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

Speaking of coming of age, billytea, I was watching Walkabout today and thought of you.

That is, in its own way, strangely hilarious. Have you seen the Coupling episode "The Cupboard of Patrick's Love"? (If not, you really should.)

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

I would actually suggest XOing Tigh

that seems like a good plan but since we're so close to the end of the game I feel like I should wait for input from the rest of team human. Guys?

I've never seen Coupling.

Laga did you see the edited version of my post (i.e., once I thought about it for two seconds)?

The reason I did not check in last night, is because the last Crisis Card email I received was from Chief's turn.

I realize from the board summaries we just a crapton of ships in the air and the jump track went down (really? We had to go make this game longer?), but I'd appreciate it if anything else happened if Omnis would please send me the description of Apollo's super crisis.

Did Boomer have a crisis or should I not be posting before I've had coffee again?

No, I spent my turn activating the new raiders. No new Crisis from me. (You may commence with the adulation and extolling of my virtues.)

DQ, Apollo's Super Crisis Card put the stuff in the air (with a special rule that moved us back on the jump track) and Boomer moved to Cylon Fleet so that he could activate one kind of Cylon ship, making the raiders head our way.

I suggested that Zarek XO you to move to Communications to consolidate the civvies in Sector 5 with me, or you could go to Command and add 4 vipers to the mix (I'd suggest 3 in sector 6 and 1 in sector 5).

(Has had coffee now, brain resuming normal function.)

Thanks BT and Megan.

I agree moving civvies or launching vipers is a good idea.

If Zarek has something awesome to do with the Quorum I'd say that's a good option too.

If Zarek has an Authorization of Brutal Force, it might be best to wait until my turn, when he could play two cards (of course, another ABF would be ideal). Right now, I'm leaning towards more birds in the air.

I do have some pull with the quorum when it comes to brutal force but if I wait for an xo I can draw an extra quorum card.

I stay here and play a G1 on Admiral Tigh. Let's get some more birds in the air.
