(Please check with your data, to make sure there is nothing out of whack. If any discrepancy, please contact me immediately.)
Note: Fuel is now at 2, Food at 3, and Morale at 4. Population is still in the blue at 8. The skies are clear, but there are still two centurions at the start of the Boarding Party Track, two damaged vipers, and damage to El Hippo's Quarters.
Starbuck has requested 1 yellow and 1 red card and they are on the way.
BSG
Okay, Starbuck. The humans have to advance the jump track 3 times before we can advance the Centurions 4 times (provided they don't shoot them).
I'm not sure if we're better off ordering the Cylons forward or trying for Crisises and see if we can pick off Food or Morale.
Either way I think it's going to be a race to the finish and we Cylons have to hope the humans get at least 2 crisis cards without a jump icon if we try to go the Centurion route.
BSG
I will
move
to Caprica and draw 2 crisis cards.
Dear God, may I please have a crisis with heavy raider activation and no jump track advance? kthxbye.
BSG
Quick note: when Cylons use Caprica to draw Crises, we ignore both the Cylon activations and the jump icons. On the one hand, a Caprica Crisis won't advance the jump track, whether or not it has a jump icon. On the other, it won't move the Centurions either.
BSG
Thanks for the clarification. I stillk think we have a better shot at you with crises than centurions. My orders stand.
BSG
My orders stand.
We stand ready to meet your challenge. Defiant, even! Maybe a little curious, I mean, who hasn't wondered? Peckish, certainly. Monkeys!
...Right, I think that covers everything. Do your worst! Oh, wait, that was your Super Crisis. Do your second worst!
BSG
Once she makes her choice, I tell you which one was discarded right? Or is it buried?
BSG
Once she makes her choice, I tell you which one was discarded right? Or is it buried?
In the base game it is discarded, and hence revealed. That changes in Pegasus, where the rejected Crisis is buried. (I suspect because Cylon leaders can activate Caprica and have a hidden agenda, including hidden loyalties. Revealing the Crisis they rejected gives too much away.)
BSG
Ironically, the Cylon has given you:
Build Cylon Detector.
Details in email.
BSG
I discard the nuke.
I like my cards.
...Oh! And the Morale too, of course. Yes. Morale, much more important than... than...
t sob
My lovely nuke! Lost to Dr Baltar's diabolical contraption! How good can it be, anyway? It didn't detect Dr Baltar, and he was around it more than anyone!
