Rather interesting. I like this open card format. Can we do this every round?

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

Sure, if someone plays an IC every round.

Meanwhile, a noble spirit embriggens the smallest man. Dr Baltar, the check passes and it is the will of -- well, the Adamas -- that you be brigged. You have been moved there immediately.

Apollo's Crisis Card is:
Sleep Deprivation
Admiral's Choice

Admiral, when you are ready please post your choice.

move out and draw fire

Back in my day, we weren't allowed to sleep except while marching up hill, in the snow. We're going to keep those pilots in their birds!

-1 Morale.

BSG

Very well. The Admiral reacts to the pilots' sleep deprivation by installing a crying baby in every Viper. Morale takes a hit, but they stay flying.

Cylon: Basestar. I have a new die for rolling when attacking you. It's black, white speckles. Red numbering. It is an appropriate instrument of your destruction.

Die roll: 3. Miss. I've said it before and I'll say it again, democracy does not work.

Jump Prep: Yes. You have now reached Blue (-3). You may jump early at the risk of 3 Population. Or, y'know, you and the Cylon fleet can just hang out for a while, kick back to some Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Boomer, your turn is about to begin. I'll send you your card draw, then when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

I'm stil playing. I just can't think of anything clever to say about being sent to the brig. I shake my tiny insane fists at the Adamas.

BSG

With this hotbed of toasters, do we want to think about jumping early? Is that something I can do? I'm fully prepared to go out and fight, but, not sure what WE are wanting to do about all them toasters around us. It will be a hit to population. I'm putting it out there, what do we think?

I feel disenfranchized but I think I'm in favor of risking some civilians to get the frak out of here.

To answer the rules question, yes, this is something you can do. It involves moving to FTL Control and activating that location.

If you jump early, it's a die roll to determine whether you lose population. A Strategic Planning interrupt may be played to improve the odds, if anyone wishes to do so.

BSG

Boy, if I had one of those, I'd be happy to play it, what with not being a cylon and all, but I spent all my cards trying to help us pass every check so far.
