Yeah I'm on board with Arivia. No scouts though actually, huh. Given this could be the last crisis, do I need to hit engine room, save the civvy, or possibly stop the basestar shooting? We could still get hosed over on fuel token/ftl being hit, and the civvy could have morale or 2 pop on it.

Two things off the top of my head: 1) Toshimo, what the gently caress were you doing literally any time you had the Presidency? Taking even Food hits to save your five cards isn't really worth it, when we'll likely end up spending five+ cards to safeguard the same on an actual check. 2) Some Numbers, I buried this: pre:CRISIS: Abandon Galactica Admiral Chooses Discard 1 Nuke Token. If you do not have any Nuke Tokens, you cannot choose this option. OR -1 Food and the Admiral draws 2 Treachery Cards. POST CRISIS: Launch Nukes, +1 Jump Prep As an aside, I think we got literally every crisis possible relating to Islanded in a Stream of Stars. Abandon Galactica, Galactica Falling Apart, all we were missing was Bill Adama sobs in the AQ while trying to paint it back to life.

Thanks to everyone for playing, and thank you for tolerating my experiment this game - the Holiday Basestar. I love the Rebel Basestar and I think it's dumb that its usage is locked behind a bad mechanic that is not worth using (the missions). For what it's worth, the Holiday Basestar had just as much potential to be useful for toasters as humans - Cylons always complain about bad SCCs, and the Holiday Basestar is a perfect opportunity to use them for something nasty. Out of the three human usages, two were useless (Arivia left the crises in the exact same order as they already were, and Metos just got some TAC-4s since the TAC-5 and TAC-6 were both nestled snugly in Cocks Cable's hand). Some Numbers' Punch The Hybrid was more useful for delaying Riots (the bad one with no Jump Prep, even) and giving foreknowledge of when to Engine Room. While the Rebel Basestar lets people trade in their OPG for versatility, the loss of some of those OPGs is also sometimes not worth it (for example, I think Seelix's OPG is way more useful than any of the Rebel Basestar spots) and I feel the advantage for the Cylons in giving THEM more versatility is a perfectly fine balance. That being said, I'm glad Brony Hunter kept pushing on. Toasters were literally one lucky die roll away from hitting the -Fuel token and just winning, so continuing to hammer space and Galactica in hopes of a lucky shot or two was the right move. The Presidential tug of war was a little weird  It was ridiculous that you guys got ALL the -Food Crises at the beginning like that, though.

Yeah, it was funny to not change the Crisis order at all. Like I thought it through and went "no wait, these are literally the safest ones with guaranteed jump prep up front, I have no reason to change this at all." The only exception was me forgetting Toshimo being allergic to taking 2nd choices as President, and Metos fixed that. Could have been a little gory otherwise. Also getting executed sucks. I had all my good cards saved for emergencies, gone just like that.

Yeah, you losing your hand was when I started to sweat a bit. Slowly but surely, humanity was definitely getting ground down at the end - it was not a Cruise Ship Galactica finish.

Thanks for running it Podima! I think humans made all the right choices except for literally every single choice Toshimo made. We got screwed by luck quite a few times like that double rolling 2 to lose a fuel which made the entire last 3 days about managing that, but the 3-3-2 jump cycle made it for us. FWIW I would have definitely played Cocks' SCC, the execution on jumping if in FTL or engine room would have been a most likely guaranteed extra turn if anything else that hit morale came up as someone was on engine room - plus more basestars for Brony to fire at Galactica with and more civs to blow up. He also could've XO'd Toshimo instead of revealing and we would've arrested Helo for sure since we knew it was one of the two and surely the toaster wouldn't stay there and XO, he'd reveal! And maybe cop an XO to break out with and make the humans spend their cards to break him out, and then gently caress us over. Who knows though! I expected Brony to immediately go over and hit the hybrid tank after Dee did it to gently caress over the ordering, and as he'd said his SCC wasn't going to help. Even just loving with the order and scaring the humans into scouting just to find it was one of the good ones on top and they wasted their turn seemed like a good idea, surprised they didn't utilise it.

Cocks' SCC was also a two-basestar attack, which would have increased the number of shots at the Fuel token. I will admit I got a bit annoyed at the defeatism, but being physically detached from the game due to holiday travel may have contributed to that.

I think this is a clear division on how we all (correctly or incorrectly) value different things in the game. I was 100% in agreement with Cocks that the Rebel Basestar took a 50/50 chance from the Cylons and gave it almost 100% to the Humans. I don't begrudge him his response in the slightest.
