Didn't I draw a purple, too? I don't remember.
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.
Party is done. BSG is set up again. I'm ready to play
BSG
I can not inerrupt this. Maybe because I'm on FRAKKIN' CAPRICA!! Also, don't have the needed purple card.
BSG
That's long enough for interrupts. Let's roll the die.
Die roll: 1. Miss. Ah well. Time for a Crisis Card, and it looks like missing that basestar put the Admiral in a pissy mood:
Declare Martial Law
Admiral's Choice
Admiral Tigh, when you're ready please post your choice.
BSG
Well, that was a short term of office. :)
BSG
OOC: Here's hoping Tigh's not a Cylon. Otherwise things are going to go downhill real fast.
Oh well, so much for the slow uncomfortable simmer of deteriorating relations between Tigh and Zerek...
BSG
Frak me, where did all that smoke come from? Whaaat? Gunnery overheated? Did we even hit the son of a bitch? No? It was the heating coils wasn't it? Cheap crap because Zerek wouldn't get us the good ore? Okay, that's the frakking end...
"Colonial Fleet, this is Galactica Actual. The first salvo at the basestar failed due to minor but key malfunctions in the gunnery systems. Systems that required supplies that President Zerek would not ensure we received. He even suggested that we operate fewer guns! Ha! Well, enough of this BS. We either work smoothly as a consolidated unit or we die at the hands of the Cylons. As of this moment, I have declared Martial Law. The Quorum will be suspended until a time that I see fit for new elections; ones that do not include a wheeling-dealing ex-terrorist opportunist on the ballot. Galactica Out."
Tyrol, get yer ass to Weapons Control. It's worse than we thought!
BSG
Boomer? Is that you?? What the hell are you doing back on this rock?
:: pops anti radiation pill ::
BSG
On my way to Weapons Control.
BSG
I just looked at the Martial Law card. Not only is the basestar about to fire, we didn't get a jump step.
Could be a long battle. Don't worry, Pradmiral Tigh will get you through.
