You have convinced me enough to look into it. I will keep you posted.

Upon review of the forums and FAQ:

Conclusion, the wording on the COMMAND loaction is garbage.

We will treat it as having "2 activations", so yes the same viper may be activated several times as per Gaeta's earlier scenario.

Carry on !

So Roslin, that means the best use of your XO would be on Admiral Tigh, however we should seriously address the Cylon-like move he just made by letting us lose the Skill Check; he did not play a card that not only would have let us pass, but that he knew he would lose anyway due to his drunken shenanigans!

I forgot about my drunken effect and it being my last car . Also ibdidnt think we would need it considering I put in four cards in favour of passing.

It's always the most plausible reasons that turn out to be a LIE!

I told you I was going in very weak, and Roslin couldn't go in at all. That left you and Apollo to take the lead, and Apollo needed to save some cards for his move on the Raiders. The Destiny Deck had a higher chance of working against us since only two skills were involved in the check. You failed to take all this into consideration? For shame!

I might be willing to let it go this time, but like Spider-Man said, "Everybody gets one"...

BY CO: Roslin plays 2-Executive Order on Admiral Tigh

Admiral, what do you want to do?

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

BY CO:

Action 1: Tigh activates Command to move unmanned viper from sector 3 to sector 2
That viper then attacks a Raider: 7. HIT!

Action 2: Tigh activates Command again.. the assault continues: 4. HIT!
Attacks one more time: 4.

All three Raiders destroyed!

2 Crisis cards have been sent to Roslin - Please select one to play and the other to bury!

Wow! Great work, Admiral! We're on a roll! Roslin, let's try getting a "Prepare to jump" icon so we can get one step closer to Kobol!

Also, when it's time to actually make the jump, I have an idea to preserve fuel. There's a Politics card that can reduce the loss of any resource for a turn, so using it on fuel that turn would be a smart move.

There has been a sad passing of a dear crew member, it turns out she was a Cylon! How could it be? The Cylons look like us now... But she was a vital, living person aboard this ship for almost 2 years. She couldn't have been just a machine.. Could you love a machine?

Roslin passes on interrupts.

So I can help out with the skill check, but as I am losing 2 more cards either way, I will end up with practically nothing in my hand if I toss in for the check.

If I keep my cards I can call in some favours from contacts from my Presidential days to see about mitigating any fuel loss from a jump.

Everyone passes on interrupts!

Gaeta you are up, will you play cards into the Skill Check?

Crisis

Loss Of A Friend 9YG

Destiny: 2 cards

Apollo: 1 card
Roslin: PASS
Gaeta: PASS (max 3)
Tigh: PASS - No cards

Admiral, we would only have lost morale if the total strength was zero or negative, but don't worry about it; I forgive you Let's focus on the task at hand.

I'd like to know how strong Apollo can play for this one. Based on what he might have left in his hand, it's unlikely he can contribute much, if at all.

Roslin, thank you for posting that in advance, especially knowing that you hold the most strength in this Check. Going forward, it would be good if everyone proactively gave such indication when Skill Checks come around. It will save time instead of someone having to ask and delaying the turn. In this case, I already know Tigh has nothing left.

Roslin, I can also protect our fuel (being the master of FTL Control ), but I feel like it would have more impact if you go in as strong as you can. However, that would mean I'm going in VERY weak. Depending on Apollo's participation, please advise what you feel is best. Maybe we both should just go all in? It is also likely the Destiny Deck could work against us. Please take that into consideration, too.

We can't lose this one, team! We may have Raiders under control, but we're dangerously low on Skill Cards.

I agree with Gaeta in that the more info you can post upfront and the more CO's you can send me the quicker the game will advance!

I personally think that the pace has been decent so far but it could be even better.

P.S. This is especially true when it comes to playing interrupts or for your conditional draws.

Roslin, please refer to my last post as it was edited.

If someone tosses in the smallest amount of help, I can guarantee that we will pass this. I will be left with 0 cards.

How do people feel about taking the resource hit and I can keep some of my cards and be of more help in future crises?

Subject: Re: PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All Sun Dec 21, 2014 12:14 pm

Admin I need you to clarify a rule for Gaeta. My card had a ** which you said would make the negative effect happen regardless of outcome

Subject: Re: PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All Sun Dec 21, 2014 12:22 pm

Failing a crisis isn't optimal but I do feel like losing a morale is less important than what might come next. In this game population will be key PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All - Page 7 Pic1263085_md

Admiral, the ** only comes into effect if the Crisis also has a ** in it.

It looks like majority is okay with taking a hit to morale. Roslin, don't forget we will see what cards you drop, so they better be the lesser loss

As per the team's discussion, I will not play any cards into this Skill Check as our decision is to deliberately fail.

I will not play cards into this skill check.

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

You had 0-Iron Will **. This is a SKILL CHECK ability so it would have been resolved had it been played into said Skill Check. However, it's effects clearly state that "If total strength in this skill check is within 4 of the difficulty, do not trigger the fail effect. If total strength in this skill check is 0 or less, lose 1 morale."

The result of the Skill Check was 8. Therefore, you would not have suffered -1 morale.

I think you may have been confused with Crisis cards that have a "Skill Check Ability Consequenc" on it such as we have seen with the Crisis Card Threat of Super Nova:

Threat of Super Nova (SKILL CHECK) 10GRB
(strength = 10, Positive colors red, green, blue)
PASS: NO EFFECT
FAIL: -1 Population and damage Galactica
Skill Check Ability Icon **: Consequence is activate Basestar(s)
Cylon Ship Activation: Heavy Raider(s)
Jump Prep Icon: YES

If the Crisis card does not specifically state Skill Check Ability Icon **: Consequence on it then nothing more than the ability on the card is resolved.

I hope this makes sense..

Apollo to speak before Roslin

Apollo will you add cards to the Skill Check?

Shuffle and Reveal:

5-Preventative Policy (Discarded due to Red Tape)
0-Red Tape **
2-Major Victory

Red Tape discards all 5 and 6 strength cards from Skill Check (before totaling strength)

Result: 2 - 0 = 2
FAIL!

Morale reduces to 9
Roslin discards 1-Support The People and 3-Declare Emergency

Heavy Raiders Activate. Basestar launch pad is damaged so AGAIN nothing happens.

Jump Prep track advances to Blue-1

Gaeta draws 2 Tactics, 1 Engineering, 1 Politics and 1 Leadership for his Receive Skill Steps
