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.

Sorry, folks. Long day at work followed by very messy toddler at dinner.

BSG

This may be the dumb thing to do, but since people don't seem to be sure about us passing this check and I don't want to brig someone if we don't have to, I'll choose the discard. I discard G1, G1, P1, P1, R1. (At least I had a bunch of low-value cards.)

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

BSG

Helo discards a bunch of drek. Next, raiders activate, and move from Sector 2 to Sector 3. Finally, there's a jump prep icon, so the jump track advances one space (to 1).

That concludes Helo's turn. President Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Somebody needs to get to Communications and move Civie C away from those Raiders before they activate. Unless someone wants to XO Apollo and he's got a Max Firepower up his sleeve.

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

BSG

That civvy ship might be a decoy. I'm away from the computer that has the rules on it right now but I know there's a way to check.

Also Communications. It lets you check the contents of up to two civvies and move them each one space.

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

BSG

um guys. Raiders. Civvies. Same sector. Zarek, do you have an XO? Two shots from weapons might bring down 2/3rds of those raiders.

Eta: ya, moving it might be a better idea.

Anything for a weird life.

Thank you all for not choosing the brigging. Mechanically, I don't care either way, as I'm not in the game, but having watched the last two games that unfolded on these here boards, I've had enough brigging to last approximately 2.31 lifetimes.

I wish I didn't know I'm going to end up in the Brig during the sleeper phase no matter what. I hope by then my actions have proven my humanity to the rest of team human and I don't stay in there long.

ya, but your powers to look at the deck is PIVOTAL! When I played Boomer, I avoided I forget how many crisis! bt and I were amazed. I almost took Boomer again, because I loved that ability. But thought it best to try a different character.
