Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Thank you, Mrs. Tyrol.



Quorum is in session!

Hey Trasson next time you check in see if you can stick around for like 15-20 minutes so I can get your second Presidential Aide action out of the way while we're at it!

Take it from me, an every day single mom, I'm voting for Tom Zarek. He speaks to matters that I care about most, like equal pay for equal work, child care assistance for working moms, and brutally torturing cylon agents. Who has time to deal the moral implications of advanced interrogations techniques and indefinite detention when there are dirty diapers to be changed, am I right ladies? Tom does that for us, so we don't have to, and I have more time to spend with this little guy. I know his future will be bright with Tom Zarek as our president. Vote Tom Zarek.

But he's right!
Is President Zarek really who we think he is?

I turn your attention to Exhibit A:



A man that looks suspiciously like our President masquerading as a pilot on a Battlestar.

Can you be certain we haven't been duped by a cheap skin job?

Can you be certain our children are safe from Zarek?

Can you?

Yeah I'm going to be upfront here, Arivia - I was hoping for players who could check in more often than a couple of times a day. (The 12 hour limit in the rules was intended to be an outlier guideline, not the norm) For comparison, you have 4 posts in this thread, and the next lowest poster has 13.

If there's something going on that's temporarily keeping you from posting up a storm, just let me know and that's fine, life happens. But if you don't feel like you can check in frequently, it's OK to bow out and I'll find a replacement. I've got a shortlist of other folks who wanted into this game, so no worries. I'd hope it doesn't come to that, but let me know either way so we can keep things rolling. Thanks :shobon:

I have to sleep sometime, you know. I checked before I went to bed and there was nothing for me to respond to; you posted the Crisis about 10 minutes later.

Quick Fix goes off before any skill check abilities get resolved, actually. Once Cocks Cable chooses, THEN all that fun stuff fires. And it would make it Strength 10 since there's two 0-value cards in the check.
