I think we need the cards, let's get the possible toaster out of the brig.

Ahhh, this reminds me the tabletop game we played at ND's place. Me guessing who the cylons were, and nobody listening to me. Ahhh, those were the days.

So? Has Boomer made a decision? Will she stay in the Brig? It all rests in the hands of Apollo! (cue dramatic sting music - duh duh duuuuh!). Turn in tomorrow for the startling answer.

(what else am I supposed to do as GM?)

wow, talk about cross post. I double check my e-mail in case of CO's (ha, as if). OK, looks like the decision is leaning towards escape from the pokey.

Ms Boomer? what is your official MOVE and ACTION (well, no move I suppose).

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

Captain, thank you for your trust. I won't let you down.

Move: To the rhythm
Action: Activate the Brig (7YP)

Mr President, I recognise you were in favour of waiting to use the Mugshots; I do still request that you use your ability to reduce the difficulty of this check to 5. It'll help save the crew's cards.

As previously communicated to our fair GM, as much as I love and trust every last one of you, I have called for an Investigative Committee to look into the possibility of unjustified jailtime.

In other words, I play a Y3 interrupt.

(I've put a call into Laga to see if she wants to do the friends in low places thing. Left a message. Hope to hear back tonight so we can initiate this check.)

Before I forget. We used the last two cards in the Destiny Deck. So that has been restocked. During the restock process, the Piloting (Red) cards were depleted, and reshuffled.

I am holding off on announcing what the Destiny Deck has contributed until we hear back from Mr. President if he decides to do friends in low places.

We pause a momen to bring you this non-BSG news:

I just unlocked the Slayer of Beasts achievement in Fallout 3, which you unlock by killing 300 creatures. Appropriately enough, my 300th creature kill was a minigun versus minigun toe to toe battle between me and a super-mutant master.

I found a copy of the developer's notes for Fallout 3 while I was clearing out my desk this weekend. Anyone want it? It's a 3" thick ring binder.
