Since you can only reroll on your turn, taking advantage of that makes a lot of sense.
I'd say that scouting the crisis deck would be more immediately useful than scouting the destination deck. We need to know what's ahead of us in terms of crises, since we WON'T even be capable of jumping again for at LEAST 3 turns (and that's hoping the next three crises have jump icons) let alone be able to jump without risk of population loss.
Scouting destination will eventually be useful, but moreso when we're further up the jump track.
And indeed, by scouting the crisis deck, you will be able to see if there are jump icons on the crisis cards you scout.
Moving to the press room--is it worth the card loss to get there? Since Boomer's not there to be drawing Yellow, I can see why you might want to take her place.
I have pretty sucky cards at the moment.

"You know, people who are innocent don't spend so much time yapping on about how innocent they are. You're in the brig for a reason, Cylon."
Hee. There is probably no faster way to look suspicious than to talk too much, especially about one's loyalties. Unfortunately, as is no doubt painfully apparent, I am simply unable to shut up about anything.
While I think of it too, Admiral, your choice of Destination went a long way to make me feel better about your loyalties, pre-Sleeper at least. If you can confirm it was the one left by the President, he'd be looking pretty good too.

Sorry for the delay in sending Helo's cards. I was running late for work this morning, and ran out of time with the sleeper phase and all. Helo has his card draw now.
Just when the game was getting a little dull and slow, now things will start to spice up!

Am I allowed to say whether I picked the top card or not? I am happy to say, but I don't know if it's kosher.
Omnis! Funny, in the version IRL I've been practicing on my bass guitar, we've been doing c#m b a, but maybe that's the difference between Bob and Bear.

I believe so, the secrecy rules don't say anything directly against it. For me the main argument is that President Zarek can certainly accuse you of not choosing the plum destination he left; it just wouldn't be fair if you couldn't return the favour. (Or, of course, it could be hairpats and monkey grooming all round.) Still, no harm in waiting for the moderator to say if he has a problem with it.
BSG
Since Omnis made the veiled "Prisoner" joke then I will figure that it's okay to say: yes, I picked the card Zarek left on top.

Awwwwwwesome. Look at that, Tom Zarek and Saul Tigh cooperating in a big ol' cooperative love-fest. Who'd have thought we'd see the day? It's heart-warming, is what it is.

Suspicious is what it is, but we'll see how long it lasts.
In the meantime, I will discard an
