It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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 will fire on one of the remaining raiders in my sector.

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

BSG

But which one? Will the dilemma shake the nerve of Galactica's best pilot?

Attack = 5. Hit!

Apparently not. After such an impressive display of prowess in the midst of a desperate struggle for their lives, naturally your Crisis is:

Forced Water Mining
Current Player's Choice

...Ok, the hell? Is -- Is Starbuck refusing to fight, Achilles-style, until she's assured of her supply of bottled sparkling water? Only one woman knows for sure. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG

If we go for the check I can help a lot but it would leave me with very few cards.

I can help a lot with the Skill Check. What do the rest of you think?

ETA: I'm also leaning towards the Skill check because otherwise I have to discard 4 cards anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I could carry my weight with the Skill Check.

Okay, let's go Skill Check.

Interrupts! I want to hear about 'em. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Dee to start, Starbuck to finish it.

I'd just like to add, you guys are managing a fantastic pace here. When I went to bed last night, we were just about to start Laura Roslin's turn. We've done 2 full turns, and Starbuck's orders, over a single day. They were pretty eventful turns too. I reckon this is on track to be the fastest game yet. (Especially impressive given there's all the new Pegasus paraphernalia to deal with.)
