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

If you want to get easy achievement point things in Xbox. Apparently Madden 2006 (with McNabb on the cover) is real easy to get all but two of the achievements. I'm a button masher when it comes to video games, and not very knowledgeable when it comes to football, and yet, in 2 times of playing, I got all but "win the super bowl" and "play 30 years of franchise".

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

Adama has submitted his orders:

Move to join Boomer in Weapons Control

Action: fire at the basestar

Adama passes on interrupts; no one else can play one, so let's roll.

Result: 2. Miss.

As Baltar is still in the Brig, he does not draw a Crisis Card. This concludes his turn.

Apollo has left me COs for his turn:

Draw 2 Politics cards
Stay on Caprica; draw 2 Crisis Cards and resolve one.

Apollo, I am sending you your card draw and choice of Crisis Card. When you are ready, please post your choice.

They shot at MOM? Well, pseudo-mom?

See that little ship over there? The Olympic Carrier?

Do something with it.

I choose "The Olympic Carrier" as my crisis card.

Billytea, make it so!

Apollo 13 has chosen:

The Olympic Carrier
Skill Check (11 YGR)

I wish to remind you all: if this check fails, the Cylons win the game.

First, I will call for interrupts, Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research. Dr Baltar, you are the only player able to play any interrupts. Please post whether you pass or play.

Administrative note: Apollo 13 discarded the Crisis Card Terrorist Bomber.

Terrorist Bombers are so last season.

The Olympic Carrier turned up in the first episode of Season 1. I doubt it can claim to be the cutting-edge option here.
