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

BSG

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.)

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.

Giving us these cards:

Tally: 29 - 0 = 29. Pass! Food increases by 1, and Starbuck gets her Perrier.

Next, the raiders activate. There's only one left in a threatening position; it fires:

Die roll = 2. Fail.

Its buddies march in from Sector 1 to join it. Finally, the Jump Prep track advances. That concludes Starbuck's action sequence-filled turn. Dee has opted to draw Blue. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Well, this is a pickle. I too am on my phone right now. We seem to be at an impasse. Who will break first?!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

...doom awaits, but none know in what shape it will arrive. None but the phones. Will our plucky heroes survive? Or will the ringtone of PAIN soon sound?
