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

BSG

What, you couldn't hear that?

Um. By which I mean, quite right. See? Human after all.

Sorry guys, I tend to check online during the day and y'all are clearly an evening crowd. I'll get on board as best I can.

I'm putting in all the cards I've got: Purple 1 and Purple 3.

(Tigh'd just drink away the last card if I only put in 1 anyway. Mmm, fermented skill cards...)

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

Thanks DQ. No problem. The goal is within 24 hours. Sooner means faster game play, but we know, we can't live on the board 24/7. Although CO's are always welcomed!

With that, an update total

Chief indicated the only thing he could contribute was the open face sandwich part of lunch. For the next course, we look to Apollo.

Mr. CAG? Sounds like he's humming something from Peter Pan, he keeps repeating the line "2nd star to the right, and straight on until morning". I think that boy listens to show tunes way too much. Frakkin joyriders. There is a battle going on out there!

Congratulations nuggets. You just passed your first Crisis Card. How does it feel? Wanna hit the showers? Well, you can't. You got some flying toasters! As much as you wish it was a screen saver for the DRADIS, it's not. Those blips are bad guys. And oh look, that mother ship has given birth to the cutest little Heavy Raider. Boy it's a chubby baby. Looks nothing like the mother. Judging by the boxiness of it, I'm guessing it's the milkman's kid. And for passing the check, the card says you get NOTHING. Bwahahaha! Love it. Like Christmas opening an empty box. But if you don't get your pockets picked, I guess you get the gift of not losing anything, right. Except all those pretty cards. Can't help but look at the card collections and see some empty hands. Should make the next check fun!

So, we add a heavy raider into Sector 1. We advance the Jump Track one step. And that's about it.

Ok, our first skill check went well, good job. We are very short on cards, though. I will reiterate my offer to work the Press Room should the Admiral see clear to give me an XO.

Crisis Card round 1.3 Helo

Cylons Attack! Activation: Basestar!
Random die roll is a 4.
When a Basestar fires on Galactica, 4-8 = damaged!
Random pick, and we have a damaged Admirals Quarters!
Jump track: NO ADVANCE
Massive Deployment: Keep this card in play until the fleet jumps.

eta: Fix the fact that the GM was drinking with the Admiral, and forgot when Basestars activate, they fire on Galactica.
