BSG (Roslinsane)
Trusting our Instincts has never worked out for us. I've stopped trying to keep track of Destiny, so I don't really have a guess. I think some Guts and Initiative would go a long way, but we really need Boomer to chime in. She's batting clean up, and if she thinks she can take us there, then eliminating Destiny would make it a safe bet. If she thinks we'll need more help, then maybe try our luck? And lose?
BSG
It's really going to be up to Boomer, I can't really help with this check.
BSG (Roslincontinent)
Oh craaaaaap.
BSG
So does anyone have an idea if Destiny is more likely to help or hinder us?
Destiny was just refilled, so there are at least two cards of each colour therein. Of course, the six cards held over from the last deck may have a bias in one direction or another.
BSG (Boomer)
ugh sorry I've been sick.
I can help a lot.
BSG
I hope you're feeling better now. We're on interrupts at the moment. Roslin played an IC and Blue is already positive, so the only possible remaining interrupts are Reckless. Do you wish to pass or play?
BSG (Boomer)
Ah yes, pass on interrupts.
BSG
And with that we're off! I have COs from - well, almost everyone.
Decode Cylon Maps:
8 PB
Destiny:
2 cards
Dee:
Full Throttle 1
Cain:
Trust Instincts 0
Starbuck:
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Boomer:
Roslin:
(COs received)
Running tally: 0 - 2 = -2 + Destiny (+ MORE Destiny). Boomer is up next.
BSG (Happy Boo Year)
OK sorry for the probable overkill but I really want to pass.
I play CS-4, CS-5, R-2, R-2
BSG
With Roslin's COs, we have:
Decode Cylon Maps:
8 PB
Destiny:
2 cards
Dee:
Full Throttle 1
Cain:
Trust Instincts 0
Starbuck:
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Boomer:
Critical Situation 4, Critical Situation 5, Repair 2, Repair 2
Roslin:
0 cards
Running tally: 13 - 2 = 11 + Destiny. And Destiny reveals:
Consolidate Power 2, Executive Order 2
Tally = 7. Fail! But we're not done yet. There's a Trust Instincts 0 in the check, which means Destiny adds yet another two cards:
Launch Scout 2, Special Destiny 2
Tally is still 7. Fail! But Roslin plays a Declare Emergency 3. The check DC falls by 2 to 6. Pass! Another civvie gets prepped.
Finally, a new Centurion appears at the Occupation Authority. Beyonce is determined to be your doom. That concludes Roslin's turn. Dee has opted to mark the festive season by putting a Santa hat on Beyonce. And drawing 1 Green and 1 Red. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
