Oh Starbuck, why have you abandoned us in our (current) hour of need?

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

Where is Starbuck??

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

Hey guys, we only started the check 10 hours ago. I do always like getting COs to speed things up, but Starbuck isn't late checking in yet.

Having email issues, plus ridiculously busy today.. I did mention before the game started that the next two weeks are going to be very busy for me.

I play one card. (BT, I can't email you right now for some reason. You know which one it is, just play it for me.)

My previous comment was about the character, not the player. I'm sorry if it seemed aimed in any way at *you*, Sean.

BSG

Everything has a price, especially life. And apparently, I have to make the military decisions, while the "Pradmiral" and his friends just shout bad words at the toasters.

"Chief Tyrol, this is Tom Zarek. I know you work for the President/Admiral, and that I'm no longer...well, anyone of importance. But you must believe me when I say nothing is as important as destroying that basestar. FIRE AT IT!"

BSG

I play an Executive Order (1G) on the Chief.

Oh, Mr Zarek, did you want to move anywhere?
