Hey, a huge part of this game is managing conflicting advice from the rest of the folks. I mean ,in the show Adama had Saul to advise him.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Skill Check it is! This one is a 12 YGP.
Before playing into the check, I need decisions on interrupts from everyone, per the email I sent out. Twelve hours to send them in (emailed to me or posted here). You can send me conditional orders for your cards for the Skill Check at the same time if you want.
After interrupts are in, the order in which cards will be played into the check is as follows:
Destiny Deck
Adama
Roslin
Baltar
Apollo
Boomer

Adama puts one card in.
Just for morale, really, because I doubt we'll pass it and even if we fail the check we might not lose population.

Contrary to what you all may think, Gaius Baltar can help. A little.

Big talk, Dr. Baltar. However, now is the time for you to prove your loyalty with action!
(i.e. we are past the declaration of support and into the actual playing of cards. I can't play my cards until you do. The system works a bit like this:
1. Crisis declared
2. Players discuss whether to play cards to try and beat crisis or to take the alternative. This is where you say whether you can help a little or a lot or not at all.
3. Player drawing the card decides whether to play cards or take the alternative based on the discussion in pt.1 above, or the voices in his/her head.
4. If player who drew the card decides to try and overcome the challenge then each player in turn declares how many cards s/he is putting into the pot (0-10).
5. Crisis resolved either for or against players.
6. Rinse and repeat for the next player.

Hold up a moment. I still haven't heard on interrupts from Roslin or Boomer. (You can email me what cards you'll play - indeed I encourage it - you just can't post the number publicly yet.)
