Not moments after yanking the Presidency back by the skin of her teeth, no less. Hm.

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

Do secrecy rules prevent her from telling us what was on the other card?

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

Absolutely yes. Whenever a player gets to see a card that the other players don't (including scouting missions, rejected destinations, loyalty checks), they may not give any details about that card, beyond saying whether it was good or bad (or, for loyalty, whether it was a Cylon card or a human card).

So I'm going to trust my son and hope he's not a toaster!
I play XO-1 to Apollo.
Now go take out those raiders!
So say we all.

Thanks, Dad, I'll try not to let you down! For my first action I will escort Civvie A home, then CAG the RSV sharing my sector to escort Civvie B home and then fire on the raiders.

Care to comment?
Insofar as I can say, it really wasn't a matter of colors I could help with, just that the other card was worse. I am finding the two color draw, plus my weakness, pretty seriously limiting.
Out of character, I do have to say that there's been a lot of "Seriously, that's my choice?" email going on behind the scenes.
Anyway, go Apollo!

Apollo shoots at a raider.
Die roll: 7. Hit! There are now four raiders left, in accordance with the prophecy. Which prophecy? This one:

Option 2 doesn't sound too bad except the next crisis card will probably suck. Because they all suck. (BTW, it is pretty easy to believe the other choice you had was worse, Pres, since, as noted above, they all suck). OTOH, not drawing another crisis card just means we'll get whatever it is on Chief's turn. Gah. I don't know.
Anyway, 6 is not a very high threshold, maybe we could pass that check? I would be able to help a little. And losing 1 Pop doesn't seem to bad at this point if we fail.
In conclusion: decisions hard, exploding raiders pretty.

BSG (Roslin)
Yeah, I suppose they're not called "crisis" cards for nothing.
And anyway, this one at least is in my colors, so I could help. But it doesn't hurt too bad to try for the other crisis card either, since the basestar activation does nothing. Maybe this one will be the puppies and rainbows crisis.

Oh, yeah, another crisis card might give us a Jump icon. Hmmm.
I don't know, Dad. Good luck with deciding.
