Aw, I just got here!
t sigh
Killing Fuel is no more palatable than it was a couple of turns ago.
-1 Morale, Admiralissimo to Sickbay.
I never knew the press could be that violent! Jeez, one little suggestion that they have to share some of the responsibility for the destruction of civilisation and this happens. I've half a mind to cancel my subscription to
The Colonial Times.

Adama: Sickbay; 6 cards
Hrmph. If one of you could see their way clear to getting me out of Sickbay before my next turn, I'd be much obliged.
Incidentally, I found megan walker's Secret Santa present here: The 2010 Good Gift Games.
Unfortunately, I couldn't anyone who had Last Call: The Bartender Game in stock.

A game even juliana might play!
That guy's rules for Good Gift Games are pretty much what ran through my head when I opened it.
The criteria I use to make my selections remain unchanged:
•They are easy to learn, with rules that can be explained in less than five minutes
•They are entertaining enough that even the guy who comes in dead last has a great time playing
•They are quick, lack downtime, and require an hour or less to complete
I'm just sad that I leave tomorrow and won't have a chance to try it out for a few weeks.

FYI I am going out of town from the 18th-23rd. I should be able to check in once a day.
BSG
Well, I think making sure we can trust the Admiral is a priority at this point.
Move: None
Action: Use my OPG ability to view Adama's Loyalty Cards.
BSG
I will be out of town from the 18th-28th. I think between free WiFi on the planes and (I assume) my siblings' wireless, I should be able to keep things running smoothly. Obviously, I won't have my board with me, so make sure to check your cards, summaries, etc.
Adama's info is on the way.
BSG
Ooh, interesting choice, Doctor.
BSG
Well, Admiral, Doc Cottle was kind enough to slip me a blood sample while he was treating you and it looks like we can't blame shoddy Cylon programing for some of your, er, quirks. Thanks to my incredible scientific knowledge (to go with my all-around brilliance) I've come to the conclusion that you're human after all.
