Rules are here. I'm too lazy to write up all the components, so find a handy list here. Note that this is the base game, so you'll have to ignore anything from Pegasus or Exodus.

Rules (stolen from Magua!):
Rules of Play

• 1. No talking about the game outside of the game thread.
  2.
  Remember the Secrecy Rules
  . You are not allowed to say what cards you played into a skill check, or how many points you contributed. You are not allowed to specify any of your Loyalty or Quorum cards. If you are allowed to look at the top card of a deck, you cannot make specific statements about it. You are allowed to say you do or do not have a specific skill card ("If someone has a Strategic Planning, I'll activate FTL").
  
  Allowed
  : "I can take most of this check," "I can only help a little bit," "I can get halfway there," "This destination is good," "You don't want to look at my Loyalty cards, it'll be bad"
  
  Not Allowed
  : "I put in 5 points," "I put in a Scout for Fuel," "It's a 3-distance destination," "If you look at my Loyalty cards you'll be executed"
  For situations where you are given two (or more) cards, and you must pick one and bury the other(s), you are not allowed to say anything about the card(s) you buried.
  3. If it's private, PM. If it's public, post in the thread bolded.
  4. For skill checks, PM the cards you're playing, and post in the thread the number of cards you're playing.
  5. The time limit to make a decision, move, etc, is 36 hours. The time limit to play into a skill check is 24 hours.
  6. It is your responsibility to declare when you want to play an interrupt.
  7. Conditional orders are good, m'kay?
  8. If a roll is involved, feel free to make it with dice tags. However, Strategic Planning cannot be played after the dice have been rolled.

[Sudo_Nym]

Since I'm opposed to the idea of first come first served on an internet forum where time zones can be an issue, I'm leaving signups open until 8:00 PM tonight, roughly 24 hours from when they opened, then I'll randomly pick 6 people to play. So don't feel left out if you didn't get in there fast enough; you still have a chance!

FWTJR, I don't really mind that you live with another player, but you're on the honor system if you both get in.

[Sudo_Nym]

I'm definitely going to be using the Pegasus version of Investigative Committee; I'm not sure about sympathizer, but I'll probably put it up for vote- if you get in, vote whether you want the Sympathizer as you're selecting your character, and I'll populate the Loyalty deck appropriately. Since the loyalty deck isn't built until after character selection anyway, that should work out.

If this plays out like I like, I'll probably start throwing in expansions, and then there'll have to be votes on whether we want to do stuff like the Cylon Fleet board, or which objective to pursue and so forth, so this should be a nice test of concept.

[Sudo_Nym]

So, I put all the names into random.org, and it gave me the following list:

Gammagooey
Nexus
ChannelDelibird
Save the Dragons
Porochaz
PrivateI
BipolarChemist
ForWhomTheJellyRolls
animorpherv1

Since we have 9, the last three get left out; I apologize to BipolarChemist, FWTJR, and ani, but there's not enough space. I can save you guys as replacements, or save you spots in the next game, if you like.

So, in the following turn order, choose your characters:
1. Gammagooey
2. Nexus
3. ChannelDelibird
4. Save the Dragons
5. Porochaz
6. PrivateI

When you select your character, remember to vote on whether you want to play No Sympathizer or normal.

[Sudo_Nym]

May I be a replacement/next game participant? Unless I am not allowed, or was left off the random.org list for some related reason.

I'll put you on the list; I'm very sorry that I overlooked you! I'll guarantee you a spot in the next game, if you want it.

[Sudo_Nym]

Nexus indicated by PM that he wants Laura Roslin. CDB indicated Adama as his next choice, but didn't specify if he meant Bill or Lee, so we'll need him to clarify.

[Sudo_Nym]

Then that brings us to STD.

[Sudo_Nym]

That leaves PrivateI to pick a character. No pressure on him, but I want to get this rolling ASAP, so if he isn't here by 8, we'll roll with 5.

[Sudo_Nym]

Well, unfortunate, but 5 is a good number for Battlestar Galactica, and it makes No Sympathizer a non-issue. Loyalty cards are going out now. Everyone except Boomer should post their desired skill draws once they've got their loyalty cards, and Apollo should decide where he wants his Viper to be. To nobody's surprise, Roslin will be the President and Adama will be the Admiral.

[Sudo_Nym]

Remember, Porochaz, you also have to decide what space area you want to launch into.

[Sudo_Nym]

Hands are out; Boomer, get us started!

[Sudo_Nym]

Boomer looks at a Crisis card at the end of her turn; i.e. after her Crisis step. So you don't get to see this crisis, but the next one.

[Sudo_Nym]

Crisis Card is:

Missing G4 Explosives
Difficulty 7

Tactics

Pass: No Effect
Fail: -1 Food, and all characters in the Armory location are sent to the Brig.
After Crisis: Activate Raiders.

Starting with Nexus and proceeding, add skills to the check. Please only post the number of cards you're adding, and PM those cards to me. If you know what you want to add, you can PM me in advance, but don't post in thread; I can post or you can when your turn comes around. If anybody wants to play a relevant card (Investigative Committee), we'll probably have to start over, but you're on the honor system to avoid abusing this- I'd have to be super strict about this.

[Sudo_Nym]

Not an absolute necessity, but it would be helpful to me if you bold your actions so I know what you want to do and what is discussion.

Nexus contributes 1
CDB contributes 2

STD to contribute.

[Sudo_Nym]

STD contributes 1

Porochaz to contribute.

[Sudo_Nym]

Porochaz- 0
Gamma- 0
Destiny- 2

Skill Check:

Declare Emergency- 4
Declare Emergency- 3

Strategic Planning- 3
Launch Scout- 1

Maximum Firepower- 4

Consolidate Power- 1

Total is 6, which is a failure. Nobody preset a Declare Emergency, so I will pause for 12 hours to allow one to be played if desired.

[Sudo_Nym]

So the crisis is passed for no effect. The raiders at 9 o'clock move to 11 o'clock. I'm sending the top crisis to Gamma, who can then decide if he wants to put it back on top or bottom, and then Nexus can begin his turn.

[Sudo_Nym]

Gamma has chosen to

bottom

the crisis, so it is now Nexus's turn.

[Sudo_Nym]

Nexus to play a quorum card or draw a second. Also, as per your disadvantage, Nexus must discard 2 skill cards for Terminal Illness.

[Sudo_Nym]

No, because it's all part of one activation.

[Sudo_Nym]

That brings us to the Crisis:

Declare Martial Law
Admiral Chooses:
-1 Morale, and the Admiral Receives the President Title
OR
-1 Population, and the Admiral discard 2 Skill cards
Basestars Activate

So it's up to Adama (CDB) to make a decision.

[Sudo_Nym]

The basestar fires on Galactica:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[Sudo_Nym]

That is a miss, so it is now CDB's turn.

[Sudo_Nym]

Top Crisis sent to Gamma.

[Sudo_Nym]

Food Shortage
President Chooses:
-2 Food
OR
-1 Food. The President discards 2 Skill Cards, then the current player discards 3 Skill Cards.
Activate Raiders
Jump Prep

So Nexus to choose.

[Sudo_Nym]

CDB is indeed the active player.

[Sudo_Nym]

Is there a decision?

[Sudo_Nym]

As a note, my computer is down. Not sure when I'll be back online.

[Sudo_Nym]

At long last, the mod is back online, so let's go!

Activate Raiders moves the Raiders at 11 to 1, and Jump prep increases to stage 1 (no jump possible).

Sending hand to STD>

[Sudo_Nym]

That brings us to the Crisis:

Rescue Caprica Survivors
President (Nexus) Chooses:
-1 Fuel, -1 Food, +1 Population
OR
-1 Morale
Activate Raiders, Jump Prep

So Nexus to choose.

[Sudo_Nym]

Morale drops to 9
The Raiders at 1 move to 3.
Jump increases to 2 (no jump).

That brings us to Porochaz, who must decide how Lee will split his 2 Leadership/Politics draw.

[Sudo_Nym]

Lee attacks a Raider; destroys on a 3-8:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (8) = 8

[Sudo_Nym]

That brings us to the Crisis:

Build Cylon Detector
Admiral (CDB) chooses:
Discard 1 nuke token.
OR
-1 Morale, and the Admiral (CDB) discards 2 Skill Cards.
Activate Heavy Raiders

So CDB to make a decision.

[Sudo_Nym]

CDB discards a nuke; a Heavy Raider launches at 9 o'clock. That brings us to Gamma's Turn!

[Sudo_Nym]

Heavy Raider is hit on a roll of 7-8:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Sudo_Nym]

That's a miss, so it's time for the crisis:

Raiding Party
1. Activate Raiders
Raiders at 9 o'clock shoot at Apollo; they hit on a 5+, and will destroy a civ ship if the first shot hits:

Original Roll String: 2d8

2 8-Sided Dice: (5, 7) = 12

2. Setup:
1 Basestar and 3 Raiders at 1 o'clock
2 Heavy Raiders and 2 Raiders at 3 o'clock
1 Civilian at 5
2 Raiders and 2 Civilians at 7

3. FTL Failure: -1 Jump Prep

[Sudo_Nym]

Apollo is hit; I will now wait for Evasive Maneuvers, if desired. I shall also send Gamma the next crisis, so he can use his ability.

The above is also to be corrected; I misread Gamma's post and assumed he wanted to shoot at the Heavy Raider at 9 instead of the Raider at 3, so a Raider at 3 is destroyed, and only one shot is taken at Apollo. Since the first roll was a hit, Apollo will still need an Evasive Maneuvers to avoid getting shot.

[Sudo_Nym]

Gamma buries the top crisis.

Evasive Maneuvers forces a reroll of the attack on Apollo:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[Sudo_Nym]

That's a miss, so it's now Nexus's turn

[Sudo_Nym]

Sent. Nexus may choose to move these ships.

[Sudo_Nym]

Sending the top two crises to Nexus as per Religious Visions.

[Sudo_Nym]

Nexus chooses:

Keep Tabs on Visitor
Current Player (Nexus) chooses:
Difficulty 12

Politics

Leadership

+

Tactics

Pass: No Effect
Fail: Roll a die. If 4 or lower, -2 Population
OR
The current player (Nexus) discards 4 Skill Cards at random

Nexus to choose the skill check or the discard.

[Sudo_Nym]

Yes, CDB will contribute first.

[Sudo_Nym]

Porochaz contributes 2. Gamma to contribute.

[Sudo_Nym]

And over to Nexus to complete the check.

[Sudo_Nym]

So contributions are:
CDB- 1

Raiders Activate: 3 Raiders at 1 o'clock move to 3 o'clock

First raider at 3 o'clock shoots at Apollo (damaged on 5-7, destroyed on 8):

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[Sudo_Nym]

Second raider shoots at Apollo:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Sudo_Nym]

Third Raider shoots at Apollo:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Sudo_Nym]

Apollo is hit; Will now pause for a potential Evasive Maneuvers.

[Sudo_Nym]

Third Raider reshoots:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (7) = 7

[Sudo_Nym]

Still a hit. More Evasion?

[Sudo_Nym]

Well, Porochaz said he'd have limited access until Monday; do you want to wait until he gets back, or what?

[Sudo_Nym]

Third raider reshoots:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Sudo_Nym]

That is still a hit. Use more Maneuvers?

[Sudo_Nym]

Almost overlooked that. Good catch, Gamma. Then I shall get to updating!

[Sudo_Nym]

Top crisis sent to Gamma.

Basestar is hit: Disabled Hangar (cannot launch ships).

[Sudo_Nym]

Gamma keeps the top crisis, which is:

Witch Hunt
Difficulty 10

Pass: No Effect
6+: -1 Morale
Fail: -1 Morale. Current player chooses a character and moves him to Sickbay.
Activate Heavy Raiders, Jump Prep

STD to contribute first. Remember that, since this is still Adama's turn, any strength 1 card counts positive, regardless of color.

[Sudo_Nym]

I've put more than I was going to in. I don't see the point of losing morale needlessly

In this case, 3. Remember to post how many cards you're playing in thread, as it's public knowledge.

[Sudo_Nym]

So contributions are:
STD- 2
Poro- 3
Gamma- 0

Final Total is 6: -1 Morale.

Heavy Raiders activate: Heavy at 9 moves to 7. Both Heavies at 3 move to 5.

Jump Prep increases to 3 (Can jump at risk of -3 pop)

That takes us to STD's turn.

[Sudo_Nym]

Loss of three population on 6 or less:

Original Roll String: 1d8+2

1 8-Sided Dice: (4)+2 = 6

[Sudo_Nym]

Fleet loses 3 population, but jumps. Sending Destination choices to CDB.

[Sudo_Nym]

CDB discards

Executive Order- 2

Poro discards

Evasive Maneuvers- 2

No Raiders to activate. Jump Prep increases to 1 (No Jump)

Apollo has a flex draw; Poro must decide how to split the 2 Politics/Leadership draw.

[Sudo_Nym]

You have 1 card; as a time saver, the 6 in the front page includes the 5 you're about to draw.

[Sudo_Nym]

Also, for anyone keeping track, the leadership deck was reshuffled just prior to Poro's draw.

[Sudo_Nym]

Scout on a 3+, lose a raptor on 1-2:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Sudo_Nym]

That's a failed scout, which brings us to the Crisis:

Declare Emergency?

[Sudo_Nym]

Because I deleted to fix a typo and forgot to retype the number. And also it's supposed to be a Strategic Planning.

I just got back from a wedding; I've had a lot to drink today.

I Basestar+5 Raiders at 7 o'clock
2 Vipers+1 Civilian at 5 o'clock

3. Hangar Assault: Damange 2 Vipers in the Reserves.

Apollo may use Alert Pilot to jump into a Viper and take an action, if he likes.

[Sudo_Nym]

As a note, the picture is wrong; the chart is correct. You can currently jump at risk of -3 population. I'm at work and also I don't feel like uploading a new picture to fix the track marker.

[Sudo_Nym]

Porochaz shoots 4 times, hits on 3+:

Original Roll String: 4d8

4 8-Sided Dice: (1, 4, 2, 5) = 12

[Sudo_Nym]

That's two kills, and that brings us to the crisis:

Pass: The President (Nexus) looks at 1 random Loyalty card of the current player (STD)

So, final contributions are:

Heavy Raider at 9 moves to 7
Jump Prep increases to 4: Can jump at risk of -1 Pop.

That brings us to Porochaz's turn; he must decide how to split his flex draw.

[Sudo_Nym]

Go for it. So long as you do so before Porochaz acts, I'm fine with it.

[Sudo_Nym]

That changes the outcome to a pass, so Nexus gets to look at STD's loyalty card. Porochaz may continue.

[Sudo_Nym]

Poro drew 2 Leadership.

[Sudo_Nym]

That's a hit. Anyone wish to play Evasive Maneuvers?

[Sudo_Nym]

1 8-Sided Dice: (2)-2 = 0

[Sudo_Nym]

[Sudo_Nym]

It's been over 24 hours, so I'm going to roll for it:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Sudo_Nym]

That's +2 Fuel. And that also takes us to the Sleeper Phase, so new loyalty cards are going out. Then Gamma can take his turn.

[Sudo_Nym]

Sleeper loyalty is out and Gamma has his hand, so Gamma can go when he's ready. Note that, as per her disadvantage, Boomer has been sent to the Brig.

[Sudo_Nym]

I'll allow the brig check, but you have to move to a spot on Galactica if it succeeds.

Zarek, would you like to use your friends in low places?

[Sudo_Nym]

Alright, the board does say any location. I'm getting mixed up with similar effects, which usually say "any location on Galactica".

[Sudo_Nym]

Well, then:

Brig Check
Difficulty 9

Pass: Boomer moves to Press Room

So that's a total of three cards in the skill check:

Executive Order- 2

For a total of 5- Boomer remains in the Brig.

Gamma does not draw a Crisis while in the Brig, but can still use her Intuition. Sending the top card.

[Sudo_Nym]

With that, it's now Nexus's turn

[Sudo_Nym]

I didn't see the unedited post, but if CDB can assure that no actual cheating has occurred, I don't mind people changing their minds.

[Sudo_Nym]

Alright, then, but you'll have to wait for me to get home before I can do anything about it.

[Sudo_Nym]

1 8-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Sudo_Nym]

Porochaz to choose to scout the Crisis or Destination deck. Won't be able to actually post the card scouted until I get home, though.

[Sudo_Nym]

CDB is first to contribute.

[Sudo_Nym]

Does anybody know about VASSAL? Because I just had to move to a new computer, and now VASSAL won't let me see the cards- I had to join as a player in order to manipulate the board, and now it won't let me look at the cards in anyone's hands.

[Sudo_Nym]

No, I can't join as Player 1, which is where all the cards are. I can join as player 2-7, which would grant me access to the board and pieces, but without access to player 1, I can't see or play any of the cards in anyone's hand.

[Sudo_Nym]

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to get access to the game back. Sorry about that, but it was a good game until that point. I can reveal the toasters, if people want.

[Sudo_Nym]

The other was Nexus. President Toaster this game.
