Without saying? Ha! I think the GM rules of the road don't allow for "without saying". But I do suggest it.

And back from the commercial break. When last we left our lost in space crew, they sent a poor unsuspecting Red Shirt Raptor pilot out to scout the next crisis. [Random re-roll = 6!!] And just when it looks like he was about to crash and burn, his helmeted head bangs into the dash board, hitting the button on the FTL to jumps back to Galactica! I hope the dashboard camera caught some good footage (and didn't get smacked with his noggin!).

Details to Helo about the top card are on the way.

I will keep the current card on top.

Funny how that works. Now we get to play it! E-mail sent with details. We will call this "The Pete Card"

Elections Loom 8 YG

Please jump in ASAP with interrupts. In the e-mail I say we have a 24 hour window. If you don't have the card, I automatically assume you won't interrupt with it. I know, it's a stretch. While we wait for the interrupts, PLEASE e-mail me CO's on which cards you want to play in the check.

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

Pass on interrupts

Please jump in ASAP with interrupts.

How was that?

Beautiful! It's almost like you know what it's like to be a GM. Have you done it before?

ETA: Ooo! Good responses. Just waiting on Zarek (limited net access, should hear tomorrow), and Kalshane.

I can't help with this check, but it's of low skill value enough that hopefully y'all will be able to pitch in.

I can help a little with this check. At this point, with the possibilty of spikeage, I don't assume anything is low enough to easily pass. Especially if we don't have an Ivestigative Committee.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Arkham Asylum was super-duper awesome. My only grief was that I have it for the PC instead of the Xbox...because I didn't have my Xbox yet when I got the game.

Arkham City will be for my Xbox.

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

Of course I can't start the election season without launching an investigation. I play a Yellow 5 to look into these accusations of ballot tampering.
