Podima: Nov 4, 2009; by Fluffdaddy

"Solvent my rear end. I know a still when I smell it."

Welcome to Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game: Online!

This will be a 6 player No Sympathizer, Pegasus, Daybreak, Revamped Exodus, DEFCON Variant, and Tweaked Jump game to Kobol. (And really, how many more keywords can I possibly stuff in here at this point?)

Rules, FAQ, and Errata can be found here.
General BSG discussion thread is here.

REQUIREMENTS:

You must have PMs enabled to play.
You are expected to be active and check in at least twice per day.

THE ACTION QUEUE/12 HOUR RULE:
At the bottom of every game-relevant mod post, there is an Action Queue that announces what we are waiting for to continue the game.
If you are at the top of the Action Queue, you have 12 hours to post or PM me to complete it. This is a soft limit - once the 12 hours pass, the top of the Action Queue will be auto-resolved at my discretion.
The time requirements will be relaxed on weekends and holidays, or or if there is sufficient hand-wringing and on-going critical discussion in the thread. I don't want to rush decisions but I do want the game to move at a steady pace with active players.
If we have to repeatedly auto-resolve your choices, you will be replaced.
You may pre-load actions ahead of time (ex. ## If my Viper is attacked, play PIL-3 (Evasive Maneuvers)). This MUST be done via PM. Please be as specific as possible.

ANNOUNCING PLAYS/ACTIONS:
All game actions must be prefaced with two #s, and bolded (ex. ##Move to Communications). Please be specific and brief.
If you're playing a card, make sure to list the skill type, number and card name (ex. ##use LEA-1 (XO) on Helo).
All face-down cards, including Quorum Cards and Skill Cards will be delivered to the players via PM. Your cards will be auto-drawn for you at the beginning of your turn. Any player that has a choice in what to draw will need to announce what skill set they are drawing (ex. ##draw 1 Politics 1 Engineering.) or, if pre-loaded, will have it announced with that turn update.
Pre-loading is a big part of keeping a forum game running smoothly. Players are encouraged to pre-load whenever possible, especially in cases of pre-skill check cards.
Seriously, please put in preloads for everything you can think of - Declare Emergency, Strategic Planning, Evasive Maneuvers, and Calculations are good examples. In general I won't pause in the middle of resolution and wait for people to play these unless it's a game-ending situation.

SKILL CHECKS:
Players must announce the number of cards they are playing in the thread, then PM me the specific cards they are playing. Skill checks will be resolved after all players have announced the number of cards in the thread and PM'ed their contribution, OR 12 hours have passed.
Skill checks will have a 12 hour time limit. After 12 hours, the check will be resolved. This is not absolute but will be enforced at my discretion.
Turn order will NOT be enforced on Skill Checks. Turn order will be enforced upon request and in the following circumstances: playing an Investigative Committee Card, activating the Admiral Quarters/Airlock, or any Skill Check that could end the game.
Face-up cards that affect skill checks (Investigative Committee, At Any Cost, etc.) should be played as soon as possible after the check is announced (or should be pre-loaded to me before the check happens). If one of these cards is played after other players have announced their contributions, they may change their contribution.

SECRECY:
Players MUST read and abide by the Secrecy Clarifications in the official FAQ.
DON'T EDIT YOUR POSTS!
Players may ONLY use the words, "low" or "high" to describe their contributions to skill checks. That�s it. You can use "medium", but only when contributing multiple cards and only to describe the entire contribution.
No communication outside of this thread between players is allowed.
Players may not quote anything from PMs. This includes cards and messages from the mod.
Do NOT post pre-loads in the thread. These MUST be done via PM.

CYLON SHIP ACTIVATIONS:
Cylon ship activations are done automatically.
Ships are activated starting in Sector Alpha and proceed clockwise around Galactica.
By default, Raiders will target unmanned Vipers first before targeting MkVIIs and Assault Raptors in that order. If you want to change this for your turn, let me know.

PILOTS NEED TO PEW PEW MORE DEFCON VARIANT VERSION 3.2:
Cylon Attack Cards are removed from the Crisis Deck and are placed in their own separate deck. This deck cannot be scouted, examined, or otherwise affected by cards and abilities.
The DEFCON Level is a number that can range between 1 (bad) and 100 (good). It starts the game at 7.
When a Crisis Card would be drawn, either during the Crisis Step or by activating the Caprica location, roll a d8. This roll cannot be modified, re-rolled, or otherwise affected by cards or abilities.
- On a roll greater than or equal to the current DEFCON Level, the top two CACs are drawn, either by the CAG during a human player's turn or by the Cylon player activating Caprica, and they choose one to resolve. The other is buried. The DEFCON Level is then increased by 7.
- On a roll lower than the DEFCON Level, a regular Crisis Card is drawn and the DEFCON Level is reduced by 1.
When the fleet jumps, the DEFCON Level is decreased (bad for humans) if there are Cylon ships on the board.
- -3 for each undamaged Basestar.
- -1 for each damaged Basestar.
- -1 for each Heavy Raider.
The DEFCON Level can be increased (good for humans) when a Nuke or Viper destroys Cylon ships.
- +1 for each Basestar destroyed.
- +1 for each Heavy Raider destroyed.
- +1 for every 3 Raiders destroyed (running total kept throughout the game).
The CAG Title is in play. The CAG chooses the CAC to play during a human player's turn. He also chooses which type of Viper to deploy according to any CAC setup and if an unmanned Assault Raptor remains in space after a jump.
There is NO escort action, but Civilian Ships are automatically removed when the fleet jumps.
Nukes use base game rules.
Scar is removed from the CAC Deck. He's a big old wimp anyhow.
The fleet starts with 5 Regular Vipers, 3 Viper Mark VIIs, 1 Assault Raptor, and 4 Regular Raptors.
Raiders have a component limit of 16.
Pegasus CANNOT be chosen for damage unless there is at least one human player on a Pegasus location.

HOUSE RULES - READ THESE EVEN IF YOU SKIMMED EVERYTHING ELSE!
I enjoy running Very Fast games, and thus have higher expectations for my players' involvement - hence the 12-hour limit. You don't have to be constantly refreshing the thread like I do, but if you enjoy lazily checking in once a day or so, this is not the game for you.
The set of Skill Cards includes some revamped Exodus cards! Changed/new stuff has asterisks (*) for reference.
Various tweaks from the goonsensus hivemind and changes to the most problematic characters such as Cain, Cally, Tory, Kat, Zarek, and Sam. All changes should be marked with an asterisk (*) below.
Using unofficial versions of Romo, Cottle, and Hotdog because their Daybreak versions sucked.
Some custom unofficial characters added for variety: Kendra, Billy, Racetrack, and Seelix.
Official No Sympathizer Variant: Starting Resources are 8 Fuel, 7 Food, 9 Morale, and 10 Population; Revealed Cylon players draw 3 Skill Cards on their turns (instead of 2).

To sign up, please let me know whether you would prefer #Retooled Distance or #Fixed Distance Jumps (those are both links to the relevant posts in the main BSG thread). We will use one of those two variants for this game.

Sign-ups will be open for 24-ish hours or until I get 12ish people.

If all the players are down for that then sure, but after the reception the Holiday Basestar got I'm trying to be a bit more judicious in loving with the game.

For those who don't lurk/post in the main BSG thread, here's the second potential variant rule up for discussion:

fits posted:

I had the idea for a gimmick game in the past. Exodus loyalty rules, at distance 8 flip over the last loyalty card. If its you are not a cylon, nothing happens. if its you are a cylon, draw all remaining crisises from the super crisis deck, treating them all as if they had +1 jump prep on them. maybe disallow humans from jumping until -1 too

Balanced? Probably not, but itd be interesting to see

I would formally write this up as:

Final Countdown Variant (title pending)

Use Exodus Loyalty Rules, but do not draw a new Loyalty Card when executed
At Distance 8, reveal the one remaining Loyalty Card. If it is a "YOU ARE A CYLON" card, all remaining Crises are drawn from the Super Crisis deck (this includes all other effects that interact with the Crisis deck, such as scouting and the Caprica location) and count as having +1 Jump Prep.
If the final Loyalty Card is a "YOU ARE A CYLON" card, the fleet cannot jump until they reach the "Risk 1" spot on the Jump Prep tracker.

I think waiting till at minimum Risk 1 is important, since the dials are probably going to be quite high at that point with only 1 Cylon for the entire game. (I'm actually tempted to force waiting until auto-jump, since each Crisis will DEFINITELY have Jump Prep on it so the final jump cycle would be 5 turns till a human victory.) This also threatens to make a very frustrating game for that 1 Cylon, which is my biggest concern - 1 vs. 5 is rough. Open to input.

Whether you want to play with the Final Countdown Variant or not
Your character choice(s) AND their starting draws if you're not Rogue 7, who gets their full draw (I recommend picking 2 or 3 if you're further down the list, and will shuffle people around as necessary to match picking order)

From the files of Romo Lampkin, PI

Yesterday they almost succeeded. My Raptor had hardly left the Hangar Deck before a sudden explosion rocked the landing bay I had just left, like a deathly game of whack-a-mole. The Chief was injured, but I know it was meant for me. Half asleep, my mind kept replaying the moment of the blast, and for a moment I saw myself in the burning wreckage of the Raptor, before a noise brought me back to cold reality. She walked in like an angel floating down from heaven. She said her name was Ellen. She said she could help. She gave me her card. I can't trust her.

Undamaged to damaged and damaged to destroyed are both worth 2 levels of defcon, and with critical hit out of the pool, CIC can't destroy an undamaged basestar in one shot.

This is not strictly true unless I've misread you - undamaged is -3 on jump, and damaged is -1 on jump. Destroying a Basestar only gives +1 DEFCON when done by a nuke or Viper.
