Pop was scarce last game from what I saw.

EDIT: Shame about the raptor :(
 
Pop was scarce last game from what I saw.

Quite. Pop determines how fast we can get out of New Caprica once the fleet gets back. But if I choose that option we lose fuel and food for it.
Morale on the other hand can get quite critical on NC, too.

Very well, admiral. You can have your rescue mission.
*signs the order*


## Choose -1 fuel -1 food +1 pop

Of the four resource dials fuel and food are probably the least critical. Food we can get back with food rationing, fuel we can conserve if the Admiral chooses the right destinations.

edit: Speaking of food rationing, I'd like an XO soonish please ;-)

edit2: Found us a jump prep track picture:

##I move to the engine room and use 1-repair to repair it, then I play 1-XO on Randakar

Fill up on those Quorum cards!
 
Great, thanks :)

## Activate president office to draw a quorum card

I'm going to activate it twice but I'll wait to see what card I get the first time around.

edit:
## Preload play Inspirational Speech if I have one after the draw.
## Preload play Food Rationing if I have one after the draw and the first preload doesn't fire.

(If this goes off we may want somebody to preload a strategic planning for it ..)

## Preload activate the president office again for my second action (That should happen regardless of other preloads)

Ok, since Jacob send me my card I shall

## Play Inspirational Speech

Code:
[u]INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH[/u]
[b]Action[/b]: Roll a die. If 6 or higher, gain 1 morale and remove this card from the game. 
Otherwise, no effect and discard this card.

## Activate Presidents office again to draw a second card
## Play RELEASE CYLON MUGSHOTS


Code:
[u]RELEASE CYLON MUGSHOTS[/u]
[b]Action[/b]: Look at 1 random Loyalty Card belonging to any other player, then roll a die. 
If 3 or less, lose 1 morale. Then discard this card.

edit:
Any suggestions as to who might be a good person to scan with this? Apart from the Admiral, I mean.
(I want to baltar scan him when the sleeper phase comes, so he might not be the best target)

edit2:
## No strategic planning from me for either quorum card

Sp planning for the first roll from me. None for the second.

I say just hit random.org to pick someone. We have not had enough chances to play cards to suspect anyone just yet. If I had to pick a certain player, I would pick, the Admiral right now, not because I suspect him of anything anyway, after all we are down 2 fuel without traveling distance, and we need to be certain that he will be playing low fuel cost cards. More of a safe pick then anything, but you will likely want to fall onto Random.org if you don't want to hit him now.
 
Since first roll should be done in theory before the 2nd anyways.

In an attempt to rally the sagging morale of the fleet, President Baltar decided the timing was right for an inspirational speech. Morale needed to be saved and gosh darn it, he was the man to do it! He put on his best suit, spent time preparing just the right words to say and gave the speech of his life! The fleet was truly moved and morale soared. Some say the speech was so sincere it moved them to tears and thus helped rally the fleet. Still others say it was the foresight to hand out some of the fleets liquor reserve that did the trick. ROLL OF 8. 8+2=10 AND SPEECH ROLL HIGHLY PASSED AND MORALE GAINS 1.


Tactics-3 (Strategic Planning) burned for the check, and I do mean burned. :p
 
Myeah. You're right, I don't want to waste it on Adama right now - the sleeper phase is by far the best time to do it and then this scan would have been wasted.
Presuming that he's not a cylon, that is.

I'll go for the next person in line who can do real damage - our only true pilot.

## Look at Saintis' loyalty using the Release Cylon Mugshots card
 
If no one objects to me moving on without waiting for the rest to say aye/nay on playing SP on the 2nd quorum card I will stop waiting before I go to bed and move on to the crisis.
 
I can play strategic planning if really necessary.

Go ahead then. It does change it to only failing on a natural one if you do, and we do want to keep an eye on our morale.
 
Ok then,
##SP for second roll
 
Roll of 6. 6+2=8 no morale lost. Randakar getting the loyalty card info shortly. SP~5 played on the check by saintis.

I can play 4 weak cards.
 
Good news: Saintis is (still) a human. :)


As for the check:
If my DD accounting is right it lost some TAC and PIL already. I doubt it will help us. And I still have no idea what Jopi will do, and he certainly still has some cards in hand that he can use to sabotage.
So if we go for this check we want to add at least 10 points to the difficulty if we want to have a decent chance to pass it. Meaning we'd have to shoot for getting up to difficulty 20 with the humans.

Kriszo doesn't draw the required colours, and I'm not really able to contribute much here either.

So it's up to LS and you two. In theory if all your cards are value 2 you might get to 18 with those two sets, but then we'd still want LS to add something.
And if it's all value 1 cards we'd get up to about 9 .. meaning LS would have to add another 11.

The question is, do we want to use that many cards to try to pass this?

Of course if anyone plays reckless cards to disable the DD or give us all more cards or even make TRE or ENG count positive we should have a slightly better shot here.

No, I don't think we should use that many cards, throwing a total of 9+ cards in this to just get no effect does not seem that good when those cards could be needed later for something more vital. Our population is 1 higher then normal already so failing this will not really change that much. But if you all want to go for it, I will empty my hand of all the cards I can play on this, it just that I think it would hurt us more to have two people throw that many cards in for no real gain, when those cards do have things we can do with them later, in my case should I hop into a viper, and I bet that Saintis is the same.

Now if someone has some reckless to add to this, then I think it would be better to play into this.
 
##0 Cards

I don't even draw these colours. I could make Engineering count positive, but it wouldn't worth it I think.
