Less than 1 confuses and angers me. For that to matter someone would have to use calculations to lower a 1 which had already been rolled. :psylon:

You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.
Well, imagine if you could do that. Some joker would activate Pegasus' CIC:

quote:

Action: Choose a basestar and roll a die:
1-3: Damage Pegasus
4-6: Damage basestar
7-8: Damage basestar twice
roll a 1, and try lowering it with Calculations to a 0 and claiming that since 0's not on that table nothing happens.

President Roslin.

Uh, to be clear, is that the President title Action (and I can go ahead with DEFCON/Crisis) or a Quorum activation?

Ah. By CO, then, Athena Loves President Roslin and draws a TRE, but that still leaves you with one card to discard to Terminal Illness.

First quorum card sent, then second.

DEFCON: 2. DEFCON Level decreases to 5.

Religious Visions sent to Roslin.

Pass: No Effect.
Fail: The Current Player is placed in the "Brig" location.

Everyone, play in or pass.

One thing to note about Athena's For Love ability is that while it can be used to counter drawback's, like Roslin's Terminal Illness and Hoshi's Reluctant, it cannot be used on normal character abilities, such as Hoshi's Dutiful.

:munch: That's...really weird. I'll remember that; last game I played Athena was loving Hoshi a lot.

:munch: The problem was Kat's Hotshot ability, and I guess they wanted to be consistent instead of just singling out that one ability. Or maybe using an ability doesn't qualify as "must discard"?

Possibly because Hoshi's is an ability, allowing the player to do more, but Roslin's is a disadvantage preventing the player from doing something unless a cost is paid.

I guess it's Binkenstein's head so I'll CO a pass to Max Peck unless Binkenstein shows up first in thread to ask for the card.

Also, regarding my turn, what do y'all suggest I do? I haven't played in ages and I can't see a DRADIS but is there anything on the board worth looking at from Comms or should I just go to the Research Lab?

Actually, since your Hoshi, double tapping command to move back a viper, escort a couple civs and take a pot shot might be a good move.

TheParadigm

We are probably going to have a cac as our crisis this turn so getting rid of civ ships it's in our best interests

Since you're Hoshi, it's more efficient to grind command for space combat and escort duties than pretty much anything else.

TheParadigm
Dec 10, 2009

Pretty much. The combination of his static and downside means that you can effectively self-XO on certain locations - and playing that XO ALSO costs a card, so why not?

He's interesting to play.

Last game I played hoshi, I was staring down playing a critsit+ OPGing+2-3xstatic, and trying to figure out how to not discard a stratplan for FTL; and somehow keep a repair in hand(and a spare card to play it) for the next turn.

Its neat being able to play an admiral that can fix your own flagship, but it makes you miss just being able to PLAY your hand.

Sorry for taking so long to come back to the thread. I'm AEST and at work at the moment.

I'll activate communications and probably discard to activate a second time but let me take a look at these ships!

There are 3 civilian ships there (A, B, and C), which 2 would you like for this activation?
