Admiral, you know the Basestar can still shoot Galactica, right? Or are you so drunk you've forgotten?

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

Roslin has a revelation of conditioned events to come.. The scrolls tell us that a dying leader will lead us to salvation.

Roslin has buried one Crisis Card and has chosen..

Crisis

Fulfillment Of Prophecy 6YG

This is a current player chooses card.

By CO: Roslin chooses the OR option.

Roslin discards 1-Consolidate Power.

The damaged basestar still lingering around decides to launch it's cannons at Galactica!
Roll: 3. The fleet can breathe easy, that just misses!

2 More Crisis cards have been sent to Roslin.

Roslin please choose one to play and the other to bury!

Tigh, you're lucky that Basestar missed us, otherwise I would have smacked you!

Roslin, if you believe we couldn't beat a Crisis of 6YG, why would it be a good decision to draw a potentially worse Crisis card versus just taking a tiny population hit? Aren't we at 11 population?? I don't agree with your decision.

The second Crisis Card chosen by Roslin is...

Crisis

A Verdict Of Guilty

Admiral the choice is yours!!

This should be interesting...

Any advice here would be Helpful

I am more convinced now Roslin is a Cylon and purposely put us in this difficult situation. She took the less advantageous decision without consulting us during the first Crisis on her turn and led us to this 2nd Crisis, likely hoping we would let Galactica take the double damage instead of letting her get executed. Considering the Basestar will try attacking us again (and will likely succeed this time), compounded with the double damage this Crisis could cause, we would become one step away from losing the game, not to mention Tigh could potentially return to Sick Bay.

Tigh, you should have gotten rid of that Basestar when you had the chance, but what's done is done. I vote to let Roslin get executed. The Admiral does not have anything to discard, so it would be our only "loss". Roslin put us in this mess and should now pay the price.

Mr. Gaeta, I did make a unilateral choice, as have most of the rest of you at some point during our journey. Why have people play cards into a skill check when I can simply toss one of my many weak cards to simply make it go away?

I have the ability to foresee what may be and have been using it to steer us clear of danger. Seems to me using this ability as often as possible is a good thing.

We would have to have dealt with the both the two additional crises that I pulled as a result if I hadn't made that choice; one of which was such a lose-lose that I instead chose to put my life on the line.

Admiral, I can consolidate some power and help out in the repair efforts.

Losing one Morale would not be very good at all but Roslin your inability to do any actions is very limiting and it would take a long time to repair that much damage. I am still not convinced on whats the best course of action

Admiral,

Please allow me to reiterate some facts for you.

1 - My choosing to pull the extra crisis card did not present us with a crisis we would have otherwise avoided. If I had not made the decision to pull the extra crisis card you still would have had to make this decision. You are simply making it earlier.

2. My pulling the extra crisis card allowed us to avoid a very bad crisis that would have had the President making a very difficult choice instead. Both crises were terrible, but this one is actually easier to recover from, should you choose to damage ships. My decision saved us from a horrible crisis that would have been pulled on a subsequent turn.

3. I can pull cards to potentially aid us in repairing whichever ship is damaged. I know that I am crippled when it comes to activating locations, but I can still travel to ships and toss cards at repairs. And it is better to have me do it rather than someone who can freely activate locations.

4. I am NOT A FRAKKING CYLON. You will be killing a human being and the only one who can continue to steer us away from the worst of two evils. I took a calculated risk and whichever action you choose it is still better than either of the options on the crisis I saved us from.

Roslin, you made a good point about us having to eventually deal with this Crisis regardless of your prior decision; however, even if you're implying it was part of your strategy to filter through more Crisis cards, I cannot think of any worse consequences than having to choose between executing a player and taking 2 (most likely 3) damage to our ships, besides straight-out losing the game (which would be unlikely at this point).

Knowing what awaited us on that other Crisis card, you're telling us that practically fatally wounding Galactica AND your own execution are better. This means that you either willingly accepted the option of your death, or you're trying to play off the fact that we would avoid executing you at any cost.

I will also point out that by consolidating power, you can't guarantee pulling Repair cards.

Regardless of what you say at this point and your loyalty to us, the situation is boiled down to this: potentially losing 1 morale (if you're human) and your ability to choose the lesser Crisis versus losing up to 3 of our locations AND possibly having innocent crew members sent to Sick Bay. For me, this is an easy decision.

It would be regarded as a great sacrifice for the humans if you are not revealed to be a Cylon, and you should nonetheless be satisfied having done your duty to protect us. Maybe we'll do something to commemorate you, like rename one of our presidential locations after you.

Admiral, I hope this helps.

Space her

Admiral, you've made a grave mistake.

I hope you get these people home.

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

All the suspicion surrounding Roslin over the last few days has led to one thing... the Airlock!

Space Her - Admiral Tigh

The Admiral has spoken.. Roslin has been Executed!

She discards 2-Consolidate Power, 2-Consolidate Power and 0-Iron Will **

Roslin reveals "You are NOT a Cylon" - Final Five: if this card is examined, you are executed

Morale drops to 6

Admiral Tigh has no cards left to discard

Psykhe, a new character must be chosen.. please advise!

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

Meanwhile...

Basestar fires at Galactica... Roll=3. Another near miss!

The Jump Prep track advances to Blue-2 (Possible population loss of 1)

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

Going forward, we should all refer to the President's Office as the Roslin Memorial Office when accessing that location.

Though accused of being misguided - and a dirty Cylon - none can argue any longer against Roslin having the best intentions for humanity at heart. Her numerous sacrifices for Galactica will always be remembered, and to commemorate this wonderful individual's heroic deeds, we dedicate the President's Office to her.

*Apollo raises the plaque and drill's it in above the door*

From this day forward, let it be known to all: if you're looking for Quorum cards, you will find them in the Roslin Memorial Office!

Gaeta please post movement and action when ready!

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

First of all, allow me to welcome Cally to Galactica. If you need anything, here's my number: (555)-UR2-CUTE. Also, feel free to be my girlfriend. And please don't shoot us unless you think we're Cylons.

That being said, I need help making my next move. I could take a shot at the Basestar again, but I don't have an SP and I risk blowing up one of Pegasus' locations. I nevertheless feel obligated to take this action because Tigh helped me start the job, but didn't finish it, and as soon as we jump, that Basestar will be good as new.

Alternatively, I can Repair some "Super Vipers", or give everyone an extra action. The latter would cost me a powerful card and us a resource, and since we're generally lacking Skill cards, it makes more sense for me to hold onto it. Using it, however, allows Tigh to fire at the Basestar, Cally to follow suit, if necessary, or collect something from the Research Lab, and maybe lets Apollo use a good Action card. I really think we should focus on getting more Quorum cards to help rebuild some Resources, as well.

As a last, interesting option, I could just move to the Engine Room to be XO'ed in an upcoming turn to Scout ahead and maybe get an extra jump prep...

What does everyone think?

Subject: Re: PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:53 pm

Scouting ahead sounds good. I wouldnt worry too much about that basestar. We also have a new hot engineer on Galatica.... If needs be I can use my Once per game power to become president and move to colonial one to get quarom cards. Our Cag needs to stay in space to protect Vipers and Cally is now free to move about Galactica and perform actions.

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

I agree, Admiral.

I move to Engine Room and play 1-Consolidate Power to draw one Politics and one Engineering card. I'll Scout ahead when someone gives me an XO to determine whether the Engine Room needs to be used. Drawing cards seems more important right now to counter any Skill Check Apollo and I might face.

Welcome Cally, think you can get one of those improved vipers up and running for me? I need a new ride

Thanks Felix, but I make no promises.

And Yessir, Admiral. Just let me know how I can help.

Okay Apollo. I'll see what I can do for ya.

Subject: Re: PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:37 am

Okay I will choose the -1 food option, discarding 2 cards

Sorry Gaeta, this is going to cost you and me some options, but it's better then being out of food.
