That said, speaking as your Chief of Staff, if you want I can put a political spin on this whole thing, making POL positive. Sadly, my POL options aren't better than my TAC options, but if nothing else, it would allow you to exercise your considerable Presidential clout.

Alright, let's do this then. I really want that extra Jump Prep.

POL/TAC/ENG = 10

16 - 9 = 7 FAIL!

It turns out that Raider wasn't entirely crippled. It actually had some missiles that it was waiting to fire.

Okay, a LOT of missiles. :twonk:

-1 Population! So much for that Civilian Convoy. :fluttersmith:

No raiders to activate. Jump prep advances!

I'm in favor of letting Discord try shooting the Centurions. My alternate suggestion would be I could start farming the Quorum deck to try and Authorize some Brutal Force, but I'm not really in position for that.

(?) · by **Val Helmethead** (?) » Fri Jun 29, 2012 2:14 am

As soon as the centurions go "boom", I'd advise figuring out how to get our future admiral out of the brig, so she doesn't have to farm for LEA and can do TAC instead when I steal 2 cards from her every turn.

Discord is the best!

I can't until I know if you've stolen it from me. Thanks for targeting me again, by the way. Great job on that. :-/

Still, on the off-chance that you don't steal it from me, it's been preloaded to be used on the shot you just made.

##draw 2 TAC

(?) · by **ToastGhost** (?) » Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:56 am

Discord continues the barrage of orchestrated gunfire and explosives, using Strategic Planning (TAC-4) while doing so! He must've stolen the battle plans and/or sheet music from Cadence, but that doesn't matter too much now!

1d8 + 2 = 8, Centaurian destroyed!

I ran out of jokes about water shortages the last time this crisis came up, what makes you think I'll have anything clever to say now? Well, the fleets whining some more and food is somehow an issue, so the President has once again been called in to solve what will probably be a very simple problem. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. GET IT TOGETHER, PONYKIND.

CRISIS: Water Shortage

President Chooses:
-1 Food

Quick post from my hotel room outside Bronycon! :yay:

Discord, how do you feel about discarding? I'm not super thrilled about it, but if I have to for the good of the fleet...

Terrible would be the loss of food,

You do still get a Crisis while you're infiltrating. Pegasus rulebook, page 11, second paragraph under the "Infiltrating" heading.

Four days without electricity. Updates will resume shortly. :bluh:

(?) · by **ToastGhost** (?) » Wed Jul 04, 2012 8:08 am

Shortly:
-1 Food!

Discord is going through the emergency water reserves pretty quickly, but if he hadn't turned the entire armory's stock into Super Soakers you'd probably still have another centaurian on your hands. You've got to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Did I mention Discord went through all the eggs? He was trying to make a grenegg. It wasn't very effective, but it did get egg on a few cylon faces.

No nukes to launch! Jump prep advances!
