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

What's the point to having an open crisis check if nobody spikes the damn thing?!?

I'm pretty certain that that right there is the point of an open crisis check.

Have you not watched the series? Boomer exists for the sole purpose of spoiling sport. She's the 'spoil that' Cylon.

Huh. Really? Then why:
Boomer: No cards played

IJS! A little excitement would help jump start the game, kick it into high gear.

Oh well. Whatcha going to do? I'm just the humble GM. I'll just sit in the navigators seat and watch y'all fly the plane.

Yes! And then I could brig someone and wacky hijinks would ensue.

Ooo! Hijinks! Yes, can I get an order of Hijinks please! (and why my brain heard that in the voice of Moss from the I.T. Crowd, I have no idea)

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

BSG

with my 'friends in low places' brigging is quite simple, really. I wonder how that works. I guess I send some thugs to round the traitor up.

I play a Yellow 1.

That's a common error. Zarek can change the difficulty of elections, and getting someone out of the Brig, but has no influence on getting them in. That's Tigh's gig - he can lower the DC by 3.

oh fine.

I'm off 'till tomorrow. I'll be logging on from my Dad's house sometime after 4.

I meant that I could do it on this turn because the crisis card is my decision. But it looks like we passed the check before my turn, so it is out of my hands.

Is that right? If so, I play no cards.
