Yeah everything he's said has been rather unfriendly, I can get into space easily off of an XO and he chose to not even launch any protection while begging for an XO on the space that could send all of them away.

Everything I do, I do for this fleet full of misguided meatbags. Those who jump to paw at me should be themselves scrutinized.

(It's an interesting paradigm that the people with Cylon Motives actually should be the most helpful out of all of us, because all they have to do is fiddle while the rest of us burn down Rome.)

Doral plays a Consolidate Power :lol: and draws 2 LEA.

DEFCON decreases by 1 and now set to 12.

That'd be good, I can only help very little, and ontop of that won't draw for a while.

Also this is going to put the raiders one away from our 3 unprotected civvies.

I accept, after reviewing the fact that the two people next up in the turn order draw minimal LEA, that I may have made a subpar choice while drinking away this last workday. I'll apologize to the mewling fleshlumps as necessary.

Hopefully Podima and Toshimo both with 8 cards can blow this away, because yeah -2 resources is going to leave us pretty hosed, possibly even the Cylon motive guys could get ruined by resources being low.

At these resource loss rates it could even be over before we get new motives!

Anyway, what I play into the check is conditional on Podima, if he goes by what he said earlier and wants to knock it out then I'm happy to leave my small contribution out, but if he turns out he doesn't want to play in for some reason then I'd throw my bit in to hopefully save it. But, since he's asleep AND would be playing after me, I'll have to go with the trust him option and hope he doesn't just go 'lol play 0'.

In other news, was doing some reading of the FAQ to check up on something that happened in an IRL game a couple days ago, when I saw this which might become relevant for you Podima:

quote:

Q: When Doral uses his “Meticulous” ability, can he choose to
move to the Resurrection Ship?
A: No. Players cannot move to a hazardous location unless
specifically instructed to do so. Using the “Meticulous” ability
replaces the normal rules that instruct players to move to the
Resurrection Ship.

D'Anna, can you confirm our dear big brother's excuse? Even if he did play in I'm curious what game he's playing.

Also, 5 cards in on a Destiny-positive check? Either we're going to overkill this or someone's spiking - and again, I've only drawn the 3 colors of this check thus far. It's actually in my best interests to fail this, but it's also in my best interests to get the meatbags to Kobol, so...

And for the record, a general reminder for folks:

+1 Food -1 Morale and the Admiral discards 2 Skill Cards and draws 2 Treachery cards

Remember that Discard options are usually much better in this game because Athena can Love you and I can opt to pick up stuff you discard. Something to keep in mind as our resources start to dwindle.

Alright so then there's just the problem of seven raiders coming for our unprotected civs then.

Obviously an XO would be great, and I've left some instructions of what to do if I get one as its nearly sleep time here in upside-down-land where I live, but that does still leave me facing down 7 raiders before my turn and if I get sickbayed my drawback is I don't draw ANY cards, so hooray for that.

An alternative is if both Cavil and Simon both hit communications we can move all civs into Echo and know between the two of you what they all are, plus if raiders activate each turn they'll arrive in Echo on my turn which lets me launch straight into there and BRING THE THUNDER.
