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

BSG (Tigh)

look at all the pretty lights! I'd go for the skill check and I can help a little.

Seriously beautiful turn, Starbuck.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Dee-lited!)

That was frakking amazing.

I say tank the check and check the Admiral, since that's crucial on New Caprica. Or the President, since she's making important decisions.

I wouldn't be able to help very much on the check anyway.

I highly recommend you check the President, as I am 100% human... but that's what a cylon would say, so...

I can't imagine a cylon Starbuck using so many cards she didn't have to just to make us think she's human. I'm almost certain she'll tell the truth about the loyalty card she checks.

I vote to TANK .

Yeah, I agree. It was pretty excessive. TOO EXCESSIVE?? I think we've been fooled before. But I would trust her on this for now.

I vote to TANK.

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

BSG

That's two votes to TANK. If everyone votes to TANK (and assuming that Starbuck chooses the skill check, which if she voted to TANK too would make sense), then I will simply reveal Destiny and resolve the check.

Thrive to spite them

BSG Cally

After that display I think Starbuck has to be human and trustworthy - right?

So I vote TANK

Either way it's more information.

TANK like a Resurrection Ship.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Scientist)

The joys of the start of the game, we have resources to spare. Alas, cards are at a minimum, so I agree, tank. I trust SuperAce-Starbuck to be on our side. That was some damn fine flyin'!

I play no cards into the check.


NoiseDesign - Jan 14, 2012 12:18:59 pm PST #14721 of 26134
Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I can go along with the choice to TANK.

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

BSG

OK, then, I choose Option 1 and vote to TANK
