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

thanks. Why does that feel like pure lemon in that frosting, squeezed into my open festering wound of feeling like a heel.

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

shit that was not my intention.

But you did frak my girlfriend. frakker.

but seriously: it's just a game. I've made plenty of mistakes myself.

ya I know it's just a game. And I know you didn't mean it like that. If you can't poke jokes at your BIG FRAKIN mistakes, when can you??

Oh, and apparently she WASN"T your g/f, but a duplicate. We shall call her Athena in a couple episodes... if the humans make it that long.

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

A reminder, BSG is a team game. I haven't noticed much discussion about what people should do, and when someone does ask, it's frequently ignored. At its most basic level, discussing what you might do with your action is a good way to avoid simple mistakes.

There I go showing my ignorance of the show again. I had no idea a Boomer was going by Athena.

Suddenly I remeber meeting the original (Maren Jensen) at a county fair when I was 10. She signed my Hooved Animal Society t-shirt. I proceeded to wear it almost daily until it was threadbare, then I put it up in a box in my closet. I have no idea where it is now.

Boomer was the gal who flew off Caprica without Helo, and then proceeded to shoot the old man. Athena was the gal who seduced Helo and had a baby. They locked her up, and used her. It took many episodes for her to prove that she wasn't siding with the cylons.

So it wasn't that she was *going* by Athena, it was more a second version that took on the name Athena.

apparently if I do decide to continue on with the show I need to start over from the beginning.

D will be home soon and wanting the computer. Apologies if Starbuck plays before I get back and y'all end up waiting for me.

I have orders from everyone. Here are the card plays:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Tigh: no cards
Apollo: 2 cards
Chief: 3 cards
Zarek: 1 card
Helo: 1 card

At this point I need to pause to confirm something with one of the players before revealing the cards. Shouldn't take long.
