What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

What would we potentially lose if we jumped early? Just 1 population? That's our highest resource right now, and Sector 5 is getting pretty hairy. If we do sit tight, letting Starbuck blow shit up would probably be wise.

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

BSG

I'm for jumping

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I'm for jumping and taking the risk.

I move to FTL and initiate a jump

In the event that we have a roll that loses us pop, I will use my reroll ability.

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

BSG

The fleet is jumping! Does anyone want to play an SP? Everyone with Purple, pass or play (or send me COs). Anyone holding a Calculations can also modify the die roll after the fact. If you have one, send me COsfor if you want to play it (before and/or after Gaeta's reroll).

I have orders from Dee to play an SP-5 on the roll.

Die roll = 6 + 2 = 8. Dee's planning ensures all ships make it safely! Safely where? Even from Caprica, the Admiral has fingers in many pies. Admiral, I'm sending you two pies destinations. When you're ready, please post your choice.

I really wanted to jump us to Pizza Hut, but that wasn't one of the choices. Neither was Taco Bell. It was a choice between a dirty street vendor who hadn't bathed in a week and a hamburger someone dropped on the sidewalk.

We've jumped to a Mining Asteroid. That, unfortunately, is patrolled by that motherfucker Scar. He's only one Raider, though! We can take him! It's a step up from our previous situation. (And he repaired our Viper for us! Probably because he wants to blow it up himself, but still.)

You've reached a new destination, but you haven't left all your troubles behind. You may, on the other hand, have left your potato snacks behind. Dee's Crisis is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your 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

I don't know what cards you two have, but my vote is for the discard and one food loss. In past games Food seems to go down in a hurry.

We need to get those Civvies out of Sector 4 right away. Next raider activation will allow Scar to destroy them both.

ETA: Or XO me and I can take some potshots at Scar and draw his fire if I miss.

I think the next activation only gets Scar to the civvies. I assume activating twice means he moves through two sectors, not that he gets to do everything double.

Or XO me and I can take some potshots at Scar and draw his fire if I miss.

Are you still in space after the jump?

I guess I'm stuck on the asteroid. It's not as pretty as Caprica.
