I'd put attacking the boarding party lowest on the list of priorities, because it will advance only on heavy raider activation.

If Roslin gets brigged, does the Presidency pass to Baltar? Or does she retain the Presidency?

You are already on C1...easy enough for you to initiate elections. Hey, if it's good enough for Honduras, it's good enough for us!

Admiral, why is it that you are not addressing the substance of my accusations? Not even to deny them?

Well, actually, because I was posting at the same time you were, so I didn't see them until after I'd posted.

But also, because:

Boomer, Baltar -- I know you think we have more pressing matters to attend to. But that is exactly what they want. They want you to be so distracted by the external threat that you will never notice the internal threat that actually kills you.

Your rhetoric is so extreme that it's obvious you're engaging in The Big Lie rather than attempting to contribute in any positive way to a human victory. I'm choosing to identify the factual consequences of any action, so that the best course for the humans can be determined. I'm not even going to waste time denying your accusations.

Instead, I will merely point out that you selected Cylon Ambush as our crisis. There are only a couple crisis cards in the deck that bring in a basestar and associated cylon forces, and this is the worst of them.

Edited for correct verb tense.

Admiral, agreed on the boarding party. I am not overly concerned about the presidency (which Roslin would retain in the brig), either, however. I am more concerned about her and Baltar playing against us in the next 3 crisis checks while we get pummelled.

Frankly, there are just too many raiders for us to be able to do anything about it with vipers, and we can't afford to have our two pilots go to sickbay and have crippled hands for the next 5 or 6 crises. We have to pray for good card draws to save the civilian fleet.

In the meantime, I strongly recommend I brig Baltar, Boomer brig the president, and then you deal with the basestar/boarding party/jump prep as necessary. The benefit of getting those two in the brig is that they will stop drawing crisis cards that they can sabotage on us.

If Roslin gets brigged, does the Presidency pass to Baltar? Or does she retain the Presidency?

If the President is brigged, she still retains the Presidency. This differs from the Admiralcy, which passes to the highest other player in the order of succession should the Admiral be brigged.

I only draw Purple and Green, President Swiftboat.

Apollo, as far as what to do with your turn, my feeling is that while all the cylon ships LOOK scary, they only do things against us if we draw crisis cards with their particular icons on them. So we may or may not have to deal with a military attack.

But we WILL have to deal with skinjobs undermining us every turn.

I recommend you and Boomer and I deal with the bigger threat before it gets around to Roslin's turn again.
