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

Book: He could hurry... a little.

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

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

For the record, that is ANOTHER Food Rationing. Boy, what a crafty President y'all have.
This being another die roll, and no CO's sent for this round. Does anyone wish to play an Interrupt? That would be a Purple 3-5.

Excellent. Let's get this roll in before I head to work.
Random die roller gives us a: 3
Add two to that because of the P4 and we get: 5 .
Sad to say we need a 6 through 8 to get the food boost. Sorry team humans. You must have pissed the gods of kobol off royally. Or they think y'all are too fat.
Oh my. On that note, here comes the crisis card:
Food Shortage
The prez makes the choice. Details to be e-mailed.

Food Shortage
Damn. I think the GM's hardware is being affected by the cylon mainframe or something.

Um, I don't think there's really a choice here, right? Isn't one of the options lose 2 food?

yeah, sorry Tigh. We're going to have to go with option 2 on this one. No jump track?
