I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

I always forget about interrupts.

Do we have to do them in order?

For forum games it's much quicker not to bother about order. I never worried about it in games I ran, and I think that's omnis' policy too.

Technically they are supposed to be in order, and if it actually mattered (e.g. two players didn't want to make their call until they saw what the other one did), then that's how you'd resolve it. Also, if more than one player wants to play the same interrupt, the current player (still the Chief, technically) would get to choose which one gets played.

As mentioned before. No! As bt says, we need to try and keep the game flowing as much as possible, waiting for order on this would slow it down more than is needed. And since it's difficult to get any CO's out of folks, no, we don't need to do interrupts in order.

That said, here is where we stand with CO's and announced:

Apollo scouting crisis deck interupts

Boomer: Pass
Zarek:
Helo:
Tigh:
Chief: Pass
Apollo: Pass

For those who haven't sent in anything, please announce in thread or send me CO's. Again, since we don't have to do interrupts in order, you can proclaim in thread.

I always forget about interrupts.
(yes. But you aren't the GM... :: sigh :: Sorry about that folks. I did mention it was my first time GM'ing, right?)

Huh. I thought I had posted last night that I pass on interrupts, but I guess not. Either the radiation is finally getting to me, or the cylons are messing with my mind.

I pass on interrupts.

Hey! I have a Purple 3! Let's really scout this mofo! I add two to the scouting roll.

Apollo scouting crisis deck interrupts

Boomer: Pass
Zarek: Play!
Helo: Pass
Tigh: Pass
Chief: Pass
Apollo: Pass

Woot!

The roll is a 4. No need to do the fun math from Mr. President, the roll stood up on it's own (too bad the card is still played).

The details of the crisis card have been sent to the young Mr. Adama. He has elected to bury it, opting for door #2.

That really ends Chiefs turn. Apollo already has his card draw. All that is left is for him to confer then post his move and action .

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Since they're currently no raiders in the air, I say the priority is to fire on the basestars to hopefully keep them from launching said raiders.

Once they start launching raiders, we need to get some more vipers in the air and get the civvies consolidated where the vipers can protect them. With food as low as it is we really can't afford to lose any civilian ships.

I'm confused, weren't we on Apollo's turn?
