I'm very sorry. The conversation got extremely confusing to follow (and I wasn't part of it) and I misunderstood what was deemed acceptable in the end.

I broke the rules of the game. Should I leave?

I certainly don't think so.

FWIW, you weren't giving any new info to me. Anyone even remotely following the game would know what you essentially had in your hand. And because he started the round with no cards, it's a no-brainer what colors Chief had. That's why I suspected we couldn't pass from the beginning (but I purposefully waited to mention it until after we knew what destiny was and the cylons played).

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

I regretfully play no cards.

The rules say you can say "medium" if you're playing more than 1 card. It's all very nit-picky.

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

While we're finishing off the check, Apollo, you could put in COs for your card draw. (So could I, come to think of it.)

Oh please no. I want to finish the game, not boot people.

It's all very nit-picky.
Yes, too much so for my taste. But it's slowing things down with scalpel shavings of the rules. If the time wasted on debating the rules were spent playing the game, we might be done by now. So, as GM, I had to make a decision.

That said, let's finish this check up, shall we?

Well humans, if nothing else, you did get the cylons to waste a couple cards. Let's see what that cost y'all.
-1 population. It is now your lowest resource, at 2.
Raiders are activated, which doesn't matter, as we have none.
Jump Track is advanced! Woot! One step closer to Kobol!

Apollo has opted to draw one yellow and one red.

I'm leaving for the gym so will be offline for about 90 minutes.

In the meantime I will draw two crisis cards and resolve one of them.

Apollo has discarded option 2, Terrorist Bomber , and gone with option 1, Fulfiller of Prophecy . This will cost him a skill card, and he is discarding a Yellow 1. It also causes another Crisis card to be drawn! And that is Terrorist Investigations.

Details of all 3 crisis cards to be e-mailed shortly.

BSG

Just to check, on Fulfiller of Prophecy, he chose the discard rather than the skill check?
