Dude, you go next. Go ahead and use the cards then use your reveal. Not that hard. Sheesh. Grund to the sickbay. Wheeeeeee.

I can only contribute 1 card now that I'm in the Brig, right? Yeah - not going to be much help here.

Normally I'd just throw in my piloting cards to pass this, but since Stessier is in the brig, I think I might be needed in a viper soon. I'm leaning towards letting this one fail and spending the fuel.

Question for you Turtle, if we launch more vipers can Stess use his special ability to jump into one the vipers?

Nevermind my question, the faq says Apollo can't jump into a viper if he's in the brig.

I agree with failing and spending fuel.

Apollo has no precheck cards.

I'll make the "no cards donated" part official once the Admiral agrees.

I think the "Current Player" gets to donate cards last (it it their Crisis we are resolving). So we are actually on Lars.

But we can jump around if you are definitely going to go the -1 fuel root.

I will add no card to precheck or the crisis.

It is up to the rest of you what you wish to do.

For my part, I will sacrifice FUEL over MORALE when feasible, and in my opinion this is the case.

It will maintain our hands of cards, and hell, the Destiny might even pass this for us, being so low. :lol:

Regarding Grund in the sickbay, all that would do is nerf the cards available on his next turn if nobody ExecOrds him out of there before his turn comes up. (Now if it said BRIG... :twisted: )

I'm not sure if you are ready for another game like that. I seems you may have a problem remembering the rules for this one. :wink:

Not to derail, but I started looking back over the rules of the last game I did. Almost put a sign-up thread up, but I see there is one "WW" game going on, and another starting up after that one is completed. I don't want to bump anyone's game off attention wise, so I think I shall wait.

I don't understand your reaction. You said you wanted to be sure we failed. That's why everyone withheld cards.

I was afraid the destiny deck could throw in two 5s, so I made sure we went the way you recommended.

Overkill? Maybe. But I did the same in one of the early rounds to ensure the outcome of a skill check, and you didn't complain then.

No, it seems like you're going to turn on someone who agrees with you and helps to achieve your ends!

Sorry, we were waiting on me.

So the way I see it, we have a few choices:
  • Try to get me out of the Brig
  • Try to get Scoop out of the Brig
  • Try to put Roslin in the Brig
I'm open to suggestions. I was an idiot and requested Leadership instead of politics, so I can be very little help to the cause of getting us out.

We could also, I guess, try to repair the Airlock so we can execute someone. Seems to be harder, though, and just as effective to just throw Roslin in the Brig. The problem, as we learned this weekend, is that she gets to keep choosing between 2 Crisis cards which is going to get really annoying really fast.

Grund needs to be put into the brig as soon as possible. As long as he is out, he can screw up our skill checks. We need to also get Stessier and Scoop out of the brig soon also. In my opinion the order should be be
1. Throw Grund in the brig
2. Free Scoop and stessier
3. Get some vipers out to protect the civilians.
4. Other stuff.

Scoop says he can spring you, so if you have an exec orders you could use that to get you out of the brig.
