Baltar, when you take your action - I suggest moving to the President's Office and sending Adama an Executive Order to get busy. If he hits Command for one action, we can get Apollo out of sickbay and get a viper in sector 5 for future use; then he could either send that viper to sector 4 and shoot a raider, or launch a scout, either of which is useful.

If you don't draw an XO, I guess just work the quorum?

Well, work the quorum if you think we can afford a potential civvie lost. Move to command and activate it otherwise.

Fair point. I guess I didn't think too deeply about that case; I was just hoping he'd have an XO. Also that it would be nice to get him somewhere where he can be usefully given an XO (i.e., my his office.)

That is true, a president in his office, with an XO, is quite powerful. Maybe worth risking a civvie. (which might not even die if raiders do not activate).

[theorel]

It looks like there was a lot of suggestions...I've read them a bit, but I'm kind of tired at the moment.  I'll try to get in a move tomorrow morning.

[theorel]

Okay, I think this should work well.
##Move to President's Office, discarding ENG-2: Repair
##Activate President's Office, drawing a Quorum Card and playing Authorization of Brutal Force to destroy the three raiders.
Now, we need to roll more than 2 or we lose a population.
Does anyone have a strategic planning?

[Davio]

Why didn't you get rid of the Centurion then?

I mean, the 3 Raiders are a threat, sure, but the Centurion just isn't easily disposed of.

[theorel]

Boomer killed the centurion last turn didn't she?

[theorel]

Just to answer my own question...yes, no centurion to use it on.  He's dead Jim.

[WinterSpartan]

Baltar - nobody had a Strategic Planning on Adama's turn, so it's probably safe to assume they don't now (since you don't draw purple).

[Jorbles]

I don't think anyone has Strategic Planning (or is willing to admit they do if a cylon has one).

[Grujah]

##Activate President's Office, drawing a Quorum Card and playing Authorization of Brutal Force to destroy the three raiders.

Niiiice.

No interrupts here.

[Davio]

Shouldn't be too hard to roll 3+, here, I'll set an example:

Rolled 1d8 : 6, total 6

[WinterSpartan]

Thinking ahead - Boomer can't XO (no Leadership draw), so maybe she should hit Command? We still need to get Apollo out of sickbay before his turn. What are her good alternatives? Launch herself and escort a civ ship off? Fire at the basestar? Launch a scout? I feel like Command is better than any of those.

[Grujah]

Well, Chief or Boomer need to get me out, preferably Boomer, I agree.

But, let's get over the next crisis first

[Grujah]

Did I miss some rule, why did we start with:

"Fuel: 8   Food: 7
Morale: 9   Population: 10"

Instead of 8/8/10/10 ?

[WinterSpartan]

No sympathizer. We'll be 4v2 instead of the "standard" 3v2 (or potentially 3v3 with sympathizer), so we start with fewer resources and revealed Cylons will draw 3 cards per turn instead of 2.

[Grujah]

Oh, ok. Haven't played with any number other than 5 for a very long time, apparently

In that case, that State of Emergency was less good than I imagined, but, no going back now.

[Tables]

I think everyone that could have tactics has implicitly passed, so...

ABF 2-: 1d8 : 8, total 8

[Tables]

No resource loss.

CRISIS: Keep Tabs on Visitor

Current Player Chooses
Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC = 12
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: Roll a die. If 4 or less, -2 Population.

OR

The Current Player discards 4 Skill Cards at random.

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, +1 Jump Prep

Baltar, choose an option, and also use Delusional Intuition to draw a skill card

[Grujah]

I can contribute high to the check.

[Grujah]

Though, we would, most likely, need to contribute more than 4 cards if we are to vote. So Second option might be better,

[theorel]

##Draw POL

I'm leaning towards discarding 4 random cards from my hand.

I can't see how the skill check could be better.  I mean if we use no IC's then we need to hit around 16, which would be 4 skill cards with average value 4.  The negative here is that I'm going to be discarding politics cards largely (since that's most of what I've gained), and I'm one of 2 players with any politics cards at this point.  So, this could lose us most/all of our investigative committees (depending on Zarek's hand)
Of course, if I take the skill check and use an IC, then well, that's not MUCH better.

So, I'd like to hear thoughts from especially Zarek...but I'm leaning towards the random discard.

[WinterSpartan]

I could open an investigation into a check, if required, so don't worry about losing our only source of those. I do think that, unless your hand is ridiculously good, the discard will probably be better though.

[Qvist]

I can't contribute anything to the skill check, sorry.

[Davio]

I can contrib a good deal if needed.

[theorel]

Okay, thinking it through...I could almost certainly pass this skill check on my own.  It would take the 4 best cards from my hand to do so...now, those cards are probably better used for their text, but it puts things into perspective.
The remaining 3 cards would all be preferable as losses.
I'm pretty sure that means that a random 4-card discard is the way to go.  Frustrating for me because I like having cards...
## Discard 4 cards at random
Here's hoping.

[Tables]

Baltar discards
POL-4 (Investigative Committee)
POL-4 (Investigative Committee)
POL-6 (Political Prowess)
LEA-1 (Executive Order)

Post crisis:

Raiders activate. There are no raiders, so two raiders launch from the basestar.
Jump prep increases.
