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

I think no: That's Bill Adama's special power, not the Admiral's. Also, that power is just for crisis card checks.

Correct on both counts. (His power works automatically though, so for skill checks from Crisis Cards on Adama's turn, you don't have the choice as to whether your 1 card counts positive - it will.)

President Roslin, it's your turn to play into the check.

This check is YG, right? I have nothing but positive cards to add to this check, so I will play, oh, um, let me think about this for a second....

NO CARDS.

Hmph.

I have COs from Dr Baltar too:

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 1 card
Roslin: No cards
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo:

Admiral Apollo, you will conclude this check.

I play one card. Courteously.

I have orders from the Admiral; he very thoughtfully plays one card as well, as a show of solidarity with his brigged colleagues. Check results:

Yellow 2
Yellow 5
Green 2
Red 2
Red 4
Blue 4

Tally: 9 - 10 = -1. Fail. Laura Roslin remains President. Apollo blames Chief Strategist for his failed 'Singing Campaign' strategy.

As a special treat, since Apollo is out of the Brig, we have a Crisis!

I never really wanted it anyway. Just testing your loyalty to to that drug-addled harridan you're sharing intimate space with, y'all.

Sorry about the water shortage; Dualla insists on strawberry-scented bubblebaths 3 times a day. What can ya do?

Which reminds me how one of my friends thought this game was Clue with cylons: "Boomer, in the water tanks, with the C4"

Sounds like an entry from the Chief's diary.

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

ya, sounds pretty pervy to me. C4 makes knife play seem pretty vanilla if you ask me.
