Anything for a weird life.
less likely for Team Human to win in a walk
Remind me: of the 9 games y'all have played so far, how many have the humans won AT ALL?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It will be the lesser-known "rocks fall, everyone dies" scenario.
I'll put up some options, and preferential voting will then commence. In the interests of keeping things manageable, there'll be two votes.
1. We will have one of (rank in order of preference):
Cylon Leader
New Caprica
Cylon Fleet
2. Should we include Conflicted Loyalties? Y/N

The humans have won three games so far to the Cylons' six.

I tried to inaugurate my BSG game with some newbies, but it took forever for the group to gather, so by the time I got done explaining the rules, it was too late to play the whole game. We only made it through the first jump cycle...
...during which we got THREE CYLON ATTACK CARDS. Two in a row, then a skill check, then another one. I had already run out of basestars, and we had all the Vipers out soon, and I had placed nearly all the Raiders, Heavies, and civvies on the board by the end. Starbuck managed to avoid being hit many times, and Boomer held her own, although, luckily, she never had to withstand a Raider activation when there were seven Raiders in her sector.
Starbuck kept refusing to use her Secret Destiny over and over since it was so early, and we kept getting hammered by the basestar attacks until Baltar thankfully disabled the weapons on one. Baltar and Chief were both able to help with repairs, too, so we managed to scrape by fairly well and jumped early without losing any population thanks to Boomer's SP.
We quit because it was late only to discover that Starbuck had been a Cylon.
