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.

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.

Once everyone has chosen their characters and initial skill draw i'll send out your hands, loyalty and title cards. Then we can get this thing on.
This gets the Valkun stamp of approval. I'll be keeping an eye on this in case anyone has questions regarding the characters. They were rushed into play without much review. There was a quick look over by El Skid before we started that plugged up some things. Just noticed that Ellen and the starting rules have a little conflict. I'd say being able to draw any 3 skill cards to start with would be fine.
The Valkun stamp of approval is a V for Vendetta?!
Anyway, I know it's not my turn, but I'll take Diana Seelix or Tory Foster (<3), depending on which class is left over.
V for Victory, son. I put that there after a stunning win of Nomic, the game of rules.
I'll take you in the next game I host if you can convince Thetheroo to play as well. I think that should make for an interesting game.
Baltar
Next up is pablo_price, you can choose any character from any class. Then scrivenerjones feel free to pick as well.
Once you two have picked and everyone has chosen their initial card draws we'll kick it off.
I'll start with 2 Politics and 1 Leadership.

edit~ Actually, Question - when does the +1 Jump Prep from the bottom of the card resolve? Since we are at START right now, if we take option2 will we remain at START then get the +1, or get the +1 then add the -1 option2 penalty? Keeping the pop is still probably worth the effort, but we might not end up losing the prep depending on resolution order.
edit2 ~ I have a going away party to attend this evening, then a poker game. I might be able to jump on once more between said events and then again at like 2 or 3 AM.
they are resolved in order. so we would lose one jump prep (which we can't) and then gain one, for a net gain of +1.
nonetheless, I am all for throwing down on the check
Maybe worth an investigative committee Ellen or Baltar... what do you think?
A 3+ might be better served in the pot with an 11 target.... I dunno. Odds are with us for Destiny and Cally has a grip of 3 blue... up to you if you've got it, Ellen.
edit: what is the order we should do this stuff for a check. Do we have to wait for people to say they are doing pre-check stuff (i.e. investigative) or can we just start throwing in? Do we post in the thread and then PM the card we are throwing in?
The next player in line is first to contribute (Ellen), ending with the current player (Helo)
No contributions are set in stone until it is your turn to contribute. Then any orders will be carried out.
And cards like Investigative, etc can only be played up until the first person in line to contribute has done so. After that its too late.
Ill just catch some rays on Caprica while I wait 8-)
I have queue'd up my activities with Hippie.
I'm not using an Investigative Committee, because I'm not worried about sabotage. Why am I not worried?
Dropping 3 cards on this one. Check my initial draw. (I'm going to skip the PM on this one, Hippie, since I'm applying my whole hand to it.)
