Clearly you should come join the party happening in the hangar deck.

[Save The Dragons]

Guys

I think the guy above me might be a cylon

[Save The Dragons]

But that population loss...

I can turn those people into tasty cards!

[Save The Dragons]

If the admiral selects the die roll

I might be able to help plan

Us Costanzas have been known for our strategery. Let's just say I didn't become a pilot because I'm good at it

[Save The Dragons]

Play Strategic planning 3

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

I won't be putting anything in when my turn comes around because I really can't.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm just a nugget don't look at me for help

Put 0 cards in

[Save The Dragons]

Cylons? I'm scared! Hold me, Cally : 3

[Save The Dragons]

Seeing as we have 2 pilots now and may not later, I'm not opposed to that plan at the moment.

Though the active mission being on top means that if I tactical plot it now and we jump, the mission that I scouted is removed, right?

[Save The Dragons]

Holy crap I just looked at my hand and let's just say I'll be contributing to skill checks in a way that's as impactful as Hot Dog was to the events of the show

Anyway I'm discarding this to jump to Demetrius
Trust Instincts - 0 Skill Check: Add the top 2 cards from the Destiny deck faceup into this skill check (before totalling strength). Resolve skill check abilities on these cards.

Activate Tactical Plot

[Save The Dragons]

Keep that on top.

[Save The Dragons]

I can do nothing, any thoughts on the check?

[Save The Dragons]

*sigh*

My partying days ended when the planets blew up

-1 morale

pass

[Save The Dragons]

i reveal as a cylon!!!!!111!!!!!!1!!!!!one!!!1!!!lol!!1!!!!!onethousandonhundredeleven!!!!1!!!!!!!

oh wait no i don't. Not this time, anyway >.>

I move to the captains cabin and activate it.

I wander around in the captain's cabin, wondering where the captain of the Demetrius is and I accidentally knock over a book with an interesting yellow cover that is called "

History and Politics

of the 12 Colonies." Being a pilot, I'm not so good at reading so I put it back. But I feel like i learned something, so I radio back my new knowledge and everyone draws politics card! Yay!

[Save The Dragons]

pass

also note v/la

[Save The Dragons]

Put in nothing

[Save The Dragons]

Personally I'm kind of thinking ChannelDelibird might be a cylon so I think you should have used it on him.

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

but I don't know your loyalty for sure.

well okay i guess not like loyalty card loyalty makes sense.

[Save The Dragons]

^ I approve of this product and or service

[Save The Dragons]

the solution is have everyone draw skill cards related to the upcoming mission that will help us get distance

why is that terrible?

[Save The Dragons]

I literally have a hand full of crap so I admit I am a little biased towards rectifying that.

If you're concerned about cylon loyalties, there's the brig, there' the airlock, there's the greatest best ability in the entire game, which is your gun.

Frankly, my money's on Poro being a cylon since I'm not sure why prez romo lampkin would try and bluff this early. If I were you, I'd probably yolo blow his head off. maybe it's good i didn't get cally.

i'm not sure what you want me to say, though, if the priority is getting rid of the cylon (which I'll admit it probably should be over the card draw) then I think you know what options are available to you. I won't be a huge help in skill checks.

One thing though is if we're certain we could airlock poro and ask very nicely for mr. cylon destiny to toss his trechery cards there.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm so eager to get on this that I completely forgot you could have been a cylon so I said stuff like this:

I would vote for something more inspiring than the Research Lab. XOs are always nice? I would consider STD so he can throw skill cards at us and hopefully run a mission on his upcoming turn.

[Save The Dragons]

[Save The Dragons]

It's pretty much Love Boat: In Space!

[Save The Dragons]

I won't put anything in.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm totally walking around naked through the Demetrius

Go to bridge and activate to trigger mission

[Save The Dragons]

[Save The Dragons]

1 card in

[Save The Dragons]

srsly

do you know how much red I have on my hands

it's not blood from being a cylon

it's literally all the pilot cards i've been saving up because have no use for them so far

[Save The Dragons]

actually srsly

i saw "2 high" from jelly and was like, "well, i'll just dunk a low card against the check in just in case 2 high didn't mean 2 high"

[Save The Dragons]

i'm going to discard Red Tape

[Save The Dragons]

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

When we actually get a skill check that takes into account my skills as a pilot I might be able to help in skill checks.

I also will not escort at this time.

[Save The Dragons]

Can I have an update of my hand? (i know, so needy)

[Save The Dragons]

Hey Mr. So Called Cyclon. I

?
did someone hit your power button before you finished that thought?

[Save The Dragons]

tried to get it before you edited damn

now i look dumb thanks a lot cylon

[Save The Dragons]

discard Protect the Fleet - 0 Skill Check: If at least 3 Strength in piloting Skill Cards are in this skill check, the current player may activate one unmanned viper.

[Save The Dragons]

To your peers, I'm sure you look like a brain trust. To me, you all look like dumb amorphous blobs.

no i'm hot dog

to my peers, i look like a dumb amorphous blob.
kind of like this:

Spoiler:

[Save The Dragons]

Isn't that still damaged?

[Save The Dragons]

The Pegasus manages to fire upon itself, which is frankly almost impressive, and the Pegasus Main Batteries are damaged. I think this version of Leoben might be crosseyed.

[Save The Dragons]

play strategic planning 3

[Save The Dragons]

wait fuck

gods damn it

[Save The Dragons]

No not really

[Save The Dragons]

i need like a billion cards before i can go (the 5 for my turn and the 3 -1 for the latest pop loss).

i bookmarked this thread so i'll try to be better about actually paying attention.

[Save The Dragons]

Discard Violent Outburst 4 to move back to Galactica, hangar deck. Launch myself in a viper, in the bottom right section with the 3 raiders.

Then use Executive Order 2 on JDGA.

[Save The Dragons]

I personally would like a crisis with which I can use some of my cards so I'm not opposed

[Save The Dragons]

I could probably solo this tbh

Can you send an updated hand please

[Save The Dragons]

or rather I have to discard 7 cards so I'm probably going to put a bunch of cards regardless in this check since it's my color(s)

[Save The Dragons]

pass on interupts

[Save The Dragons]

Just going to throw this out there

I'm still tossing in like 7 cards

[Save The Dragons]

Sorry I forgot. I do want that basestar and heavy raider.

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

Can I get my hand (I lost like 10 cards )

[Save The Dragons]

Evasive Maneuver 2

[Save The Dragons]

Spoiler:

[Save The Dragons]

Going to guess XOs are probably not in your wheelhouse. XOing one of the three people able to take shots at raiders would be cool.

You could:
Repair main batteries
Repair mark 7s

If you don't have that I don't really know. I mean you could go to Captains Cabin and give us all cards or go to Demetrius try to do mission things

[Save The Dragons]

Also aren't we at 2 distance?

[Save The Dragons]

I am beyond tempted to play that but I'm taking a mafia break.

pass on interupts

[Save The Dragons]

good effort cylon

but i think we'll pass...

Spoiler:

the check

ohhhhhhhhhh

[Save The Dragons]

1 high

[Save The Dragons]

Piloting please

[Save The Dragons]

i am probably going to do something to help lower the raiders in the 3 o'clock position but it doesn't guarantee that the civvie will be saved so if someone has a better idea speak now or forever hold your peace

[Save The Dragons]

arg i must have typed this out and forgot to post

Move to Hangar Deck

Play Combat Veteran 4: Activate 3 vipers

shoot 3 raiders in the 3 o clock space zone

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 5, 5) = 11

[Save The Dragons]

Going to choose the die roll and wait 24 hours for a stragic planning aftereads if i dont sudo can roll

[Save The Dragons]

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (8) = 8

[Save The Dragons]

I'm probably going to do galactica twice to avoid hitting people

[Save The Dragons]

Galactica twice

:/

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

I forget, sorry

0 cards

[Save The Dragons]

My contribution won't be any I don't have these colors.

[Save The Dragons]

I thought you loved us

[Save The Dragons]

I can help a bit with that skill check but not enough on my own to overcome destiny.

Pass on interrupts though

[Save The Dragons]

I guess 0 then

[Save The Dragons]

I am in sickbay. I literally escaped sickbay to the hangar deck only to damage it and land me back into sickbay on my turn XD

I am also a worse pilot than JDGA so I don't mind doing Demetrius stuff if we can trust JDGA.

[Save The Dragons]

But you guys... you don't fight, noone was there to say, "hold up, don't be so stupid"

I was busy all day Sunday and that literally happened in 6 hours, you silly Cylon.

[Save The Dragons]

Discard Bait (Treachery 0) and Maximum Firepower (Piloting 4)

[Save The Dragons]

Pass

[Save The Dragons]

One tactics

[Save The Dragons]

Willing to do Demetrius stuff

[Save The Dragons]

Discard Launch Scout - 1

To go to Demetrius: Captain's cabin. Everyone draws one leadership card.

[Save The Dragons]

pass

[Save The Dragons]

With JGDA as our only pilot,

Technically I'm a pilot too hahahaha just kidding everyone, I'm Hot Dog.

I can do more cards, at some point I might want to sneak over to the mission too, and also at some point I might want to get rid of my mutiny card; it's not a happy effect but one we could afford.

[Save The Dragons]

I'll XO JDGA with

Executive Order - 1

[Save The Dragons]

If there's a reason for me to move LLD out of the brig, I'd speak now or forever hold your peace.

[Save The Dragons]

You're ignoring JDGA's contribution of 4, so the total is 11 - 3 so 8. If it's 14+ then I'm going to put in:

At Any Cost - 5
Launch Scout - 2
Bait - 0 (I need to get rid of this card since if I discard it I go to the brig)

For a total of 15, + destiny, we should be good.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm not freeing LLD, sorry.

If I can remove the card that adds to treachery to destiny to prevent that from happening then I'll damage the viper for that, otherwise I won't.

[Save The Dragons]

From the reserves, please.

[Save The Dragons]

Bait adds a Civilian ship behind Galactica.

Don't forget about that, is that lost?

[Save The Dragons]

If you're a cylon

you're pretty bad at it

[Save The Dragons]

For me, I'm dead convinced JDGA isn't a cylon, and I'm not a cylon, which means it's either you or the last card and there's only one cylon for now. The progression for shooting Sky_Paladin seemed forced to me.

I am sorry you are upset, I know this game to be a lot of fun.

[Save The Dragons]

-1 pop? Aw yeah...sweet sweet card draw.

Hot Dog: turning people into better piloting since the fall of the 12 colonies.

I guess maybe I'm like inspired or something.

[Save The Dragons]

That low morale is really scary :/

I'm about to draw 3, keep 2 piloting cards because of that pop loss, so card draw will be helpful probably but being ready to help fight the fleet will likely be even better. If for some strange reason LLD isn't a cylon we're probably screwed and we really need all the help we can get anyway.

But killing the fleet doesn't matter if we're dead. Avoiding morale crises might not be effective enough as raising the morale. Arg.

[Save The Dragons]

I reveal...
...that I am determined to give out tactics cards.

I'll activate captains cabin once for Tactics

With my other action (sorry for going off book) I'm going to play

Test the Limits - 5 Action: If the fleet marker is not on a blue space of the Jump Preparation track, increase the track by 1 and roll a die. If 5 or lower, damage Galactica.

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[Save The Dragons]

Don't scream

[Save The Dragons]

Possibly but I figure if Sky_Paladin wants to draw SPs for crises and I'm denying everyone the chance to grab them anyway to play that card I'd rather not waste one on it if we only get like one between us.

Damaging the ship might suck but it's not going to be the death of us, at least that's how I feel.

[Save The Dragons]

Thats what i meant sorry for the quorom cards

[Save The Dragons]

I cant help at all during this check btw

pass on interupts

edit: tags

[Save The Dragons]

I got nothing
0 cards

[Save The Dragons]

I count 9 so on the off chance there's a declare emergency that can be played we could still pass that

[Save The Dragons]

Assuming I'm activating for 2 tactics? I'll ask this time.

[Save The Dragons]

Activate Captain's Cabin twice for tactics cards

[Save The Dragons]

It's actually been a while since I've played exodus, but...

Did Sky_paladin draw a new loyalty card after being shot?

[Save The Dragons]

I'm also likely to go back over to galatica to fix things or head to pegasus to either engine room or shoot things, so any preferences?

[Save The Dragons]

Well fuck I feel dumb now.

If we were playing face to face at a table and I looked over towards where he's sitting, does he have 1 unrevealed loyalty card and one face up or just one unrevealed card or two unrevealed cards?

[Save The Dragons]

It is also possible that the cylon card has remained undrawn, yes?

I guess my biggest concern is I'm not sure if it's in anyone's best interest, if they were a cylon, to remain on the human fleet and just wait it out as opposed to trying to mess with stuff as a cylon.

wrt fuel is it possible to compile a list of all destinations we've gone to? If it's possible to obtain that without looking through the thread I'd like that.

I suppose I have more pressing concerns.

Also is pegasus still damaged or did we fix that?

[Save The Dragons]

The self interest question wasn't for you

[Save The Dragons]

I think it's actually impossible for me to even brig JDGA even if we got convinced 100% she's a cylon (and I'm nowhere near there) so this discussion is pointless for now.

I think I'm going to jump to galactica, discarding

Establish Network - 0

go to the hanger deck and us a

repair

.

Will you send me an updated hand?

[Save The Dragons]

Let's go ahead and roll and I will use a

Strat Plan - 5

so add 2 to this:

Original Roll String: 1d8

1 8-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[Save The Dragons]

Discard launch scout 1

[Save The Dragons]

960 was a little suspicious in my mind, but like I said I wasn't convinced and I couldn't do anything about it anyway. So well played.

I think we're pretty much hosed and have been for a while now, but I'll do my best.

[Save The Dragons]

Eh to be fair I've been distracted by other things and just recently kind of gave a second thought to this game and kind of thought "maybe it isn't LLD." (Literally, like 2 days ago when I realized you drew a new card, and then again when JDGA gave a defensive post about fuel).

I think my inactivity didn't really help that much. I, too, wish LLD had done more once brigged, but I cannot begrudge her for being upset nor is it by virtue of her alone that we're in this situation.

I suppose we (by we I mean I) did have an opportunity to unbrig LLD. I don't really know if her fingering JDGA would have changed my mind, or what would have, though.

Ironically I didn't think JDGA was a cylon for the reasons LLD is mentioning: if she were a cylon, she really could have just left us afloat with a subpar pilot and kept moving the fleet/attacking morale. So maybe a slower death at the cost of leading the humans on for longer. Still, sometimes giving up control and turning cylon can be dangerous, especially if people aren't coming after you, but I think 9/10 times it does give you more power.

[Save The Dragons]

Fuck I should have probably conditionaled my opg. w/e

I get cards for pop loss though.

[Save The Dragons]

I only get piloting

[Save The Dragons]

I think turning around and deciding that the humans are worth saving is a pretty good plan

[Save The Dragons]

I'm very neutered at this point. I think we need to get people out of here and get rid of the admiralty, so that 2nd plan might be a good idea.

[Save The Dragons]

You know me i'm just a rebel

[Save The Dragons]

Can I get my hand?

We can probably take some time for this if you're away.

For me I think I have piloting cards to drop from the pop loss and I'm drawing cards anyway so as long as others can contribute it will be doable.

Whether it's worth it, well, it is a risk. The raptor is w/es and the only danger is if FTL or the fuel chip is drawn. It might be worth it to just let it go since we don't have much to lose anyway, honestly.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm not sure we should spend resources on this.

...but I have a high card to burn that may not be so useful elsewhere so I still can help.

[Save The Dragons]

I agree the airlock is in danger of getting busted.

If airlock goes, we might be in trouble, but if we hit the fuel or the ftl, we'll be just as bad, if not worse.

So Pegasus is probably the way to go.

[Save The Dragons]

When I look back and think upon who this game has been truly awful, painful, and absolutely hateful to, you come in at a solid 4th

[Save The Dragons]

quick? really?

[Save The Dragons]

If I can get out of the brig on LLD's turn I can remove the admiral title from JDGA.

(Also, hand please)

[Save The Dragons]

I can't help.

0 cards.

[Save The Dragons]

I think that it is hard to play optimally when you're not face to face. It's hard to pay attention on other people's turns even with conditional actions. I wish I had been able to pay more attention.

It probably didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, but I do wish the LLD/sky thing had happened differently. It influenced my opinion on LLD too much so I was pretty unwilling to help.

That said the cylons played pretty well, too, I guess I was a sucker for JDGA being like "I'm going to spend all billion of my actions removing raiders."

I think with a cylon leader, we couldn't really afford to make any mistakes with our accusations, which was disappointing because since we did we were pretty much screwed. Especially since I'm convinced Hot Dog is pretty disappointing. Yay piloting cards. Maybe if I had been piloting it would have been a little better.

I did have fun though! Thanks to all of you who played and thanks to Sudo_Nym for hosting.

[Save The Dragons]

I think there's a lot of moving parts, and it might be easier if players had less options. I know I felt pretty silly when I'm like "wow, I could have probably done that if I were paying attention." It's hard to give a game of this scope the attention it requires on a forum. Another thing is like when I was dumb and didn't realize Sky Paladin could have been a cylon because he still had a card. In real life I would have known right away because I can look over there and be like "whoa he's got a card face down."

I thought you ran it pretty well and were always quick to update. I always have fun with this game.
