Morale is terrible. If Admiral/President Tigh doesn't see some help in the Quorum, we should expend that nuke for the cylon detector.

Discard our last Nuke

Just realised that I wasn't tracking nukes on either of the two google docs - glad Zeus and the Admiral are ...

Even I can keep track of 2 nukes with my sub-optimum alcohol soaked human brain. But I guess to make the docs complete you should add nukes for future games.

Turn 4.6


Baltar stood looking at the screen for some time.

He was on his way back to Caprica now, and looking over a lot of information. Information shocking to him, revealing much of the relationship between humans and Cylons that he had only ever guessed before.

He was feeling less and less like a traitor every day.

CRISIS CARD REVEALED!


Word had spread that Tigh had authorized the use of a nuke in his quest--now considered somewhat Quixotic--to continue Dr. Baltar's research into Cylon detection. Unbeknownst to him, a committee had been formed to independently investigate his activities.



Witch Hunt
(Difficulty: 10)
Politics, Leadership
Hvy Raiders, Jump Track

Pass: No Effect
6+: -1 morale
Fail: -1 morale. Current player chooses a character and moves him to "Sickbay."

"OK my two cylon children - I really NEED you to help me lower the fleet's morale so they turn against their mistaken leadership."

"And all the turmoil we are causing is preventing them from preparing for their next jump."

Laura Roslin with 9 cards in your hand we need your heavy heavy lifting on this one. Based on what's in hand you can decide whether to play investigative committee or not.

"Between those that have been played and what I kept you may be shit out of luck on that one."

"And I'd expect Kara to twist things around with a few Piloting and Tactics about now.

I don't want to use the rules to advantage...but as clarification...talk is allowed until first player plays cards yes? Or is there a prescribed period of waiting time to see if investigative committee is played?

As I read it it is on me to play first card...will wait a few hours to get a response if I should play on yet.

Talk is allowed any time - before, after, during - during card play as long as it follows the normal secrecy rules.

In the case of our game we need to take in account the different timezones. But I would assume now that the Nth American players have had a chance, so just you and D&T left - give him a bit more time to get home from work and then go for it I say.

Well...and I hope I am not out of order...I believe we have a skill check to make, and I believe I am the first to play in said check.

#Helo plays one (1) card.


Also...I am leaving this Sunday for 3 weeks in the US. From Wednesday I should have pretty regular access to a computer to keep up. So I am hoping there is no actual delay to the game.

Enjoy your 3 weeks on Caprica ozjesting.

Helo can only play 1 card so I don't think it matter if somebody decides to throw in an I.C. card now.

Laura and crew this is a critical skill check that the Humans have to pass because morale is so low. Next turn is Helo turn. Helo will probably throw somebody his 2nd You are a Cylon card or activate his Super Crisis card. If he activates the Super Crisis card we can ignore that card and take our lumps. But this crisis is critical.
