Interesting tactic. He'll know how much he has to throw in - though admittedly he's only got two cards that'll do him any good and it doesn't look like he has a Y3 or a Y4 - but we'll know how much we need to throw in.
Not sure who's really got the advantage there.
BT - quick question - is it still possible to state I can help (well, hinder) a little or a lot at this stage to let others know how much each player can bring to the check? I'm last among the humans and that sort of info is useful to those before me.
Edit: Ah, of course, he can only play one card into the skill check so he's getting some use from the others. Still, I think he's made it easier for us. We just have to keep the total at 3 or less to keep him there. So, umm, we don't actually have to play any cards, any of us, because Tyrol doesn't have any and the most that Apollo is packing is a P5. Am I missing something?
BSG
If anyone decided to skip the rambling above the important message for Team Human is
play no cards.
Apollo can only play one card and he can't beat the check.
Your pilots have had their say, Apollo.

You may indeed state that.

Okay, thanks. Moot as it turns out for this check.

I play nothing, having summoned el Squad del Goons.

My Pradmiral says we humans don't have to play anything, so I'll save my cards.
Helo plays
NO
cards.

Tigh and Apollo have left COs:
Play no cards.
The final tally is -3. Apollo remaind embriggened. He therefore draws no Crisis card, and this concludes his turn.
Chief Tyrol, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative details: Apollo's escape attempt exhausted the Destiny deck. I've created a new one. Chief Tyrol's card draw has exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

All these cylon accusations are unfounded! I'm going to speak directly to the press.
I

Colonial One

2 Yellow Skill Cards.
