So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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

There's also my OPG. If I play two ration cards to no avail, should I go find a copy of To Serve Man ?

Can you use that at any time? If so, I might wait until we hit one (or are about to).

Copy that. I'll shove the Long Pig Dry Rub to back the back of the spice cabinet.

D is playing a war game on his PS3 and I can hear one of the other players getting chewed out by his mother for not cleaning the bathroom.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Almost makes up for the brats kicking your ass and laughing at how much you suck.

D was certainly enjoying it. She went on for a good three minutes.

Surprised she didn't turn off the game. My Atari sure got turned off like that a LOT as a kid.

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

Just to clarify, it can be used pretty freely, but it takes an action to do so. Zarek can use it for his action on hie turn or when receiving an XO; he couldn't use it for an interrupt, say, right after drawing a Food Shortage.

YES! B.org is back! (it was not loading). I was going to e-mail this, but since we are back up and running, here we go.

Sorry for the delay. Work knocked me out today.

I have e-mailed Zarek his Quorum Card draw. To keep things rolling, I am going with what Zarek said upthread, he indicated playing Food Rationing. That involves a die roll, if we roll a 6-8, we add 1 food resource.

Helo left some CO's to play a P3 to help with the die roll. Random die roll generates a 1 . We add 2 to that with the P3, and that gives us 3 . I am afraid that was not enough to meet the threshold of 6. So there is no effect. Thankfully it didn't cost anything.

That ends action one for the Presidents XO.

Mr. President, what is your second action?

ugh that sucks. Let's try it again. I draw yet another quorum card and play Food Rationing.
