PBF: BSG #001 - So Say We All

I have edited the image above to include Skill Card draws

Also all Skill Cards have been sent to players.

Please never be too specific about cards in your hand or what you add to Skill Checks. Saying you can contribute a lot or not a much is fine. Saying I can XO somebody is fine as long as you don't list every card in your hand, Saying I played the consolidate power and declare emergency in the last check is NOT good, etc.. the rules here are iffy on secrecy, it's a fine line but let's do our best to keep the integrity of the game. If I see something that crosses the line, I will make the "hard call" and jump in

Ok, back to the adventure!!

LEE ADAMA please post your movement and action when ready

Also, Apollo, don't forget you can activate one unmanned Viper as a free action as CAG.

As I'm fourth to go ill just wait to see what's going on.

Don't get too comfy, Admiral; we're gonna need you in the Skill Check... unless you're planning to sit out during the Crisis like a toaster motherfrakker

I hate the toasters as much as the next human. Now get me a drink! That's an order!

Admiral I'm going for those raiders

Okay boys lets do this!

I move from 5 to 6, and activate a viper

Apollo, you have to specify how you're activating a Viper. Are you launching it from Galactica, and into which sector? Or are you moving an existing one?

Also, did you read my suggestions at all? You basically did nothing this turn. Very questionable... I already have my prime Cylon suspect.

By the way, Admiral, here's your drink.
*pours two glasses of Scotch and raises one*
To defeating the Cylons!

My apologies, I'm very new to the game, okay lets try this again:

I move from 5 to 6 and activate a viper from reserve, launching from the Galactica into 6

As for me not doing much, lets just say i want to see what you guys do first.

So saving a Civilian ship is not one of your priorities? If you're human, we're in this together. You know if a Raider destroys a Civilian ship we lose resources, right? By getting them off the board (escorting them), we reduce that risk. You just moved further away from them, and if your intention was to attack Raiders, you had unmanned Vipers in position to move to do so.

Don't worry about being new to the game. We're more than happy to help out. It's only my second time playing. Seriously, though, you're #1 on my list of possible Cylons right now.

Apollo - For your action were you using the CAG action: Once per turn, if you are piloting a viper, you may activate 1 unmanned viper and then take another action.
If so, you still have another action to take

HardSix please as much as possible use a banner at the top of your posts.

Appreciate it

Oh, okay you know what, screw it.
For my action I will move into 1

The Cylons did not take lightly to Apollo charging sector 1. It seems we have a standoff!

Crisis

Détente

CAG Apollo, this choice belongs to you. When you have made a decision regarding the crisis you may boldly post it. How do you wish to proceed?

I'm open to advice...

I think we can take the hit. Let them fire. Keep the vipers out there.

So there's no Skill Check for this? It's a straight-out decision? If that's the case, I vote to return all Vipers to Reserves. If Raiders get activated, Apollo will end up in Sick Bay AND we might permanently lose the Viper he's in. If Basestar is activated, then we're looking at a potentially damaged Galactica, and possibly someone else heading to Sick Bay with Apollo.

President Roslin, I don't agree with your suggestion. Please justify it. We can attack the existing and newly launched Raiders in upcoming turns using Galactica. I'm not worried about the Cylon Pursuit Track right now since there's nothing on it.

True, recalling they be the safer option. And looking back on the low number of piloting cards we have might actually be the better choice.

The odds, according to my 1 am brain, were in out favour with the dice, but you're right, it's still a risk.

I think I read the card too quickly. I thought it was damaging all the deployed vipers if Apollo chose the first course of action. My bad.

62.5% chance we get hit by the Basestar, and three times a 50% chance Apollo's going to Sick Bay, not to mention if a successful Raider gets an 8, the Viper is permanently destroyed. Thank you for realizing the safer option.

Apollo, the decision is in your hands. You've heard what two of us have to say.

I'm glad my talented crew effectively navigated this threat while i was on my sleep cycle.

All vipers have been safely returned to the "Reserves" with Apollo in the Hangar deck

Pursuit track advanced to Civ-1. By CO Apollo places a Civilization ship in sector 5

Finally, the Basestar launches 3 more raiders

Turn 1-2 President Roslin



President Roslin draws 3 Politics and 2 Leadership, please post Movement and Action when ready

I will remain in my office and play Executive Orders. Saul, you amenable to being ordered to launch 2 unmanned vipers twice?

Good decision for Civilization ship placement, Apollo. It will be easier to escort them.

President Roslin, great plan! Admiral Tigh can activate Vipers to escort Civilians. That, and dealing damage to Cylon ships, remain our primary focus right now.

It's unlikely Raiders will not have activated in all that time, but if they happen to remain where they are by the time Tigh has his turn again, Admiral may want to consider nuking the Basestar and 6 Raiders. It's too hypothetical at this point, though. Things will definitely shift by then.

I ask that when all Cylon ships activate at the same time, designate Basestar to attack first and roll. For the time being, I have the ability to make the odds 50% instead of our existing 37.5% chance for evasion.

Gaeta you are walking a fine line of giving information which is a little too specific. In the spirit of the game this is "frowned" upon. Most of your previous posts are alright but please refrain from using all the statistical data (percentages) and how you can modify them, etc..

That being said, planning ahead is definitely encouraged just please be less specific. Thanks!

Yes, Sir!

By the way, President, perhaps it would be more effective for Admiral to launch two Vipers, then use his other action to try nuking the Cylons while they're all in one place?
