BSG Season 7 A New Caprica Too Far?

[Eternaly_Lost]

Can you say that?

It the top card, so no. He only allow to say if it is a good crisis or a bad crisis, and things along those lines.

Also, Admiral title should be passed to someone else as Gezax is in the brig, and he only alllowed to hold it in the brig if there is no one that is not also in the brig. Not sure who just yet. Need to look at the succession charts.

Randakar is now the Admiral. Boomer is next in line.

gezax, if you have an XO, I would not mind taking it so I can let you out.

Eh what? Draw a new crisis for him then?

For those that forgot, here the rules on it:

If a player has the ability to look
at cards on the top of a deck, he may not disclose
specific information about that card.

Key word there is top of the deck, there are a very few cards that let you look at the bottom of a deck, and you can say what you want in those cases.

I would rather not simply draw a new card given the potential to impact the game is bigger than not doing so. Going by the games situation it is a safe bet knowing wont cause any serious impact. The edit was admiral.

Sorry, it's hard to talk about planning without that. I tried to do it properly last time and I ended up having to almost spell it out before people 'got it'.
I won't do it again. At least, not like that.
(I've edited my post on that subject)

From an efficiëncy point of view an XO on EL makes sense. If he's a cylon that would be the ideal time for him to show his colours though.
I need to read back on this game. So far we haven't seen any sabotage - as far as I'm aware - but I'm not sure we can trust everyone at this stage either.

edit: Be aware though, reis does not draw LEA, so we need an XO on either graham on me to deal with the raiders in Delta before reis's turn hits. XO me = Maximum firepower on them, XO graham = repair main batteries so that reis can move over there to activate them.
Therefore if EL does not have an XO (or some way to deal with the raiders, like a Civilian Self Defense or Authorization of Brutal Force card) maybe it's better to not risk the activation with an XO on him - if he then doesn't draw an XO on his turn..

Also - EL, if you do get an XO this turn please make sure to delay letting gezax out until his turn is over.
Otherwise we will still have a crisis on our hands.

Although Reis can't move to the main batteries if I am still there.

Yea, and chief can't use his ability on a XO...

I wasn't counting on that at all. I forgot about your character drawback, though.

Use Galactica's guns twice.

 

[unmerged(245849)]

Use Galactica's guns twice.

Question of clarification: If you use Pegasus or Galatica's guns, do you select the target after you roll? ie, can the target on your first roll depend on whether you get a 7(to attack a heavy) or a 4(and default to the raider)?

Related to this, if there were 3 raiders and a heavy with those civvies, would you rather destroy the heavy and 1 raider or 2 raiders? I'm paranoid about heavies because I lost a game to a boarding party once, which was the worst way to lose.

target before roll

 

[randakar]

Use Galactica's guns twice.

How? Over two separate turns, or what? You can only fire them once if you move there, and that would leave two raiders alive - at best. At worst it does nothing.

Actually that isn't a completely bad outcome - of those civvies I moved we can afford to lose a few. A and C contain very little resources ..

Never mind, thought he was in Weapons control already.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

I cannot remember and the pm must have gotten dumped accidentally with old WW PMs. For a 5 person game this is a bit too slow and I will be subbing out gezax. I think kriszo was asked to stand by if needed to sub this game so if it is him he gets first dibs and I am re-pming him to see but we need a sub who can at least get in every day during a normal week.

Ok, this is the best thing to do here, I can't really be here more frequently.

Nothing personal just that a 5 person game needs more frequent appearances. I wouldn't have a problem with your log in times in a 6 person game.

Deeps on a person's role as well. If you have a title card, you need to be on more often then not.
