[BSG Boardgame] Game 4 - Game Over: Cylon Victory

Registered User regular
After forty years passing without a single word from the Cylons, they returned, and all but eradicated the human race. In this time of strife, they must put aside the petty differences that once separated them and focus on one thing — survival.
Humanity's only hope of a future is to find a new home; a place called Earth. The Cylons, however, are in constant and tireless pursuit. They now look, breathe and bleed exactly like humans. Cylons have infiltrated the Fleet, destroyed resources, and threaten to finish the extermination they have begun. The humans have no choice but to run, plagued by the paranoia of an indistinguishable enemy.
Are you a Cylon who will help to erase any memory of the human race? Or will your resilience and determination to survive prove to the Cylons that humanity is worth saving?

Notes and Guidelines for this play-by-post game:
Secrecy is an important part of this game! As such, the following rules must be followed at all times:
Any time you are playing or discarding an action card, it should be reported in the thread. The only secret plays are those made to skill checks. On skill checks, the rules state that submissions to the check are made beginning with the player after the active player then continuing in turn order, ending with the active player. Thus, if it is important you may request to know how many cards people coming before you in that order contributed before deciding on your own submission. Such requests should be in bold cyan to be official and may be answered either by the GM or by the players involved; any other discussions of cards submitted to a check will be considered provisional and non-binding. Final submission numbers will be given by the GM at the time of resolution.
There are a number of Skill Cards that can be played under certain conditions. For the purposes of keeping things moving at a good pace, I recommend sending me a PM guidelines or instructions in advance detailing the circumstances in which you want to use them.
Skill Cards that come before events:
Tactics 3-5: Strategic Planning is played before a die roll; adds 2 to the result.
Engineering 3-5: Scientific Research is played before cards are added on a skill check; lets engineering cards be added for any check
Politics 3-5: Investigative Committee is played before cards are added on a skill check; all cards are played face up
Playing Scientific Research or Investigative Committee be declared BEFORE the person playing them submits their own cards on a skill check. Once you make a submission it will be too late for those. On Strategic Planning, I advise you to consider circumstances when you might want to use it and PM me general guidelines. If an applicable situation comes up, I'll wait on the die roll for you to check in.
Skill Cards that come after events:
Piloting 1-2: Evasive Maneuvers is played after a viper is attacked and damaged or destroyed; the die is re-rolled, subtracting 2 from the result if piloted by a player character.
Leadership 3-5: Declare Emergency is played after a failed Skill Check; subtracts two from the total needed for a complete pass, not affecting the amount needed for a partial pass.
- You may not tell other players the exact value/type of cards that are in your hand, that you plan to put into a Skill Check, or what you had put into a Skill Check after it is resolved. You may still use vague terms to describe the cards you hold/play. (i.e. "I have a number of cards that can help in this situation.")
- If an ability or action allows you to look at the top card of any deck, you are not allowed to tell the other players what that card is or any specific information about it.
- All communication between players must be made through this thread. No private conversations allowed!
- Human players and Revealed Cylons must both adhere to these rules: Revealed Cylons may not show their hands to other players or reveal their Super Crisis card until they play it.

The Board
Above, the game board at the beginning of the game, before characters are placed. The fleet has four resources that will deplete over the course of the game: Fuel (starts at 8), Food (starts at 8), Morale (starts at 10), and Population (starts at 12). One Basestar and three Raiders are deployed at the fore of Galactica, two civilian ships at the aft, and one Viper in each of the port-bow and port-quarter areas.
General Game Flow and Victory Conditions
Human Victory: Reach Kobol. This is done by making one final jump after accumulating a Destination Score of 8 or more (Every time you jump you will earn a Destination Card with a score of 1, 2, or 3).
Cylon Victory: End humanity. This is done by destroying Galactica (damage six locations), dropping one of the fleet's stats (Fuel, Food, Morale, Population) to 0, or getting a raiding party far enough into Galactica's innards.
At the start of the game, each player is given one Loyalty Card (Exception: Gaius Baltar, who receives two) that indicates whether or not a player starts out as a Human or a Cylon player. Players take turns in sequence, encountering crises and jumping the fleet towards the destination of Kobol. When a distance of 4 or greater has been reached, the Sleeper Agent Phase activates: each player, including Revealed Cylons, is dealt one more Loyalty Card (Exception: Sharon Valerii, who receives two) that may change that player's alignment. The total number of Cylons present in the game is fixed and dependent on the number of players in the game.

Skill Checks
Most Crisis Cards and some Locations resolve with a Skill Check. Skill Checks are the main avenue for subterfuge for Cylon players.
A Skill Check will involve two to four types of Skill Cards, and a number. A Skill Check always includes 2 cards from the Destiny Deck (see below), and then each player may add as many cards as they like in turn (Exception: Players in Brig and Revealed Cylons may only contribute one card to each check). After the skill cards are revealed, you ADD all of the numbers from the correctly colored Skill Cards, and then SUBTRACT all of the numbers from the non-matching Skill Cards. If you meet or beat the Skill Check number, the check is a pass. This usually does nothing but avoid negative results, but can sometimes yield positive results. Some Skill Checks have a number value that allows for a partial pass; in these cases the negative results are lessened to some extent.
The Destiny Deck is composed of two cards from each of the five Skill Card types. Two are drawn in each Skill Check, and the deck is only replenished when it is exhausted (after five Skill Checks).

Skill Cards
Each player's hand is comprised of Skill Cards drawn from five different types: Politics, Leadership, Tactics, Piloting, and Engineering. There are 21 cards of each type, with Skill Check values from 1 to 5 in the following distribution: 8 x 1 Strength, 6 x 2 Strength, 4 x 3 Strength, 2 x 4 Strength, 1 x 5 Strength. These cards may also be used outside of Skill Checks either as an Action or in reaction to specific circumstances. I encourage you to PM me with circumstances in which you will automatically use your cards, so as to help keep the game moving as quickly as possible. If more than one character would be using the same card at the same time, only the next in action order will make the play. See the Notes and Guidelines sections for some rules on cards of these type.
Players have a maximum hand limit of 10 Skill Cards (Exception: Galen Tyrol, whose hand limit is 8). If they exceed this limit at the end of any player's turn, they must discard down to this amount. Players may still exceed this amount during any player's turn, including the start of their own turn after drawing Skill Cards.

Tactics
Strength 1-2: Launch Scout - Action: Risk 1 Raptor to roll a die. If 3 or higher, look at the top card of the Crisis or Destination Deck and place it on the top or the bottom. Otherwise, destroy 1 Raptor.

Jumping
The ultimate objective of the humans is to jump the fleet enough distance to make it to Kobol. The game starts with the Jump Prep marker on Start. Each Crisis Card drawn has a chance to advance the Jump Prep marker. When the Jump Prep marker reaches the -3 or -1 spots, any character can use the FTL Control location to initiate a jump, but will risk losing 3 or 1 population (on a roll of 6 or less). If the Jump Prep marker advances to the Auto Jump spot, the fleet automatically jumps with no risk of population loss.
Jumping clears the board of all ships. All Vipers, unmanned or piloted, return to the reserves. Any characters piloting Vipers are moved to the Hangar Deck. While jumping does clear the board of all Cylon ships, any Centurions in a Boarding Party remain on Galactica. After the jump, the Admiral draws 2 cards from the Destination Deck and chooses one, jumping the fleet a certain distance and initiating a special effect.

Turn 36: William Adama | Crisis: Rescue Mission | Adama sends out a scout to see the dangers ahead, and gets injured in a firefight with the Cylon Boarding Parties. The fleet finally is able to jump away from the Cylon pursuers.
Turn 37: Lee "Apollo" Adama | Super Crisis: Inbound Nukes | A nuclear bomb planted on Galactica threatens to take it down, even as it has escaped the Cylon fleet; the full effort of the remaining crew of Galactica miraculously uncovers and disposes of the trap safely.

Cylons are victorious on Turn 42, via depletion of the Food resource!
Before the game started, players were asked to rank their desired characters for playing the game. The results:
abotkin: <no preference>
Darian:
DevoutlyApathetic:
Maddoc:
Rend:
Discussion is now open for modification of character selection. Keep in mind that you want a team that is balanced for all situations, and that eventually two of you will join the Cylon side. Also keep in mind the restrictions on character selection for the five-player game: at least one each of [Military Leader], [Political Leader], and [Pilot] must be chosen, with no more than two of any one type. ([Support] may be freely chosen.)
Indicate your choice of character in this thread in bold cyan. Once character selection has finished, a random turn order will be created and the first round will begin.
I'm sensing a serious lack of engineering, so I'd suggest abotkin go for either Chief or for Boomer/Starbuck. And since we don't have any pilots other than me, Boomer or Starbuck might be the better option.
I've got a bit of Engineering going, more if it really comes down to it via the sexy advisor living in my head, but I can't argue with the logic in having another pilot also with Engineering on hand.
I vote for Tyrol as our last player, since his support role is absolutely invaluable. Boomer is nice with the scouting, but it can be a definite lifesaver to be able to repair the FTL and jump in the same turn.
People were signing up in the Boardgames thread long before this thread was up (and almost immediately after my interest in running a game was voiced). :P
People were jumping all over Darian when he mentioned he might possibly run another game sometime in the indeterminate future.
Vicious lies. Valkun's game didn't fill until some hours after he annouced it. Is this the behavior of a proper President?
Tom Zarek, for a better tomorrow.
I'll draw one of each of my colors in the setup phase.
Tyrol's special ability never seems to get used to any real effect. We already have to solid sources of his non-engineering skills. I'd actually push for Tigh or Helo. Helo's ability is incredibly good and we might be a little light on tactics in the end of this. I have massive
Also, yes, to expediate things slightly I'll be doing the same and drawing one of each of my colours during the setup phase.
Tyrol only gets the bonus action on his own turn, so in cases where he is given an XO, this still wouldn't happen.
Yes, Damn Dirty Cylons certainly would have the misunderstanding of our political system. Here, now, in this time of dire crisis when each and every last human must do their all in preserving not simply our Colony, or our Faith, but our very existence as a species do we not owe each of these brave heroes the Truth?
Zarek, I have a leather jacket, for President
Which is going to be:
1 - Leadership
2 - Tactics
Rend
Darian
abotkin
Maddoc
DevoutlyApathetic
If anyone wants to change their starting card distribution, you can still do so. (Rend will not draw his starting hand, since he will start the game by drawing his regular five Skill Cards.)
2 - Piloting
1 - Politics
Happily, with an XO I get to move then take an action, so if I manage to draw a maximum firepower, that means moving from 7 to 9 and then pew pew pew pew (allowing for one miss and still taking them all down).
Edit: Of course, once I actually have my cards, I won't be able to tell you if I got it or not. You'll just have to wait and see!
Once abotkin chooses his character (and perhaps his starting Skill Cards) I can send out Loyalty Cards (and starting hands) and we can start the game proper.
Oh ho!
Well, you know, aside from Launch Scout.

EDIT: All starting Loyalty Cards and Skill Cards are out. I'll be back in a few hours to resolve things and start the first Crisis Card draw.
"Yes sir, we've got three raiders and a base ship out here, I'm closing in on the raiders now."
"You handle the raiders... Leave the base stars to us."
Move to [Weapons Control]
Use 2 - Executive Order on Lee "Apollo" Adama "Take 'em out, Apollo."
My XO actions:
1. Activate viper to move to the fore location (9 o'clock).
2. Play Piloting 5 - Massive Firepower to attack the enemy raiders.
Are we rolling our own dice, or do you want to handle that on your end?
If the first three attacks all hit, use the fourth to take a run at the basestar.
I asked him this question via PM, he said leave the rolling to him.
Man, I am fucking cursed to go last in like every PbP I come near. Rawr!
Hate.
Movement Step: Move to Weapons Control

President Gaius Baltar (Maddoc) must choose:
A) -2 Food.
OR
After Crisis: Raiders Activate, Jump Preparation Increases
President, once you have decided your action, make it known in bold cyan.
I'm willing to hear out any opinion to the contrary however.
