with the repairs. Boomer's Crisis Card is:

Requested Resignation
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Valerii, when you're ready please post your choice.

Pradmiral Valerii sounds good to me.

Since you are cool with it, and it saves much needed cards, I'll be the Pradmiral. Option 2 please.

(I find it funny. I picked a charcter with a low chance of power. It feels like I've been Admiral a good deal of the game. Now I'm President. Crazy!)

Let's get confirmation from the incumbent first. President Baltar, this is now your choice. Do you relinquish the Presidency, or defy the Admiral?

Incidentally, for those who are interested, the order of succession for both the Admiralty and the Presidency are in the rulebook and hence publicly available. Boomer is 6th in line for the Admiralty (3rd in line in this game), and 8th in line for the Presidency (last in line in this game).

I'm sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I will gladly cede the presidency to Ms. Valerii.
