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.

Once again, science comes through on our side.

Really not liking this one. Not only the 3 resource hit (especially food) but both Cylons running up the tail end of the check. If you all can get us close or there, hopefully I can push it far enough beyond pass that the Cylons can't fail it for us.

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

Once again, science comes through on our side.

Your last two SRs swung a total difference of 18 points your way. That's less than a 1% chance of happening. Not to mention that it was under 50/50 whether you'd have an SR in the first place (given Destiny's contribution).

Good fortune tends to swing back and forth in a game like this, but I have to confess I'm pretty pissed off with the cards right now.

Well, we now need at least 14 for sure to pass.

Right now, I figure there are the following big yellows outstanding: Y3, Y4, Y5 (1 of each). For reds there are three R3 cards, R4, R5.

If the other humans can account for any of those, it would be good to know.

Prior to red being reshuffled on Apollo's turn, only two R3s were outstanding. And Apollo only drew 1 red from the reshuffled deck and Boomer 1 red. So, while it is possible that they each drew the two highest reds, it is unlikely.

But, we have to assume they could play at least 6 Y/R, meaning we need at least 20 for a good chance of passing, potentially up to 24 if the humans can't account for the outstanding Y/R.

Zarek can't help, and sadly my cards are as measly as Tigh's seem to be. I'd say that if Chief can't come up with at least half of what we need, we stand little chance of passing.

pobre sita. Little toaster is sad. Don't forget, you can't hear a cylon scream in space.

It would also be a violation of the secrecy rules.

Pbpbpbpbt. Did you hear that? I can use semaphore if you'd like.

Why? They wouldn't be playing them into the check. We've said before when we have an IC we can play.

Don't forget, we can only say "I can help a little" or "I can help a lot" or "I can't help at all" with the check. You can't say "Oh I have R5 and can kick ass on this check". Sorry. Secrecy and paranoia are parts 1 & 2 of this game.

That has 3 different values. It's a bit different than saying "I have the Y5", which is very specific.

Okay, so could they say if they have a IC or a Maximum Firepower for later use?
