Or, you know, when you finally come to visit SF.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I'd love to join in a future game, but since I've never seen the board or cards or anything else, I'd probably either out myself as a Cylon or get us all killed within the first three turns.

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

I keep my character sheet with a pen and paper, it gets very messy very quickly.
unfortunately I did not get the card I was hoping for so for my turn I will move to the President's Office and draw a Quorum Card.

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

Reminder: when you activate the President's Office, after you draw a Quorum Card, you have the option either to draw a second card or play a Quorum card.

thanks, I'm not sure GM will be able to send me the first quorum card until after I disconnect the computer but I'm staying logged in as long as possible.

I recommend COs to draw a second card, more or less regardless of what the first card is. There isn't much that needs the Quorum's attention this instant.
Oh, to Admiral Tigh: if the board situation allows for it on your turn, I offer myself to receive an XO and work the Press Room. The logic is the same as when asking the President to do so - to increase our skill card resources when we're so low on them, and especially to increase our supply of Politics and Investigative Committees.
(You can move to whichever of Command, Weapons and Comms you think most useful, and perhaps Chief Tyrol can then XO you to give two activations.)

Speaking of using the board I want to play another live version of the game once I'm back in Pasadena.Count me in! Woot!
We offer excellent newbie support...And bt's support for newbie GM has been most excellent, generous, and helpful!
or get us all killed within the first three turns.Wow, that would take some doing. I'd be interested in seeing how that would work. (as long as I'm a Cylon, of course!)

I can get there in three turns, with the right cards.
Turn 1: Ambush. Basestar activates, damages Galactica.
Turn 2: Heavy Assault. Basestars attack Galactica - 3 damage total.
Turn 3: Fulfiller of Prophecy. Basestars activate - up to 5 damage. The current player choose the OR option, which sees this Crisis Card discarded after the activation, and a new one drawn.
Turn 3a: Reqeusted Resignation. Basesetars activate again, bringing Galactica up to 6 damage - Galactica destroyed!
