Helo, your move and actions have been noted.

I'm currently waiting for Baltar to post a Move and Action, or two Actions.

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

BSG

Sorry I suck so bad. Doesn't it seem like the game is moving really fast this time around? I won't resist the brigging, I figure once the real cylon reveals we'll need my cards too.

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

Sorry for the delay folks, but I didn't have time to check the board before work this morning and didn't want send COs and pull the trigger on the brigging without first verifying our Admiral's logic.

No offense, but suggesting we brig our best pilot is exactly the sort of thing a Cylon would do. "Trust but verify" and all that.

All that said...

We're agreed then. Can't say I'm happy about losing our best pilot and the Hero of the Battle of...um, Whatever That Place Full of Cylons Was That We Jumped Out of Really Quickly, but we can't have a Cylon and balloon-hater running loose. It's bad for morale. Plus, she might kill us all, which is even worse for morale, I suppose.

In any case, I trust you and your marines to take care of this promptly. I need to get back to the Quorum. [hands the arrest order to Adama.]

Move: Discard B1 to move to President's Office.

Action: Draw 1 Quorum card and then play Arrest Order on Starbuck.

(Sorry, Laga. I don't think anyone is saying you suck. The cards played do seem to point a finger at you, though. Of course, I wouldn't have noticed but we have some obessesiveenthusiastic card counters playing.)

Just a head's up, I'm down to one card and it ain't pretty, so I'm not going to be much help on any checks until we get back to my turn again.

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

BSG

Good work, President, you've made the right choice. In fact, I'm so impressed that I think I'll offer you a promotion, from Space Weasel to Space Ferret. Look, I even made you a coat of arms for your very own: [link]

I agree completely. See, for instance, our first game, wheer a Cylon Apollo ran completely amok with accusations and fearmongering, in the process turning the entire fleet against each other and coming under no suspicion himself until everyone else was in the Brig. It was just awesome! t ahem Terrible. I mean terrible.

You are playing with an actuary after all.

I'm just back from my holiday party (and shockingly sober) and will get everything together in a moment to send out Baltar's QC draw and the next crisis.

Okay, Starbuck has been brigged. Only time will tell if that was a good move for team human.

In the meantime, on to your next crisis! Hooray!

You have drawn what Omnis affectionately called "The Pete Card": Elections Loom (8YG). Details to be emailed.

Well, partial pass or failing are going to have nearly the same result at this point with my hand. I'd hate to lose the point of morale that we just gained, but on the other hand, morale isn't in that bad of shape. Is it worth spending cards on this?

Pass on interrupts.

ETA: I might as well play my card into the check if we decide to tank it. Maybe we'll get a lucky bounce from destiny.

No interrupts.

I can help a good deal on this check, if we choose to go for it.
