/in I love this game.

Post Post #25 (isolation #1) » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:33 am

No sympathizer just means we play the game with an extra "you are not a cylon" card instead of the sympathizer card?

It's been a while since I've played just base by itself, so it really doesn't matter to me.

I will take Tom Zarek

and spend all my time trying to win the presidency

and do helpful things.

It also starts the resources a little lower and lets revealed Cylons draw three skills at the start of their turn rather than two, to balance things out.

I vote this. I think it's just less fun to be the sympathizer anyway.

I was deciding between cheif and zarek and I went for the player that I had played less for funzies.

Good thing you moved out of the armory so you can't be brigged. Or is it?

Probably better to have Nexus and ChannelDelibird put in cards if they can since their turns are coming up, depending on what Nexus has of course.

I can help a little bit as well.

CONCEDE THE PRESIDENCY TO ME FOR THE MIGHT OF THE FIRST ZAREK EMPIRE

Ahem...

Probably draw some quorum cards.

Post Post #71 (isolation #7) » Mon Jul 28, 2014 8:51 am

Alternatively, since I make administration almost impossible to fail, if we want to take the morale hit instead it'll be easy to return the presidency to President Roslin on my turn (or even on CDB's turn with executive order and I can use a skill card in addition.)

But I'm not sure what would be better at this point so I'll leave the decision up to you, Admiral.

Post Post #77 (isolation #8) » Mon Jul 28, 2014 11:01 am

I was going to say XO Poro to guard the civies but I don't think there's a way for them to attack them before his turn and I think your idea is much better.

inb4 cylon reveal on XO, (although I suppose it's a bit early).

Post Post #94 (isolation #9) » Sun Aug 03, 2014 6:49 pm

I'm likely going to use a Consolidate Power to draw some blue cards.

I have an XO (so woo me with your plans if you want it) and a Launch Scout as well, but I'm leaning towards the CP.

Post Post #96 (isolation #10) » Mon Aug 04, 2014 10:01 am

Even if my crisis moves the raiders you can just move to protect the civvies on your turn so unless you have a really good card from your hand you want to play I think I'm probably just going to get cards.

Post Post #98 (isolation #11) » Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:18 pm

Ooh that's a good point...Nexus do you want to burn two skill cards to draw 4 quorum cards / draw 3 quorum cards play one / draw 2 quorum cards play 2?

Post Post #99 (isolation #12) » Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:19 pm

Also let me know if in the future you'd rather I discuss my turn or just do something to make the game go faster.

Post Post #102 (isolation #13) » Mon Aug 04, 2014 12:29 pm

OP says you have 3 but I keep forgetting you can just use the president card.

I don't know why but whenever I play Laura Roslin (one of my favs to play) I always have a hard-on for drawing a billion quorum cards.

Oh well, I'm just going to:

Play: Consolidate Power - Action: Draw 2 Skill Cards of any type(s). They may come from outside your skill set. Strength 2

to grab 2 Engineering cards

XO pilots

Launch Scouts for jump track

Use FTL (you can't do this now and wouldn't want to anyway but we may want to use this soon).

All of those are tasty, but the only one you plausibly could do is XO a pilot (which is the best use of your time anyway).

I put two cards into the check

Since Will Adama's power is a thing, it is more than possible the two bad cards came from destiny.

Use:

Executive Order - Action:

Choose any other player. He may move his character and then take 1 action OR not move and take 2 actions. (Movement abilities may not be used.) A limit of 1 "Executive Order" card may be used per turn. Strength 1

on Admiral Adama.

Post Post #224 (isolation #27) » Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:00 am

Well at least we get a food either way (unless we fail). I almost want to skip the check because I'd love to not have the option to lose 5 pop this turn. I think the check is doable, but losing 2-3 cards each to win the check might be worse than 1 card each, and losing those cards and still failing would be sad.

Thoughts?

Post Post #230 (isolation #28) » Thu Aug 28, 2014 12:37 pm

Most of my cards are low so I'd be putting in a lot of what I have left (I have 5 remaining) to help with the check.

Post Post #296 (isolation #36) » Sat Sep 20, 2014 6:55 pm

Ok I'll put in 2. It's a fair amount.

Post Post #325 (isolation #37) » Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:40 am

Run to FTL and activate it!!!!!!one!one!lol!

I can

A) XO someone
B) consolidate power to pick up more blue
C) pewpew at the basestar
D) launch more vipers
E) I guess move the civvie ships

Roughly in the order I think they might be effective.

Post Post #328 (isolation #38) » Tue Sep 23, 2014 7:39 am

Isn't the FTL track on red anyway?

(I also can't personally do it but could XO Adama to do it if it weren't, since I can't activate it while he's there).

Post Post #333 (isolation #39) » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:09 pm

Use this:

Executive Order - Action: Choose any other player. He may move his character and then take 1 action OR not move and take 2 actions. (Movement abilities may not be used.) A limit of 1 "Executive Order" card may be used per turn. Strength 1

on Poroporo

Post Post #336 (isolation #40) » Fri Sep 26, 2014 5:46 am

The reason I didn't XO you was because I didn't want you to flip FTL and then reveal just in case.

If I didn't XO Poro I was going to draw blue cards.

Post Post #346 (isolation #41) » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:56 am

I'm going to bring it over, you may want to bump a low card in if you can spare it just in case.

Consolidate Power - Action:

Wage war on the knee caps of those who know her well enough to testify she's a good person! Mwa haha the Zarek empire shall rise and eliminate the cylon threat for good!

No cards

Post Post #424 (isolation #54) » Tue Oct 07, 2014 6:46 pm

In the event that you are not a cylon and Boomey is not a cylon, grabbing quorom cards to have the get out of jail free card might be helpful.

In the event that you are not a cylon and have the insta brig card, you probably shouldn't brig someone but you could.

In the event that you are not a cylon it may also help to grab some cardage since I'm another green/yellow fountain and I'm pretty spent until my turn rolls around.

In the event you are a cylon die suck die.

If you XO someone it's possible they'll pop out. Or do whatever nasty thing they can and then pop out. Like I really wish I were a Cylon so I could be like "NOW YOU ALL SHALL EAT PEOPLE HAHAHAHHAAHHA" and then do some other nasty. Also you can XO me I'm not a Cylon but I can't scout so I'd just draw cards or something. Don't XO me.

This post was super helpful.

I suppose it depends on your cards to spare. As much as I'm not keen on losing a resource the dirty cylons aren't going to kill us through food if we're at the starting position in the sleeper face.

Post Post #491 (isolation #65) » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:59 am

I'm likely consolidating power.

Other things I'm considering are taking over presidency (since I know I'm a goodie) or brigging someone (not sure who so I probably won't do this)

Those skill checks seem like they could be problematic. XO will not be happening.

I don't think Nexus is a cylon from that crisis, though there's nothing saying he has to try to sabotage the crisis.

I know it's not me.

I am wary of CDB buddying up (but the fight against evil is ever so lonely sometimes...)

I was going to discard cards anyway. I could have added a couple just to make it so I would discard 2 more cards. So I wanted to see what people put.

There are a lot of piloting cards played. Unless Poro and Gamma ONLY played piloting, then a cylon HAD to have played a piloting card, meaning there's likely a cylon in the set {Nexus, Gamma, Poroporo}.

The problem is: are there 2?
