I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Omnis, I totally agree that Zarek needs to be released. Apollo has already stated his action and Tyrol really needs to go fix vipers. I can't see Zarek getting out before it's his actual turn which is a pity as it's becoming clear we will need him to be packing a full hand of cards very soon.

We have some problems ahead.

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

BT, there's usually only 1 cylon for the start of a game, right?

Usually, but there can be no Cylons, or two.

That's long enough for interrupts, everyone passes. Apollo fires at the basestar.

Die roll: 3. Miss. About time you guys missed something.

On to the Crisis Card, which is:

Bomb Threat
Current Player's Choice

Captain Apollo, when you're ready please post your choice.

Apollo fires at the basestar.

Psst, BT, you meant heavy raider.

Unless another Basestar just happens to have snuck in when no one was looking. I knew you were a Cylon.

The raiders get activation this turn. We are about to lose a lot of colonial ships.

Administrative note: the last skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one.

It would explain why he missed, though.

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

Let's go with the skill check.

Seriously? I think cards are pretty depleted and putting it to a die roll is better. YTMMV

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Let's go with the skill check.

Apollo, I'll ask for you to confirm this by putting it in bold, just to make it clear this is a decision. (Meanwhile, I'll remind everyone that they can send me COs for interrupts and plays into the check.)
