PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All

BSG #001 - SO SAY WE ALL

4 Players - Core Game - Pegasus - Cylon Fleet Board - Destination is Kobol

Rules

* Since rules are pretty standard throughout these PBFs, I will credit geek user Menteenblanco for the following text.

In order to participate, you must own a copy of game. This is a requirement by FFG.

Use normal text for any discussions. Please Bold any moves, actions, and decisions you are going to take. I will process nothing unless it is bolded. Use Italics for in-character/flavor talk. In-character talk is heavily encouraged and makes the game much more entertaining.

Private communication will be done via geekmail between me and other individuals. All other communication should be public in the thread. There should be no private messaging between players. If you have a question, go ahead and send me a geekmail. Messages to me should have a subject line of BSG #001 (Character Name).

As this is a PBF, all information is recorded. In the spirit of the game, I will request that no one look back more than one player turn if you need to refresh your memory. Please do not copy and paste skill check results.

Use the banners for your character when posting. Banners and any images you wish to use are located here: http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/item/1834905#item1834905. Many thanks to Gerryrailbaron.

Please subscribe to this thread, and try to check in at least once a day. The subscribe button is located near the top of the page. If you are going to be absent for an extended period (vacations, etc), please post in the thread or let me know so I can react accordingly.

The use of conditional orders (CO) is heavily encouraged as it speeds the game up. If you wish to send me a CO, please start your subject line with BSG #001 (Character Name). Public CO's are not allowed. In addition, I will assume the following standing CO's from all players at the beginning of the game:

Pass on all interrupts I don't have in my hand.
Pass on Declare Emergency
Pass on Strategic Planning
* on Launch Scout unless there is only one raptor remaining.
* on attacks by vipers or attacks by cylon ships.
Pass on Evasive Maneuvers unless it is the last ship protecting a civilian or a manned Viper.

You have a right to change any of these CO's if you wish, but you'll need to let me know via geekmail.

Follow the secrecy rules.
Some often overlooked secrecy violations include:

* Saying "medium" if you've played one card
* Talking about scouted cards (top or buried) beyond "good" or "bad"
* Identifying which cards/colors you played into a skill check
* Volunteering the contents of your hand if it's not directly relevant to the current discussion

That all being said, I am still human and will make mistakes and this will be my first Moderator game. Please be forgiving, as I will try to correct them as soon as I see them. Don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any question and please tell me if you notice any error!

Looks good man

Testing my new admin banner!

You will all have one when you have chosen your BSG characters!

Also, This would be a great time for you all to create a boardgamegeek account (if you don't already have one). This will be the primary way that you will be sending in your private orders to me and likewise this is how I will send you any info on cards you possess, etc.. IF you prefer to use your personal e-mails, we could do that too.

Cool. I got an email

Ryan will be helping me set this up and test certain features out.

Thank you for your patience.

Ryan, check your private messages as well on the forum interface.

any clue on how to change the forum to EST?

Still trying to figure this whole thing out..

How do you mean EST?

Eastern Standard Time

I will look into it. My priorities right now are getting all the photoshop files that I need in order. The main board should be done tonight I hope. I will post it when it is ready.

Now I will leave it up to you guys, do you know a 5th person (preferably who has played the game) to join. OR we can start sooner a 4 player game to test the system and so on, since we already have our 4 people. Let me know.

If we start a 4-player game, I can already start randomizing the start player and you can begin choosing characters etc while I finish setting up the rest!

Testing "Eastern Standard Time" Setting...

EDIT: Hmmm.. Did not work!

TEST 2

EDIT: GOT IT!

Rolling Dice Test:

Admin carried out 1 launched of one D100 :

84

Admin carried out 2 launched of one D8 :

8 , 5

EDIT: Kinda Works. I think it will change if ever message is edited.

Ok how did you do the time change. Its still wrong for me. Also th die test. Did it work?

For the time change, you need to change it in your profile. That worked for me. Let me know.

And no, no luck yet on the dice roll scripts

[Roll]d8[/roll]

Rolling Frenzy Test

Admin carried out 1 launched of one D4 :

2

Admin carried out 1 launched of one D6 :

6

Admin carried out 2 launched of one D8 :

2 , 1

Admin carried out 2 launched of one D20 :

15 , 2

Admin carried out 4 launched of one D100 :

23 , 5 , 15 , 45

[roll="d8"==]1[/roll]

I had to activate [roll] bbcode for the dice roll :  (in my admin settings)
Then I can create any type of dice I want.

Should work fine, however like I said. I need to be careful not to edit posts with dice rolls as they will be modified.

I see you got it. Can onlybthe admin roll?

Probably not.

However, in a PBF forum. Admin makes all rolls for players in this fashion.

EDIT: I still want to make some more tests tonight

Board Test. Ready State!

Everytime I post a board in the future, please let me know if you spot any errors. Thanks!



So how many players should we be for the first crack at BSG online? Still haven't heard from Jesse?

Just showed jesse the picture. He has some questions/reservations. I think we need five. And all have to be committed to at least checking once a night

This confuses me:

"I will assume the following standing CO's from all players at the beginning of the game:

Pass on all interrupts I don't have in my hand.
Pass on Declare Emergency
Pass on Strategic Planning
* on Launch Scout unless there is only one raptor remaining.
* on attacks by vipers or attacks by cylon ships.
Pass on Evasive Maneuvers unless it is the last ship protecting a civilian or a manned Viper."

Also, I will do what I can for "once a night".

ALSO, there are components on the board I'm not familiar with. I can only presume they are expansions we did not play with last time.

ALSOOOO.... Jesse's a frakkin' Cylon!
