GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

"Citizens of the fleet, find safe places in your ships. The Galactica is engaging the Cylon fleet that is facing us. Don't get in the way of the soldiers, and captains - hold your positions. Do not get in the firing paths of those vipers!"

As Tigh crosses over to Weapon Control, he quietly grumbles to himself: Gods, that man loves to hear his own voice. "Do not get in the firing paths"?! If any of the captains need that advice, then the fleet's truly frakked!

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

Firing on the basestar is a die roll. It can be modified with a Strategic Planning. We'll pause for those players who've drawn Purple (Tigh, Zarek, Helo) to pass or play on interrupts.

I'll be giving it my very best with the weapons, but I can't help with a Strategic Planning.
I'll never hear the last of it if Zarek can.

If I could help, I would. Sadly, "Admiral", we rely upon your skills alone here.

Didn't I draw a purple, too? I don't remember.

Actually Sean, according to post 3833, you drew 2 purple.

Though Helo/Omnis has to declare first.

Quite right, sorry about that. You need to pass or play on interrupts too.
Though Helo/Omnis has to declare first.
Interrupts are one area where the game can really slow down, so I don't require that they happen in order. You can declare that you're playing one or passing anytime you want. (If two or more players want to play an interrupt at the same time, the current player chooses which one plays.)

Fair enough. I'm all for speeding things up.
Got an itchy trigger finger. Cylons need to go BOOM now.
