I'm loath to point this out - because if he's a Cylon, it gives him back-to-back actions - but if he wants, Apollo could use his AVP ability to commandeer the viper in Sector 6 and take a bonus action (technically before the basestars fire, but he can't really do anything against them anyway. Unless he has an XO, in which case he could XO Tigh to nuke one of them.)
BSG
Note to self: when your first instinct is to launch vipers in case of Cylon attack, launch the frakking vipers.
BSG
And here I was thinking (hoping) the Toasters had forgotten about us.
"Look alive, people! Get those vipers ready for launch! Salty wants them airborne yesterday! Damage control teams, get your butts moving, the chromeheads aren't going to miss us forever."
BSG
Darn. I got used to having nothing on the board.
BSG
I use my ability to jump into the RSV. Once there I scout the crisis deck (using my P1).
well at least the base star's weapons controllers are poor marksmen.
BSG
I pass on interrupts
for the scouting roll.
Boomer:
Pass
Zarek:
Helo:
Tigh:
Chief:
Apollo:
BSG
I always forget about interrupts.
Do we have to do them in order?
BSG
Do we have to do them in order?
For forum games it's much quicker not to bother about order. I never worried about it in games I ran, and I think that's omnis' policy too.
Technically they are supposed to be in order, and if it actually mattered (e.g. two players didn't want to make their call until they saw what the other one did), then that's how you'd resolve it. Also, if more than one player wants to play the same interrupt, the current player (still the Chief, technically) would get to choose which one gets played.
BSG
Do we have to do them in order?
As mentioned before. No! As bt says, we need to try and keep the game flowing as much as possible, waiting for order on this would slow it down more than is needed. And since it's difficult to get any CO's out of folks, no, we don't need to do interrupts in order.
That said, here is where we stand with CO's and announced:
Apollo scouting crisis deck interupts
Boomer:
Pass
Zarek:
Helo:
Tigh:
Chief:
Pass
Apollo:
Pass
For those who haven't sent in anything, please announce in thread or send me CO's. Again, since we don't have to do interrupts in order, you can proclaim in thread.
I always forget about interrupts.
(yes. But you aren't the GM... :: sigh :: Sorry about that folks. I did mention it was my first time GM'ing, right?)
