In an attempt to codify the PM rules that we are using, I am adding this to the first post.

I don't like rule number #3 personally as I don't think it adds anything of value (except more bookkeeping). IMO #1 + 2 should be enough.

Rule 3 exists to basically deal with the possible case were the humans are all talking about how many cards they can throw in by PM (or the cylons) and then go an play cards without saying strengths. I don't think that should be allowed, so rather then flat out outlaw that in PMs, I am allowing people to do so if they like, so long as they go and repeat it in the thread. The overall goal is to insure that both sides have access to information that they normally would in a game when it comes to playing IRL. Humans/cylons can either not state strength when they make a play, or do so, but I don't want them to be allowed to state that to half the players but not the other half when it was intended for that to come up in playing cards. When you have a revealed Cylon in play, the humans before him would either blind play, hoping that they did not overshoot or undershoot, or state what they had so the Cylons could decide if they wanted to play based on what he said to the table, knowing that if that human lied he was hurting the later players, and if he was telling the truth, the Cylon might not both playing cards making him waste cards.
With this rule, the humans that talk about what they are going to throw in, have to let the Cylons that go after them what they played if they told the other humans, like in the real board game.
Plus, the humans get some help when the Cylons are plotting if they are going to lightly effect a test or put a lot into it.
Granted, it might not be an issue. If people overall don't like it, then it can be removed from this game or future games, but I think it does do something to bring the game with Private Messages closer to what you get IRL.
I like 3. Especially from a cylon perspective. Part of figuring out how many cards you're supposed to play is based on what other people are playing.
In the board game, the whole group would hear how many cards you're tossing, not just those you want to hear it.
It's also why I've started to discuss strategy in the forum more than in PM.

I am fine with rule 3, there is always going to be trade-offs when we play this game on forum since in F2F you can't talk to people you want privately but you can PM people in forums. To be fair when I first started playing here I am surprised that PM is allowed given the amount of information you can reveal to your other team members without violating secrecy rules.

Now that Kiwi has posted who he giving it to, I am going to throw up the crisis well everyone finishes confirming loyalty.
Yes, given that we are half way home and our tanks are almost overflowing, clearly it is very vital that we scout for fuel right now! We hate to have the pointer point to anything over then full or overfull.
Code:
CRISIS: Scouting For Fuel
Current Player Chooses
Skill check: TAC/PIL = 12
PASS: +1 Fuel
FAIL: -1 Fuel and destroy 1 raptor
OR
Roll a die; if 4 or lower, -1 Fuel
POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump PrepYes, given that we are half way home and our tanks are almost overflowing, clearly it is very vital that we scout for fuel right now! We hate to have the pointer point to anything over then full or overfull.
take the OR option
The consensus seems to be to keep #3. I'm fine with that. We'll see how it goes.

Roll is a 2. Fuel lossed, although I think it hard to tell.

How come 4 raiders are still present in FOXTROT after the jump? Did we got a tracking device on Galactica or something?
Launching Vipers so that the Civvies can get escorted away is indeed a good option. Provided that the Admiral and CAG are still working for Team Human. 
move to command and launch a viper into foxtrot and into echo. And magically discover 2 repair cards.
Rather then discover 2 repair cards, you found Joe's Bar.
Code:
CRISIS: Joe's Bar
Skill check: POL/LEA/ENG = 12
PASS: +1 Morale
FAIL: -1 Morale and the current player is sent to the Brig.
POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump PrepEDIT: I guess the Admiral is going for a drink, the fact that he is an Alcoholic strikes again!
