@Tables, not @Davio.

My point is - if we fail this dieroll, we need to pass a way harder dieroll to prevent it. Getting 7 or 8 usually requires strategic planning anyway. So use it now.

Davio · « **Reply #226 on:** March 08, 2013, 05:18:44 am »

The worst part about this game is that you can't know in advance how wasteful you can be with resources.

I mean, you might play Strategic Planning and throw a perfect 5.
Then again you could play Strategic Planning and still throw 1 or 2.

But I like cutting the chances in half, going from 50% to 25% sounds pretty good.
And like Apollo said, if we let one in, we need 7 or 8 to kill AND we have to spend an action.

So throwing in SP may not only save us from a Centurion, but also free up an action in the long run.

Anybody have a clue who could be a Cylon yet?
Could be no Cylon at this point as well.

Loyalty deck had 2x "You Are a Cylon" and 13x (added 2 for Boomer and Baltar) "You Are Not a Cylon".

a. Chances of any non-Baltar player being a Cylon: 2/15 = 13%
b. Chances of Baltar being a Cylon: 1 - (13/15 * 12/14) = 28%
c. Chances of no current Cylon: 13/15 * 12/14 * 11/13 * 10/12 * 9/11 * 8/10 * 7/9 = 27%
d. Chances of at least one Cylon: 1 - c = 73%

So odds are there's at least one Cylon, but I have no clue yet.

Qvist · « **Reply #229 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:23:07 am »

So, if Baltar has a Cylon and a non-Cylon card, the Cylon card takes priority, I guess.

This is true for anyone (otherwise you couldn't become a cylon in the sleeper phase). I'm just special because I already have 2.

Indeed, Cylonness is always rounded up, so half and one third Cylons are full Cylons.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #232 on:** March 08, 2013, 07:17:22 am »

Qvist, you should probably list the value on that Strategic Planning, too (was it a 3, a 4, a 5...) - it may not matter now if you just have one, but if you had multiple in your hand you'd have to specify that way. And from a secrecy perspective, we shouldn't know that that's the only one you had.

Qvist · « **Reply #233 on:** March 08, 2013, 07:21:10 am »

I only have one Tactics card. You know that. But I didn't had in mind, that they could have different values, sorry.

Argh, what a sucky roll, I told ya we should have saved that SP!

Okay, well, no, I didn't.

##Auto-draw new cards please

Grujah · « **Reply #237 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:05:16 am »

That was.. less than optimal.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #238 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:08:32 am »

Ugh, that's quite unfortunate.

Adama, if you drew an SP or two - XO to Boomer to take some shots since she's already in the armory?

If not - XO to Apollo for space combat, or to me to draw cards?

I would caution against giving Baltar an XO, just because he's the next player.

Qvist · « **Reply #239 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:11:00 am »

Oh no, what I wasted card. But you'll never know right?

At least it was only a 3.

Qvist · « **Reply #241 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:12:03 am »

Shouldn't be the last player in the Sickbay now?

theorel · « **Reply #242 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:12:33 am »

That was only if we did the skill check.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #243 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:12:45 am »

No - we didn't fail the check; we chose not to try the check. The penalty for failing the roll is "only" a centurion instead of a centurion and me in sickbay.

PPE: Ninja'd.

Qvist · « **Reply #244 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:13:21 am »

Ah, right. I misread that.

Davio · « **Reply #245 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:13:43 am »

Okay guys, I have several options.

I could XO someone like Apollo to do something about the raiders or escort the civvie.
I could move to weapons to fire at either the base star or the heavy raider.

Does anyone know the current card split? We may be a bit light on some colors so that may be an issue.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #246 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:14:50 am »

Also, Tables: I moved to Press Room, but the last update has me in Administration still.

Tables · « **Reply #247 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:15:54 am »

Derp, my bad. Moving people I've found in the past is my achille's heel in modding BSG, expect this to be not a one off mistake

.

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #248 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:20:18 am »

Adama, I don't know that there's any reason for you to fire from weapons control yourself; if you want to shoot, why not XO chief to do it? It's just more efficient that way (two shots instead of one).

Our overall card split is:
POL 5-7
LEA 8-10
TAC 6
PIL 4
ENG 4

Which suggests that we're a bit light on both Politics and Tactics. I'm in the Press Room so that I can draw Politics on an XO, looking particularly for those amazingly useful Investigative Committees; the best way to get more Tactics is probably to Consolidate Power for them (which, hey, if I draw CP from the Press Room I can also do).

It also suggests that we have a bunch of Leadership - and we really need to take advantage of that by playing an XO whenever possible. It gives Team Human 2 actions instead of 1, and that extra efficiency really makes a difference.

theorel · « **Reply #249 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:26:25 am »

To piggyback off Zarek, we're going to be especially low on Politics given that Apollo took Leadership, and there were 4 POL cards in the brig check.
(I might be the only player with POL currently)
