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

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?

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?

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

BSG

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.

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.

BSG

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.

Our wings are not tired

I say we go for the check.

May the gods be with us on this one. It seems all but one of us can chip in a bunch. I really hope nobody is a cylon yet.

action - Lets go with option 1, skill check.

Apollo has chosen the skill check. Everyone who draws Politics (i.e. Apollo and Zarek), please pass or play on Investigative Committee interrupts.

Helo will start the check and Apollo will finish it. Everyone can also send me COs for your play into the check, if you have them. I've received some COs already, and will happily take more.
