Would it be worth it risking tossing in a repair card to pass a no effect check?

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

BSG (Dee-pendable)

I think we need to use those cards to, like, Repair things. We've got plenty to repair.

Can I move to a damaged location and not Repair it? Just chill out and be safe because it can't get damaged again?

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

You can indeed. Of course, you can't activate the location until it's repaired.

Thrive to spite them

BSG

If I could, I would. But I'm only holding 1 card and Cally can't play 1 card into a Skill check. She can play 0 or 2, but not 1.

BSG (The Good Doctor trying to keep things rolling)

OK, so we are looking at 12YG. The question is, tank or not tank. If we tank, we random loose a card. If we go for it, and fail, we waste a lot of cards AND get an extra plucked. Thankfully we get jump icon, and we jump out of this fray, and there are no heavies in the air to advance before the jump.

To recap:

Dee says she can help a lot, but hasn't really come down on one side or the other

Tigh can help, but thinks we should tank

Starbuck can't help, but would prefer NOT to tank, as she only has 2 cards.

Cally can't help.

Six is willing to make BLUE count positive. With 5 of us potentially drawing blue, that could be of use. But some of us worry that it would only put REPAIR cards at risk, which are desperatly needed. Of course, if we tank, we run the risk of those repair cards being randomly lost to the cosmos. So....

Roslin has yet to give her thoughts. Our fearless leader must be ingesting the good herbs again, and can't be disturbed.

Me. I have opinions, but it seems I am not trusted. So why waste the breathe. I'm just going to sit here, and take my mantle like a man. But I want this thing to keep moving forward, hence the recap. If we go for it, I can help a fair amount.

My CO's are in, either way, in case things start rolling when I don't have a chance to check in.

May the Gods of Kobol be with us.

BSG (Starsbuck)

My two remaining cards are good ones. Y'all really don't want me to lose the one, and either would be a blow. Well, one of you probably does, and who knows what Sleeper Phase will do to opinions re: Starbuck's skills, should they be retained?

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

BSG (Tigh)

I know I'll lose more good cards by playing into the check thank I would by a random discard & also I can't get us to a pass by myself. I feel that if we spend a bunch of cards going for "no effect" we'll find we wish we still had them when we get a crisis whose fail = Very Bad Things.

If Six chooses the skill check I will try to pass it, but I think we'll be making a mistake.

It's not Six' choice; this card only has a skill check. You're currently doing interrupts. Whether you tank the check or not depends on everybody's vote.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I can help a little with this check, but it is sounding like we probably can't muster what is needed to pass it.
