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

BSG

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.

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.

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

Here's how it would work. If no one plays a G&I, the check opens with Destiny putting in 2 cards. At that point, the destiny deck will have fallen to 6 cards. I will (immediately) replenish it by shuffling in 2 cards from each deck (12 cards in total), bringing it back up to 18 cards. If the current check does not reach a full pass, I will then shuffle in an additional 2 Treachery cards, so the deck will have at least 4 Treachery (plus whatever was left over in the 6 cards before I rebuild the deck. We then keep playing as normal; once Destiny has played 14 cards, so it has fallen back to 6, I will rebuild it again, with 2 cards from each deck.

Thanks for the clarification. That doesn't seem too bad.

I don't have an IC, sadly, but if Destiny is too horribly against us I can try to tangle it in red tape. I think we at least want to try and avoid the Morale loss(AGAIN!), though.

I'm sensing people aren't too worried, so I think I'd like to save my IC for a more crucial check. Maybe everyone who can help goes for the partial pass?

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

BSG

If I do help out on this check, it'll pretty much wipe out my hand. I'm not sure I want to do that.

Chief, you don't have to play all in. It's not Texas Hold 'em.

I'm a little concerned. More than it sounds like the others. I forgot about the reshuffle when low on tank, instead of out of gas. We haven't seen any t cards yet, have we? That would put 6 out of 16 cards. That sounds like a lot of bad checks. I'm new to the treachery cards. But that sounds bad.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

It looks like I can help a lot with this check. Remind me again of the drawbacks of a Reckless interrupt, I have one I could play that might help on this check.

I would strongly advise you not to play Reckless on this check, unfortunately, given that we have not seen any Treachery. Odds are 50-50 that we'll see one.
