Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I can help very little with the crisis check. Unless folks have some very nice cards they can play, I'm leaning towards option 2. I hate to take the Morale hit, but it's better than both Morale and Population.

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

BSG

I can help a lot with this check if I throw all my cards at it but I'm happy with option 2.

Our wings are not tired

I can help quite a bit with this check.

All of my colors help with this check, so I can help quite a bit.

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

If Apollo chooses the skill check, an IC interrupt may be played. Everyone who draws Yellow, please send me COs to pass or play.

In addition, everyone can send me COs for what they will play into the check, if it's chosen.

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

BSG

This is when I wish we could be less vague so we don't waste cards.

It sounds like we are wanting option 1. Any objections?

BSG

I'm concerned about the high value of thus skill check, and depleting our cards with 2 baseships in our space. I'm leaning towards option 2. What is the group feelings on this?

I think we end up losing a lot fewer cards if we go with option 2 but if we go for the skill check and pass it'll be a rare occasion when one of our resources increases.

It sounds like, if everyone is telling the truth, we can pass the check. However, if someone is a Cylon and spikes the check, we're going to be down 2 resources and a crapload of cards leaving us very vulnerable to the next crisis.

Passing Option 1 is more advantageous by a long shot, but Option 2 is a much safer bet.

It basically comes down to whether you believe there's a Cylon in our midst or not.

That's the tough one. Too soon to tell. At least with option 2, we add a resource and lose a resource, rather than lose two.
