I can help a lot with the check, though I don't have an IC to contribute. The Cylons will certainly make the check tougher with 3 colors to choose from. However, Boomer seemed very excited about the idea of lowering morale and mentioned that a lot of the Super Crisises target it. While having a morale of 6 is probably safe, I have to worry about conceding too many resources.
Though if people really don't think we can even hit the 9 (and if it's going to be a shot in the dark without an IC) then I say we save our cards for the next crisis.

I don't think Boomer said that, but it's not exactly true. Morale is on 2 of the 5 Super Crisis cards (-1 on one, -2 on another). Assuming these were drawn, only one could potentially be played in the upcoming round as Apollo has not even revealed yet. Also, about 1/4 of the quorum cards allow us to try to increase morale, so it's likely we could address the loss in this round.
Morale is on a bunch of regular crisis cards, but again, I think at this point I'd rather save cards for scouting that deck and the toaster double play coming up. I could use an IC, but then I wouldn't really be able to help with the check. Plus, I'd rather save the IC for a more dire crisis, especially if a super crisis card does get played imminently.
Remember, one reason we have had so many open checks is because El Toaster and I got lucky with the press room. We actually won't be drawing much yellow in the future.

Small correction: only one Super Crisis card can cost Morale (Bomb on Colonial One).
BSG
Believe me, I was not doing that from memory. Fleet Mobilization also costs Morale.
BSG
Huh. I hadn't noticed that before. Cool, there are two Super Crises we can use to hurt your Morale.
Carry on.
BSG
Cool, I guess we can now assume that's not the SCC that you drew.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday while it lasted.
BSG
Helo is correct. Sorry Boomer.
So? Is that a pass on all interrupts? Do we want to start the card count for the check?
eta: x-posty while I had to deal with explodey dishwasher
BSG
yes, I think we all passed
BSG
Omnis, I don't think we have yet decided whether or not we are going to intentionally fail, which would affect whether I play one or not.
I have to go off and tackle more of
War and Peace
(although maybe I should be reading
Sun Tzu's The Art of War
instead), so I'll send COs.
BSG
et-change - never mind. OK, we still have some hesitation.
