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

BSG

Damn. That's not great, but it isn't always an issue. There are only a handful of cards that let you check Loyalty cards as it is, right? I can't actually help on this check anyway.

BSG

Hmm. I don't have an opinion on whether to fail or not. I will mention, I can render this check essentially 4GP.

BSG

I still have no cards, so I can't help in any way. That's an interesting Fail effect. It may not ever come up, or it may be crucially important.

Huh. That may be worth going for, maybe? If people think they can overcome Destiny.

It may not ever come up, or it may be crucially important.

Yeah, seriously. If we tank this check, it could lead to a very interesting game. Or it could be meaningless. (I think we should tank the check JUST to see what happens and tempt fate. I mean, even passing it could be meaningless or crucially important, but only failing allows us to save cards.)

On reflection, passing this check would leave me short on cards for an entire round. Also, we have neither a Baltar nor a Boomer.

I play no interrupts and vote to TANK.

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

BSG

Wow, this is interesting! I havn't checked my email yet and I have no clue what this crisis is going to be.

Pass on interrupts.

Vote to TANK.

I have yet to play a game where checking anyone's loyalty cards helped anybody but the player doing the checking.

That's true. That one time I was Cylon Helo and Roslin checked my Loyalty card and told everyone I was a Cylon, I was like, shut up, and then we moved on.

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

BSG

So far we have votes to tank from Apollo, Helo and Zarek. Chief has no cards, so that pretty much leaves Gaeta and Anders to vote (and do interrupts). As an aside, my iPhone wanted to change that to "and do interiors".

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

BSG

I'm not keen on not being able to check loyalty cards. But I can't be of much help on the check anyhow. And as mentioned, loyalty card checking is only as reliable as the person checking. I'm inclined to say TANK to save cards to debrig me.
