Battlestar Galactica Game Thread

[Stelas]

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.

[Ranmilia]

Yeah, Damage Galactica seems solid, and your hand would be empty anyway so... eh can't complain.

[Lady Door]

So, um. Those of you who aren't evil robots in disguise. What do? D:

I have cards in my hand again, thanks to a full draw this turn, and I can do a number of things. But it would be helpful if someone could help me see the whole picture of what our options might be moving forward. What's our goal this round? What can we mitigate? How might we get ahead?

[AndrewRogue]

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.

[Ranmilia]

Thread poke.  Also, ##Preload my turn whenever it comes, draw Piloting and Politics, move to Caprica and activate for two crises.

[Stelas]

I'm about to go on holiday. I'll be back in approx. 36 hours with internet. In the meantime:

##Preload draw Leadership, Tactics. Preload play 0 in all checks until back. If I'm not back by my turn, move to Caprica, activate, allow Alex's choice.

[Lady Door]

Well. I guess that's that then. I was hoping Nitori would comment.

My turn is going to be super unexciting. A blank sky makes for an unexciting turn. But I guess unexciting isn't too bad, given the situation.

Turn 18 - Current Board

The new Admiral Adama orders Chief Tyrol to get the ship repaired immediately.  The Engineering crew start their work in FTL control.  While they're working, someone notices that debris from one of the destroyed Raiders somehow stayed with Galactica when they jumped.  A crew is dispatched to bring the debris in to be analyzed.

Turn 19 - Current Board

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.

Admiral Adama chooses not to send in the troops, opting to allow the riots to run their course.  The rioters eventually disperse, but not before damage is done to the ship's food supplies, which in turn lowers everyone's spirits even more.

[Yakumo]

Turn 20 - Current Board

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.

Play Tactics 1-Launch Scout on crisis deck

[Yakumo]

Nitori, I gave you permission to edit your posts once because you were hitting the quorum deck a bunch and would've quad-posted or something silly.  Not a constant license to edit whenever.  Please be more careful about that.

[Yakumo]

Turn 21 - Current Board

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.
