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.

On account of my very delicate self being opposed to landing in the Brig, I will play Y2, Y3, R1.

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

Current total: -9. Helo, I think it's worth playing big here. If you can make a strong showing, I should be able to finish it, even with sabotage from Starbuck.

Good work, soldier. I believe the tally's back to 0. Let's see what Starbot has up her sleeve.

Edit: Chief, I think at this stage you can stay out of it. I'm over my hand limit already, so my cards are more expendable than yours.

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

BSG

Gads this is like the third time I've had trouble keeping track of my cards. I have a different amount of cards written down than the summary for the last round says. Awaiting GM help.

eta: apology... sorry for holding up the game yet again.

eeta: cos insent.

I'm not surprised, with the number of cards you've been pilfering from my crew. And Baltar.

I'm in a Pegasus game at the moment with Ellen Tigh. She has an ability that lets her pass off one of her cards to another player, then draw two extra cards. Trying to keep track of everyone's hand becomes a nightmare.

...Not that I would ever do that, of course. Your secrets are safe. Carry on.

Ok crew, this gets complicated. First up: normally a Briggening needs to reach 7, but thanks to the arbitrary arbitration of the Chief, it's down to 4. That means I need to cough up 8 points. Here goes:

XO-2
DE-3
SP-3

I believe that gives us:

Leadership: G1, G2, G3, G3, G4
Tactics: P1, P1, P3
Politics: Y2, Y3, Y4, Y4
Piloting: R1

Tally: 18 - 14 = 4.

Dr Gaius Frakking Baltar, you may be a magnificent bastard, but you are no longer welcome in my Office. GET OFF MY SHIP!! And onto my other ship. Oh, now there's an idea. Billy? Let's get some bumper stickers made up for Colonial One, saying "MY OTHER CAR IS A BATTLESTAR".

See how I can just boss him around like that? That is because he must respect my Command Authoritah! And let me tell you, Command Authoritah is a beautiful thing. Not only is it a major turn-on, it lets me do this:

I use my OPG to pick up all the cards played into this check. Even the little red one.

Right, that brings my hand to... 22 cards. I feel like I should be taking a pill, or shouting "By the power of Greyskull!" or something.

If that doesn't provoke a Crisis, I just don't know what will.
