Okay I see what you meant about italics for OOC now, you were referring to the "BSG" header.

Hm, what does everyone else think of that? Bold for in-character, italics for out of character. Seems tricky if you want to say things in & out in the same post. Maybe just starting in character with the character's name? Hm, don't know. Time for caffeine.

Then do whatever you want.

I find it incredibly difficult to respond to the game if I don't know when I'm dealing with a player, vs totally-not-supported-by-the-rules character chatter. If it's too difficult, then just don't do it.

I may have to stop doing anything other than email with bt anyway to progress in this game.

That would be a shame, but we all have to manage the timesuck. And of course, Zerek going quiet is a very scary proposition. What is he planning? ;)

I think I'll do In Character stuff like this -

*** Tigh ***

Get that leg sown up! I've a ship to run!

I am curious to see what the results of Apollo viewing Tigh's loyalty card would look like but we already lost one morale. How often do the players lose based on morale?

I can only help a little, but if player consensus is to fail the check I'd rather hang on to my cards.

(reading back over the posts) Oh wait, I'm Chief- it's my turn...

I play no cards.

Laga, you crack me up. Good play, save the cards. IIRC, we did ok on morale last time. It was fuel and population that came down to the wire.

Pete, I like the *** player *** thing. It's a little more noticeable than just italics.

We start with 8 Fuel, 8 Food, 10 Morale & 12 Population. While dropping Morale to 8 may not seem grave I suspect if it starts higher that means there's more cards that can effect it. We are going to have to be cautious. It's our current weak point.

Tigh isn't afraid of a Cyclon Screening. Frak card play, I have now decided to play no cards. And frankly any cards I throw in are going to be wasted, I can see where this is going.
