Everyone passes on interrupts. Let's see how the scouting mission goes:
Die roll: 6. Success! Mr Zarek has opted to scout the Destination deck. I'm sending the top card. Mr Zarek, please post whether you wish to move it to the top or the bottom of the deck.
BSG
Oh, we won't be going THERE.
Bottom of the deck, please.
BSG
Very good. Time for a crisis. Word's got out that the Chief was a Cylon, and panic has gripped the fleet. There's going to be a good old-fashined burninating.
Witch Hunt
Skill Check (10 YG)
We'll pause for Investigative Committees and/or Scientific research. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
If *I* were still President, a burnination would be cause for CELEBRATION.
Just sayin'.
BSG
Since morale is so high, do we need to win this check?
Can you send Tigh to sick bay?
(not here. Working. well, now trying to sleep before another long day).
bsg
Hey gang. Today was long and brutal at work. Tomorrow, hopefully better. Oy this new venue is NOT ready yet.
That said, I sent BT co's for this card play based on my question in the previous post.
I also sent co's for my turn.
BSG
Can you send Tigh to sick bay?
You can. The latest FAQ, out after the release of Pegasus, changes this ruling, but I don't want to change the rules halfway through the game. A character currently in the Brig is a legitimate target for sending to Sickbay.
I have passes on all interrupts. Helo starts this check. His COs depend on the discussion he's opened here, so I'll let others respond first.
BSG
I usually err on the side of "save the stuff that can be saved" - in this case, Morale cannot be regained as easily as lost, while cards spent on the check are replaced every turn.
I'm not fixed on this course, though.
BSG
Yeah, the morale loss is inconsequential and wasting cards on the check seems foolish. The sickbay thing is more of a problem because it prevents a full card draw.
The only way it would be a good idea to send me to Sickbay is if either Helo or Starbuck can XO me so I can get out of there before my turn. We really don't want any of us missing our card draw.
Send me to sickbay.
Knowing my luck the destiny deck will score higher than 5.
ahhh stress. Wakes you up early too. Joy.
bsg
I was thinking of XO'ing Starbuck, as she is in weapons, two shots with my lovely ability to re roll one of them. Should I XO you instead? Or Starbuck, will you XO Tigh out of the brig?
Not sure when I can check the thread. BT, if gameplay needs to move on, go with what the HUMANS say.
