BSG

Although I have come to rely on the card counters, I do think it would be fun to try this variation. And more in character with the TV show too.

BSG

Nooooooo, you're going to destroy my system!!

But that does sound kind of cool. Although with that variant, I may lean toward IC revealing Destiny to offset the greater variety.

Ok then, let's give it a try. If that changes anyone's votes on the ICs, let me know. Anyone who hasn't put in their votes yet, I'll keep it open until tomorrow morning (my time). Then I'll send out the files and we'll start character selection.

OK, we are ready to go. Here are the details, and the voting outcomes:

1. This will be a six-player game, using the No Sympathiser rules. That means that there will be no sympathiser card in the loyalty deck; just 2 Cylon cards and a bunch of Not-A-Cylon cards. To balance things out, resources start a bit lower, and revealed Cylons (once they leave the Resurrecion Ship) draw 3 cards instead of 2.

2. By a vote of 4-1, this game will include both expansions. None of the optional modules will be included.

3. The vote on character selection was 2-2. We will therefore use the default choice. Character selection will be done in player order, per the standard rules.

4. By a vote of 2-1 (lots of abstentions), we will use the Exodus loyalty deck. That means that there is always at least one card left in the loyalty deck, and an executed human player gets a new card (so their replacement may be human or Cylon).

5. By a vote of 2-1, we will use the nukes from the Cylon Fleet module. This means that a nuke has a chance to destroy everything in the sector at which it is fired, both Cylon and human ships alike.

6. By a vote of 4-1, we will use base game Investigative Committees. They reveal all cards in a skill check, including Destiny.

7. We will use a variant for the Destiny deck. It will start with 3 cards from each deck (total of 18 cards). Every time it drops to 6 cards, I will add 2 cards from each deck and reshuffle. This should make it somewhat less predictable.

Game files are going out. Character selection starts now, in this turn order:

-t
omnis_audis
NoiseDesign
chrismg
Laga
Polter-Cow

I've received preference lists from a couple of players, which I'll use per the standard rules for their character choice when it gets to them. Everyone else is welcome to put in a list of preferences too, or wait to see what the players before them select.

-t, you're up. Which character would you like to play this time around?

BSG

Chief Tyrol

BSG

Chief Tyrol is on board. I'll be sure to cause lots of damage and give you something to do. Omnis is up next. You may select anyone except Chief Tyrol. (It's a little early to give away that there are many copies.)

BSG

In addition, everyone after the first player receives a starting draw of 3 cards from their regular draw. Everyone following, as you select your character, you may also specify the colours of your starting draw.

BSG

Sorry about the delay. I think I'll jump in blindly to the new expansion stuff, and play:

Samuel T. Anders **EXODUS**

Gods help us all.

BSG

ND is up next. You may pick anyone except the Chief or a pilot.

Piece of trivia: this is omnis' fourth game here, and so far every character he's chosen has been a pilot. (He once chose Helo, who's a small-p pilot rather than a capital-P Pilot, but aside from that it's been Pilots all the way.)

Reminder: Anders starts the game with 3 cards from his regular draw (2G 2P 1P/R). You can either post or email me your selection of starting cards.
