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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Anders plays no cards; Gaeta is up next.

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

BSG

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.

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.

I think taking out the mothership and maybe a Raider is a great idea. If we take out the basestar on your turn, we'll be relatively safe until we're attacked again. Which, well, could happen at any time, but that's the game.

BSG

I do think we need to be careful here; both because Destiny could go either way and because, with all this talk about how low we are on cards, we've made the Chief's hand sound like a really tempting target for a Cylon spike.

Of course we don't want to overplay, either, which is why, if someone has an IC(which sadly I do not) I strongly urge it be played.

Too late for an IC, and, well, if Chief's a Cylon, that'll sure be fun for this check.

I also want to point out how awesome my Alert Viper Pilot ability is so that people keep it in mind. It allows me to jump into any Viper placed on the board and take an additional action if I am on Galactica. This essentially means that using Command to launch a Viper is almost as good as XOing me. It also means that I will make every attempt to get back on Galactica when the skies are clear rather than hanging around for protection.
