Orders Admiral?

scrivenerjones

Holy moly. Thoughts on this turn? I have a single, lonely XO that I would be happy to hand out to anyone who needs it, or I could use Command to try to get in the fight, or I could do... some other thing.

You all discuss amongst yourselves for a bit, in the meantime I will do some tactical research of my own

Megazver

Well, you could push out some more Vipers at 5 'o clock, I suppose. Or try to fight with the ones that are already there. Or XO someone else to do it for you. I guess what I'm trying to say is 'I have no idea.'

WhiteZinfandel

So far as I can tell, the only person worth XOing is me. You're probably better off doing that than using command to attack, since I have more firepower and can also draw the raiders' fire.

Kevdog

Frak.

Well, the one nice thing is that the viper screen at 5 o'clock is protecting all the civilians because of the way the raiders will move. You could activate Command to pick off a couple of raiders at 5... or XO Chief to move the 5 o'clock civilians to 3 o'clock... or XO Starbuck to get her into the fight... or scout the Crisis deck to look for jump prep and/or not-raider-activation.

Buzz Buzz

Yeah, I'd say if you can launch a scout, do that. We need jump prep and we need it now, even if it means a raider activation. Based on Starbuck not going off in a blaze of exploding enemies, I'm going to guess that together she and I can probably save the vipers that are engaging raiders. If we get the jump prep to -1, we may want to consider jumping, although we'd obviously prefer to auto-jump.

Hippie

Yeah, scout if you can, otherwise order those Vipers to take a few shots at the Raiders.

scrivenerjones

yeah, 2 TAC to scout the crisis deck seems like the least worst. I will also bump up the roll with a 3 TAC just to make sure(r).

Osvik

Admiral Tigh sends out a raptor on a scouting mission with some strategic planning 1d8+2=3 SUCCESS!

Sending crisis card

scrivenerjones

ugh, toss it

Osvik

Scouted crisis card put at the bottom of the deck

scrivenerjones

see, this is how you keep a PbP game moving folks. just gotta POST POST POST RATATAT

Hippie

If you could repeat that in the game i'm hosting... sigh

Anyway, at some point, maybe after we jump, I need to get some XOs and go quorum diving.

Waiting to see how those raiders do before i take mah turn.

Your people await, Mr President

Hippie

So people, Ideas?

Should I XO someone, or is it safe enough to flirt with some quorum members?

WhiteZinfandel

Proooooobably ought to XO the admiral so he can get out of sickbay and pewpewpew some raiders. I'm not up on what you can get with quorum cards, but as far as I know there aren't many that help in non-boarding party combat.

Hippie

Well, there is but its rare.

Screw it, LDR - 1 on Admiral Tigh

Get up you drunk, there's some toasters to kill!

Kevdog

Good to get the Admiral back on his feet, but at this point I don't know if shooting raiders is the best option. I'd suggest either scouting for more jump prep, or if a Strategic Planning is available, jump the fleet. Risking -1 pop doesn't look so bad with 7 raiders staring down 3 vipers and 3 civilians.

scrivenerjones

yeah let's bounce. move to FTL, pull the big switch marked DONT PULL, use a 3TAC to sweeten the deal

Osvik

Tigh gets up from his sick bed and makes his way to FTL Control and jumps the fleet

1d8+2 = 7 SUCCESS! The entire fleet makes the jump

Sending destinations

scrivenerjones

hope you guys packed your towels because we are headed to waikiki beach!

wait, misread the slip. oh well I guess barren planet will have to do

Osvik

Fleet jumps to Barren Planet - 2 Distance

But it seems there is suspicion of the President in the fleet

scrivenerjones

btw I am just going to go for more distance every time unless there is a real compelling reason not to (the chance to roll for a resource that we are running low on, etc.) hope thats ok with yall, if not hahaha I dont care im the admiral!! haters go out the airlock

Hippie

Leadership please

Hippie

Now that we are away from the toasters, we need to start digging through the quorum deck. And i cant do that from the brig...

Buzz Buzz

Okay then.

Contribute 4 cards...helping a little.

Ugh my hand. My hand, ugh.

Buzz Buzz

Edit on that. Helping...well, helping just a little bit more than I thought I was helping. I'm still not helping a lot though.

Megazver

!Two cards.

WhiteZinfandel

!1 card

That might be pushing the secrecy rules some, buzz buzz.

Buzz Buzz

Apologies. I'm trying to be as obscure as I can. Still, the secrecy rules are the rules that seem like they get pushed the most anyway, especially since I'm guessing that you are contributing a middle amount by not saying anything about the strength of your own contribution. I guess what I'm saying is it's difficult not to push the secrecy rules. :P

WhiteZinfandel

Oh, definitely, but dedicating three sentences on how much you're helping seems silly. Less is more.

Megazver

My two cards are seven of clubs and a king of hearts.

OR ARE THEY

Hippie

2 for me

Please no brig, please no brig....

Kevdog

No cards from me. Assuming no one's spiked a check yet, destiny is 3/4 positive and there are already 9 player-contributed cards in the pile... I think you guys have this.
