    See, that was the one I hoped Starbuck left for me last time.

    My long-range communications array is working, but only until I get a reply, so I will send a message to Helo before I take a machete to his hand: Are you bringing back enough valuable resources to justify losing food?

    Stranded - Your character is not placed on the game board at the start of the game. While not on the game board, you may not move, be moved, or take actions. At the start of your 2nd turn, place your character on the "Hangar Deck" location.

    Are these the only conditions to Stranded? I.E., does Helo still draw his 5 cards at the start of his first turn, and can he contribute to crisis checks before he's placed on the game board?

    Yep. He's not out of the game completely, just starts off a bit weaker.

    Or a bit stronger (ie unable to be brigged/executed) if he's a cylon.

    No, you can still execute him, since it doesn't involve being moved.

    I would want a clarification on that. My understanding is that with the introduction of the Pegasus rules that execution is also not allowed... But I'm at work and don't have time to go through FAQs and Erratas.

    That is an excellent suggestion Mr. President, I will go fix up the Engine Room.

    Discard Eng 1 - Repair to move to the Engine Room. Play another Eng 1 - Repair to repair it and with the extra action play Pol 1 - Consolidate Power to draw a Pol & Lea

    Now if the Pegasus crew could not shoot themselves next time, that would be great. Keeping Galactica running is hard enough without Pegasus blowing themselves up.

    Well that's no reason to go out the airlock. Sure, you get away from it all, but only for a few seconds before you asphyxiate. I'm not sure even Cottle could fix him up after that. Maybe he could try Cloud Nine.

    Madam, there is nothing unproductive about keeping the fleet together when its people are tired, scared, and in need of protection, and... Please don't touch my official Presidential Seal. If that falls into the wrong hands, someone could make decisions as though they were the President. That would be terrible!
