I'm getting a little gun-shy here. I'm having sudden visions of us jumping early, losing one pop and then only being able to jump 1 distance.
This is my fear as well. Plus, we may ending up jumping anyway if we get the right card.
Right now, I think we need to focus on accumulating cards and passing what we can.
I'm leaning towards assigning Tigh as mission specialist but I'm waiting for input from Chief.
So, yeah.

I stay where I'm at and draw a quorum card. Next I play Assign Mission Specialist... I just re-read my notes and it says
instead of
Admiral. So (after drawing two yellow cards) I shout down the hall, "Helo! I have a job for you!"
BSG
Ready and willing, Mr. President, sir!
BSG
(sotto voce) I think the Admiral's been drinking again. You mind choosing our next jump destination?
ion, Mom & Dad are demanding my attention. (the nerve! I come for a visit and they won't let me stay in the guest room on the computer the whole time!) I hate to run away when the game seems to be rolling. I'll be back as soon as I can.
back... omnis must still be at work, poor kid... or he got home and crashed.
Just getting home now. Some mondays at work are "Margarita Mondays" at one of the Sound Professors homes. So, it was an evening potluck party, that was drinks and snacks. Power went off 20 minutes into it. So we chatted the night away with the grad students. Kinda cool, actually.
Anyhow, Laga, e-mail insent with yellow draw and Quorum card draw. That ends the movement/action phase of your turn, so on to the Crisis Card phase.

Crisis Card
Water Shortage
Presidents Choice
Details to be e-mailed. But I sense y'all are familiar with it, as there are several of these in the deck, one of which has already been in play.

Pretty much; however, they're not all the same. They can differ in activations and jump icons.

It doesn't matter at this stage anyway, but the AMS card says you can give it to any other player. The only player who can't receive it is the President himself. (And revealed Cylons.)
BSG
I swear I have "instead of admiral" here. Oh well, you're right, it doesn't matter.
I don't really see a choice here, I'll take option 2. Discard Y1, Y1, G1, G2, G2
BSG
I swear, Omnis has the "Deluxe Famine Edition!!!" of the game.
Ouch. At least it was one of us who could make the choice instead of coming up for a toaster.

Exactly. And, at 7 points, those card losses weren't bad.
