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

BSG

We're moving at a bracing pace here.

And I'm about to leave for an hour or two.

Bye, Ellen, we hardly knew ye, in case you're not here when I return.

...Hi, Ellen, we, um, totally trust you, in case you are.

Tally: 38 - 8 = 30. I think you just might have squeaked that one in. The crew rushes to defend Ellen Tigh's honour! Even Ellen, which is a first. You really deserve something more than 'no effect'. Tell you what, here's a shiny button. You can take turns holding it or something.

There's also a heavy raider activation, which does nothing, and a jump icon. That concludes the short reign of Admiral Eccentrica Gallumbits. Helo retrieves his bars and prepares for his turn. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

The player's furious, and won't be returning to this forum for future gaming or conversation.

The character doesn't give a damn.

Hurry up and finish the damn game, I'm done with the lot of you and want to never, ever see any of you in my inbox again.

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

Okay...

In any case, Helo, if you are in fact a human and not a Cylon, I would ask that you XO me so I can Scout the Destination Deck, possibly twice, to try to find us a jump that will get us to 8 without exhausing our fuel.

I'm sorry, StuntHusband. We clearly haven't taken enough care to keep the game friendly and fun.
