Hi folks. Sorry, I misunderstood my weakness. I thought it was initial card pull, not first turn card pull. Thankfully BT guessed my card choice perfectly.

BSG

I could help a little with this check, but given I am not getting any new cards for quite some time, I'm inclined to pass on this check. But really don't want first crisis card to damage our bird. And certainly don't want Chief to be cardless.

I'd love to hear folks advice on this. Sucks that I'm first to toss in on this check.

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

It sounds like Zarek may be able to cover you. I was considering holding off myself since it will be a while till I get to draw as well, but I need to hear from everyone else. Everyone should have positive cards for this check, after all. Unfortunately, I just played one.

If enough people can play a lot, then maybe you and I who can only help a little can hold off? I also don't want us to overshoot so early.

Zarek nods. "I don't mind spending what I have to cover those with, ah, *depleted* influence, Captain. However, I don't currently have the political capital to convene an investigation."

I hear ya, Anders. I'm having trouble figuring out what I can play into the check without handicapping myself for the future too much as well. I'd advise you to not play anything that you could use on your upcoming turn, as an Action or whatever, but otherwise - I don't know, it's a tough call. Unless Felix and/or Helo are sitting on a lot of help.

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 COs to pass on interrupts from the other players. No one's voting to tank, so let's get this underway. Anders is up first.

Destiny: 2 cards
Anders:
Gaeta:
Zarek:
Helo:
Apollo:
Chief: COs received

Once again, I encourage everyone to send in COs if it's not yet your turn to play. Makes things move much more smoothly.

Quick aside: Billytea, can you use the gmail address to send me stuff? That one gets forwarded to my phone, but I can't check the other one at work.

Will do.

I'd love to hear others input, but I know tomorrow I'll be busy all day. To keep things rolling, I'm going to pass on playing into this check.

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

I can help a little.

Gaeta, I hope you can help out. I think I'm going to sit this one out and count on our 50/50 Destiny odds to get us through this so I can help on a future check instead. It's going to be a long time before I get my card draw.
