[BSG] Game (Base) 25: Back to BASICs! CYLON Victory by Fuel loss!

Penumbra

Curses!

Thanks for the good game @Artadius. I enjoyed myself a whole bunch.

BobCesca

Yay!

That was lots of fun. I really wasn't sure what I was doing most of the time, and the Investigative Committees totally stuffed my chances for stuffing up skill checks. But yeah, an amazing first game.

Telnaior

That certainly seemed like a good game ^_^
Pretty mean ending, but I guess some things just happen that way.

Camacho

Good game all and thx to artadius for hosting!

With the amount of distrust going around this might even have been one of the best games i've ever played in.

mi-go hunter

Pretty awesome! That looked like a tense and exciting game.

Man that was some good times thanks artadius

Man camacho you foiled me at almost every turn (that and I didn't read the cards lol) well played with the committies

Think your right artadius with shortchanging the humans one too many times on the destination and I seriously thought roslin was the other cylon after that Cylon attack card was played (btw what was the other card?)

I think we could have really sank them if I hadn't gotten the helos other loyalty card

This is nasty for a Roslin player to draw two cylon attack cards. You can't say that you drew two cylon attack cards as that violates secrecy rules. You can only say that both cards were very bad and hope everyone believes you. In this case, I think folks were just itching for a martyr and him 'choosing' a cylon attack provided the reason.

Well, now that thats over. How could I have played a stronger pilot? I wasn't exactly confident making some of those choices (example: my OPG miscue). And in the future, I would like to avoid those pitfalls.

I think you did just fine.

Playing a pilot in the base game (well in all the versions of the game when you don't play with the Cylon Fleet Board) is kind of like mowing your yard. You just do it when it needs to be done. There's not alot of intrigue or excitement and you only do it every so often.

There were 2 things you did that made me question your loyalty:

1 - The whole OPG thing and when to use it
2 - Attacking a basestar with a maximum firepower which I think is a waste of good maximum firepower card. I don't believe we gain anything from such a move and therefore the card should be saved.

I was sitting on a lot of red cards for most of the game. I think, by the time the game ended, I had more than 1 for most of the game. I think I was ditching that card in an effort to not randomly discard a strategic planning or a declare emergency.

Red cards are really hard to get rid of.

Cayrus

Great game guys, I had a lot of fun.

Yeah, getting two Cylon attack crises was pretty messed up. Thank goodness Adama was pretty obvious right after that or else I think I would have been sitting in the brig.

Cayrus

I have never played a game of BSG in which the humans have won. We even mess with the dials at the beginning too and still nothing.

I learned alot this game and I hope to apply it to my irl games.

Camacho

In my irl games it's 50/50

artadius

I think one of the biggest failings of the humans in this game was that you didn't Launch Scout enough. You could have buried alot of those 1 destination cards as well as some of those bad crisis cards which were constantly wearing you guys out. Doing that more I think would have won you guys the game.

Doctorstrongbad

Good job everybody. Sometimes the cards are just against the humans.
