Ah crap. I left my character sheet at home. I may need a little extra help if I'm to continue playing through the f2f. Not to mention I'll need to borrow someone else's computer.
I've emailed you the details of your character sheet. (You'll still need to sort out computer access. I can't email that.)
Laga can use my computer.

So? What was the consensus? Should I play one of my few remaining cards? Do we need it or not, with such a small goal?
ETA
OK, it seems I have (2) cards, not three, so if my card isn't needed, I'd rather save them for when they are. But I don't want to fail a check, especially one so low.
BSG
So is that a pass on playing cards from Boomer?
BSG
Boomer, you can save your cards.
BSG
I will not assist on this one, by overwhelming consensus. 1-0.
BSG
Admiral Adama, how many cards do you wish to contribute to the check?
A reminder, especially while a couple of our players are at the F2F, sending me conditional orders will make things move faster.
BSG
Thank you Admiral. I have COs from Roslin and Baltar, so the Skill Check now stands as follow:
Destiny:
2 cards
Boomer:
0 cards
Adama:
2 cards
Roslin:
2 cards
Baltar:
1 card
Apollo:
Captain Apollo, your play will conclude this Skill Check.
The online game in which I'm playing Dr Baltar [link] has just elevated itself to awesome. Admiral Tigh revealed himself as a Cylon in a truly masterful and gutsy display. Didn't quite pay off as he'd hoped (he was making a play for a Cylon sympathiser), but he still did damage, and the game's hit a new level in the subsequent accusations.
Especially for the people in the game over here, I recommend checking it out (say from about here - [link] - scroll down to the start of Tigh's turn). This kind of treachery is what makes the game such fun.
BSG
Apollo has given me his orders - Play 1 card. A total of 8 cards in the Skill Check. Here are the results:
Green 1
Green 1
Green 1
Green 2
Purple 2
Yellow 1
Red 1
Red 5
Total:
7 - 7 = 0.
Fail!
-1 Morale, Adama is sent to Sickbay.
Cylons:
Launch. No effect.
Jump Prep:
No.
