Wow, Boomer, you seemed just a little too excited about that.
Hee. Boomer is the only character who draws no Leadership. She gets no Politics either. Clearly she has zero people skills. I see something like this:
Random Journo: "We're under attack even as we speak. What is the fleet's leadership doing to protect us?"
Boomer: Dont worry about it, sillies! We can handle this. Unless lots more Cylons show up, or the Admiral's a toaster, I guess."
Other Journo: "How bad could it get?"
Boomer: "Well, um... Oh! I know! If we got just the right sequence of cards, Galactica could be destroyed in just three turns! Then they could wipe out all the civvies whenever they wanted!"
Omnes (not omnis): "..."
Boomer: "Um. I mean the wrong sequence of cards. Because that would be bad."
Omnes (not omnis): "..."
Boomer: "..Ok, press conference is over! Who here wants to play some Risk?"

Hmmm, I didn't think it was that difficult, but I'm not obsessively tracking what colors people have.
I'm pretty sure we can pass it, but it's a little on the high side for Crisis Card checks. wWthout knowing Destiny and everyone else's play, it's very likely we'll either overshoot by quite a bit, or find that we've fallen short.
BSG
do I play last into this check?
Speaking of using the board I want to play another live version of the game once I'm back in Pasadena.
OOOH! I'd like to play, provided we can start before midnight this time.

Hey can I get in on this?
Hmm, maybe I should agree to meet my college roommate down in LA later this month.
BSG
BTW, I can help a little with this check.
It's meet former roommate season for megan!
And this is actually one half of the couple that introduced me to Acquire, so hopefully she would totally understand my ditching her to go play BSG with invisible internet people.
BSG
do I play last into this check?
You do, as you're the current player. Helo will start the check.
