Title: Battlestar Galactica Game Thread

Kobol Objective in play.  As soon as you pass these distances for the first time, the following effects occur:

4: Sleeper Agent Phase
8: The next time the fleet jumps, the humans win the game(do not draw a destination card).



Turn 37

The investigations are begun but are unable to turn up any evidence implicating anyone.  The official statement is that the bomb was placed long before, while the Cylon agents were still on Galactica, and that there is nothing further to worry about.  This calms the civilians, for now.

Since I know the board will be difficult to read and information about the characters and skill cards is important, I'm stealing a reference list from SA's BSG threads.



Characters(Information in parentheses are the decks they draw from and the number of cards from each deck.  If two decks are listed for one number, the player chooses which deck.)

   
Quote
    Nitori:

    Gaius Baltar (Politics/2, Leadership/1, Engineering/1)
    Delusional Intuition -- After you draw a Crisis Card, draw 1 Skill Card of your choice (it may be from outside your skill set).
    Cylon Detector -- Action: Once per game, you may look at all Loyalty Cards belonging to another player.
    Coward -- You start the game with 2 Loyalty Cards instead of 1.


    Stelas:

    Karl "Helo" Agathon (Leadership/2, Tactics/2, Piloting/1)
    ECO Officer -- During your turn, you may reroll a die that was just rolled (once per turn). You must use the new result.
    Moral Compass -- Once per game, after a player makes a choice on a Crisis Card, you may change it.
    Stranded -- Your character is not placed on the board at the start of the game. While not on the game board, you may not move, be moved, or take actions. At the start of your 2nd turn, place your character on the "Hangar Deck" location.


    Lady Door:

    Lee "Apollo" Adama (Piloting/2, Leadership/Politics/2, Tactics/1)
    Alert Viper Pilot -- When a viper is placed in a space area from the "Reserves", you may choose to pilot it and take 1 action. You may only do this when you are on a Galactica location, excluding the "Brig".
    CAG -- Action: Once per game, you may activate up to 6 unmanned Vipers.
    Headstrong -- When you are forced to discard Skill Cards, you must discard randomly.


    Sir Alex:

    Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Tactics/2, Piloting/2, Leadership/Engineering/1)
    Expert Pilot -- When you start your turn piloting a Viper, you may take 2 Actions during your Action Step (instead of 1).
    Secret Destiny -- Once per game, immediately after a Crisis Card is revealed, discard it and draw a new one.
    Insubordinate -- When a player chooses you with the "Admiral's Quarters" location, reduce the difficulty by 3.


    AndrewRogue:

    "Chief" Galen Tyrol (Engineering/2, Leadership/2, Politics/1)
    Maintenance Engineer -- During your turn, after you use a "Repair" Skill Card, you may take another action (once per turn).
    Blind Devotion -- Once per game, after cards have been added to a Skill Check (but before revealing them), you may choose a skill type. All cards of the chosen type are considered strength O.
    Reckless -- You hand limit is 8 (instead of 10).


Locations

   
Quote
GALACTICA
    Note: A character moving to Galactica from Colonial One or a piloted Viper must discard a skill card.

    FTL Control
    Action: Jump the fleet if the jump preparation track is not in the red zone. Roll a die; if the result is 1-6, lose a number of population indicated on the fleet’s space on the jump preparation track.

    Weapons Control
    Action: Attack one Cylon ships with Galactica. Roll 3-8 to hit a raider, 7-8 to hit a heavy raider, and 5-8 to hit a Basestar.

    Command
    Action: Activate up to two unmanned vipers. An activation can be used to a.) launch a viper from either of the two launch zones, b.) move an unmanned viper to an adjacent space area, or c.) fire an unmanned viper’s weapons (3-8 to hit a raider, 7-8 to hit a heavy raider, 8 to hit a Basestar).

    Communications
    Action: Look at the back of 2 civilian ships. You may then move them to adjacent area(s). Only the player taking the action may look at the back of the ships.

    Admiral’s Quarters
    Action: Choose a character; then pass a Tactics/Leadership Skill Check of 7 to send him to the “Brig.” Characters in the “Brig” can only add 1 skill card to skill checks, and being in the Brig prevents a Cylon from doing any damage if he reveals himself.

    Research Lab
    Action: Draw 1 engineering OR 1 tactics Skill card.

    Hangar Deck
    Action: Launch yourself in a viper. You may then take 1 more action. You must be in the Hangar Deck to use a “Repair” skill card action on damaged Vipers.

    Armory
    Action: Attack a centurion on the Boarding Party track (destroyed on roll of 7-8),

    Sickbay
    You may only draw 1 Skill Card during the Receive Skills step of your turn. A character can (and should) move out of sickbay during the Movement step of his turn.

    Brig
    You may not move, draw Crisis Cards, or add more than 1 card to skill checks.
    Action: Pass a Politics/Tactics Skill Check of 7 to move to any location.

    COLONIAL ONE
    Note: A character moving to Colonial One from Galactica or a piloted Viper must discard a skill card.

    Press Room
    Action: Draw 2 politics Skill Cards.

    President’s Office
    Action: If you are President, draw 1 Quorum Card. You may then draw 1 additional Quorum Card or play 1 from your hand.

    Administration
    Action: Choose a character; then pass a Politics/Leadership Skill Check of 5 to give him the President title. Revealed Cylons may not be given the President title.

    CYLON LOCATIONS
    Note: These locations may only be used by a revealed Cylon player.

    Caprica
    Action: Play your Super Crisis Card or draw 2 Crisis Cards, choose 1 to resolve, and discard the other. There are no Activate Cylon Ships or Prepare for Jump steps during this Crisis.

    Cylon Fleet
    Action: Activate all Cylon ships of one type, or launch 2 raiders and 1 heavy raider from each basestar. Activating heavy raiders will advance the centurions one step on the boarding party track, even if there are no heavy raiders on the board.

    Human Fleet
    Action: Look at any player’s hand, and steal 1 Skill Card (place it in your hand). Then roll a die, and if 5 or higher, damage Galactica.

    Resurrection Ship
    Action: You may discard you Super Crisis Card to draw a new one. Then, if distance is 7 or less, give your unrevealed Loyalty Card(s) to any player.


Skills(The numbers in parentheses are the range of possible values of that card in a skill check)

   
Quote
Politics
    (1-2) Consolidate Power: Action: -- Draw 2 Skill Cards of any type, even outside skill set on Character Sheet.
    (3-5) Investigative Committee: Play before cards are added to skill check. All are played face up including from Destiny Deck.

    Leadership
    (1-2) Executive Order: Action -- Choose another player who takes 2 actions, or moves and takes 1 action. Cannot use on a revealed Cylon or Sympathizer. Limit 1 per turn (Errata).
    (3-5) Declare Emergency: Use after skill check is totaled. Reduces difficulty by 2. Cannot reduce partial pass difficulty. Limit 1 per skill check.

    Tactics
    (1-2) Launch Scout: Action: -- Can only use if there is an undamaged Raptor in the reserves. Roll die 3 or higher look at top Crisis or Destination Card and place on top or bottom of deck. Otherwise, destroy a Raptor and remove it from the game.
    (3-5) Strategic Planning: Play before a die roll to add 2 to result. Limit 1 per die roll.

    Piloting
    (1-2) Evasive Maneuvers: Play after a Viper is attacked to reroll. If Viper is piloted subtract 2 from the new roll.
    (3-5) Maximum Firepower: Action: -- Play while piloting a Viper to attack up to 4 times.

    Engineering
    (1-2) Repair: Action: -- Repair your current location, or if in the Hangar Deck repair up to 2 damaged Vipers.
    (3-5) Scientific Research: Play before any cards are added to a skill check. All Engineering cards count as positive strength.



Also, a set of rules specific for online play, also shamelessly ripped from SA(with some minor modifications).

Some things have been tweaked to help facilitate online play:

    At the bottom of every GM post, there will be a helpful Action Queue that announces what we are waiting for to continue the game. This will usually be the current player's move/action, but could also include such things as a decision from the President/Admiral.

    All game actions should be bolded in Mafia style (eg: ##move to Communications or ##use "Executive Order" on Helo).

    All face-down cards, including Quorum Cards and Skill Cards will be delivered to the players via PM. If your draw is straightforward (eg: Adama) your cards will be auto-drawn for you at the beginning of your turn. Players with multi-skills (eg: Apollo) or abilities allowing them to draw cards (eg: Baltar) need to post in the thread what type of card they are drawing (eg: ##draw 1 Politics 1 Engineering). Discards are to be posted openly in the thread.

    Skill Checks are handled slightly differently than in the regular rules. Players must announce the number of cards they are playing in the thread, then PM me the specific cards they are playing. This can be done in any order. Once everyone has PMed me, the check will be resolved.  Turn order per the official rules will be applied on any potentially game-ending skill checks, and may be invoked on skill checks from locations at the current player's discretion.  If we have too many issues with people waiting to see what other people do before playing, I may adjust this to enforce turn order at all times.  This will likely slow the game down considerably so please do not do this.

    You may "pre-load" actions ahead of time; (eg: If my Viper is attacked, I'll use "Evasive Maneuvers".) This should be done via PM.

    Players do not choose the order in which Cylon ships are activated, as in the normal rules. Instead, ships are activated starting from the leftmost sector and proceeding clockwise around Galactica.


In addition to the Secrecy Rules on p. 20 of the rulebook, these rules are specifically for online play:

    Players may not edit their posts.

    Players may not quote anything from PMs or IMs. This includes cards and messages from the mod.

    DON'T EDIT YOUR POSTS

There will be no out of thread communication allowed except in an IRC room which I will set up, and ONLY if either I am in the room, or all of the players are at least idling in the room.  The idea is that all discussion should be open, every player must at least be able to see everything that's said even if they can't participate in the discussion at that time. 

Discards and cards played will be open in the thread, but per the rules players are not actually allowed to look at the discard piles.  This will be simulated by me occasionally editing posts and removing the discards/played cards.  I will leave them up for at least one turn so all players have a chance to see them.
Title: Re: Battlestar Galactica Game Thread(Don't post yet!)
Post by: Yakumo on January 01, 2013, 06:54:39 PM
Welcome to Battlestar Galactica!  I hope you have fun running for your lives or exterminating fleshbags, whichever you happen to be going for. 

Remember, there may be zero, one, or two Cylons in the game prior to reaching distance 4.  After that is reached, the remaining loyalty cards will be dealt out, so both Cylon loyalty cards will be in play.

I will update the first post at the beginning of every turn, but I will not be posting the board in other update posts.  The text update will be in each turn's update as well as kept updated in the first post.

The IRC room for this game will be #BSGgame on Lunarnet.  For now feel free to talk in there openly as long as I'm in there, and I can copy and paste information to other players.  We'll figure out how that's going to work as we go, but I don't want to slow the game down too much by forcing everything to be in the thread.

Good luck!

Oh, by the way.  Please confirm that you have received a PM from me with your starting hand.

Post by: Yakumo on January 02, 2013, 09:36:59 PM
President Baltar decides to take matters into his own hands and opens fire on the Cylon Basestar.  Unfortunately, he has no idea how the weapon controls work and his shots fly harmlessly into deep space.

Die roll=2, Miss

Hoping to distract the president from the weapons console, an officer brings him a report of a nearby planet that may have Tylium, the resource they need to fuel the fleet.

==> Nitori: Choose skill check or die roll



Since this is the first time a skill check has come up, quick explanation of the way I've written it up there.  The types of skill cards I've listed are the ones that count as positive for this check.  Any card type that is not listed counts as negative.  The target number is the total amount you need to reach in order to pass the skill check.  Hope that's clear enough.

Also, I realize that there are cards that can adjust die rolls.  I made an executive decision not to wait for them on this particular roll(mostly because I didn't think about it until after I made the Hatbot roll and it's too low to salvage. <_<).  For the future, if you want me to give people time to play a card that can adjust the die roll, say something suggesting that it be played.  If you don't say anything, I'll assume you don't care and will move right along.

Turn 2

While the report does keep the President from pressing more random buttons, unfortunately the fleet spends just as much fuel on the way to the planet as they are able to pick up.  Also, while they were traveling, the fleet's leadership suddenly realized that their Admiral is nowhere to be found.

Die roll=5, no fuel lost.  Admiral Helo is not on the ship and cannot move/take an action.

Discreet searches for the Admiral's location begin, but there are other issues that also need to be dealt with.  Rumors about possible Cylons hiding on the ship are spreading like wildfire.  President Baltar's Cylon detector is nearing completion, however...

Remember, to play into a skill check, put the number of cards you are going to play in the thread, then send me a board PM with the exact cards.  Also, don't forget the secrecy rules.  You cannot say what type of skill card you're playing or what the strength on it is.  You can say things like "I can only help a little" or "I can cover most of this".  Also, for reference, if you fail this and Apollo goes to sickbay, the viper he's piloting goes into the reserves.

Since nobody else played based off your card, I'll allow it.  Watch what you're saying though, you're kinda breaking secrecy rules.  If it wasn't for the fact you could only have one type of card in your hand that would be too much information.

(for the record since I already removed the discards, the reason you guys can tell he has engineering left is that his initial three draws were tactics/piloting/engineering and his discards were tactics/piloting)

Turn 4

Against the doctor's orders, Apollo drags himself out of bed and down to the communications room.  He warns the civilan fleet about the raiders in the air, and the fleet moves away from the enemy and down to the protection of Galactica's Vipers.

Unfortunately, on the penal ship Astral Queen, the prisoners have revolted.  They have taken hostages, and are demanding that Gaius Baltar resign from the presidency immediately.

I already said it in the IRC channel but I'll say it again here that I think it's pretty fair to say Alex is a big 'ol Cylon. There's only two people who played more than one card, and I'm only Pilot/1 with no Eng/. Given I've tossed some Piloting cards in the past, I couldn't have played in that many negatives.

That sure is a Pol/Lead/Tac 10 check right after having a Pol/Lead/Tac 11 check.

Well, uh.

I have a grand total of one card in my hand of two that'd even help, and it's dirt-low. It's also an card which I think is probably best saved in case of emergency for its effect! So I am probably sitting out of this one.

I have no way to help on this, because I just used my cards that would help, also I am not a Cylon and strongly suspect Stelas is!
Fortunately this seems like a good check to slack on - there's no resource loss involved, and we can just get Andy out with an easier check.  I suggest nobody play anything on this, unless Andy's new cards are super awesome and he wants to solo out of it or something.

I mentioned it briefly in IRC but I'll say it again here to be sure everyone sees it.  Preloading your play in the thread defeats the purpose of playing cards in turn order.  I'm not going to worry about it too much this time since consensus seems to be to fail this intentionally, but if you want to preload your play in the future, do it by sending me a PM.

Admiral Agathon immediately orders the fleet to jump.  Upon their arrival, there is a brief moment of panic as one of the civilian ships seems to have been lost during the rushed jump.  Luckily, they merely jumped late and show up a few minutes later.

Stelas activates FTL control, rolls 4.  ECO Officer is used, the die is rerolled and comes up 8.  No population loss.  All ships are removed from the board.  Starbuck is placed in the Hangar Bay.  Stelas was given two destinations to choose from and picked Barren Planet.  Travel 2 distance, lose 2 Fuel.

Not long after the jump, Admiral Agathon receives reports of a strange woman on the ship that nobody has been able to identify.  Is it a Cylon infiltrator or just a civilian who went unnoticed during the rush to escape?

Oh, I should clarify.  You can have more than 10 cards in your hand, but if you have more than 10 cards at the end of any player's turn, you have to discard down to 10.  Unless you're Chief Tyrol, in which case that limit is 8 per his drawback.

Turn 8/9 - Current Board (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/bvh18/BSG/Turn9_zps30b0769c.png)

With Apollo's help, President Baltar is able to convince the rest of the civilian leadership that Chief Tyrol's alibi for the time of the Cylon sabotage is airtight.  Chief Tyrol is not only released, but placed in charge of the scouting team for the next FTL jump.

Lady Door played Executive Order on Nitori.  Nitori activated the President's Office twice, drawing two cards and playing Presidential Pardon and Assign Mission Specialist, both on AndrewRogue.

Presidential Pardon - ACTION: Move any other player from the "Brig" to any other location on Galactica.

Assign Mission Specialist - ACTION: Draw 2 Politics cards and give this card to any other player.  Keep this card in play.  The next time the fleet jumps, this player chooses the destination instead of the Admiral.  He draws 3 Destination Cards(instead of 2) and chooses 1.  Then discard this card.


Not long after Chief's release, the DRADIS radar system picks up multiple contacts.  The Cylons have tracked down the human fleet, and to make things worse, they have jammed the fleet's communications, leaving several civilian ships in danger with no way to warn them.  Vipers are immediately launched to try and protect the fleet.

While President Baltar and Admiral Agathon deal with the water shortage, Apollo is in a massive dogfight in front of Galactica.  He manages to avoid attacks from several Raiders, but his Viper is eventually taken out.  He manages to land his damaged Viper and is rushed to Sickbay.  Unfortunately, the civilians on the ship he was trying to protect were not so lucky.

Raider attack rolls: 5(Lady Door plays [card removed]), 5(-2), 5(Stelas plays [card removed]), 2(-2), 3, 1, 7(Viper damaged).  No more Vipers to attack, sixth Raider destroys the civilian ship.  Two population is lost.  The remaining three Raiders move to the lower left sector.

Turn 16 - Current Board (http://i.imgur.com/VLVeW92.jpg)

President Baltar decides that the fleet's jump calculations must be good enough by now, and goes to FTL control to directly order the fleet to jump.  All of the civilian ships are able to make the jump successfully.

The d8 roll was 7, no population loss for the jump.  AndrewRogue picked the Remote Planet destination as the Mission Specialist.  The Mission Specialist card is discarded.  Both Cylon Attack crisis cards are also discarded due to the jump.  All ships are removed from the board, Apollo is relocated to the Hangar Bay.  Distance 4 has been reached, you have entered the sleeper phase.  There are now either two Cylons or one very unlucky and ticked off Cylon with both Cylon loyalty cards.

The press have been hounding Admiral Agathon since the jump, demanding to know what went wrong that allowed a civilian ship to be destroyed by the Cylons.

Good news, everybody!  I'm not a Cylon!  That means you'll let me back on board, right?  Right?  .... guys?

More importantly though, that means one of you IS now a Cylon.  Hello, buddy!  Welcome to the winning team.  Let's plan.  Don't blow your cover yet, unless you see a REALLY juicy opportunity (and there won't be many of those without ships on the board or some better crisis cards, sigh).  Be careful with sabotage.  Learn from my mistakes, it may be better to go limp and play positive but weak, rather than outright sabotaging checks. 

If you're Nitori/Baltar:  Baltar will of course be using his OPG loyalty check on the Admiral as soon as he gets an action, which thankfully is an entire turn cycle away unless the meatbags get frisky with Executive Orders.  Unless there's some big advantage to be gained from an accusation, it would probably be better to claim Helo's clean and keep suspicion high.  Maybe.  Even though they'll have a guaranteed human admiral, there isn't much we can really do about that anyway, and a Cylon president sowing dissent can be mighty fine, depending on what quorum cards you have.  Arrest Orders are particularly good.  BE CAREFUL about President Chooses crisis cards though, remember that Helo's OPG can reverse your choice, so that isn't a good avenue to soft reveal.

If you're Stelas/Helo:  Baltar will be checking you once his turn rolls around, but you go right after him so that isn't a big deal.  I don't know how likely it is that you'll be able to survive as Admiral to a jump, but prooobably you should stick around at least until you can get a juicy hit with your OPG?  Like, don't blow it here and reveal, that seems kind of weak unless you have a really good reveal that you think will do more damage than your OPG.

If you're LD/Apollo:  You get a free action whenever vipers come out, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.  Maybe Launch Scouts for us, or just reveal?  Your OPG isn't very useful to us unless a big attack hits.  I'll be in touch if this happens.

If you're Andy/Tyrol:  Your OPG can basically autofail a skill check for us and that's great.  I can't think of anything else you can do that's great for us though so maybe just tank a check, sabotage a check and get over here.  Use your best judgment.  Unfortunately force-failing my Super Crisis isn't that good, so don't sit around waiting for that.

Semper Pi, robot friend.

Like, don't blow it here and reveal, that seems kind of weak unless you have a really good reveal that you think will do more damage than your OPG.

In my defence, I'd actually forgotten that looking at a player's cards was an Action - I'd had it in my head that it was a no-action move that could mean an instant brigging. In any case, I was probably next on the chopping block with middling draws and a really, really good reveal condition that just put two people in Sickbay. So I think it works out.

Maximizing possible card draw is ideal. Our goal for the remainder of the game is to basically have cards. So, drawing cards, Executive Ordering, etc would be handy. Repairs are also good, but I don't think you draw Engineering.

Galactica's engineering team just doesn't have the extra manpower to get any useful information or parts from the enemy's debris.

Lady Door chose the roll with Strategic Planning.  The roll was 8, no effect.

Still incensed because of the former Admiral's apparent disregard for their lives, the civilians of the fleet have begun rioting.  Admiral Adama has to decide whether or not to send in the troops to quell the uprisings.

Sir Alex moves to Caprica, is given two crisis cards and chooses one to play.

Chief Tyrol's repair efforts continue, as the damage to the Armory has been repaired and the small arms lockers can now be accessed again.  Meanwhile, President Baltar attempts to address the growing supply problem, but is unable to convince the Quorum that conditions are bad enough to require rationing.

Nitori plays Food Rationing.  Action: Roll a die.  If 6 or higher, gain 1 food and remove this card from the game.  Otherwise, no effect and discard this card.  d8=3, the card is discarded with no effect.

In the meantime, the press has somehow learned the details of the Cylon infiltration of the fleet.  They plan to release the information to the public whether the leadership likes it or not.  The remaining members of the fleet's leadership quickly try to form a plan to convince the civilians that they have everything under control.

President Baltar orders a Raptor to scout ahead of the fleet to see what they're headed into.  The Raptor reports problems ahead, so the fleet changes course slightly to avoid it.

Nitori plays Launch Scout, rolls 4.  He chooses to bury the Crisis card.

Tensions are high now that the information about Cylons appearing human has become common knowledge.  Accusations are flying, and it seems like everyone in the fleet has been accused of being a Cylon at some point or another.

Since everyone knows who the Cylons are and so nobody is going to get suspicion from having to change the number of cards they play, for the rest of this game I'm going to reset skill checks if anyone plays a card that should have been played before the check(Scientific Research, Investigative Committee).  In the case of Investigative Committee, in the interest of fairness I am going to enforce turn order on a check that card is played for.  I still highly recommend preloading these cards so the game doesn't get slowed down, however!

Turn 25 - Current Board (http://i.imgur.com/8t3maTm.jpg)

Neither Apollo nor Chief Tyrol are content to sit around in Sickbay while the ship falls to pieces around them.  Apollo jumps in his Viper to go meet the enemy head-on, and Chief Tyrol gets his repairs crews moving to repair the damage to the ship in record time.

In the midst of all this, a junior officer brings a report to Chief Tyrol's attention, as Admiral Adama is currently unavailable.  They managed to access the destroyed Raptor's logs and have determined that the planet Apollo had been scouting has water available on it.  However, they still aren't sure why the Raptor went down in the first place, so going near it may be dangerous...

Alarms blare as even more Cylon ships approach the fleet's location.  The Galactica has only just finished it's own FTL calcluations and there's no guarantee that the civilian ships are ready to jump.  Admiral Adama must decide whether to take that risk or hope they can protect the fleet long enough for everyone to jump safely...

The Basestar attack rolls were both 1.  No damage to Galactica.  7 Raiders, 1 Heavy Raider, 3 Civilian Ships, and 2 Vipers are added to the game board.

The FTL jump is made mostly without incident, but the jump landed in an asteroid field and one of the civilian ships jumps directly into an asteroid, destroying it instantly with all aboard lost.

Lady Door chose Asteroid Field as the destination.  Distance 3.  Lose 2 Fuel.  Then draw 1 Civilian ship and destroy it, losing the resources on the back.  The civilian ship had 1 Population.

Admiral Adama finds himself wondering just what exactly President Baltar has been up to, hiding out on Colonial One for the entire voyage.  After all, who has been handling the jumps and keeping the civilians safe?  Certainly not Baltar.  The thought of just relieving Baltar of his position crosses his mind...

My inclination is to say the morale? I believe we still have to deal with population loss on the last jump, so we need a bit of room to shield it. But mmm. Nitori has been being a decent president.

Do you have any useful quorum in the forseeable future, prezzy?

For what it's worth, I'm okay with the downside to the -1 Pop. I just don't want to lose anymore population. We're screwed if we bottom out in any of the categories, though, right? So hell if I know what our "safest" option is. Especially since this crisis won't even advance our jump prep.

Chief Tyrol finally gets around to repairing Admiral Adama's quarters.  Admiral Adama decides to celebrate the event with a speech and an impromptu fireworks show.  Unfortunately, people were too distracted by the explosions to listen to him talking.

AndrewRogue repaired the Admiral's Quarters and used his extra action to play Executive Order on Lady Door.  Lady Door plays Inspirational Speech with her first action.  Roll=3, no effect and card is discarded.  Her second action is to launch a Nuke.  Roll=8, Basestar destroyed(3 Raiders would also have been destroyed but were not present).  One Nuke Token remains.

Shortly after the celebration, a civilian ship which had gone missing on a previous jump mysteriously reappeared.  It isn't answering when Galactica tries to contact it, however, and scans are indicating the presence of nuclear material onboard...

Baltar brings the shortage of water to Apollo's attention.  The two work long into the night on a solution, only to be contacted by one of the civilian ships.  The other ship had made a paperwork error, and it turns out the fleet's supplies were actually exactly as expected.

You can't miss destroying raiders with that card, the roll is to see if you lose population as well.  Also, you need to tell me which group of raiders you're targeting.  I mean, I'm pretty sure I can guess but there are possible reasons you would want the other.

You already hit the fuel token and it doesn't get shuffled back in, so you actually can't kill them with one lucky Basestar shot, I'm afraid.  There's still fuel on a civvie somewhere though.

Sounds good to me...

Alright, Andrew. It looks like it's mainly you and me. How do you feel about making the check? I can get us a third to a half of the way there, but I'll have to use a card or two that could come in handy later to do so. If I hang onto those cards, my ability to help drops to pitiful, putting about 80% of the remaining effort on you.

Our morale is dangerously low already and I'd had to see it drop anymore, but even if we didn't have to worry about the Cylon contributions I'm not sure what we'd have to do in order to meet it would be worth it (or, frankly, if we can even meet it!).

I realize that this is an important check and I'm fine with letting you guys take the time to discuss it and make an informed decision and all.  That said, there isn't a whole lot of communication going on here either.  I'm going to put a bit of a deadline on this.

I work in the morning tomorrow, so I'll be home around 2:30 EST, just before noon PST.  A little less than 24 hours from now.  If there has been no discussion or cards played, I will consider that your way of saying that you aren't playing into the check, and will update accordingly.

If there's discussion ongoing or anyone has played, the deadline for additional input is 24 hours from the last post.  If you go 24 hours with no activity, the check will be considered over and I will update accordingly.

The Cylons have a huge numbers advantage in the dogfights behind the Galactica, and they are finally able to land enough shots to take down Apollo and his wingman.  The group of fighters near the front of the ship don't fare much better.  They've managed to protect the civilians so far, but they can't hold on much longer...

Turn 36 - Current Board (http://i.imgur.com/GAhviPw.jpg)

Having lost his Viper, Apollo decides to just use Galactica instead and orders the ship to fire on the Raiders behind the ship.  While the shots only hit one of the enemy ships, the barrage does keep them from being able to immediately follow the civilian ships that had left the area.

d8 roll for Weapons Control was 8, one Raider is destroyed.

An investigation has been ordered to determine exactly what had happened to the water tank which recently exploded.  The preliminary findings seem to indicate that it was sabotage, but nothing is certain yet...

##Play 1

I don't think it matters though.  With this being Heavies+JP, the -JP crisis already gone, and only one civvie potentially at risk, it's nearly impossible for Team Cylon to pull this out.  We'd need to hit -2 to a resource or some other source of -JP on Stel's turn, and there are only a handful of ways to do that, most of which are already gone.  :sadrobot:

Well, Andrew, I was hoping Stelas would choose to play a card (or reveal that he wasn't) before going into that, but sure, yes, we should probably miss it.

Though managing a 6+ would be nice, just to give us a little more buffer room.

Alex may be all sad robot, but it still is possible for us to lose before we can win. </wisdom of the ages>

The investigations are begun but are unable to turn up any evidence implicating anyone.  The official statement is that the bomb was placed long before, while the Cylon agents were still on Galactica, and that there is nothing further to worry about.  This calms the civilians, for now.

I've been really busy lately and I'm going to be out of town this weekend again, starting in about half an hour from now.  It's a bit anti-climactic, but I'm just going to call it here.  With Stelas choosing Caprica as his action, there is no way the Cylons can win except for the humans being too stupid to hit the "I Win" button, which I kinda doubt will happen.  The crises coming up can't take population down to 3 or any other resource to 0, meaning hitting FTL control will be a Human victory.

I'd have liked to play it out to the end the way it would happen at the table but things have just been a bit crazy lately.  Sorry for anyone this disappoints.

I'll do a little bit of discussion about how this game went when I have more time, which will probably be Sunday.  I appreciate all of you guys joining in and I hope you enjoyed the game.
