Battlestar Galactica- Crisis! Nexus to contribute

[Nexus]

wow.

[Save The Dragons]

ffs doesn't tell me anything about what cards you put in

[Save The Dragons]

I could have asked I guess.

Tbh I'm more concerned about poro but it's his turn next.

[Nexus]

I put in two low cards because I assumed others could cover my ass. Clearly I was mistaken.

[ChannelDelibird]

Well, this is why it helps to say high, medium or low when we're playing in. Think I support Zarek's move there in the circumstances.

[Sudo_Nym]

Contributions are:
Porochaz- 1
Gamma - 0
Nexus- 2
CDB- 0
STD- 0
Destiny- 2

For a total of 5 cards:

Consolidate Power- 2

Declare Emergency- 3
Executive Order- 1

Evasive Maneuvers- 2

Repair- 1

For a total of 3: -1 Morale, and STD must discard 2 cards.

No Heavy Raiders to activate; Jump Prep increases to 2 (No Jump)

STD must choose 2 cards to discard.

[Save The Dragons]

I really should be playing better. :/

Discarding these:

Consolidate Power - Action:

Draw 2 Skill Cards of any type(s). They may come from outside your skill set. Strength 1

Consolidate Power - Action:

Draw 2 Skill Cards of any type(s). They may come from outside your skill set. Strength 1

[Sudo_Nym]

That brings us to Poro to decide on his draws and then move.

[Porochaz]

I'll take 2 leadership please!

[ChannelDelibird]

I think this is a time that we should be using for scouting. I could do one on an XO but I wouldn't have a particularly useful second action.

[Porochaz]

That was utter bullshit. Both from CDB's point of view and especially from STD's, at this point what I would be most inclined to do is to put STD in the brig. Either way XOing for me, is not on the cards.

[ChannelDelibird]

Well, you'd get no help from me in brigging Zarek. Mistakes can be made in this game (I've quite visibly made some of my own earlier) but I'm much more suspicious of the motives behind, say, Roslin drawing Piloting and both of you being unwilling to communicate about how much you're playing into skill checks. I know that you know well enough to say things like 'high' or 'low' or, god forbid, talk about how much we can help with checks before we start all playing in.

Can you scout?

[ChannelDelibird]

In other news, I'm starting to get real leery about Apollo once again not having any XOs.

[Save The Dragons]

Poro I am very hard to brig. I got friends, you see.

The only way you'll get me in the brig is with that insta-brig cylon card in your hand.

[Porochaz]

I do have an XO, I would use it exclusively on Nexus.

You so readily defending STD, STD not asking anyone about what they have put into the pot and just proceeding to make sure two players waste their cards, when they are actually needed and important. I didn't post the amount was because I was on my DS at the time. If you had asked, I would have said and furthermore if someone needed to check my alignment then they could have organised it a little better than this. People make mistakes sure, but this is so scummy, I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

Because really when all is said and done, what have you learnt about me and nexus for that crisis? Oh wait, what we have learned is that neither of us have an opportunity to take a blue card. So that's destiny. I have the opportunity to take red, so I guess that could be one of mine, you are saying nexus took a piloting at some point as well so it could be his. But why would nexus throw a red in, and then throw a yellow/green in as well, kind of defeats the purpose especially if he thought others were playing... conversely I get loads of reds, why would I only throw one in. Granted this is somewhat wifom, but at this stage I think we can safely say Nexus, probably not a cyclon, me, well, that's up to you guys. However, from my p.o.v it's two of you three and considering the way STD has just played...

[Nexus]

I genuinely forgot to say what level my cards were. Like you said - we all make mistakes.

[Save The Dragons]

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.

[Save The Dragons]

ITT we playin' mafia now

[ChannelDelibird]

If I meant that the lack of communication about skill checks was relevant to that single check only, I'd have said so. It's been a regular thing - although, similar criticisms can be levelled at Gamma as well so we know at least one human is being less than ideally helpful but I definitely think it's advantageous for the Cylons to encourage such an approach. Zarek has been the most regularly open player about this sort of thing which is part of the reason why I trust him more. I also think that players are more likely to want to try to see what others have put into a skill check (even if the logic doesn't hold up, as STD rightly points out, the intent is there) if said players haven't said anything about how high their contributions are.

At any rate, typing "I can help low, is it worth it?" or similar on a DS is not, I would argue, harder than sending a PM for cards and then posting how many you've played in. That's more my issue with you than accusing you of spiking this particular check. By the time it got to STD, your plays were bolded and sent and done.

Can you scout?

[ChannelDelibird]

In other news, brigging people denies us crisis cards, which we really need right now while the board is quiet, given our resources-to-distance ratio.

[Porochaz]

Well considering as I've said, for me its likely 2 of the 3 of you and one of you is already in the brig... And actually is potentially the one I trust the most.

Also finding cylons while it's quiet seems better than when we have a fuck ton on us.

Also again, it makes your decision to put no cards into the gamma skill check a bit hypocritical.

I have a launch scout which I will use but I think the are more important things I could be doing. If others could weigh in.

[ChannelDelibird]

I don't know why you're not including Roslin as plausible scum, especially if you're basing it only on that skill check just now.

Re: Gamma, he is statistically the most likely Cylon and can still be useful in the brig because his character is designed to spend time there and can help to ensure that the crises we do get are more likely to have jump icons. Keeping my cards then was reasonable, and keeping them now would be entirely reasonable as well.

[Gammagooey]

hihi

Personally think Nexus makes the most sense as a cylon here, I don't like the indecisiveness after the sleeper phase and given his ability not getting brigged before he can bring out a big angry basestar crisis would seem pretty important

maaybe std as the other for taking the morale hit instead of playing an extra few cards but admittedly morale isnt super crucial right now and my opinion on him being the second cylon is a lot closer to guesswork than the nexus suspicion is

[Porochaz]

I will launch Scout

[Porochaz]

I've been wrong about CDB too many times, and I thought he was town up until this last round.
