btw, I've found another BSG forum game and it has some interesting rules we may want to consider adopting - especially these:

If we can get gm again we might want to just do 5 people next game so we have more subs and fewer players and should be able to guarantee a smoother action. Maybe even try to match up each player with a sub so the game can run better and take some responsibility off the gm by having more 'active' people even though less characters???
Actually, if you want a faster game, 4-5 is better, that way, 1 main and 1 sub are always on call for each player.
Those are all good ideas for the next GM. Who is still not going to be me, I'm sorry to say.

The game is not as well balanced with 4 though, I think. 5 is probably the best number.
And I'm pretty sure we have 1 or 2 subs in the wings anyway. Having subs is not our problem, everyone taking ages to post their actions is ;-)
No worries. I think we can work something out.
I'll need to set up a good google docs spreadsheet for this, though .. might take a bit.

Okay, sorry about the delay, I had to finish an essay.
These are the two DD cards plus the cards I was pm'd.
2 Executive Order
2 Executive Order
2 Consolidate Power
2 Special Destiny
2 Special Destiny
2 Special Destiny
3 Sabotage
1 By Your Command
1 By Your Command
Do I even need to calculate? It passes. Since it was a Reckless check, the special ability on Special Destiny is triggered (but only the maximum one time), so everyone draws 1 Treachery. All humans draw 2 skills, please indicate what skill(s) you want to draw. Randakar is already drawing 1 Leadership 1 Tactics, I have this preloaded. This is public knowledge, you don't need to PM me!
By Your Command is not activated since there are no cylons to activate.

That's 17 ;-)
Clear pass, but passing with 5 if the DD helps is not bad play is it?

hmn .. hold on, was the destiny deck even added to this? I don't see enough cards here.
Politics and Leadership 1 each. Still think you throwing in that 3rd card was a good idea as had that been a - 2, we'd just barely pass it; and I think it's lacking cards. 3 Randy + 3 me + 2 from Herbert + 2 DD ought to be 10 cards if my count is right. Herbert and Jopi ought to post theirs as well.
+2 cards from jopi, as he did play 2 in there - he had two treachery from the discard/draw in the previous crisis. So it aught to have been 12 cards.
Not sure what the destiny deck did there. I only see 6 treacheries so we're definitely missing 2 of them.
The two missing cards:
2 God's Plan
1 By Your Command
No one would be interested in taking over as GM mid-game I guess? I am just not really concentrating on this anymore.
Edit: Never mind, handing over would be even worse than finishing what's left of the game. I'm just getting constantly frustrated by all the errors and hunting them down.

Definite overkill. Could have kept the leadership card, I guess.
Couldn't know the DD would help though. (edit: And we dumped a ton of treachery here, so it's all good.)
@Artell - mind sending me my hand? I want to see if we're still on the same page.

It's probably something about the way that you track this game. Not sure I would be able to do any better.
I wonder how GM's over on http://forums.**************.com/showthread.php?threadid=3340857 track this ..
Still 1 leadership 1 tac please
(I don't see much of a use for engineering currently..)

Question is what the hell the DD was. If one of the two had been replaced by a -4 or -5 card we'd have barely squeaked by this one; and even if we get +1 Treachery again from the Special Destiny; we can "use" those

Well, you should be able to figure out the colors. The only color that I draw that fits the check is an optional leadership draw, and everyone else was humans playing two cards.
I'm thinking the deck didn't put any treachery in there though.
Yeah, it's because I have to use the cards themselves to track the game because the spreadsheet isn't sufficiently complex to fit in the various kinds of treachery cards. Well it might but that would have been a lot of work.
