Welcome, DQ. Like I said, it'll be good to game with you again. (DQ and I used play on the White Wolf RP chats back in the ancients days of the mid-to-late 90's.)

I thought I posted, but I do not see it here. Hm.

Anyway, hi all and thanks!

Billytea: email sent.

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

President Zarek is all set up and ready to go. Back to the action. A reminder, we're in the middle of a Crisis Card:

Water Shortage - C
President's Choice

President Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice. Meanwhile, feel free to discuss the options among yourselves.

Our wings are not tired

I almost feel like we should be having a "Previously on BSG..." after the midseason break.

Okay, my first act as President... erm, you know what I mean...

I'm going to go with the -1 food. Apollo doesn't have that many cards, looks like, and I reckon he'll want to hold on to what piloting cards he has to fight off those raiders all over the place.

At some point we're going to get crisis that hits another resource. Hopefully.

I agree that the food hit is a better choice, if only for the fact Apollo has to discard randomly, so he can't just dump his weak cards.

President Zarek (now under new management!) has chosen the food loss. Food drops to 6.

Cylon activation: the two basestars fire on Galactica.

Basestar 1: 7. Hit! FTL Control damaged.
Basestar 2: 8. Hit! Armoury damaged.

No one was in either of those locations, so no one is sent to Sickbay.

Finally, the jump prep marker advances by 1. That concludes Apollo's turn. Helo starts his turn in Sickbay, and his draw is therefore limited to 1 card. He has opted to draw Green. Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, plesae post your move and action.

So FTL is down. So much for my grand plan of jumping us the frak out of here and using my re-roll ability to reduce the risk of losing population.

Those Basestars are tearing us apart. I move to Weapons Control and play a G1 XO on Adama.

"I respectfully suggest we nuke those tin-plated frakkers in Sector 3, sir. Maybe follow up by ordering that nugget in Sector 5 to take a couple potshots at that heavy raider since we're not in any condition to repel boarders at the moment."

I've got a SP, though would prefer if someone with more cards than I do played one instead. If no one else steps up, I'll play it for the nuke roll and I'll use my re-roll ability for any result less than destroying the basestar and the 3 raiders in the sector. (Since with an SP we're garaunteed to destroy it with a nuke.)
