Battlestar Galactica: Season 5 ~ GM Jacobs revenge

[randakar]

I already drew your qourum card and was going to pm it with the rest of your cards. Kriszo I can send his cards but didn't draw anyone elses yet as lord strange is 2nd in the order and should in theory get his cards 2nd so I haven't drawn anyone elses beyond kriszos.

Draw order can be more or less ignored, I think. Sure, it theoretically changes peoples' hands a bit, but since these are shuffled decks the draws shouldn't be any less random

edit: It wouldn't be the first time this sort of thing happened, I tended to do that a lot last game .. it's a bit of a judgement call though, if you think proceeding will possibly affect a decision that whoever we're waiting for has to make then waiting is fine, too.

Action queue:
GM~Send out cards
Lord Strange~Select card draw
Kriszo~Do turn upon getting cards


Card draws are public information, so announce them in the thread please.
Also, please don't be afraid to send in standing orders or preloads. Especially for things like Starbucks optional draw it is highly recommended, since stuff like that can delay the game needlessly.

I do not mind people preloading actions publicly. Feel free to do so. Sending in preloads by PM is equally fine, of course. See also the secrecy rules mentioned in the first post ..


NO PMING OTHER PLAYERS ABOUT THE GAME UNLESS SUCH TIME THAT ALL POSSIBLE CYLONS HAVE REVEALED. WE HAVE NO SYMPATHIZER SO IF AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME 2 CYLON CARDS ARE REVEALED PEOPLE CAN PM BUT UNTIL THEN PLEASE ONLY PM ME.



LOOK RIGHT Rand?

 

[randakar]

Looks fine to me
(Now you know how much work it is to run this, though.)

 

[Jopi]

Regarding the PM rule: revealed as in really officially revealed or revealed as in moving-civilians-to-same-sector-with-raiders revealed?

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

If it is so insanely obvious and the cylon is now mocking people despite not officially revealing then that works also.

 

[randakar]

Considering this turn - it may be nice to have Saintis (Starbuck) start his turn in space so he has two actions. However, he needs an XO for that and Saintis is dead last in the turn order. Worst case scenario we have jumped before that. So we are probably better off waiting a few turns.

I guess Adama can move to Pegasus and shoot some raiders with the main batteries, or just move (main batteries are still good) and scout. It will be a while before those raiders reach the civvies.

edit: wait, it's the Chief's turn, not Adama .. doh

 

[randakar]

The Chief doesn't draw TAC, so scouting is out of the question for him. There are only 3 people drawing that color - Adama, Helo, and Starbuck. Helo can't take actions while stranded, but we do want Saintis in space at some point.

So if Kriszo wants to see someone scout it has to be an XO on Saintis or LS.
Otherwise there aren't a lot of options right now. Moving to research lab or press room and drawing cards mayhap. Or XO me - that gets me to the president office early, though it's not as efficient as it would be when I'm already there ;-)


edit: ( To be fair I might just activate the research lab for some TAC cards - farming some strategic planning cards never hurts. )

But I would recommend scouting whenever we can, really.

 

[Kriszo]

I move to Pegasus Main Batteries (discarding 1-XO in the process) and fire at the toasters. I'm not sure if we need an SP for this as there is no risk of collateral damage, but we surely have more chance of destroying them if someone plays one. I obviously don't have any.

EDIT: @randakar: I was writing my action and had to pause, so I didn't see what you wrote, but you were suggesting this one anyway, right?

 

[randakar]

It's a very valid option, but I really prefer scouting whenever we can.
Remember last game? One of the turns somebody shot a basestar (Jopi, I believe), only to have a new basestar and a bunch of raiders pop up in a massive attack crisis.

Anyway, I don't have any TAC cards so:

## No strategic planning from me

Be careful there Kriszo, the Main Batteries can backfire and damage Pegasus.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Gm reminder, adama/strange hasn't gotten cards and can choose to draw up to 2 tac so we might be delayed until they show up.

Action Queue
Strange to pick his 3 starting cards and play/not play SP if he has one.
Eternaly lost+Saintis to declare SP or not. No one else draws/has tac atm.

 

[Kriszo]

Right, but we can't just scout with every action. Besides, as I don't draw TAC, it would be complicated (with an XO or something)

Be careful there Kriszo, the Main Batteries can backfire and damage Pegasus.

Nope, thats CIC. This could damage a civ or a viper in the sector, but there aren't any.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Just letting you guys know there will be a brief pause this weekend for me due to going up north. Depending on the timing we can avoid actually missing much at all. I can preload a crisis or 2 with a 3rd party to post them here for you guys and do the same with a card draw perhaps or the DD for a crisis. We might be able to avoid any real slow down if we can get a 3rd party to briefly help.

 

[randakar]

Hmn, I really am having some issues with mixing things up today, aren't I?


edit: It would be complicated, true. However, given how important jump prep is in this game it really is very important we do it as often as we can.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

NO SP from me.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

As much as I don't think it needs to be said, I should still preload my turn as there is only things I can do on my turn is draw cards and pass to the next player.

Preload draw cards and do nothing

My apologies for the off-topic post.

Werewolf XCVII:

DCCCXV:
LOST, The Others.





You where on Oceanic Flight 815, from Sidney to LA. Now you're on a beach. One piece of the plane is lying about 100 meters away from you. There are other people on the beach, some are hurt, some not. Some are dead. A couple of hours later the people that are not dead have gathered up, the wounded have been bandaged and helped as best as possible. There seems to be a doctor amongst you.
Someone has found the passenger list. When you count the people allive and the bodies of the dead, there seem to be more people than are on the list. That's weird....
​

Roles will be handed out Tuesday evening (tomorrow) so be quick if you wanna join ;-)

It's still a while until your turn hits isn't it?
But yeah, it pretty much boils down to draw cards and draw a crisis.

edit: Jacob still wants you to say whether you play a Strategic Planning on this, I think.
