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.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

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.

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

there are some Treachery cards that take effect only if played into a Reckless skill check. They could do things like place a basstar on the board, or make everyone draw Treachery. If none of these Treachery cards turn up, there is no effect.

At this point, the danger of the Reckless skill check would be that Special Destiny or Broadcast Location would come up in Destiny (By Your command would, I think, have no effect). So really it's just 2 out of the 6 Treachery cards (I don't know their frequency distribution) that are dangerous. And Special Destiny wouldn't be too terrible, since there are no revealed cylons to pounce on discarded Treachery, yet. But Broadcast Location would get us a basestar, and it's been very pleasant not being under attack.
Guts & Initiative wouldn't run that risk. At Any Cost would, but would make Treachery count positive, which would at least be a tradeoff of dangers.
Eta: AAC might be handier later on if we don't fully pass this check, come to think of it

Well, whatever we end up trying to do, I can safely pass on interrupts.

It's an AAC that I can use to help this check. It seems like it might be a good way to go since there seems to be a consensus that we could see treachery in this check.

Yeah, I don't know. It might be a good call. The positive and negative risks seem pretty close by my measure (which is a highly rigorous guesstimate, fwtw).

Yeah, an AAC wouldn't be bad. AAC, no IC, go for a partial pass?
