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

BSG

I have passes on interrupts from everyone. Let's get right into it. Apollo starts the check, and I have COs from him too; Tigh will finish up.

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: no cards
Chief:
Zarek:
Helo:
Starbuck:
Tigh:

Chief, you're up next. I'll take COs from anyone before their turn too.

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

BSG

Looking at conditional orders Humans, should I *not* pass this check, should be second action be to re-initiate, thus depleting extra cards? I, being a good libra, am on the fence. I need to get out, but we also need to get us humans OUT of here.

BT, I defer to the HUMANS judgment on this, as I will be quite busy all day. If it goes to a 2nd round, the e-mail I sent will be the same for the 2nd round

I can help a little in the debrigging endeavor.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

Get out of there. We need all available humans out of the brig, GETTING CRISIS CARDS SO WE CAN KEEP MOVING. Time is on THEIR side; delays mean they can spike the population or fuel, and win. We need to JUMP FAST AND OFTEN.

(ahem)

I have no cards, I can't help THAT way. The Goon Squad and it's army of pipe wrenches IS available, however. That includes bending the bars (or chrome heads) to keep them inside, too.

BSG

In not-game-related news, but still topical, I present Col. Saul "Motherfrakking" Tigh

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

BSG

My apologies, that concludes Admiral Kara "No-Nukes" Thrace's turn.

Yeah, but I got to blow shit up with one of them. That was frakkin' awesome.

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

BSG

Helo, we go for it now to get you out. Doing it a second time is a complete waste of cards.

Zarek, so you've made the escape easier? That's by 2, right?

Edit: At least the Cylons can only play one card each.


Laga - Oct 15, 2009 11:52:39 am PDT #4582 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

I play 1 card.

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

BSG

The fix is in. I have COs from everyone.

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

Result:

Yellow 2
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 2
Purple 3
Green 3
Red 1

Tally: 10 - 4 = 6. With Zarek's Friends in Low Places, Helo is free! He has left COs to move to Communications.

Action 2: look at civilian ships B and C, move them further away from the raiders. Helo, I'm sending you details of the two ships.

That concludes President Tigh's turn. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. (Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green as part of his card draw.) When you're ready, please post your action.

Wow. I totally missed that Communications allows you to move civvie ships. That rocks!

Hopefully Omnis feels like sharing the details of the ships.

And now, get ready for a double feature of Cylon escape attempts...

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

Chief, if I were to XO you, would you be willing to Reveal, I mean repair vipers, so that on your own turn (coming up immediately after mine) you could do nasty Cylon stuff, I mean repair more vipers?

ETA: You could even try to escape as your first action, and if that fails, um, repair vipers, with your second.
