Very well. The 4 raiders in Sector 6 attack first, followed by the 3 raiders in Sector 5. There's a lot at stake here: it's possible for the humans to lose the game right here with the loss of only two ships, if they're the wrong two.
Attack 1: 1. Miss.
Attack 2: 6. Viper damaged!
Starbuck plays an EM-2.
Attack 2a: 2 - 2 = 0. Miss.
Attack 3: 5. Viper damaged.
Starbuck... does
not
play an EM, and is sent to Sickbay!
Attack 4: destroys one of the civvies.
Dee's agreed to have it determined randomly, and it is:
Ship L: 0 Population!
The raiders from Sector 1 join their fellows in Sector 6, as the three raiders in Sector 5 open fire:
Attack 1: 4. Miss.
Attack 2: 6. Viper damaged!
All 8 vipers are now damaged. There are no vipers remaining to protect the fleet.
Attack 3: destroys one civvie.
Dee, as it happens, activated Comms way back when she revealed, and so she still knows the contents of ships D and E. Ship D taunts her with memories of her 'human' identity, and she orders it destroyed:
Ship D: 1 Population!
Population falls to 3. That concludes Dee's turn. I'm sending Ellen's cards now. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

That concludes Dee's turn.
I think she needs to discard a card.
All 8 vipers are now damaged. There are no vipers remaining to protect the fleet.
Poor, defenseless humans!
BSG
I think she needs to discard a card.
No, the count was off. She only has 9 cards. It updated automatically with her normal card draw, not her Cylon draw.
BSG
We're in dire straits here. Even though it's likely to kill us, I think we have to jump here. Next raider activation is going to destroy 5 civvies, and chances are good there's going to be at least 3 population among them anyway.
After Ellen's turn is Helo's. Even if we manage to get a jump icon and no raider activation, Helo will just activate the raiders and destroy all the civvies himself before Roslin gets a chance to jump us out of here.
BSG
Aw, come on, the party's just getting started! I brought cake.*
*The cake explodes.
BSG
Right, promise us cake, deliver Cake Shortage Crises. Not falling for that again.
How general is the Gaming thread? Do people ever talk about Magic in here?
Also, how substantive a comment do I have to make so that my number-slutting for 10K isn't obvious?
EDIT: Also also, I'm playing through Mario Galaxy 2 right now and the cloud power is the best thing EVER for not dying.

All gaming talk is welcome.

Slumbernut is a game.
Speaking of things besides BSG... if anybody wants to be my neighbor in Farmville, Cityville, Treasure Isle or City of Wonder... I'm Laga Ratica on Facebook.
