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?
BSG
ugh that sucks. Let's try it again. I draw yet another quorum card and play
Food Rationing.
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
The prez makes the choice. Details to be e-mailed.
Um, I don't think there's really a choice here, right? Isn't one of the options lose 2 food?
BSG
yeah, sorry Tigh. We're going to have to go with option 2 on this one. No jump track?
BSG
Seriously? Didn't we already get that crisis like two or three times? (No, I am not asking for how many Food Shortage cards are in the crisis deck nor what the statistical chance is of drawing one. I'm just venting.)
Anyway. Discard P1, P1, G3.
Looks like you should've cooked up your special recipe after all, Zarek. Maybe someone can XO him to do just that next turn.
BSG
Yeah, I was going to suggest XOing me to draw more cards (probably 2 yellow and 2 purple), but the food situation is dire.
Zarek, do you also have a way to get cards as a second action? Because we really need those to get through the cylon double-play coming up.
