BSG 29 - Once more unto the breach

[Trinitrotoluen]

FlyingFox can draw 2 skill cards when a Quorum card is played as part of his character's abilities. TheArchduke played one so FlyingFox gets to choose 2 cards for himself. You, ghost, do not gain any extra cards.

But I can see where the confusion comes from when reading TheArchduke's post. I think he forgot add a "FlyingFox, ..." at the start of his second paragraph.

Nevermind then, I played the IC, and I will play Politics-4 (Popular Influence) into the skill check.

You, ghost, do not gain any extra cards.

):

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Play Politics-0 (Force Their Hand)

 

[TheArchduke]

Play Politics-5 (Investigative Committee)

into the skill check.

Play Politics-0 (Force Their Hand)

E_L´s play means I have to play another card, now or get a mutiny card, no?

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

You can decide after all cards in the skill check have been revealed. But thinking about and preloading what to do in each case (pass or fail) wouldn't hurt.

 

[TheArchduke]

Only FlyingFox is missing, no?

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Yes. glasszon doesn't have cards and Kingepyon can't interfere in this check.

 

[FlyingFox2014]

Sorry for delay, been having internet issues damn Cylon Broadband

 

[FlyingFox2014]

From the Quorum played I shall draw 2 Tactics cards please.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Cards sent.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Action Queue:
FlyingFox - play (or don't play) cards

 

[FlyingFox2014]

Whats the status of the cards played in right now ?

 

[TheArchduke]

FlyingFox you can scroll back a page.

Only you are missing.

I played:

Play Politics-5 (Investigative Committee)

into the skill check.

EL

played

Play Politics-0 (Force Their Hand)

Dex

played Zero Cards

Glass can play none.

Ghost played the IC

and Politics-4 (Popular Influence)

King may play none.

So:

Play Politics-5 (Investigative Committee)
Play Politics-0 (Force Their Hand)
and Politics-4 (Popular Influence)

So +9 on a skill check that needs TAC/POL of 7 on the check. The Destiny deck can add a lot of - cards, so if you aim for 3-4 more that would help.

Clear enough?

 

[FlyingFox2014]

Play Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Done

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

POL/TAC = 7
Politics-0 (Force Their Hand)
Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Politics-4 (Popular Influence)
Politics-5 (Investigative Committee)

Treachery-3 (A Better Machine)
Treachery-4 (Violent Outbursts)

11 - 7 = 4 FAIL!

So, TheArchduke must now either play one card face-up into the check or draw a Mutiny card.
Addtionally he is sent to the sickbay (only if he gets out) and 2 TRE are shuffled back into the DD.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Everything going exactly as planned

 

[TheArchduke]

This is .... ridiculous Tre after Tre after Tre...

I will play Politics-1 (Consolidate Power) into the skill check

and play Leadership-4 (Declare Emergency) afte the fact. Off to Sickbay I go.

Congratulations, you are finally out of the Brig -

which means you get a crisis:

CRISIS: Bomb Threat

Current Player Chooses
Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC = 13
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: -1 Morale and draw a civilian ship and destroy it.

OR

Roll a die; on a 4 or less, trigger the FAIL condition of this Crisis.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

So, with this activate raiders and the President kind enough to ensure Glass does not need to spend a turn revealing, we get 3 activate raiders in a row that will pop 9 Civlian ships.

Unless Kingepyon has something he can pull out of a hat, like a Crisis to remove raiders from the game board, this game is over with a Cylon Victory.
