What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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

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.

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

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

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.

That's why I took her over Roslin, even though I really want to stay human this whole game. I figure if I could get through an entire game with Baltar staying human- Boomer's chances are just as good.

I was amazed I stayed human with Boomer!

I was impressed that neither of you were Cylons that first game. Odds of that happening were 23%.

Boomer's Recon is pretty useful. Omnis buried four attack cards that first game (though that was exceptional). Her OPG is a good one too. She gets a pretty nasty weakness to go with it, though. Trying to get out of the Brig just when you got two more Loyalty cards can be a difficult sell.

Roslin's similar there. I think her ability is generally the better of the two, but her weakness is also a big one (and, oddly, makes her a poor President, as it's hard for her to activate the President's Office).
