Also Hoshi, I think we get to pick which civilians get flipped? If you know which ones are safe/not game ending to flip, please say so. At this point it doesn't matter if the toasters know, the game will be over one way or another before they get another turn.

Cocks Cable posted:Cylons got REAL lucky here with Caprica. Not sure why they chanced it when they could have just gone with a straight forward double raider activation with no possible jump prep increase. I was prepared to hit raiders but when my robot buddy didn't I had to decide on a raider activation that might not even kill anything or possibly drawing a game winning crisis. Everything worked out, deckcylon is the best cylon.

We lose if Civ B dies along with potentially any of the other unrevealed civilians. I don't know what's in the Civilians that Starbuck looked at earlier.

I think the best thing we can do is park Starbuck in front of them and hope in the raiders rolling lovely at this point? ## Move to Hangar Bay ## ENG-1 Repair some vipers ## LEA-2 XO Starbuck

Technically, I think you could discard to move to Hangar Deck. Launch into ECHO and still have one Action left.

Lemme guess-- the deck was entirely made of CACs once you hit Distance 8. I mean, it makes up for that Cruise Ship Galactica portion just after Sleeper, at least.

There honestly was no gimmick. It was just a joke. And not to down play the sheer brutality there at the end. But I was thinking a better human strategy would have been to write off CivK and just XO Starbuck on Batlar's turn to camp on Echo. Evasives on unmanned vipers are kind of a waste. Starbuck with 3 Evasives might have had a better chance of tanking all those Raiders, at least long enough to hit the FTL button. The cylons got extremely lucky going with double Caprica activations. They could have just as easily pulled some super lame crisis choices as seen in many other games.

For as much as it doesn't look like it, the toasters played very well and the humans played horribly. Even Roslin's Brig escape was a good play-- all the humans had blown their entire hands a turn earlier, she knew Destiny was going to be positive, and she had enough in hand to break herself out. The Cylons really deserved the game at that point.

That XO on me near the end was a surprise, yeah. We had a fuel token to protect but a lot more problems brewing in space and I agree that shuffling Starbuck over might have done better, though I don't think we were going to hit the button anytime soon given our luck at the end there. Man. I cannot get over those draws.

In retrospect the debrigging attempt was probably more reasonable than I gave credit for at the time, though change of plans came out and rubbed its dick all over it. I would like to take a moment to point out that through all three jumps where I was admiral, I did not have a real choice in destinations, so being admiral never really gave me an edge in this at all: Jump 1) Destinations had been scouted and the card that had been seen was the better one. I wasn't ready to soft reveal to anybody at this point and the good card wasn't that much better than the other (Barren Planet vs Icy Moon, both cost 1 fuel per distance) Jump 2) I drew two Barren Planets Jump 3) I drew two Tylium Planets. Between that and the crisis draws at the end, all I can say is Deckcylon giveth and Deckcylon taketh away. Also the other crisis I drew when I hit caprica at the end was just -2 food or -1 food.

Overall I think team human did an okay job. I dunno, maybe they should have scouted more? Controlling the crisis deck is usually a pretty good fall back move. There was that part in the middle where they had 3 distance and only 3 fuel which is a super terrible ratio and no one seemed to talk about it. You guys kept dicking around with Basestars and I'm all  "When is someone going to do something about the fuel crisis?" But then you lucked into Cylon Ambush and well  Some of the cylon plays were a bit questionable in the risk sense. They could have easily backfired and wasted the precious few cylon turns, but they all seemed to pay off. So  I guess. I definitely don't agree on Roslin's brig check being a wise course. Arivia got super lucky on Destiny there. It's also why I didn't feel too bad about CoP since it was a complete fluke she was able to get out at all. So in summary. Humans got some lucky breaks. Cylons also got some lucky breaks. Maybe cylons just had better luck than the humans. Maybe all of your choices ultimately don't matter and deckcylon was determined to murder you all from the get go. Thanks for playing a completely normal game of BSG  Don't hate me. Hate FFG.

I mostly felt justified in most of my actions. My soft reveal by hitting the button was a decent gamble that didn't pay off (but oh boy, if it only had...), and sticking around for another jump let me prevent a potential fuel gain, even if I didn't have much choice in where we were going. That exact moment, when I realized it was 3 fuel 3 distance to go, was when I figured the odds were in our favor. I had considered activating raiders in the end, but the odds of being able to win from a crisis seemed more in my favor at the moment, since Arivia didn't hit raiders herself. Then I got to activate raiders with the CAC anyway  I was actually a little annoyed by the constant CACs because I had two Violent Outbursts and wanted to send people to sickbay with them
