Boomer's COs are as follows:
Move: none
Action: Activate Occupation Authority
Activating the Occupation Authority does two things. First, occupation forces are activated. As there are no occupation forces on the board, one is placed on Occupation Authority. Next, an OF is placed on Occupation Authority, for a total of two.
That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)
Well, well, well. We've never done New Caprica before, so your guess is as good as mine as to what to do.
1. Execute Boomer for funsies. (I mainly suggest this because I have a lot of cards, so I might as well use them somehow, although if I have to discard, it won't be the worst thing.)
2. Try to destroy one of those Occupation Forces, if someone can help me plan.
3. Use Breeder's Canyon to sacrifice Food to bring Galactica back faster.
4. Prepare a civvie to evacuate.

If I get executed, do I get the last Loyalty card?
BSG (Lady MacTigh)
I think you just lose all your cards and get sent to Medical Center. You will stay the metal monstrosity that you are.
Although it would be funny if we could turn you human.
BSG
Yeah, I think execution is kinda pointless once a Cylon has revealed.
I would say either work on the OA or start prepping civvies. No sense in bringing Galactica back before we're ready.
BSG (Ellen)
I'm a little antsy about having two Occupation Forces already (no sense in preparing civvies if they're just going to DESTROY them), so I will
move to Occupation Authority
and
punch an Occupation Force in the face.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
If I get executed, do I get the last Loyalty card?
No, that's just for returning humans. I also shuffle an additional card into the deck before dealing out the new loyalty card, so there's a 50% chance they get the remaining card, and a 50% chance they get a YANAC card.
Meanwhile, Ellen is trying to punch a Centurion in the face. SPs, I call for them. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Tory)
Pass on interrupts.
I'm sorry because I think we covered this before and I just didn't like the answer but as I'm not absolutely positive... is there any way to increase population?
Also I haven't played this version before so I don't have much clue what the best strategy is. I'd love to hear what you guys think.
BSG
No interrupts.
I don't know of any way to increase population. I mean, other than the normal way, which appears not to be a game mechanism.
