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

Not sure I'd want to give up my real dice, though.

I liked the sound effect but yeah, I've got dice issues.

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

BSG

First off, my apologies in advance. My internet connection is acting up, and I may experience the odd delay in processing things. It's up for the moment, though, and here are everyone's orders:

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

Makes my life easy. Here are the cards:

Purple 2
Blue 1

Tally: 0 - 3 = -3. Fail. I have COs from Zarek: so it's come to light that President Tigh weighs the same as a duck. A bi-i-i-ig, angry duck. Better send him to Doc Cottle to get checked out.

Cylon: Heavy raiders. The heavy in Sector 1 moves to Sector 6. One more and it'll board.

Jump Prep: Yes. The fleet is now one icon away from jumping.

That concludes Mr Zarek's turn. Helo, I'm sending you your cards. I have COs from Helo, which we'll get to shortly.

I'm going to need clarification from Helo about his COs. In the meantime, his card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

I will defer to Doc Cottle's diagnosis, but personally, I've always thought of Tigh as a biiiiig angry duck anyway...

Typo. That "d" should be an "f", no?

BSG

OK team human. We got the Pradmiral out of the Brig without wasting any cards. How cool is that?!? Sure, seeing our President ill and going to the doctor effected morale. Nobody likes a sick leader.

So, we have a few options. I'd love to discuss so I don't get my head DUNKED in the brig toilet again.

  • XO for Starbuck so she gets 2 shots at that heavy raider before we get boarded. I get one re-roll if the dice are nasty. If they aren't, we might get the heavy raider and a regular one!

  • XO for Tigh so he gets his full compliment of cards. Or will Starbuck do this?

I am inclined to STAY in Communications in case we need to move ships. That way I could be XO'd and move two sets of two (I think).

Thoughts?

(yes, Sean, I know, once I XO someone, I get no say in what they do, I'm talking out options)

We're one step away from auto-jump so I think you can safely move to another location.

I also think the chances of the Heavy Raider getting an activation before we jump are slim, but they are still a possibility.

If Starbuck can XO me, then XO'ing Starbuck now seems like a good maneuver.

bt, if Starbuck responds that she can XO, then I XO her. If she responds she can't, then I XO Tigh.
