I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Candyland it ain't.

This game has a number of elements similar to werewolf/mafia. The current werewolf game I'm in is BSG themed, so that's only highlighting the similarities.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Dear Gods, as if there isn't enough crisis going on already!

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

Thank you Dr Baltar, your crisis is:

Prison Labour
Skill check 10 YGP

I will call for interrupts, please indicate whether you pass or play on Investigative Committees and Scientific Research. Dr Baltar, your Delusional Intuition means a card is coming your way. Which colour would you like?

EDIT

WAIT DISREGARD. email pending to BillyTea.

Is this bad? I get the feeling this is bad. What do we have to do to jump out of this mess? And what cost would that be to the fleet?

Being attacked by a basestar and 13 raiders is not so much of the good. In answer to your question, I've emailed players with an explanation of the jump protocols. The short answer: once you find another Jump Icon on a Crisis Card, you will be able to Jump manually if someone takes an action to do so; but at the risk of losing some population (apparently their FTLs weren't ready in time).

move out and draw fire

BSG

We're pretty much going to be losing population anyway; I was really hoping for a little more time before raiders activated.

No interrupts from me.

I am playing the Blue 5 interrupt, which makes all blue cards count positive in this skill check. This reduces what the cylon can toss in to hamper us, and help with the destiny deck randomness. I realize it's a valuable card, but I'm tired of failing checks.
