A display of nonaggression from Helo. See, now that could be the beginning of a real detente there. Will the Cylons come to the party? Helo's crisis card is:
An Offer of Peace
Skill Check (12 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Cottle plays first, Helo last.
BSG (Apollo)
Doesn't Helo get an extra action? I guess Scouting the Crisis Deck would be out of line at this point, but...just so that wasn't overlooked.
BSG
Doesn't Helo get an extra action?
Correct; he passed on taking any further actions.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
Should we tank it then? And save cards?
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts; the check begins.
An Offer of Peace:
12 YG
Destiny:

Cottle:

Hoshi:
Apollo:
(COs received)
Helo:
Hoshi is up next. I actually had COs from Hoshi too, but they were prior to the TANK talk. I don't think there's been any resolution on the tanking issue, so here we are.
BSG
Administrative note: Destiny's play into the skill check reduced it to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Hey, just got an email from Days of Wonder, they are having Ticket To Ride for the iPad for $2.99 instead of normal $6.99. I think it's great. Better than the board version (since it shows you where your cities are). Highly recommend.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
Well. With half the folks playing 0 cards. There isn't much chance of me carrying this. So, I change my CO's, and proceed with tank, even though it wasn't a group consensus. Hey, it's what Admirals do. We take charge, and make executive decisions.
