Alight then, we are going to:
Code: 
Icy Moon

Distance 1

Lose 1 Fuel. The Admiral may risk 1 raptor to roll a die. On a 3+, gain 1 Food. Otherwise, destroy 1 raptor.

We are not going to risk the raptor.

For my turn, I will reveal as Cylon.

Give me a minute to figure out what cards to toss.

Alright got it.

Code: 
You Are a Cylon
CAN REDUCE MORALE BY 1

Action: Reveal this card. If you are not in the "Brig,"
you may reduce morale by 1.

We are going to reduce Morale, so.

## Morale - 1

Discarding down to 3 cards.

Treachery-1 (By Your Command)

Leadership-3 (Declare Emergency)
Leadership-3 (Declare Emergency)
Tactics-4 (Strategic Planning)
Tactics-1 (Guts and Initiative)
Piloting-1 (Full Throttle)

Now does one of my Cylon friends want to do something as a 'Human' Just discarded a Treachery card? I think I still count as human until I get to the ress ship correct? Even if they can't I have to discard at one of them as anyone that been keeping track of the cards in my hand would realize :)

Chief can draw treachery, as usual.

I'm pretty sure you meant Adama here, as you used your ability on him.

Considering what I am going to do on my turn, my action here is rather clear.

Activate my once per game power: The Humans take the -1 Food option.

Good call! I forgot about that one.

Technically I should have to wait until he makes a choice on that, and only do so if he does not take it himself, but I want to speed this up a bit. That and I think we know what the president would have taken.

In a situation like this? No, waiting is completely unnecessary. Preloads are made for this kind of thing.
BTW, you're throwing away some pretty high strength stuff here. I hope your TRE hand more than makes up for it, as I wouldn't have dumped a strength 4 card even if it's TAC ;-)

BTW, I see you didn't draw an XO this turn. Good thing we didn't gamble on that then, isn't it?

LS, you got your wish: You are now Overlord Adama :p

Now that both Cylons have evacuated the premises - Why on earth did neither LS nor Kriszo use his once per game ability on either the "Brig Adama" check or the attempt to free him? Using both of those abilities on the check to brig Adama could have made an intense amount of difference.

One of the reasons why I revealed was that I kept expecting the humans to wise up to the fact that they probably could execute either of us at any time, if only they got their act together.

Ah well :p

edit: Oh, and if you folks were waiting for those awesome super crisis skill checks to use them - well, guess what? Once per game abilities do not work on super crisis cards, apparently.
 
Engineering or leadership on your draw reis?

Lea - should have preloaded, sorry.

Maybe I should have got Repair, hoping for turning Cylon on sleeper :)
Click to expand...
I thought because we play with a Clyon leader, there is no sympathizer
 
jacob-Lundgren said:
There isn't one as you believe.
Click to expand...
So the sleeper phase is irrelevant now.

Minor nitpick, but in the update Helo still shows as admiral :D

Fellow humans, what do we do now? We should put together an action plan before our first move.
 
So, no sleeping Cylon?

Okay, what do you reckon about an XO on Adama so he can try to escape the brig? Can contribute one medium, btw.

Or maybe I'll just break myself out, to get on a Viper and shoot some toaster-stars, since the Pradmiral can do more stuff in the Brig than me, and I got a full hand.

I guess that won't be enough, as the trash cans probably have strong cards

EL discarded down to 3, though, as did Randakar, so it leaves only Jopi, whose agenda is unknown.

So, Chief, I take it you exhausted yourself in the last check. And with one IC who probably came from the DD... (although Chief does draw POL). So back to plan D(espair), I guess...

Brb for dinner, will decide afterwards.

No.

4. Receive Super Crisis: The player receives one random
Super Crisis Card. This card remains in his hand and may
be played by activating the “Caprica” Cylon location. Super
Crisis Cards are treated like normal Crisis Cards, but are
immune to all character abilities that affect Crisis Cards.

Note the last sentence :)

The secrecy rules are still in effect. There is no such thing as 'medium' strength in this game, only 'big' and 'small' or 'strong' and 'weak'.

:rolleyes:
 
reis91 said:
Ok, apologies, and btw, what would that scale be? 1-2 weak, 4-5 strong, and 3 can be both weak or strong?
Click to expand...

I count 3 as "strong". Mostly because cards are separated into 1-2 and 3-5 value type cards. (All colors excepting the TRE deck, that is..)

For instance, all executive orders are either value 1 or value 2. All declare emergency cards value 3-5.
Every deck has 4 different types, 2 weak, 2 strong. Originally it was just 2 types even, but Pegasus added another weak and another strong type card to each deck.
 
Ok, what do you think I should do? I move somewhere, repair the vipers, than activate the location. Question is, where? Should I move to Colonial one to draw 2 politics cards for unbrigging purposes? There are no dradis contacts, so there is no real need to stay on Pegasus.

EDIT: forgot that I have to be in the hangar to repair Vipers.
Looking at all the options, I think moving to the press room for 2 politics card is the best option, much better than repairing 2 vipers when we still have 6 operational. Repair can wait, unbrigging is more urgent.
