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

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.

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

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.

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

BSG (Dee)

I can help a lot, you can help a little, and Tigh can help. I think we would need help from Destiny to pass, and I'm not sure we can count on that, even if we get extra help. I don't want to throw Repair cards into this check, although Baltar is right that we might lose some in the random discards.

Gah, this is tough. If we want to go for it, I'll go for it, but it's iffy. It sounds like it would be worth it if we do pass, just...a big waste if we don't.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Sounds like we are all waffling on this one. I think we need a type A to say "go for it" or "tank it". Given everyones suspicion of me, it should not be me. But we need to decide. Is it 6, because its her turn? As a human, I'm not fully comfortable with that (and it has nothing to do with those creepy, but hot, lucid wet dreams she's been giving me). Is it the Presidents call? The Admiral's? Not sure. But someone really needs to step forward and say which way to go, and if going for it, should we add the Blues to the mix.

I really think we should tank it.

BSG (Dee-pendent)

Then I will stand by the Admiral. I vote to TANK. May the gods be with us.

BSG (The Good Doctor)

So say we all.

SO SAY WE ALL!

(by that, I follow the leader, and 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

Near as I can tell, these are the current positions:

Baltar: Holding out for a hero
Dee: Wants a bet each way
Roslin: Eeyore
Cally: Can't play
Starbuck: My precioussss
Tigh: TANK
Six: Blinding you with science

A TANK check needs to be unanimous. Starbuck, you seem most opposed to a TANK. Do you definitely vote against one? If so, the rest of the discussion becomes moot.

Updates: Dee and Baltar are now in the TANK bin too.
