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

Wow, that would take some doing. I'd be interested in seeing how that would work. (as long as I'm a Cylon, of course!)

I can get there in three turns, with the right cards.

Turn 1: Ambush. Basestar activates, damages Galactica.
Turn 2: Heavy Assault. Basestars attack Galactica - 3 damage total.
Turn 3: Fulfiller of Prophecy. Basestars activate - up to 5 damage. The current player choose the OR option, which sees this Crisis Card discarded after the activation, and a new one drawn.
Turn 3a: Reqeusted Resignation. Basesetars activate again, bringing Galactica up to 6 damage - Galactica destroyed!

Wow, Boomer, you seemed just a little too excited about that.

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

I agree, a little excited. But with only three steps, shouldn't there be some mention of Kevin Bacon or something?

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

Honored members of the quorum, I appreciate your promise of future support. What else can you do for me?

(I elect to draw another quorum card)

That is the Presidents Move & Action. That leaves the Crisis Card Boomer has left for y'all. It's as follows:

Hangar Accident

Details to be e-mailed.

Oops. In classic "Newbie" fashion, I've made a mistake in the e-mail. There will be heavy raider added to the board in Sector 1, thanks to the lovely mother ship there.

Which means, ND, we kinda played the game wrong the other week. Oops.

Thanks bt for pointing out that rule.

I can help a little.

First orders are for interrupts. Blue is already positive, so we only need to pass or play on ICs. And by 'we' I mean Zarek and Chief, as the only players to have drawn Yellow to date. Chief, you mentioned you had an IC. This is a fairly tough check, with difficult colours. I'm in favour of you playing your IC now, if you're so inclined. (I pass on interrupts, of course.)

(If anyone has a DE and is willing to play it if we reach 8 or 9, you can send COs to omnis.)

This could be sabotage! I demand an investigation.

Hmmm, I didn't think it was that difficult, but I'm not obsessively tracking what colors people have.
