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.

Chief Tyrol, you have received an XO. When you're ready, please post either your move and action, or your two actions.

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

BSG

Nope. Zarek has his hand hovering over the "BZZT! New President!" button at all times, so he'll hang out in Administration. I should have explicitly said so, though - I'll be clearer when Zarek's playing big-spider-in-his-web again.

BSG

Very cool. Given that Laga can do 2 actions, can both of them be to use Weapons Control, or are locations limited to one use per turn?

BSG

I can't find any rule restricting locations to one-use-per-player-turn - but I'll definitely defer to the much more experienced -bt
