• You must have PMs enabled to play.
  
• You are expected to check in at least twice per day, preferably around 12 hours apart. If it is your turn to act and it has been more than 12 hours, I will issue a reminder to you. After 36 hours of inactivity, I may make your decision for you. If you are going to be offline for longer stretches of time, please tell us in the thread (or me by PM). If your absence will be longer than a couple days, please find a substitute for that time period. The time requirements will be relaxed on weekends and holidays. If there is active discussion concerning your current turn you will not be rushed.
  
• All communication between players must occur in this thread ONLY.
  
• All game actions should be made in bold or via PM.
  
• Do not edit your posts unless you are quickly fixing a typo immediately after posting. Instead, simply make a new post stating what you would have changed.
  
• Do not quote posts from more than one page back. The game is less fun if some players have perfect memories.
  
• Do not quote anything from my PMs unless it's a card that's about to be public knowledge anyway: for example, a Crisis card you scouted and left on top just before your Crisis step, or the Destination you choose as Admiral. If in doubt, don't quote it and I can post it.
  
• Respect the secrecy rules. Battlestar Galactica is a much less interesting game if the secrecy rules are not closely followed. I suggest everyone take a look at the official "Secrecy Clarifications" document, the last page of the Official FAQ. In particular, you should only describe your contribution to a skill check as "low" or "high"; you may use "medium" only if you contribute more than 1 card.
  
• If you count cards, consider that information as falling under the standard BSG secrecy rules. You may make general statements about Destiny such as "Destiny should be 3/4 positive" but not "Destiny is 2 POL, 1 TAC, and 1 PIL".
  
• This is only my second time doing this; if you think you see something wrong, please yell at me so I can fix it quickly!

• I ask that you put in COs for pretty much anything you can think of. All COs should be sent to me via PM, and be clearly labeled by having "CO" and a description of what the CO is for in the subject line.
  
• I will assume COs accumulate unless you cancel them or obviously contradict them, they expire, or they are obviously no longer relevant (human actions after you reveal as a Cylon, for example).
  
• Do not post public COs under any circumstances; this includes posting bold text when it is not your turn to act.
  
• Under many circumstances, I will not wait for interrupts before executing actions. The following is a (non-comprehensive) list of examples of things for which I will not ask for interrupts (and thus will not have interrupts played on them unless you put in a CO):
  
  Declare Emergency or Change of Plans.
  Strategic Planning on Launch Scout unless there is only one raptor remaining.
  Strategic Planning on attacks by vipers.
  Evasive Maneuvers unless the viper is the last ship protecting a civilian.
  Strategic Planning or Evasive Maneuvers to help the Cylon cause.
  Calculations for any reason. (You must CO me for what you want to use it on, or I will always pass on it.)
  
  
• I will assume that you have a standing CO to pass on any interrupt that you do not hold in your hand. Players are encouraged to put in COs to pass on interrupts that they are holding but do not intend to play. Any COs to pass on interrupts will be resolved once everyone else has already passed, to minimize the amount of information revealed by these COs.
  
• If you have an interrupt-style character ability, then you must put in a CO to use your ability when appropriate. For example, I will not ask if Starbuck wants to use Secret Destiny on every crisis card that is played, but she may put in a CO to pause to let her decide when a crisis card meets certain criteria.
  
• Be very clear when writing your COs. If I feel it is ambiguous, I will let you know and will not execute the CO. Feel free to make them as complicated as you like, as long as they are understandable.
  
• By default Raider Activations will be done in Sector order starting in 1 and ending in 6, and I will have Raiders target unmanned Vipers before Assault Raptors. If you want to change this for your turn, you must tell me before I do the Raider Activations.
  

• If you really, truly must play as Cain, I have a modified version (stolen from the Revelations expansion on BGG) I could try to make work. If I have to. The Characters reference page also contains this modified version.
  
• By default, turn order will NOT be enforced on Skill Checks. Players may play cards in any order they choose. However, turn order will automatically be enforced in the following circumstances: if there is an Investigative Committee in play, activating the Admiral's Quarters, activating the Airlock, attempting to escape the Brig, or any Skill Check that would result in the immediate end of the game. Turn order will also be enforced by request of any player.
  
• You must post in thread Play # when you play cards into a Skill Check.
  
• Interrupt cards should be played as soon as possible; if an interrupt is played after other players have already played in, I will let them revise their contribution.
