Let's start talking about the next game (which, incidentally, will be game 11).
I'm in. I'd love to give New Caprica another shot. I can start pretty much immediately. the only upcoming schedule conflict that I have will be travel from December 16th to the 30th, but I should have internet for most of that time.
I'm in and definitely want to give New Caprica another shot. I can also start pretty much whenever.
Excellent, that's a good start. But we'll probably want some human players too. Who else is in?
Wait, I'm not done breaking down the last game yet! So I played witnout a spreadsheet this time just to see how it worked. It was bad. I made some errors in calculation, and I probably missed stuff like pc holding onto ics. I was cranky at never drawing them myself, but I thought it was just laga getting a bunch!
I held onto the damn pp the whole game and never got to use it, although I alluded to it throughout. I was suspicious of Boomer before she revealed. Remember when I offered her a free get out of jail card when the crisis threatened it? I intended to act unilaterally and execute her instead. But she didn't get jailed, and it wasn't long after she revealed. So then I held onto it thinking I might need a get out of jail free card later. So Ellen lying low was a good call, 'cause I had an itchy trigger finger the rest of the game.
Anyway, yes, I'd like to explore NC further, but I also think there should be new (or old) blood, so bt make sure you advertise in the righthand sidebar. I can start right away. I have travel for the entire holiday season but in general that will give me more online time not less.

That would indeed have got her out of the Brig, it's true.
Hey, I didn't say out of the Brig to where, precisely.

I knew you had it! Which was annoying because I really wanted it in case you guys threw my in the brig. Or if I decided to just soft-reveal on New Caprica and start throwing people in Detention or executing them for fun.
You know, that also explains the times you played strangely low in some checks where Yellow was positive. You didn't want to play your PP.
Also, I managed to pull State of Emergency TWICE, which was fun. The second time I was happy to use it just to decrease food.

Whew!
Yeah, I was hoarding that one and periodically the preventative policies, which I did end up playing. So yeah, I was in the weird position of holding positive cards back.
I couldn't get a lock on who the second Cylon was and alas it did end up being our undoing.
I don't think I've played a game where there was such a richness of cards the entire time. It didn't feel like we were ever really starved, and there were quite a few times when I had a lot of very high value cards in hand.
