I just realized with Pegasus it's possible to start with an Admiral Tigh and a President Tigh. Should the humans just say "We quit" at that point?
If that were to occur, Tigh could use his OPG to take the Presidency off his wife, and Ellen could use her OPG to take either title off her husband (for a turn at least). I would be obliged in this case to rename Tigh's ability "Declare Marital Law".

Sector 5: 1 RSV
A recreational space vehicle?
(Also, do you always start out under attack? I don't remember that from the game I played. Or maybe we just took care of it really quickly.)

A recreational space vehicle?
That's courtesy of omnis. It's become a tradition in these games to refer to unmanned vipers as "redshirt vipers".
(Also, do you always start out under attack? I don't remember that from the game I played. Or maybe we just took care of it really quickly.)
You do indeed always start out under attack. I wouldn't worry about it though. What's the worst that could happen?
BSG
Okay folks, looks like we are starting. What do folks think the first move to preserve the human race should be? I can activate comms since I'm already here and check out what we have out there with our civvies, or I could move to weapons control and take a shot at the toasters out there.
You could all die miserably in a flaming heap and the universe could be taken over by robots?

I believe the robots are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way...
BSG
Hee. I meant that as an answer to billytea`s rhetorical, not as a suggestion for humanity`s first action. But it does read amusingly that way.
BSG
Excellent. This time we find out we are cylons because we hear the voice of Michael Jackson in our heads.
BSG
Am I reading it right that the raiders need three activations before the civvies are in danger? In that case I would be in favor of Dee moving to Weapons Control.
