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.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

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.

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

BSG

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.

Looking ahead to my turn, I'm debating between an xo to -t to hopefully activate weapons twice and kill the mothership, and maybe take out a raider.

Or go after a blue card to boost my hand since I'm not getting a draw this first round.

Love to hear thoughts. I'll be working till about 7ish board time. So hopefully the skill check will be done by then, and I can make a decision tonight.

Got my finger on the trigger, ready to fire. If you move to the Research Lab you'd be poised to draw some cards as soon as we aren't under attack, assuming someone who isn't me can XO you.

I'm in favor of an XO. That crippled basestar is a tasty target. Without an XO, drawing more cards is always a good option.
