Y'all have selected to let the Gods pick your pockets. Well, Boomer has made the choice for you. Here is what was plucked from your hands:

Boomer *RED 2**

Zarek Green 2

Helo Green 1

Admiral Green 2

Chief Blue 1

Apollo Red 1

Wow, the Gods must think "Oh, they live in space, let's not tease them with greenery. Let's strip them of green so they don't think about fresh vegetables, a day in the park, or mowing the lawn."

That ends Boomer's turn. Being the sneaky type, she's peeking at the next crisis card. An e-mail has been sent to Boomer, let's see if she keeps it or buries it.

ETA: Sorry folks, Made an error tracking that BT caught. His card is updated above.

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

BSG

Wow, a total cost of just 8 (edit: 9). We got off very lightly.

I have completed my Recon mission, and I choose to leave the card on top.

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

BSG

Oh Boomer I'm so sorry, I can't give you the xo you were promised.

edit, oh wait- I draw cards at the beginning of my turn? Sorry I'm so rusty.

It's cool; you're about to draw two more Green, the odds are pretty good you'll draw another one anyway. If not, then you can just activate your office or something and hopefully I can swing an XO down the track.

I think our GM might have gone to bed. I will try to take my turn tomorrow but it is moving day so I can't promise anything.

Of course going to bed is a perfectly reasonable thing to do at 1am. I would do that too if I wasn't still packing.

If you have a fair idea what you want to do, you could send him COs (e.g. "If I get a CO I do X, if not I do Y"). Then you don't need to worry so much about the game tomorrow.

This game seems incredibly complicated! But as I'm not playing I suppose it doesn't matter that I can't figure out what the heck you all are doing or how you are playing. Haha.
