You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

Does anyone else hear the Jeopardy theme music?

Well, that's just great. All the other Cylons get Hendrix.

Anyway. I discard Boarding Parties, and play Ambush.

Well, that takes two non-jumps out of the deck on a cylon turn. Finally, the Gods seem to be with us.

BSG

Wow, was that close. Very glad I made the right choice with my IC.

It's a shame we didn't come by that Crisis honestly, otherwise we could be one jump shy of Kobol by now.

Now let's hope the gods smile on us and the Boomerbot only has two wimpy crisises to choose from.

ETA: So of course it's a cross-post. Oh, well. Attack cards work. At least it wasn't another Food shortage.

On the off chance that we may be able to jump twice before the cylons turns, what do people think of jumping now and likely taking a -1 pop hit?

Either Zarek could XO Tigh to move to FTL, or could move there himself if he doesn't have an XO. If he draws a SP, he could play it for the roll.

Omnis hasn't sent the info, but Boomer posted that he played Ambush, which is a cylon attack card (and which becomes irrelevant if we jump).

I'm all for jumping early for a potential -1 pop loss, even without Helo's re-roll or an SP. At this point the less crisis cards we see, the better.

I'd honestly say a SP with a value of 4 or 5 is better held onto for play in a skill check. We're all really low on cards and with the Cylons back-to-back, we could lose in short order.

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

BSG

Ambush info has been sent. As there is nothing to resolve, just a lot of crap in the air, it takes us to the end of the Boomer turn.

In that case, I'd say Zarek (if possible) should XO Tigh to move to FTL and jump with no interrupts.

Of course, if Zarek has a Quorum card that affects destination card choices, we might want to wait the extra turn.

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

BSG

I'm all for jumping early.

Does the Admiral choose between three destination cards?
