BSG 36 - Back to Basics

[glasszon]

King, you know if I am a Cylon it would make perfect sense for me to spike this skill check right? Since TheArchduke would see the destiny deck and could work out whether I spiked previous skill checks, yet I didn't spike it.

Falc - I will defer to EL for this since I haven't played for a while, but I thought you can't reveal what you contributed towards the skill check? By saying what I could have played + the 2 DD cards means you indirectly said what you put into this skill check.

I know you didn't spike it, you don't play tac. Or tre or pil for that matter.

I was trying to see if I could lure out a lazy Cylon by giving him an easy target to place blame on by saying the DD is different. Of course, not that Archduke is one, just that it was a decent opportunity.

I was trying to suggest that you not say anything - without actually saying it myself. Which is harder than you'd think without giving it away.

Archduke discards from the DD
Treachery-4 (Violent Outbursts)
Piloting-4 (Maximum Firepower)

And from his hand

Tactics-1 (Launch Scout)

This information will be added to the turn update post

You are not allowed to confirm what you played, but you can guess and say that someone else played another card into the skill test. It is perfectly fine to say that card must have come from that player, and they can deny it. Confirming they played it is a more of a grey area as that moves closer to saying what they played, but so long as you don't do it on many skill checks, I don't see any issue with it, since the only reason you should be accusing a player of playing a certain card is to try and figure out what side they are on.

The person could be lying in reply after all, and the DD could have thrown in the card your accusing them of playing.

The occasional guessing and pointing out what someone played into skill check is fine. Start doing it on every skill check and I say you can't do it any more.

 

[Dexander]

So we could jump or I could XO someone?

 

[Kingepyon]

Jumping works. Better to do it now before an activation. It's also only 1 pop if we miss the roll.

 

[glasszon]

+1 for Jumping, it would hurt if the upcoming crisis had activate basestar and we didn't jump.

King - fair enough, I was totally confused why you thought I was a Cylon lol, guess I haven't played for too long.

 

[TheArchduke]

Jump +1.

 

[Falc]

Go for jump

 

[Dexander]

Move to FTL and discard Leadership-1 (Executive Order)

Activate FTL Control

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Roll is a 6.

-1 population.

The fleet jumps.

3. Special Rule - Relentless Pursuit: Keep this card in play. If the fleet jumps before a civilian ship or basestar is destroyed, reshuffle this crisis into the deck. Triggers and the crisis deck is shuffled, just as soon as I figure out how to do it in Deck manager.

2 destination cards are sent to Kingepyon, who chooses one.

Action Queue
=> Kingepyon Choose a destination
=> Gm figure out how to shuffle crisis deck. Crisis

 

[Falc]

Minor point, but I would like to play my mutiny card before any basestars show up...

So in case anyone has an XO to spare, I would appreciate it.

 

[Eternaly_Lost]

Note for players, since I don't have a good way to shuffle the entire Crisis deck without starting a new game, what I am going to do is randomly place the crisis card (Attack 33) and the bottom crisis card into the Crisis deck by the use of Random.org. Discarded crisises are not shuffled in unless we run out of crisis, so that should be as good as shuffling the entire crisis deck as those are all the cards that have been seen by players.

 

[Kingepyon]

Lets go here:

Cylon Refinery

Distance 2
Lose 1 Fuel. The Admiral may risk 2 vipers to roll a die. If 6+, gain 2 Fuel. Otherwise, damage 2 vipers.

Lets risk it, it's only a repair card to fix them. We should try to get the fuel, though, so if someone has an SP or calculations it would help.

Either no one has an SP or if they do they have preloaded to not to play it, so resolving roll.

Roll is a 4.

2 Vipers Damaged.

Crisis!

[Dexander]

Draw 1 TAC

 

[Falc]

Right, I'm out of ENG cards and I draw nothing else to help... But it would be good to get 6.

ArchDuke, predictions on the DD here? I know every single card in there is positive for this check, but are we likely to get 6 just from the DD?

0 cards
Draw 1 ENG if success

 

[Kingepyon]

0 cards

 

[glasszon]

Waiting for Archduke for his thoughts on the DD, given my turn is coming up shortly I would be happy to get it to a pass with the help of DD so we can get a few more cards, 6 strength for 5 Human cards are worth it.

 

[Dexander]

I got some strong and weak cards for this but I need help or do we just tank it?
