We have barely escaped Caprica and my loyalty is already in question. Bah!

yes, it is

also max I think that line can fail pretty easily if sniper draws a quorum card, which I think automatically happens? maybe I'm missing something but it seems like a multi-person job to force a president out, and mild mechanical suspicion isn't enough for me to want to get multiple people on board with forcing el presidente out instead of doing other stuff

Most often, using either the Weapons Control location on Galactica or the Pegasus CIC location on Pegasus to attack the Basestar. There are a couple other options (Admiral gets a couple nukes, but they have to last the whole game so don't waste them; I could take potshots at one once I'm flying around in a Viper) but they're less frequently used.

One of these badboys is currently floating...off our....bow? Suffice to say it wants us dead, and the feeling is mutual.

With any luck, one of our more martially minded crewpeople can go...ah, I see I am preempted.

Cally wanders over to the Research Lab, poking around some of the odd experiments there!

Cally draws 1 TAC.

DEFCON Check: 1d8=4
DEFCON drops to 6.




Lots of new mouths to feed, but it's all that remains of humanity...

quote:

CRISIS: Low Supplies

Skill Check: POL/LEA = 7
Pass: No Effect
Fail: -1 Morale; if Food is less than 6, -1 additional Morale.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, NO JUMP PREP

By preload, Dee plays TAC-1 (Guts and Initiative). This check is now RECKLESS, but no Destiny is played into this check!

Action Queue:
==> All Players: Play Into The Check or Pass

Useful Tips
As a reminder, when playing into a check, you may not use numbers to describe your contribution - only high/medium/low descriptors. You would format your post as "##play 2 high," for example. (You are not, of course, obligated to indicate high/medium/low, but it's generally helpful for your fellow humans!) Please notify me in your channel what cards you're playing - do not post the specific cards you're playing here. It's a secret!

For skill checks, cards of the appropriate type (POL/LEA in this case) are positive, while cards of all other types are negative. All cards are totaled up after everyone plays or passes, and in order to succeed, you must have a net positive result of 7 or higher. TYPICALLY 2 cards are always played from the Destiny deck (which currently contains 18 cards, 3 from each type) so there will always be an unpredictable element - but due to Guts & Initiative, no Destiny intervention for this check!

Whoops, this is actually my bad - for future reference, because I forgot, "medium" can only be used when you play more than one card. It's a weird nitpick but that's BSG for you!

The check PASSES! No effect!

This check is RECKLESS!
Top TRE card is... TRE-0 (Dradis Contact)! 2 Raiders jump into ALPHA!
Next TRE card is... TRE-0 (Dradis Contact)! 2 Raiders jump into ALPHA!

Raiders Activate! 7 Raiders move from ALPHA to BRAVO!

No Jump Prep!


Useful Tips:
This is how Reckless works, for a refresher/reference:

quote:

Only one Reckless Card may be played per skill check. On a skill check made Reckless, after all other Skill Check abilities are resolved, turn over the top card of the Treachery Deck. If it is of strength greater than 0, discard it with no effect. Otherwise, if it is strength 0, turn over the next card of the Treachery Deck, and resolve both Skill Check abilities (even if they have already been resolved this skill check). Then discard both of these cards. Do not add them to the skill check.

In practice, it's roughly a 50-50 chance of Bad Things happening as the tradeoff for the benefit you get from whatever Reckless card is played - in this case, Destiny was excluded.

Admiral, would you mind taking a shot at that Basestar? Not sure which location you want to use, but I figure it isn't worth a nuke.
