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

I have conditional orders from the others: no interrupts. Time to add cards to the check, in order. Remember: if it's not your turn to add cards yet, don't post here, but you can send me conditional orders.

Destiny: 2 cards.
Baltar:
Apollo:
Boomer:
Adama:
Roslin:

Adama, you're up next; then Roslin will finish up this check.

So Fable 2 has an online game you play at their website, and what you do in that game results in you finding 1 of 3 possible treasures in the Xbox game.

I got the chicken suit.

I'm not sure why, and I will say that it's hard to fight when dressed like a 7-foot-tall chicken mascot. But I spent some time last night doing the obvious thing, and had statues made of me-as-chicken. Doing the chicken dance.

We watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising last night. Way big funny.

I play one card.

EDIT: Unless, I am not required to play a card in this circumstance, and both the experienced players think this would again be too many cards played too early on.

You aren't required to play a card for skill checks. I'm not sure how to advise you; we really should try to pass this (see previous comments about Morale, plus I think that Morale is the most attacked of any). If we lose this one, you have to discard 4 cards...may be better to play it and try to win the check than to hold it and have to throw 4 away.
