Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think Cally's ability to pull a card from the check will prove to be very useful here. We can do this! It's only 6 now!

Our wings are not tired

BSG

If I play into the check then I think we have a very good change. I'm limited since my options are to either play no cards, or to play 2 or more cards.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yeah, lets go for it, then.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Yeah, I think we've got this. Cally plays last, right? So you can see how many cards we've all played and decide if you need to play or not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

I have passes on ICs, which means we are ready to start. Baltar's Jury Rigged reduces the difficulty to 6; Boomer's SR makes Blue positive. Anders is first to play. Post the number of cards you play, and send me the details. You can send me COs before your turn if you wish.

Destiny: 2 cards
Anders:
Cain:
Baltar:
Boomer:
Cally:

Actually, I have COs from the first three players:

Edit: make that the first four players.

Destiny: 2 cards
Anders: 0 cards 1 card
Cain: 0 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Boomer: 2 cards
Cally:

Cally left to go.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

The SR changes things, I can help a lot, so I'm sending new orders to the bossman. I play one card.

Oops, too late?

I'll allow it, the SR changes things and it won't change anyone else's orders. Anders plays 1 card.

Cally, I'm guessing you should play at least 2 cards, but you probably don't need to overcompensate.
