BSG 32 - Everything I can think of!

[Kingepyon]

Discard has been prevented once this turn. All other discards will proceed as normally.

 

[glasszon]

Launch nuke towards Alpha (at the basestar)

Pass on SP, but can we hold to see whether anyone else want to play one?

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

play Tactics-3 (Strategic Planning)

The basestar will dead either way but killing the heavy would be nice.

preload for my action: escort the civvie away

 

[Kingepyon]

Roll is a 3+2 = 5 Basestar destroyed

Dexander moves to quorum chambers: Needs to choose a discard.

TheArchduke plays LS on destination: roll is an 8 (now it shows up, haha) - destination sent

TNT escorts civvie

Eternaly_Lost gives everyone tac (cards will be handed out on discard, so I remember to give dexander one along with everyone else)

Falc action or movement (you're playing the mission, right?)

 

[TheArchduke]

Keep it.

 

[Falc]

Activate location to trigger Mission

 

[Dexander]

discard Tactics-1 (Launch Scout)

 

[Kingepyon]

The Search for Home

Skill Check: 25
Politics, Leadership, Tactics, Engineering

Pass: The card counts as 2 distance. The next time the fleet jumps, place this card next to the earth objective card.

Fail: -1 fuel. Then turn this card facedown on the "Active Mission" space."

 

[Falc]

I've got an At Any Cost, but that's of course also a pretty big help. Also available, All Hands on Deck and Trust Instincts.

BESIDES those, 3 big and a small.

 

[madchemist]

So I have to play at least two cards here due to my hand limit being 8, and I can easily throw in more. I like my strong cards for their text value, but it may well be worth playing one of them anyway.

I'm thinking 1 strong and 3 weak. That should get us very close, if it doesn't put us there already with Falc's play.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

I need to play some cards here as well or I be discarding as well.

2 weak

 

[TheArchduke]

2 strong and 2 weak.

Quite a bit of the way as well, because if someone gonna reveal then now.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Just to remind people:

Character abilities and card abilities that affect Crisis Cards do not affect Mission Cards. Similarly, character abilities and card abilities that affect skill checks do not affect skill checks on Mission Cards. This includes “Investigative Committee,” “Restore Order,” and “Declare Emergency” Cards. Players do not resolve skill check abilities when resolving Mission Cards.

Effects or abilities that limit the number of cards that a player may contribute to a skill check (such as being in the “Brig,” being a Cylon player, or Aaron Doral’s “Vanity” negative ability) do limit the number of cards a player may contribute to skill checks on Mission Cards.

I am tempted to go with zero cards on this since it looks like we have things well in hand.

 

[TheArchduke]

Makes sense. We have 3 people shooting big, if we get a soft reveal it might be now.

 

[glasszon]

Also, Falc, you cannot say you have all hands on deck and trust instincts because they are activated abilities in skill check, so by saying it you would go against the secrecy rules.

At any cost is fine though since it is played before skill check, so mentioning it is alright.

I will go 0 cards as well, more than enough cards into the skill check already.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

0 cards

 

[Falc]

Sorry about breaking the secrecy rules there.

Anyway, let's keep it simple.

4 CARDS

He is perfectly allow to claim to have an All hands on deck or trust instincts to play into the skill test. In my mind that counts as giving a card for a specific purpose. He also allowed to ask if someone has, say, an iron will they can throw into the test. Someone can confirm or deny if they like.

But it also one of those things that should not be abused as noted in the FAQ, as a way to just list off cards.

So, saying you can throw an Iron will into the test, is generally fine. Saying you can throw in, and listing off every card in hand (unless you only got 1 card in hand), is generally not fine. Your also not allowed to confirm that you did, or did not play a card into the test. But if someone says they can throw an Iron will in and none appears, it quite clear what really happened there.

As the GM Kingepyon is free to say he is over the line, but to me he more pushing it right now.
