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

Helo, when you're ready please post your choice.

Damn, this is moving fast. I should just stop any of you taking actions, think how quickly we'd get through it!

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

I'm sorry I can't help at all with the skill check.

Persistent death card? WTFrak? Hey, that shot Boomer took on the original baseship, are it's weapons non operational? Can it still launch raiders?

bt- insent with question for this check.

it works better when Pete is playing and the phrase "Blow It Up, Blow It Up, Blow It Up" comes to mind. Since. Well, if you pull a "Pete" in Burnout 2, you never quite hear that phrase. Either way, I'm chanting "Blow It Up!" to get that big mama-jo off the table!

So, when are you available to meet me on the battlegrounds of Halo? Smartass.

I have an XO. Should I play it into the check, or should I save it and use it on my turn to let Boomer shoot at the Basestars again?

depends which option of the check goes down. I would lean towards XO of Boomer. Since she is at weapons already, she gets two shots. Fire first at undamaged one, depending on what the damaged one can and can't do.

I aim to please. Does anyone wish to volunteer to be brigged should the check fail? I can only help a little with a debrigging check.

Another option is to let the check fail, it's one point less to get someone out of the brig than it is to pass this check and we don't throw any additional cards at a check we might fail.

That's an interesting tactic. If we brig someone, it has to be someone who can XO folks.

I was thinking we'd get them out of the brig on their next turn. Assuming we have the cards for that even- 'cause I don't.

It would be bad to brig a pilot. If we Brig Adama, he can't be admiral.
