"Boomer, what the hell did you say to that Biers woman! I hope you can sweet talk those journalists you've gotten to know back into making Colonial Day a success, not fuel for the scandal sheets."

I can't help with the check.

However, we know Boomer now has a posse of yellow (and probably purple) cards in her hand and needs to discard anyway, so provided she really is on our side *big smile* I am sure she'll be able to contribute mightily on the check.

And I think other people have yellow and purple to help round out possibilities. 10 is not too hard to beat.

BTW: Today is about to explode into a mess of insanity. I am probably not going to be able to post again till tomorrow, so carry on. I've got no further COs since I can't help with the check.

I am indeed in a position to help make Colonial Day a success. I know! We could make it fancy dress! Oh, but there probably aren't that many fancy dresses left in the fleet. Maybe we could have a scavenger hunt! Teams could get points for finding different objects, like some Chamalla, or a Cylon, or Admiral Tigh's wife! For entertainment, do you think we can book the Aerelon Bluegrass Jug Band? Did they survive the attack? Last year they had mimes, they creeped me out. I think they were Cylons, they all looked the same to me anyway.

The check itself isn't difficult, but I think there's a pretty good chance that Destiny will wind up doubly negative (about 40%). Unless it's two bad 5s or something, though, I reckon we can do this. Ok.

I choose the skill check.
I convene an Investigative Committee-3.
Pass on further interrupts.

That just leaves an SR as a possible interrupt (which probably isn't worth it here). I think Chief Tyrol's the only other person who's drawn Blue, so once he plays or passes on an SR, we can start the check.

Colonial Day is a fine idea. I will round up all the jugglers I can find among the civilian ships.

iow I can help a little.

COs insent.

I'm off. No library tomorrow although I might be at my folks' house. Otherwise I'll be back around noon on Saturday.

BSG

Checking in from work here, so without cheat sheet in front of me. I will do the open face playing when I get home, and can cross things off that are played, but want to try and keep things rolling if we can. Plus, we are waiting to see if Chief wants to/can play the blue interrupt.

Zarek: CO's received
Helo: CO's received
Tigh: CO's received
Chief: CO's received
Apollo:CO's received
Boomer:

If you are waiting to see what is previously played before making your choice, your CO's can outline that. "If I see a total of +4 by my turn I play the orange 7 card. If it's between +1 to +3, I play the Orange 7 AND orange 3. If by my turn it's below +1, or anyone spikes the deck , play all my Orange cards and pray the Gods of Kobol will help us"

eta: formatting!

eta v2: Apollo CO's!

First, Chief passed on skill check. Next, here we go with the skill check. First, we have Boomer discard the Y3, which makes everything open to the public. Next is the Destiny deck, and then the pile of CO's. Away we go:

10 YP
Destiny Deck: G1, R5 (ouch! -6 so far)
Zarek: Y1 (-5)
Helo: P1 (-4)
Tigh: no cards (-4)
Chief: (No CO's, sorry, I thought I had some. Kalshane, if you sent, can you resend, if not sent, please send the first time.)
Apollo: Excellent CO's in hand
Boomer: (waiting to see how it all plays out to see what to play)

BSG

That's a very painful Destiny. Chief, Apollo, I believe we can still pass this, if you can each help get us part of the way.

BSG

I only have one card that can help. I play Y4. I hope our pilots can cover the rest.

BSG

I can get us part of the way. Can Boomer get us part of the way?
