does the lambada, it IS the forbidden dance
See, and this is only... eight years after I'd requested it. That's quite a backlog you're working on there.
Meanwhile! The Admiral's leaderhips have unsurprisingly swayed (sic) members of the Cylon populace. Can they really countenance wiping out a humanity that is still capable of setting the dance floor en fuego? Adama's crisis is:
Dissent among Cylons
Skill Check (12 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Boomer plays first, Adama last. Reminder: as this is Adama's turn, all 1s count positive, regardless of colour.
BSG (Felix)
MOAR CARDS!
Okay, I could help a little, and/or I could make the check recklessly easier. Given our current situation wrt a board empty of OFs, the risks incurred by recklessness are somewhat mitigated.
I can help on this check, and I'm three cards over my limit, so I'll have to play them or trash them no matter what.
BSG
Okay, it's not very high to begin with, especially just to avoid the fail effect, so I'll save my recklessness for a more vital check. I
play no interrupts.
BSG (Tory, the committerator)
Why be reckless when you can form a committee?
I
play an IC-3
BSG
Everyone else passes on interrupts. I have COs from Boomer (well done, thou good and faithful toaster), and she's only fuelling the dissent!
Destiny:
Consolidate Power 1, Maximum Firepower 3
Boomer:
Scout for Fuel 6
Ellen:
Gaeta:
Tory:
Adama:
Running tally: 2 - 9 = -7. Fail.
Ellen is up next.
BSG (Ellen)
Holy frakking monkeyballs.
she's only fuelling the dissent!
I see what you did there.
2 - 9 = -7. Fail.
You mean 1 - 9 = -8, right?
I
play CP-2, PP-3.
BSG
You mean 1 - 9 = -8, right?
Oh, sorry. I hadn't updated Destiny from the previous check. It was -7, now -2:
Destiny:
Support the People 2, Human Weakness 3
Boomer:
Scout for Fuel 6
Ellen:
Consolidate Power 2, Preventative Policy 3
Gaeta:
Tory:
Adama:
Gaeta is next.
BSG (Gaeta)
Sheesh, guess I should have hung onto that Red Tape!
I
play XO1, LS1, TI0.
The Instinct is a gamble, but I'm working on the premise that it's gotta help more than my piddly one pointers after being negative to begin with, and that we'll be able to see what it does. I haven't been keeping up my spreadsheet, so I have no real idea what might actually be in that deck right now.
Argh, the more I talk about it, the more convinced I am that I don't, in fact, trust my instincts. But what the frak, I'm going for it.
BSG
Gaeta trusts his instincts. Won't you?
Destiny:
Support the People 2, Human Weakness 3
Boomer:
Scout for Fuel 6
Ellen:
Consolidate Power 2, Preventative Policy 3
Gaeta:
Executive Order 1, Trust Instincts 0, Launch Scout 1
Tory:
Adama:
Running tally: 9 - 9 = 0.
Tory is next.
