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

I thunk I'd rather not go to the extent of providing links (though there's no penalty for it), but just stating things like "1 Treachery came out in that check with the thing" is ok.

Got it.

Turns out the check I saw Treachery come out was after we all had Treachery, but we've all openly discarded that Treachery card we got since then, so it had to have been from Destiny.

I think I found my error, Starbuck. Now I have to think.

Ah, then we're good.

Now that I do the math here, it seems like AAC is rarely worth it. It's only worth it if you get two Treachery cards in a check, which MAY happen from Destiny. I suppose it's more used to discourage Cylons from spiking with Treachery, especially revealed ones.

That is, it's not worth it if you could play it as a positive card instead. If you can't, then have at it, I suppose.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh wait, I might play an SR. Hang on a sec while I figure something out.

If Cally has no repair cards & now I have no repair cards that means we have four blue cards that are at least 3 & above between us. Shall I play an SR?

edit: oh wait, there could be zeroes or those other 1-2 cards that aren't repairs. still... what do you all think?

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

BSG

I can think of situations where the AAC would be useful, and this almost is one, but not really. So I will pass on interrupts.

Can't help with the SR decision.

You didn't pull Repair either? Damn.

If the Blue cards you have aren't Repair and you play SR, I could double their value with an Establish Network and keep the card I was going to play to possibly use on my turn.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I can help on this check without the need for the SR, so I think we can save it.

OK I will pass on interrupts (leaving me unable to help with the check).

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 interrupts from the remaining players. The check begins! Tory is up first.

Destiny: 2 cards
Tory:
Starbuck:
Kat: COs received
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Tigh:
