non BSG-
does anybody play Orbis (the civilization mod)? I downloaded an update with new civilizations and it started crashing when I tried to launch a hot seat game. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything and now the graphics are messed up and I can't even build a unit in single-player mode without it crashing. I've looked for help on the civfanatics forums but they are difficult to navigate so I thought I'd try my luck here. Could anyone point me to the most up-to-date patch?
BSG
With the President dumping the top card, it makes a brand new card the "top card". And we get to play:
Mandatory Testing
13 YG
Details in e-mail. Please post CO's for interrupts. No blue in this check, so both IC and SP are good to go.
BSG
Am I crazy, or does 13 seem high for only losing 1 morale? I think Zarek and Tigh are pretty low on cards at this point. I'm actually wondering if we should save cards right now and intentially fail, especially since we'll need XOs this round. Thoughts?
If not, I could play an IC, but then I wouldn't be able to help much.
BSG
Your Morale is at 7. Just FYI.
BSG
You only need a partial pass (9+) to save the Morale. If you get the full pass, Zarek gets to check the Chief's loyalty! (I think you should do it. He's pretty shifty, that one.)
(Sorry, missed this in the churn..)
Oh, you weren't joking about the shiny coin.
Heh. I mean, harrumph, of course not!
Is Get Lamp coming to theatres? Netflix seems to be so far unaware of it.
Not as such, but he is screening an abbreviated version at schools & cons for a while: [link] I know it's available for rent at Scarecrow Video in Seattle so you might try more esoteric places; I dunno if it's likely to turn up on Netflix.
BSG
No interrupts from me and I'm fine with intentional fail since I can't really help.
anyone for poker?
If you ever see Laga on Full Tilt Poker, that's me.
BSG
No interrrupts.
Omnis, I know it's late in the game, but when there's two pass levels, could you please post both difficulties in the thread?
It may be worth making the 9 skill check; there's no point in going to 13.
I don't like losing any resources right now. At the same time, we can afford slightly to lose morale. Really, I can see it both ways.
That said, I can help very little during the check. Those of you keeping score at home will note I had no cards when I drew last turn, my regular draw is 2g 3p, and one of the cards I recently played was a G1.
BSG
Well, let's wait and here from Chief, but, even at 9, I'm leaning towards failing.
Note: Destiny is unlikely to help as 2 greens and 1 yellow have already shown up in the last two checks.
And then there's the toasters.
