Hey, guys, I'm going to be out of town until Thursday. Not sure what my connectivity will be like, if My phone works, I should at least have email. I'll let Billytea know about any decisions that way.

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

With people away, you should get to take things easy. Zarek's crisis is:

An Offer of Peace
Skill Check (12 YG)

Geez, what do we have to do to catch a jump icon? On the other hand, good thing we jumped early.

So, this check is weird. We haven't seen any Treachery yet, so that would mean we'd be facing five Treachery cards. What's the general feeling on our ability to pass the check or at least get to 6+? Would an IC help? I would rather save the card I would play into this check to play on my turn, especially because I don't know what will happen on Helo's turn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Destiny will be down to 6 cards after this check (assuming no Guts & Initiative), so there will be an influx of a bunch of cards into Destiny, which makes a couple of extra Treachery seem not so bad to me. I don't know that that's an accurate analysis, more of a gut feeling. I'd rather not lose the Morale, of course.

Hey, I could help a little with this check, weird!

I can help with the check, but I'm not sure how hard we want to try to get the full pass. Thoughts?

If I play an IC, you think you can pull of a partial pass? Saving Morale would be nice.

I can help a little. I hope we can at least get the partial pass. So the extra treachery cards would be in the destiny deck forever? That kinda sucks.

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

BSG

I can help a smidge. But my Spidey senses are tingling. I don't think Destiny is going to be kind to us. But, I'm not a card counter, so I can't say for certain. Either way, that means Destiny will be doubly nasty to us with those Reckless cards shuffled in.

I'm torn between tanking and hoping we can make it to the partial.
