I do not benefit from a tank. I benefit from the Consequence, which triggers whether or not we pass or fail, I believe.
Ah. Okay, clearly this whole thing was confusing to me! I was reading the Consequence as a part of the fail. Well, that makes sense.
BSG
Another note: I currently have votes from Starbuck and Kat to
TANK.
Note: the tank vote is NOT a majority vote. I will only treat a check as being tanked if all (human) players vote to tank it. Otherwise, we will conduct the check as normal, and I will ignore any COs for if the check was to be tanked.
Remember too, we're currently doing interrupts as well. Everyone, please pass or play. you can still put in both interrupts and contributions, even if you vote to tank. Your interrupt and skill check orders will only take effect of there is not a consensus vote to tank.
In other words, you can (if you want) vote to tank, but prepare for the event that others want to go for it.
BSG
I'm still on the fence about tanking this check.
BSG
I vote to
TANK
the check.
BSG
Cally joins Starbuck and Kat in voting to tank the check. However, Tigh and Tory have not, and have both indicated they can help in this check. The
TANK
vote is just there to speed things up when everyone is on the same page. Since not everyone voted to tank, we'll go through the check. (Everyone's had the chance to play interrupts, so I assume everyone has passed.)
We will therefore start the check. Tory is up first. The crew's attitude towards this check seems mixed, so I'm going to double-check some COs. In the meantime, here's the token:
Destiny:
2 cards
Tory:
Starbuck:
Kat:
Cally:
Tigh:
BSG
Tory, please indicate whether you've decided to tank as well, since that will determine what I play. I don't want to sabotage an actual attempt to pass!
BSG
No, I'll go with the will of the people. I
play no cards,
since that will give me a chance at keeping the positive one, should we need to discard.
BSG
that will give me a chance at keeping the positive one, should we need to discard.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that! I suppose that's good.
I
play no cards.
I wonder if by some miracle Destiny will give us two 6s to pass this check. Wouldn't that be something?
BSG
Kat is up next. (Kat did submit COs, but the situation is a little ambiguous, so I'll get her to confirm.)
BSG
Ok, I reckon I can implement Kat's COs. I have orders from Cally too:
Destiny:
2 cards
Tory:
0 cards
Starbuck:
0 cards
Kat:
0 cards
Cally:
0 cards
Tigh:
Admiral Tigh to finish.
