A fiev rules questiones

By Gul Dukat, in Battlestar Galactica

Does a player in detentione draw crisis cards?

Couse on the brig locatione it specifcly seas ''do not draw crisis cards'' while on detentione locatione it does not say so and i did not find any refrebce to this in the rulebook. We decided a couple of games aggo that a player in detentione does draw crisis cards becouse it does not specificly state that he should not, so i'm wondering if that is the right corse of actione.

And one questione about evasive manevars, if for example raiders are activated and one of the pilots gets hit and trows in evasive manevars to save his head, the reroled dice roll -2 still sends him to sickbay, can he use another evasive manevars to force another reroll?

They draw a crisis card. Note that a player in detention also may add up to two (2) skill cards to a skill check, too!

Stumped on that one. I'd need the exact text on the card. But, yes, our group plays it that way.

Yes, you may play as many Evasive manuevers as you want. However, the -2 modifier is NOT cummulative.

Aye that is understandable, thanks for the replyes.

One more ting springs to mid, can an infiltrating cylon leader become vice president? If he can that that would practicly mean that as long as cylon leader is infiltrating noone else can become persident besides the player who holds the title at that time.

A Cylon Leader is a "Human" while infiltrating and so can be assigned Quorum cards. he could become VP but never President as outlined in teh rules. So effectively locking up the presidency. But remember that 1) The VP card is assigned so the President would have to purposely the Cylon Leader and 2) As soon as the Cylon Leader stops infiltrating - by choice or not - he would lose the VP card.

Also, it is still possible for the presidency to change hands when there's a VP in play. The VP title only stops anyone but the VP from being chosen with the Administration location. Crisis cards, Martial Law, or execution can still move the title around.

Ofcors, but it's a funny way to stop the electiones :), posibly even a tactic for a cylon player to exploit a bit.

I had asked Corey about this (since it came up in one of our games) and his answer was:

NO. Since a Cylon leader cannot be president, he cannot be Vice President.
