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.

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

BSG

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

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 Dr Baltar reports that his Cylon detector has been replaced by a cardboard box with a post-it note attached, proclaiming "GOM JABBAR" in purple crayon!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!

Helo's cards have been sent. I may have overdone that bit; Helo's crisis is:

Low Supplies
Skill Check (7 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play/vote on whether to TANK/send me COs for the check itself. Apollo will play first, Helo last.

BSG

I can't help at all with this check. I really hate the notion of failing all these checks. But I suppose tanking is better than expelling cards.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

I can help with the check, and I can reduce it to 3YG.
