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.
BSG
Ooh...so it doesn't get turned up right away? I had forgotten that from previous games I guess. Sorry, remaining people for whom I have now introduced the element of uncertainty!

It does not. (Consider if there were no IC, it'd be impossible to resolve immediately without revealing what you played.) Now the Destiny of Damocles hangs over this check!
BSG
Oh, right. That is true. Captain Logic has departed my tugboat.
BSG

He has given way to... Commandant Destiny!
BSG
I
play CP-2, CP-2, LS-1, LS-1, AAC-5.
BSG
Hold up a moment. I need to clarify something with Tory.
BSG
Clarified with Tory. Her play:
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:
Consolidate Power 2, Consolidate Power 2, At Any Cost 5, Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1
Adama:
Running tally: 20 - 9 = 11 + Destiny 2: Destiny Boogaloo.
Adama to play last.
BSG
Okay, I'm not sure how to go about this. The worst that destiny could do to us is -12 if we get really unlucky. It may help us. I don't want to overplay, but I also don't want do leave us screwed on this one. Anyone have any idea how destiny might play on this?
