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
  
• 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 24 hours to post or PM me to complete it. This is a soft limit - once the 24 hours pass, the top of the Action Queue will be auto-resolved at my discretion.
  
• Note: I intend to keep this game going at a fairly quick pace, though maybe not as fast as some people. Try to be able to check in a couple of times per day.
  
• If I 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 Adama).
  
• 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, and Evasive Maneuvers 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 a reasonable amount of time has passed.
  
• Skill checks will have a 24 hour time limit. After 24 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.A:
  
• 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.
  
• The fleet starts with 5 Regular Vipers, 3 Viper Mark VIIs, 1 Assault Raptor, and 4 Regular Raptors.
  
• All-Adama Game Mod: The fleet starts with an additional 2 Regular Vipers and 1 Mark VII Viper, in the Damaged Vipers Box
  
• Raiders have a component limit of 20.
  
• Note: The base game crisis cards are used for the crisis deck, but a few extra Cylon Attack Cards from other expansions are included in the DEFCON CAC deck to prevent it from running out.
  
  
  House Rules
  
• 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).
  
• Retooled Distance Variant: All Destination cards have +1 Distance, and Kobol is at 12 Distance instead of 8.
  
• Special All-Adama Character List: All Characters are replaced with changed versions of Lee "Apollo" Adama.
  
• Hard Mode: The fleet cannot gain jump prep if "FTL Control" is damaged.
