[BSE - Exodus] Conga Through... Holy #$@# an Update!

[Dexanth]

Well, yes, trust nopony. I mean, I trust you, and I trust me, which means -I- know 2 out of the remaining 3 are ponylons, you only know to trust you, and they know that either 1 of them is a robot + me, or that you & me are both ponylons.

My point is, the only real way an Admiral can hugely damage us is via a distance 1 jump. Furthermore, Applejack at least has a much harder time sabotaging since she's still on probation 'n I can check her - which makes me inclined to suspect she's a pony.

Which leaves Big Mac 'n Fluttershy. Honestly, I'd like to brig both at once. I know I am guaranteed to brig at least one cyborg that way, and I can get the innocent out on my own.

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Sure, ##play 0

I'd like to point out that Rarity and Trixie are the only ones who have done nothing overtly pro-pony since Sleeper (both Fluttershy and I have obviously played positive into this last check.)

I'm not actually 100% convinced of anypony's alignment at this point (except my own, obviously,) but I think there's a very real chance that Rarity and Trixie are the two Ponylons. Which would obviously explain why Rarity wants Trixie to have the Admiralcy.

Note, also, that Fluttershy and I are the two ponies who would cripple the fleet the most by being brigged. Fluttershy is our only pilot, and I can easily play multiple cards into just about every skill check, because Eeeeyup is just that broken.

So no, I do not like your ideas, Ms Rarity, not one bit.

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Oh, preload TAC for Eeeyup.

[Dexanth]

If Trixie is the other Ponylon, then she's going to XO me and I'll promptly hurl two of you in the brig. Or if she has a Critsit, she'll brig someone using her OPG and then reveal.

I've already said it's not safe to XO me - fortunately, I'm also confident that I have time to prove myself.

The best action for Trixie without XOing right now is to either tap CIC or tap Engine Room. Either get us jump prep, since with our resources as they are we can literally win the game after 6 more crises - there is no reason to not be jumping at -3 at this point, since we can still fail that -twice- and have 6 pop to spare.

However, I will not advocate such because I shall leave nopony behind!

[Bremen]

##Draw 2 POL, 1 LEA

[Dexanth]

Trixie posted a new draw preload post-sleeper phase. Also I would like to keep mine at ##Preload Draw Tac for the future as well.

I would advise CICing a basestar at the moment.

[Bremen]

So far, nopony's done anything suspicious, and if the ponylons want to act helpful I'm content to let them continue to do so.

And while I don't think we really need to fear a loss to resource attrition, there are other ways to lose that I think we should concentrate on preventing.

##Move to Command
##Launch Viper mkVII into Echo
##Have Viper shoot at heavy raider

[Dexanth]

Well, do we have any strat plannings, then?

Oh, and Val : Can you please let me know when Destiny reshuffles?

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Nnnope. My instincts are very trustworthy, though, I tell you what.

[Bremen]

I'll let you know when I get my draw!

[Dexanth]

Well, if it's not to late - I would suggest changing your draw to 1 POL 1 LEA 1 TAC, then. We don't need InvComms as much since our hand sizes are so large, most of us ought to be able to pass crises more or less alone, making for easier soft checks.

[Bremen]

Nah, I'll keep with my current one. If I don't get a strat plan at least it wont be as problematic as using the CIC without one

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Nnnope. My instincts are very trustworthy, though, I tell you what.

By which I mean, Eyup. I do have strategic plans. But they do not involve YOU ponies, not now, not ever again.

I don't know about Applejack, but I have had it up to my withers with the way you fancy unicorns and have been ordering us earth ponies around. It is time to take back what is ours.

Fluttershy, you can't be happy with that goody-goody Rarity ordering us around either. IF YOU'RE A PONYLON TOO, REVEAL NOW, AS SOON AS YOUR TURN COMES UP.



I'm going to sleep shortly. Val, if I'm not here when we get the crisis, please hold it until I can figure out whether I want to use my OPG or not.

[Bremen]

Well, that was interesting.

I suppose if I wanted to be petty I could try to change my action, but I'm not. Fluttershy, here's hoping you're a pony and can toss Big Mac in the brig ASAP.

[PingcodePinkie! Stop ringing the @$#! service bell!]

"Ah knew Megan, Big Macintosh. Whatever yer plannin', she wouldn't want it."

"It ain't too late ta change yer mind. We're so close ta Dream Valley, I can feel it. Don't do this ta the fleet, I don't want ta have ta leave behind my only brother."

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Enough is enough, Applejack. Maybe you'll change your mind when your turn comes around, if Fluttershy doesn't. Think of it... the Apple family, workin' together for all eternity. We'll have a lot of work to do. Honest, unending work, until the day when finally all flesh is dust and the stars themselves grow cold

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

Trixie has preloaded a TAC-3 Stratplan on the attack roll!
7+ to hit!
1d8 +2 = 4 + 2 = 6 MISS!

CRISIS: Filly Labor

Skill check: POL/LEA/TAC = 10
PASS: No Effect
FAIL: -1 Morale, -1 Food

POST CRISIS: Activate Raiders, NO JUMP PREP

: I don't want to cook any more food. This is BOOOOORING. I should be out in space like Fluttershy!

Edit: Holding for Big Macintosh OPG decision.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

Oh, and Val : Can you please let me know when Destiny reshuffles?

I will do my best to remember.

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Yeah that one can stay.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

Yeah that one can stay.

All players.....

PLAY CARDS!

[Dexanth]

Applejack, darling, do you have calculations in hoof? That would deal with that awful boarding party before it can board.

And Fluttershy, sweetie...if you are with us, please visit the airlock for Big Macintosh. He needs to be introduced to Magic Kindergarden. Or whatever Earth Ponies visit instead.

Lastly...this proves our dear Trixie can be trusted, as I will vouch for her, and therefore she has to be on our side.

[Bremen]

##Play Engineering-5 (Scientific Research)

Sabotage this one, Big Mac.

Also, check is reckless, feel free to play a reckless card, etc etc.

[Dexanth]

Oh, that's just lovely, then.

##Play 4

I would like to see what Fluttershy plays before you go in, Trixie. She's the only one who can sabotage now - if she's a pony, she should play nothing.

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

##Play Engineering-5 (Scientific Research)

Sabotage this one, Big Mac.

How unneighborly of you.

##play 2, preload ENG for Eyup.

[PingcodePinkie! Stop ringing the @$#! service bell!]

Whut heavy raider?

## Play ENG-3 Calculations, +1 to roll

[Dexanth]

Has...Big Mac ever drawn TRE?

[shotgunbadgerBeing pressed into labor is fun, as long as the work is peppy!]

##Play 1

[Dexanth]

So : for the upcoming turn, Fluttershy, if you are not a Ponylon, do show Big Mac to the airlock, and I will show him just how frigid Winter Wrap-Up can be when you are a robot!

If you are a Ponylon...I am so sorry, darling.

[Bremen]

Has...Big Mac ever drawn TRE?

I don't think so.

I have no idea what he could play. Even Trust Instincts would most likely help us

[Bremen]

##Play 1 card

[Bremen]

Alright, I think Applejack's pretty much cleared herself with that calculations, but Fluttershy played a card despite the suggestion not to.

So, the last Ponylon is probably either Rarity or Fluttershy, and I'm thinking Fluttershy. Which means the next two turns are going to be painful.

[Dexanth]

I would point out that I just played 4 into that check, and that it is literally impossible for me to sabotage it in any way, unless I just dropped 2 red tapes and 2 5 strength cards in. And it would have to be 2 Red Tapes, since you can get rid of the first.

Which I did not, so

[PingcodePinkie! Stop ringing the @$#! service bell!]

Ain't no need to waste.

## Play 0

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

It's reckless! Engineering is positive.

Also: Someone wasn't keeping track of their cards and has a message telling them to fix their play. If you don't have a PM, it's not you.

I can't remove both Trust Instincts anyways; we just have to hope we don't get any bad TREs. Do they stack?

However, do not resolve the
same Skill Check Ability more than once, even if more than
