Oh and btw - since Kriszo played Guts and Initiative on the skill check:

## Skill check is reckless
## No destiny deck cards will be added to this check!


Action queue:
=> Rorschach, Kriszo: Play card(s)
 
24 hours have passed. I'll give the two stragglers one hour before I autoresolve this.
 
The forum wasn't too stable yesterday, which might have effected their activity

Ah, I see.
Rorschach was around yesterday morning though, and he might show up again at the same time so I wanted to wait a little longer.

As for Kriszo .. he was around enough to play Guts & Initiative.
He tried to send me some PM's though - but my mailbox was full. (That kinda sneaks up on me sometimes, sorry.)
Maybe I should really just wait a bit longer.

I'm going to send EL his draw anyway, that shouldn't need to wait for this to resolve.

##1 weak card

Whoever played the repair card on the forum, must be a cylon since it is not really working.

Good to see you here Rorschach. :)

I'm going to go ahead and autoresolve Kriszo to ## play 0 anyway.

Code: 
[b][COLOR="Lime"]LEA[/COLOR]/[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]TAC[/COLOR] = 9[/b]
[COLOR="Lime"]Leadership-5 (Declare Emergency)[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Tactics-1 (Launch Scout)
Tactics-2 (Launch Scout)
Tactics-5 (Critical Situation)[/COLOR]

13 - 0 = 13 PASS!

## Jopi MAY choose one character to send to the brig.
## Raiders activate! No raiders to activate on the board.
## The fleet gains +1 jump prep!

Do brigged people start in the detention on New Caprica?

Good question.
Looking at the rules: I think not.

pegasus rulebook said:
New Caprica Setup
At the beginning of the New Caprica phase, perform the
following in order:
1. Place New Caprica Game Board: Place the New Caprica
game board to the right of the core game board, aligned
with the top edge of the Pegasus game board.
2. Main Game Board: Leave any centurion tokens on the
Boarding Party track in their current position, as well as
any Cylon ships placed in a space area by the Destination
Card. These will remain in place and are unaffected by any
game mechanic until Galactica returns to orbit.
3. Move Humans: Human players move their characters to
“Resistance HQ.”
4. Move Cylons: Cylon players move their characters to
“Occupation Authority.”
5. Move Civilians: Place all (non-destroyed) civilian ships,
including any in space areas by the Destination Card,
in a stack on the “Locked Civilian Ships” box next to the
“Shipyard” location.

Underlined for emphasis.
It feels a bit weird, though.
 
Work is incredibly busy today so I can't check the rulebooks, but it would be really weird if somone could go from sickbay or brig to fully active.

Weird, but it would match the series thematically. Don't forget that between the arrival on New Caprica and the occupation almost a year passes in the series. In fact, boomer is let out of the brig somewhere during that time without much of an explanation.

But if anyone finds a piece of rulebook that disagrees with this feel free to point me at it.

edit: I've found an unofficial FAQ that does adress this. (The official ones don't mention it.)

Unofficial FAQ said:
Q: When the New Caprica phase starts, are players in the Brig moved to Resistance HQ? (thread)
A: Pegasus Rulebook, page 13: All human players (and only humans can be in the Brig, Cylon leaders count as human players) go to Resistance HQ.

That's an 'official answer' apparently. See the thread linked.

Sorry about my absence, the forum is really crazy.
 
For the record, I'm delaying processing until Jopi comes back and tells us if he wants to brig anyone and if so, who.

Jopi, when you decide, feel free to send your loyalty cards to EL with me in the BCC or receivers field. (Might save some time.)

Action queue:
=> Jopi: Choose who you wish to move to the brig, if anyone.
=> Eternaly_Lost: Move, Action. (preloaded)
=> GM/Jopi:: Process preload (sending Jopi's loyalty cards to EL.)
=> GM: Post crisis
=> Eternaly_Lost: Choose crisis skill draw.
 
Cards sent, I won't brig anyone.

Crisis time then.

Code: 
[B]CYLON ATTACK: [U]Cylon Swarm[/U][/B]

1. Launch Nukes 
2. Setup: 
ALPHA: Basestar, 5 Raiders 
BRAVO: 1 Heavy 
DELTA: Civilian 
ECHO: Viper, Civilian 
FOXTROT: Viper, Civilian 
3. Special Rule - Massive Deployment: Keep this card in play until the fleet jumps. 
Each time a basestar launches Raiders or Heavy Raiders, it launches 1 additional of the same type.

Turn update coming up. EL, choose your card draw please :)
 
Looks like the shooting starts again. Battlestations people! And get me out of the frakkin' brig!
 
(There's nothing like a sudden forum upgrade thingy to ruin a good turn update post.. )

## Basestars fire! No basestars close enough to hit anything!
## A bunch of ships jump in!
## The fleet does not gain jump prep!
