Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Edit: oh, pshaw. I mis-read my own copy of the board.

Never mind. Ignore all my advice, that was offered OOCly anyway.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

If it's not too late to consider other options, I can help a lot on the skill check.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

In MyBrute news - there's a tendency to list the pets - dog, wolf, bear - as good, better, best. I actually think that given the right circumstances the wolf is far better than the bear. Check this out from today's matches - [link]

BSG

Laga, Sean said he's going with the die roll. Don't worry, plenty more skill checks to make before Kobol!

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

BSG

Die roll it is. Helo plays a Strategic Planning-3.

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. No effect.

Cylon Activation: raiders. They fire on Apollo.

Raider 1: 2. Miss.

Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed! I have COs from Apollo: Play EM-1. The reroll is at -2.

Raider 2a: 5 - 2 = 3. Miss.

Raider 3: 3. Miss. Bah.

Jump Prep: Yes. You are now one icon away from auto-jumping.

That concludes Starbuck's turn. Pradmiral Tigh, you are starting your turn in Sickbay, which means you may draw only one skill card. Please advise whether you wish to draw Green or Purple; then, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

BSG

Okay, I took Green.

Move: I spend a Purple-2 to travel to Colonial One (Administration) where I will have a little talk with Mr. Zarek about maintaining a unified front as we continue our travels and escape the clutches of this Cylon attack.

Action: I spend a Green-1 to XO Apollo to frak those Raiders. Better safe than sorry.

BSG

Apollo, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. (Firing at a raider constitutes one action.) When you're ready, please post your orders.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

I'll fire on the raiders twice.

"Alright, frakkers. Let's see how you like it."

BSG

I have passes on interrupts. Let's roll.

Shot 1: 3. Hit!

Shot 2: 4. Hit!

Two raiders have been shot down, one remains.

Apollo amuses himself with a victory boogie. Meanwhile, the tensions on board Colonial One have gone one step further! Tigh's Crisis Card is:
