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

Hey, can someone remind me (or Nilly up an earlier post that details, whichever's easier) the conventions for formatting in thread? I didn't really pay attention when I wasn't playing...
Italics in character remarks and we bold some stuff, right?

The conventions we've used in previous games are:
Start game-related posts with BSG (as above).
In-game role-playing can be in italics, though that was never really enforced. It's usually pretty obvious. (Possibly a good idea if you want to insult a character without insulting the player too. After all, we do have Baltar as President.)
Orders in bold. That's an important one. It keeps the distinction between discussing what we might do, and actually doing it.
That's about it.

And on that note, here's a worked example. Fuel is very hard to get back, and we can't afford to start losing it before we've even made our first jump. So:
Tea you say, Doctor? That does sound appealing. You'd better get back here then. Admiral Adama does not wait for tea! If it's to happen, it happens now! Marines, go get the Doctor. If he resists, you're authorised to break out the gentle persuaders. Ensign, ready the comfy chair. Oh, and the restraints and ball gag. Sharing a relaxing cuppa is one thing, actually having to listen to him is a bridge too far.
I choose -1 Morale, Baltar to Sickbay.

Oh, I should note, I've acted a little out of turn. Baltar's Delusional Intuition allows him to draw a skill card of any colour. Technically that happens before resolving the crisis, but I'm making the same choice mo matter what he chooses, and it's no secret.

Is that your final decision, or just an example?
If the former, what authority!
Swoon.

That is a final decision, from a Final Decider. Now watch this drive.

While I wait for Baltar's decision about his delusionsDelusional Intuition, I'll point out that we have a die roll coming up and people should feel free to send me COs about interrupts.
