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.

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

BSG

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 Dr Baltar reports that his Cylon detector has been replaced by a cardboard box with a post-it note attached, proclaiming "GOM JABBAR" in purple crayon!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

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.

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

I like that. Sad to say, still can't help with the check.

Dr Baltar reports that his Cylon detector has been replaced by a cardboard box with a post-it note attached, proclaiming "GOM JABBAR" in purple crayon!

That's just great.

I still can't do anything to help - or hinder, so that's something!

At least all this tanking is keeping the Cylons from spiking checks! :)
