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.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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

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.

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".

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.

That's everyone. Everyone that matters, anyway. (Sorry, Chief!) Tankage ensues! Destiny reveals:
Major Victory 2
Consolidate Power 2
Tally: 2 - 2 = 0. Fail! Dr Baltar reports that his Cylon detector has been replaced by a cardboard box with a post-it note attached, proclaiming "GOM JABBAR" in purple crayon!
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Zarek's turn. Helo is up next. This will be a fast turn, as he's still stranded. Hold on to something heavy, like Season 3 Apollo!
