I was sweating that 6 Distance, believe you me!

Whohoo!
I am sad I didn't achieve my self-imposed goals of a) winning before Sleeper phase and, when that failed b) blowing up All The Ships.
But hey, go Tobias!

Ha, wow, nice job, Leoben.
You should have gone after Tobias instead of going for the jump.
We would have taken him out, too, with that roll + SP.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

With Bomb on Colonial One, blowing up All The Ships was a real possibility. In the end, both Colonial One and Galactica were saved largely by the fact that this human crew was unusually strong in Engineering. In fact, four of the six players drew Engineering in their standard draw.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I said Tobias was an issue. But i was ordered to jump. And I knew there was something crafty about Loeben telling me to jump too. Eh. Oh well. I'm amazed we lasted that long! We've been on the verge of death since well before sleeper!
All in all, fun times.
Thank you BT for being the awesome GM that you are! And to my fellow players for a great game.

I was almost tempted to go ahead with Killing All Humans before Sleeper just because that would have been pretty awesome, even though it would have meant I lost. But it also meant the game would have been over, and this was a really fun one, so that clinched soldiering on for me.

And on at least one occasion (when you fixed FTL Control for them), soldering on.

Yeah, I really think your turnaround was a saving grace for the human side there.
You're right, though, this was a super fun game. Lots of exciting bits.

I said Tobias was an issue.
We all knew Tobias was an issue. He was always going to be an issue. All those ships in space, however, was an issue we were guaranteed to take care of. We didn't know how the roll would go. Even if we had lost 3 Pop, we still would have been away from the Cylon Fleet. If we had missed Tobias, well, we would still have lost. It's obvious in retrospect to say we made the wrong call, but at the time, it felt like the right one.
I'm amazed we lasted that long! We've been on the verge of death since well before sleeper!
Seriously. I can't believe we made it to 6 Distance at the rate we were getting jump icons and holes blown in the ship.
Yeah, I really think your turnaround was a saving grace for the human side there.
This was a much more interesting Cylon Leader game than the one where Six was basically helpful the entire time. It was fun not really knowing which way Leoben would swing.

OR SO YOU THOUGHT!
I will note that in that game, I succeeded in all my negative goals (reduction of all your resources) but failed in my positive goal (human victory).
But yeah, I like the confusing potential loyalties.
