BSG Season 8 - Exodus to the Promised Land!

[Eternaly_Lost]

Who knows, the DD may be with us...

Btw, we are aiming primarily at avoiding the fail though the Iron Will that I put there. We can't lose any more morale.

I will come down on this however. Reis91, you are never allowed to in anyway confirm what cards you put into a skill test. Given that Iron will is played into a skill test, you are never allowed to say that you have one. You can say that someone should Iron will it, but you are not allowed to say that you have played an Iron will into the test.

Eh? I don't think it is the first time... but if you want, I'll do a quick edit.

Other people have seen it by now, so leave it, but keep in mind that the rules are very clear on that. You are only allowed to state that you have a card for a purpose, however you are never allowed to confirm in anyway what card you put into a skill test. Iron Will are only used in skill tests, so they are not allowed. DE and SP are played outside of skill tests (Not mixed in with the other cards after you play them) so those it is ok to say that you have to use.

Yes and I would agree with you if that edit in was more then 5 minutes after he made the post. 5 Minutes would be enough time for him to go update his card list and realize that he had an G&I that he could play, making it still around the time he played the cards. Anything after that would be no go, as that meant he was second guessing his play.

Understood.

 

[Jopi]

1 card.

How big do I need to go on this? I've got a big and a few smalls, what do the humans think? (I could also GI it)

 

[reis91]

No need to guts, but play it safe. Overshooting a bit isn't that bad. Jopi is probably playing strong, since he picked the discard. Dunno about sbr. We played around 2 weak worth so far.

 

[unmerged(245849)]

one weak and one strong

Hello, mind making a quick play before you go?

sbr plays 1 card

[b]TAC/ENG = 8[/b]
Engineering-3 (Scientific Research)
Tactics-1 (Launch Scout)
Tactics-2 (Launch Scout)
Tactics-3 (Strategic Planning)
Tactics-6 (Scout for Fuel)

Leadership-0 (Iron Will)
Leadership-6 (State of Emergency)
Piloting-6 (Best of the Best)
Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Politics-3 (Investigative Committee)
Treachery-2 (Special Destiny)

15 - 19 = -4 FAIL

-1 Morale, an Additional -1 Morale due to Iron will.

Morale is at 0. Humans lose.

sbr/Randakar, Jopi and Tmoiy(Cylons win and Humans have traveled at least 6 distance) all win.

GAME OVER, CYLON VICTORY!

Wow the card draw was a lot more biased than I thought or the RNG is just plain beyond evil this game. And not surprising the 3rd cylon is the key. 5 player games is what we should always play. Most balanced.

 

[sbr]

Good game all.

Thanks for running the game E_L.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Remains of my hand


Treachery-3 (Sabotage)
Engineering-2 (Repair)
Leadership-2 (Executive Order)
Tactics-0 (Trust Instincts)
Leadership-1 (Executive Order)
Politics-1 (Consolidate Power)

Piloting-6 (Best of the Best)
Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Both came from the DD, so if Reis91 had G&I this you would still be going.

I think that 6 is balanced if you use the normal Symphatizer. I think the Symphatizer Cylon is not as good for balance.

GAME OVER, CYLON VICTORY!

Tear. I must say, I was the least effective pilot I've ever seen in a BSG game - two ships down, being CAG and all.

Thanks for GM'ing E_L.

Holy crap, I didn't expect that. That is a lot of six-value cards. Nice job, my fellow cylons.

My cards were terrible in general. Here's what was left of it:
Leadership-0 (Iron Will)
Tactics-0 (Trust Instincts)
Tactics-4 (Critical Situation)

My original loyalty card, which I passed to j-L, was the Final Five card that activated all cylon ships. Could've been quite nasty if that had triggered.

Regarding the sympathetic cylon: I don't think I actually affected things all that much. I never got the chance to really hurt the humans, though I did sabotage a couple checks and try to be generally counterproductive. On my next turn I was going to draw LEA/TAC again and see if I drew enough good cards to execute someone. Otherwise I would use my Critical Situation to reduce population by two. But the humans were already in such hot water that it turned out that I didn't need to. Enough things went wrong for them this game that I'm not sure they would have won even if I had actually been pro-human. I did enjoy hiding my true loyalties and making plots even in the endgame.

(If people are up for it, perhaps the official no-sympathizer variant is also worth trying.)

Good game, everyone! Thanks for letting me join in, and thanks a bunch to EL for being an excellent host.
