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

I've played the demo a couple times on the xbox. It's pretty good.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was just peeking at the cast list on imdb. I had no idea Blue Beetle was going to be in this.

Are you aware that Laga is referring to the new Batman game that came out today?
I just played a couple of hours of it. It rocks.

Yeah, realisation dawns slowly on this side of the world. Explains why it's in the Gaming thread, at least.

I play one card. I sent an email to BT about this yesterday. I am stating this here so everyone else know I'm not slacking. If BT doesn't get *this* email, I'll post which card later tonight or tomorrow.
SHEESH!

1 card
Baltar:
1 card
Apollo:
no cards
Boomer:

Adama:
5 cards
Eight cards from Team human, only one from Team Cylon. But it's still a tough check and Destiny could go either way. Does it pass? Let's find out:

Administrative note: the skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one. This in turn exhausted the Politics deck; I've reshuffled the discards.
Roslinbot's turn. She has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue, and take the following action:
Move to Caprica
Draw two Crisis Cards; play one.
Roslinbot, I am sending you your card draw and choice of Crisis Cards. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Roslinbot's choice is:
Cylon Tracking Device
Skill Check (10 PRB)
We will pause for interrupts. As Blue is already positive, the only relevant interrupts is an Investigative Committee, and thus we only need Dr Baltar to pass or play.
The discarded Crisis Card was:
Water Shortage - E
