How about a Support the People interrupt, helpful?
Abso-damn-lutely! Then I could actually help. I think that if I got the Political Prowess, I couldn't use it because the check would have begun, but, hey, it's worth 6. Or maybe I should go for Purple? Looking at your hands, Tigh and Kat, you have an anecdotal guess as to which stack will have higher-value cards left?
Oh, and the Cylons don't have Treachery yet, so there's just a one in six chance Destiny will do something, if that.
Which is the better choice, one die roll you hope to get four or better on, or four die rolls you hope to get four or better on? In the first case each pip represents a viper destroyed. In the second, each roll of four or above does.
The former. That card is badass. Even if you roll under four, you'll still destroy at least one Raider.
BSG
Heh, that's a nice decision to have before you, Kat.
OK,
Support the People - 2
and I'll go get some COs started for the check.
BSG
I have had a few high value purples in my hand recently.
BSG
That's true. You had some high SPs.
I will draw
2 Yellow,
then. I'll have to wait to see what they are before putting in COs; if they're both really high, one may be useful to keep. If I get two Red Tapes again, I will punch someone.
BSG
Hey, wait: if I get Political Prowess, we
could
tank this brig check and use Kat's second action to activate the brig again, and then I could use it, and then we wouldn't waste any cards. But we would waste the extra action. Is that a dumb move?
It probably is. But I thought of it, so I had to say it.
Oh! I just realized Tory can't spike this check because she drew Yellow. So we're only up against Cally and Destiny. Whew.
BSG
Tory can't spike this check because she drew Yellow
Isn't the check purple/yellow?
BSG
She only has one card, and it's Yellow.
BSG
{Waggles her one menacing yellow card like a soccer ref.}
BSG
Oh, no, we've been warned! No fouls, people, be careful with the sliding tackles.
BSG
First up, a reminder on secrecy. For playing into skill checks, you can't state what colours you have/are playing. You can only state that you are helping a little or a lot (or a medium amount, if playing multiple cards). There've been a couple of people skating around this lately.
You guys have the rules pretty much down pat anyway, but for confirmation:
But if you use the CS to get out of the Brig you would have another action this turn, is that right?
That is correct. You may move to any location on Galactica, and would still have your regular action left, which you could then take normally.
Which is the better choice, one die roll you hope to get four or better on, or four die rolls you hope to get four or better on? In the first case each pip represents a viper destroyed. In the second, each roll of four or above does.
On a regular shot at a raider, you only need 3 or more to hit.
I think that if I got the Political Prowess, I couldn't use it because the check would have begun, but, hey, it's worth 6.
Correct. It forestalls any interrupts, so you'd need it before interrupts were played.
Ok! I have passes on remaining interrupts. The check begins!
