Administrative note: the last skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one. Creating a new Destiny Deck exhausted the Piloting deck; I've reshuffled the discards.
Edit: Boomer is as usual exercising her Recon special ability, so I have sent her the top card of the Crisis Deck.

I'm going to bury that sucker and suggest we think about jumping now at the risk of losing some population. I can help with the die roll.
I'm hesitant to kill folks. But we are doing ok population wise. I was thinking xo adama to nuke or helo to get out of sickbay and head to weapons. What thinks the group?
BSG
What's the risk of losing population if we jump now, BT?
BSG
A die roll of 6 or less means you lose 3 Population; so the chance is 75%, or 50% with an SP.

Hi guys, I've had an email from Sean. He has to drop out of the game. I'm looking for a replacement player who'd be willing to play President Zarek from here. Would anyone who's been following the game like to give it a go? Alternatively, do any of the players know someone who'd like to join in?

That seems way too big of a risk to me. A coin flip for 25% of our population? No thanks.
I vote for XOing Adama to nuke the basestar in Sector 3.

I agree. Far too big of a risk, with far too many folks.
Alas, I misspoke. Card draw didn't give me an XO. I'm thinking I might head to Weaps. Gotta look at board. Will post more soon.

A reminder: you're currently piloting a viper. Moving to another ship costs one card; if you do choose to move to Galactica (or Colonial One), please also post the card you choose to discard to move there.
(Further rules note: Apollo's weakness means that when he has to discard any cards, he does so randomly. This does not apply to the discard to move between ships, as this is regarded as voluntary and not forced.)
