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

NEGATIVE. Looking at others loyalty cards is key. I can help a fair amount.

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

In what way have you found looking at loyalty cards to be helpful, omnis? I know I've only played two games so far but both times we figured out who the cylons were from skill checks.

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 see Laga's point, but the fact is (unless someone has been doing a real good job of hiding it) we seem to have 5 humans right now. Which means two of them are going to go toaster at some point and we won't be able to use their prior behavior as an indicator. Being able to see Loyalty cards may end up crucial once we hit the Sleeper phase.

That said, I don't think the world is going to end if we fail this one.

I can help a little with the check, but those cards may be better spent on other things, especially since I'm currently in Sickbay and won't be getting my full draw short of an XO prior to my turn.

Y'all know my preference but if we decide to go for the check I will help us pass.

Edit: I just realized my good purple card is Strategic Planning and I don't want to give that up with all these cylons in our sky. I will still help a little.

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

I have passes on interrupts. Apollo is first to play into the check, and I have COs from him:

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 2 cards
Helo:
Zarek:
Adama:
Boomer:

Helo is next to play.

I have orders from Helo to play 1 card. President Zarek is next.

I can help a lot with this check.

Has anyone seen Sean around the last couple of days?

I'll try to get his rear in gear, he was at all the festivities over the weekend and was working for me yesterday, so he's around, just clearly not checking in here.
