Did I ever mention that I'm afraid of muppets? AND IT TURNS OUT THERE'S A GOOD REASON...MUPPETS ARE TRYING TO BE OUR ROBOTIC OVERLORDS!

And I'm taking the Presidency too. Give it, or face some XTREME briggening!

The President must now choose to give the President title to El Hippo, or move to the Brig.

Note that all of these choices are subject to Helo's OPG ability.

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

BSG

Well at least you're no closer to jumping.

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

While I see some personal advantage in the son I never had being able to change Baltar's mind, I should note that there's some dispute on this. Some people read Helo's ability as only applying to the "xxx OR yyy" formatted choices - so he could change my mind but not Baltar's. I'll see what I can hunt down, but it may need a GM's ruling.

I doubt I'd use my OPG on this particular decision, fwtw.

I thought that's what I just did.

What can I say? I'm a literal person. The text reads "After a player makes a choice on a Crisis Card, you may change it." To me, that applies to any choice.

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, Starbuck, since I know you Cylons have a master plan, does my remaining President but brigged, or losing the Presidency in order to stay unbrigged and "help" with the Super Crisis you are likely to unleash on your turn serve that plan better?

I am only asking so I can choose the opposite, of course. {wink-wink}

BSG

I'm not sure. If they use up cards brigging you, that's good. If you're out to oppose them with cards of your own, that's good too, you handsome devil.

Someone initiated the 'flirt' subroutine on that Cybuck! This can lead nowhere good: [link]

Well, if I let them take the presidency from me to avoid going to the brig, it'd be best if you were planning to hit them with a Super Crisis or at least a Crisis on your turn. I imagine my freedom won't last long beyond that.
