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.
BSG
Adama puts one card in.
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.)
