Are you man or machine? Group Let's Play of Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game!

I can't think of anything else to do other than sitting tight and drawing a quorum card.

Well, you could play one, right?

With the magic of the President's Office, you can do both!

First Quorum Card sent, tell me what to do next.

Bah, I'll grab another Quorum card.

Second one sent.

Crisis Step

Lt. Gaeta, what's the meaning of this? Hop on over here and explain yourself!

Jump Computer Failure

Check of 7, Purple and Blue (Tac and Eng)

Pass: No effect,

Fail: -1 population and move the fleet token 1 space backwards

Launch Raiders

Jump Prep: no



Mr. President, what will your Crisis Draw be?

Investigative Committee has been played.

Destiny Eng - Repair 1

Apollo: Investigative Commitee - 3
Investigative Commitee - 3

Admiral Helo: Tac - Launch Scout 1
Tac - Launch Scout 2

President Baltar: Scientific Research - 3
Scientific Research - 3

Current Totals: 21 - 14 = 7, a Pass!

Edit: Blind Devotion was called, all Engineering are now strength 0.

Updated totals: 3 - 14 = -11, a fail. -1 Population, and Fleet Token goes back to Start.

I'll take an engineering card.

I'd also like to play Pol - Investigative Committee 3 for this check. Can I do this now or do I wait until my turn to contribute cards?

This is exactly the place to play it. I've updated the post with Destiny contributions.

Oh, and in the pics above I forgot to remove the -1 Fuel for the Destination Cost. I updated the text, and the current Resource Amounts are 6, 7, 7, 6.

Well, since I've got some cards to get rid of anyway.

Investigative Commitee - 3
Investigative Commitee - 3
Consolidate Power - 1
Evasive Manuevers - 1
Evasive Manuevers - 2
Executive Order - 2

Yeah, I think that'll do.

Well, looks like that part of my guess was right.

D: limit

Yeah, and I was kind of pissed I threw in a 1 card that just barely won that check. Ah well, nothing you can do to me now! And just the perfect Crisis to run out on too!

Ugh, and you waited to blow a crisis until just before your turn, of course. Oh, well. At least it seems less likely that Baltar's a skinjob.

I'm really regretting my last turn.

Yeah, this late in the game, when we know there are two Cylons in play, is definitely the time for action.

Haha, wow. Well played, Cylon. Well played.

As a note from an impartial observer, the traditional exclamation at this point is:

"Bloop bloop, motherfuckers."

It's usually "beep beep."

Well crap. Is it too late for the "I can help a little/a lot" talk so I can figure out if it's worth using my cards on this?

Super smooth.

Thought you were probably a Cylon.

Secrecy rules are still in effect, it just becomes public knowledge when you post your contribution. You can ask away.

Well, can you help a lot? We need 20 positive points in there, I can't help much and we have another Cylon still undercover. And it's not me (I know, I know, just what a Cylon say, but given my actions I'd hope it's obvious by now, inevitable accusations notwithstanding).

I'm the chief so I draw a good amount of blue cards. I can help what would, in a normal crisis, be a moderate to good amount but in this one maybe not as much. And then I might not be able to effect repairs on my turn depending on my draws. So that's why I'm trying to figure out if we have any chance of passing this.

I'm not real optimistic, unless someone else can help a ton. After you, there's me, who can't help much, and two other players, one of which is a Cylon.

And I'm still in the brig, so I can only throw in one card.

That, too.

Much as it pains me to lose another frakking population, I think trying to pass this crisis would be a waste of cards.

Guys, I'm guessing Baltar is probably the other Cylon.

You and he are the most likely, statistically. And it's definitely not both of you! He's been pretty lax in playing Quorum cards and other such useful things ...

Obviously I can't prove that I'm not a Cylon, but I was there with that Strategic Planning card earlier.

Anyway, all I can do is give you my assurances that I'm most definitely not a Cylon, which means you guys should probably throw Baltar in the brig.

You did come through with that.

And the nice thing is, his turn is after mine.

My god I love this. This is the best part of the game, right here. So what're you doing with the check that you could probably pass if you wanted to~?
