[BSG: Base] Game 22; Human Fleet adrift in space; Cylons Win!

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:
  • 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.

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 MUST 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.

If an Investigative Committee is played halfway through a skill check, all players who have already contributed to the check will be allowed to change their contributions from what they initially PM'd me before they post them to the thread.


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.

Game Board and Character information
The Board
game-setup.jpg
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.

Human (and Unrevealed Cylon) Game Turn
1. Receive Skills Step: The current player draws the number and types of Skill Cards listed on his character sheet.
2. Movement Step: The current player may move to a different location. If he moves to a different ship (from Galactica to Colonial One or vice versa), he must discard one Skill Card from his hand.
3. Action Step: The current player chooses one action to perform. Options include the actions listed on his location, character sheet, and Skill Cards. If piloting in a Viper, you may activate it as an action. Unrevealed Cylons may also reveal a Cylon Loyalty Card in this step.
4. Crisis Step: The top card of the Crisis deck is drawn and then resolved.
5. Activate Cylon Ships Step: If any are in play, Cylon ships are activated according to the Crisis Card drawn.
6. Prepare for Jump Step: If the Crisis Card has the "prepare for jump" icon on it, the fleet token advances one space on the Jump Preparation track. If the token reaches the end of this track, then the fleet jumps automatically.

Revealing as a Cylon
Cylon players may reveal a Loyalty Card indicating their alignment in their Action Step. The rest of their turn is resolved as follows:

1. Resolve Loyalty Card Action: If the player is not in the Brig, then the effect on their Loyalty Card takes effect.
2. Discard: The player's hand is discarded down to 3 Skill Cards.
3. Lose Titles: If the player was Admiral or President, the title is passed to the human player that is highest in the line of succession.
4. Receive Super Crisis: The player receives one random Super Crisis card from the five available.
5. Join Cylons: The player moves to the Resurrection Ship and their turn ends.

Revealed Cylon Game Turn
Revealed Cylons ignore all abilities and effects that were part of their original character.

1. Draw Skills Step: The current player may draw two Skill Cards of any type.
2. Movement Step: The current player may move to any of the Cylon Locations.
3. Action Step: The current player activates his current location and performs the listed action.

Admiral / President Roles
At the start of the game, the Admiral and President roles are given to the players who are highest in the appropriate line of succession. Players with these roles have extra powers and responsibilities throughout the game. These roles may pass from player to player depending on actions taken.

Admiral Abilities
When the fleet jumps, you draw 2 Destination Cards and choose 1.

You control the nuke tokens. (There are 2 nuke tokens available at the start of the game.)

Action: Launch 1 nuke at a Basestar (the nuke is removed from the game).

Nukes damage a Basestar twice on a roll of 1-2, automatically destroy a Basestar on a roll of 3-6, and automatically destroy a Basestar and 3 Raiders in the same area on a roll of 7-8.

Admiral Succession
1. William Adama
2. Saul Tigh
3. Helo Agathon
4. Lee “Apollo” Adama
5. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace
6. Sharon “Boomer” Valerii
7. Galen Tyrol
8. Tom Zarek
9. Gaius Baltar
10. Laura Roslin

The title of Admiral is lost if the holder is sent to the Brig, and is given to the human player highest in succession that is not in the Brig. If all human players are in the Brig, then the title goes to the player highest in the normal succession.
President Abilities
At the start of the game, draw 1 Quorum Card. You control the hand of Quorum Cards.

Action: Draw a Quorum Card into your hand.

Quorum cards can be played as an action and specialize in increasing resources and dealing with unrevealed Cylons.

President Succession
1. Laura Roslin
2. Gaius Baltar
3. Tom Zarek
4. Lee “Apollo” Adama
5. William Adama
6. Karl “Helo” Agathon
7. Galen Tyrol
8. Sharon “Boomer” Valerii
9. Saul Tigh
10. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace

Note that if the President is in the “Brig,” he keeps the President
title and all associated abilities.

Administration - Action: Choose a character, then pass this skill check to give him the President title. [Skill 5, Politics, Leadership]

Cylon Fleet - Action: Activate all Cylon ships of one type, or launch 2 Raiders and 1 Heavy Raider from each Basestar.
Human Fleet - Action: Look at any player's hand, and steal 1 Skill Card (place it in your hand). Then roll a die, and if 5 or higher, damage Galactica.
Resurrection Ship - Action: You may discard your Super Crisis Card to draw a new one. Then, if you distance is 7 or less, give your unrevealed Loyalty Card(s) to any player.

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.

Politics
Strength 1-2: Consolidate Power - Action: Draw 2 Skill Cards of any type(s). They may come from outside your skill set.
Strength 3-5: Investigative Committee - Play before cards are added to a skill check. All Skill Cards are played face up during this skill check (excluding those from the Destiny deck).

Leadership
Strength 1-2: Executive Order - Action: Choose any other player. He may move his character and then take 1 action OR not move and take 2 actions. Limit of 1 "Executive Order" card may be used per turn.
Strength 3-5: Declare Emergency - Play after strength is totaled in a skill check to reduce its difficulty by 2. Limit of 1 "Declare Emergency" card used per skill check.

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.
Strength 3-5: Strategic Planning - Play before any die roll to add 2 to the result. Limit of 1 "Strategic Planning" card used per die roll.

Piloting
Strength 1-2: Evasive Maneuvers - Play after any Viper is attacked to reroll the die. If the Viper is piloted, subtract 2 from the new roll.
Strength 3-5: Maximum Firepower - Action: Play while piloting a Viper to attack up to 4 times.

Engineering
Strength 1-2: Repair - Action: Repair your current location, or if you are in the "Hanger Deck" location, you may repair up to 2 damaged Vipers.
Strength 3-5: Scientific Research - Play before cards are added to a skill check. All engineering cards in the skill check count as positive strength.

Combat Table
Unit Attacked: Die Roll = Result

Raider: 3-8 = Destroyed
Heavy Raider: 7-8 = Destroyed
Centurion: 7-8 = Destroyed
Basestar attacked by Viper: 8 = Damaged
Basestar attacked by Galactica: 5-8 = Damaged
Basestar attacked by Nuke: 1-2 = Damaged Twice; 3-6 = Destroyed; 7-8 = Destroyed and destroy 3 Raiders in the same area

Viper: 5-7 = Damaged; 8 = Destroyed; If a piloted viper is damaged or destroyed, move the pilot to Sickbay.
Civilian Ship: Automatically Destroyed (no die roll)
Galactica attacked by Raider: 8 = Damaged
Galactica attacked by Basestar: 4-8 = Damaged

Jumping
jump-track.png
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.

This will be a five player game of the base set and rules. !Sign Up as a player or a reservist and I'll pick players at random in a few days, or sooner if I get something crazy like fifteen signups in a day. Please, if you sign up, be able to post at least once a day but ideally several times a day. I don't think anyone wants to see this game take half a year to complete D:

The OP is mostly copy-and-pasted from Darian's last game, though I've added and/or changed three things. I'll repeat them here, combined, for posterity;

Scientific Research and Investigative Committee MUST be declared BEFORE the person playing them submits their own cards in a skill check. If an Investigative Committee is played halfway through a skill check, all players who have already contributed to the check will be allowed to change their contributions from what they initially PM'd me before they post them to the thread. Lastly, we'll be playing with the Pegasus version of Investigative Committee, which does not reveal the two cards drawn from the Destiny Deck.

This is my first hosted game, but I think I'm adequately prepared. Let's all have fun!

Original OP taken from Akinos/Darian, modified by MrBlarney, stolen back by Darian and now stolen by Rius. Thanks to all those who came before me!

    I also just noticed the Thirty-Three Crisis Card and something about shuffling it back into the top 5 of the Crisis Deck instead of the entire Crisis Deck. I think I'm going to use that; sounds much more fun 8-)

    Would regular signups be higher on the reservist list than reservist signups?

    Heres what I plan do do with reserves in my next game.

    Put everyone in the draw for positions but skip over reserve players if they appear in the top spots. That way they essentially become first reserves if they roll high on the draw.

    You shouldn't be surprised by so many sign ups so fast, everybody love the BSG.

    Alright, I suppose this has been long enough, plus Osvik's upcoming game can take another 7 people in case someone's missed this one.

    Recruiting closed, I am now randomly picking players!

    Awesome! Happy to be chosen. I've never played the game before, but I'm pretty certain I understand the rules and I've watched a couple of games of it on this forum.

    Currently trying to decide which character I'd prefer. Any veterans have any vital advice for a newbie?

    If you're not a Cylon, don't put in the wrong type of cards in a check, even if you think it is a good idea. It isn't. Unless you've all talked about it and are intentionally tanking the check, in which case, why are you putting in cards at all?

    You also probably don't want to be Laura Roslin your first game.

    Hmm, order of preference.

    1. Baltar
    2, Apollo
    3. William Adama

    I believe that should cover all possible previous pick situations.

    Keep an eye out; there should be another game starting soon from Osvik.

    Also, Rius, you might want to drop the "now Recruiting!" from your thread title.

    Did you send them PMs to let them know they were selected? Granted, they should be following the thread, but it might help.

    I prefer not to post preferences when I am 4th on the list until I get a clear picture of what the other players choose. I have my favorites of each type to play but the choice others make may influence who I want to play.

    That works fine with me; I'd probably want to wait myself if I weren't in the top 3 since any "class" could be available unless someone picks the Chief.
