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

BSG (Leoben)

edit: Oops was looking at the positive colors wrong. I can help with an interrupt if someone else has some blue to play. Otherwise I am helpless.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have some Blue to play but I would only be able to help a little, and it might be better to use the card as an action. If I'm the only person who would play Blue, it's probably not worth it. Baltar?

Won't do me any good. Did I make a suggestion about that before Cottle decided who to treat?

OK I'm going to pass on interrupts.

Here's a question, totally unrelated to any cards I might have: Would it help anyone if a 0 card actually counted as 1 positive for this check?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Would negative 0 cards count negative as well?? Oooo. That could be fun!

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Helo)

oooh! That would be fun. I can get behind that plan.

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

I don't think that's permissible under secrecy. Player's aren't permitted to identify cards played into skill checks. This question both discusses a card that takes effect by being played into the skill check, and asks people to talk about what they can play into the check.

(By the same token, I don't think the previous question about if anyone could play Blue was kosher. It's ok to ask if other people think it would be a good idea for Blue to be positive; but not to ask if they personally can make use of it.)

OK then, who thinks it would be a good idea if 0 cards were 1 positive?

This still has the problem that the only way it can happen is through a card being added to the skill check. (In this it differs from the SR question, as that's an interrupt played openly before the check.) Generally speaking, I'd be happier avoiding any questions about the advisability of skill check effect cards.
