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

BSG

Or maybe getting blown up just makes me cranky.

Clearly we need to build up a broader database of reactions to getting blown up. Ideally we would blow you up several more times to fill out the range of its impact on your mood. I propose we use repeatedly blowing up Tigh as a control group.

Hey, I'm not throwing in the towel. I'm just saying that for that turn, that was a pretty crappy series of events.

You know, over the last cycle or two it seems that on average, the humans get luckier on the Cylon turns, and the Cylons do better on the human turns.

Mr. President has played a P3 for this roll. Should help things a bit. Let's see what we roll. A 5 ! Add to that 2 from the SP, for a total of 7 ! That means you get to add a food! Woot! Thanksgiving dinner everyone.

I think that's it for this turn. I hope. Here we go with this:

While dealing cards to Helo, the Leadership deck was reshuffled.

Helo has his new cards. Miracle of miracles, Helo left CO's for his action and move!

MOVE: None, stays put.

ACTION: Plays G1 to XO Tigh.

Sir? What would you like to do?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Yay, food! Now with 50% less barbecued prisoner!

BSG

I would like to get to frakking Kobol already!

Okay, in seriousness.

I move to the Research lab.

For my action, I will draw a... hmm... purple or blue? We only have one guy who can draw blue but that's Chief and he can repair things, but otoh if we get a rare blue card crisis that could help and I get purples on my turn but the chance of a SP would be nice.

Okay, I draw a Purple card.

PS: While I wasn't in weapons control, it is one of the few other place I've been this game besides sickbay and the research lab. Though I've never actually been to the admiral's quarters that I can recall... because someone keeps blowing it up!

There are blow up dolls in the Admirals Quarters? Huh, that's interesting. Are those issued by the fleet? Or black market thing?

Anyhow, purple deck has been reshuffled, thanks to Admiral Sickbay.

OK, well, that's the end of the turn, so, now on to the Crisis Phase! (I love this part)

Witch Hunt (a few weeks early for this one, no?)
10 YG.

There is a partial complete aspect. Look for the e-mail with details.

Good question; this wasn't covered in the original rules, but the FAQ states that the answer is no.

What do people think?

I can help somewhat with the check. Since our recent checks have been closed it's hard to know, but I suspect destiny will not be kind to us.

ETA: If someone has to go to sickbay, I think it should be me. I don't think we need two of us on Colonial One at this point anyway.
