Gaming 1: You are likely to be eaten by a grue
A thread for the discussion of games: board, LARP, MMORPG, video, tabletop RPG, game theory etc. etc. and all attendant news, developments and ancillary subjects thereof, as well as coordinating/scheduling games either online or IRL. All are welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort.
PLEASE TO WHITEFONT SPOILERS for video games, RPG modules or anything for which foreknowledge of events might lessen one's enjoyment of whatever gaming experience.
BSG
CV-4 activates an RSV three times; one RSV moves from Sector 5 to Sector 3, and may fire once.
Die roll: 8. Hit!
Apollo now uses his special ability to activate the Quorum Chamber. Quorum card sent. Apollo may now draw another one, or play one from his hand. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
Apollo decides that Louis Hoshi (Call sign: "Who?") has gone unremembered for too long! (No, seriously, who?) He plays
Eulogy.
Everyone gathers to hear nice words about someone, perhaps he was the leader of the Lib Dems. Morale increases by 1!
So all is well within the fleet, except for Helo shifting that RSV by himself. He's not union! There could be trouble. Apollo's crisis card is:
Labour Dispute
President's Choice
President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Baltron)
Option 1!!!
BSG (Apollo)
I think I have to go with
OPTION 2
BSG
Option 2, recommended by none out of ten Cylons. Fuel falls by 1, and the jump track is set back one space!
Next, the basestars attack. With Pegasus destroyed, all hits will land on Galactica. Brace yourselves!
Basestar 1: 3. Miss.
Basestar 2: 1. Miss.
Lucky break for the humans there. That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltron starts his turn on the Resurrection Ship, so he draws just one card. Guess what he chose? If you guessed Treachery, you've been paying attention. Baltron, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Wait, one last item. Apollo finishes his turn on 14 cards, and must discard four. Check this out everyone, he put in COs! Quite possibly the first player to put in discard COs for the entire game. Apollo discards:
Iron Will 0
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
BSG

BSG (Baltron)
I
move to Cylon Fleet
and RELEASE THE HOUNDS. Er,
activate Raiders, with Sector 3 first.
Make way for Scar!
BSG
The raiders in Sector 3 start beating up on the lone RSV. Behold their skills!
Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 5. Hit!
Pilots of Galactica (Helo and Apollo), will either of you play an EM on this result, or allow the viper to meet its gruesome fate? You can also put in COs for any subsequent shots.
BSG (Apollo)
I will play an
EM-1 on this.
I think it's an EM-1 in my hand, whatever the lowest value is.
