You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I totally understand if you feel the need to wait but I think you're interpreting Laga's response wrong.
No, the point is, I'm not interpreting it. I'm asking Chief Tyrol to do that. I've watched a number of these forum games. Mostly, when someone's intent seems clear, it's exactly that. But not always. His intent may seem clear, but if it's not explicit, it's not my place to take it out of his hands. So, yes, if I see the possibility of ambiguity, I'll ask for confirmation.
Bear a couple of things in mind. First, it's a team game. A player can toss up a suggested action looking for discussion. Second, there are two teams. Deception is supposed to be part of the game. As moderator, the most impartial way I can deal with statements that admit of more than one interpretation is to act only on explicit orders.
To make things explicit and avoid hold-ups, I recommend a convention of putting actual orders in bold, e.g.:
Move: to the rhythm
Action: wave my hands in the air like I just don't care.
Crisis Card: the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire (Admiral's Choice).
You can also submit COs to me by email if there's any uncertainties involved. For instance, in this situation, there could be something like: "If I can shoot at the basestar twice, I'll do that. If not, my second action will be Consolidate Power."

Yeah, I see the importance of not interpreting. I'm fine with that.

Peevey, you've been threatening doom for as long as I've known you. There's no actual doom coming, is there? Don't lie.

You know, if Tigh ever decides to try and brig you, the DC for the check is 1.

Sorry about that. D was on the computer when I got home last night and I was just as happy to hit the sack. I am indeed going to fire on the base star again.
then I will wave my arms in the air like I just don't care.
