You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

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]

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.

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.

Of course, I wouldn't have noticed but we have some obessesiveenthusiastic card counters playing.

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.

I wouldn't have any idea who you mean.

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.

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

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.

BSG

We are short on cards, and I certainly wouldn't want to overshoot on this. Doctor, given that you'd lose your remaining card on a failure, you may as well throw it in. I'd recommend we spend no more than a couple additional cards on this, and would be ok with tanking it.

Edit: Pass on interrupts.

BSG

I can help on this check, but I can see the all or nothing aspect. Without an IC to know what Destiny has in store, it's a tough bet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, maybe we should tank.

I want to proclaim, SeanK is a GENIUS! His tip for Nijmegen Bridge was spot on. I did everything right, except fire off a few rounds from each of their machine gun nests. Once I did that, there were 2 or 3 places where a ton of bad guys came crawling out. BAM! Gold medal. Thanks Sean!!
