Take all the time you need, as I am currently obsessing over the Super Crisis outside my window (apparently 1 officer down as well as 1 civvie).
Wow, I hope everything's okay, Megan. I assume it is since you've been posting, but still.
(Tangentially, I work near Johns Hopkins Hospital and was watching the police cordon everything off with the shooting last week--really scary stuff.)
BSG
.... I wish I could help, guys. Good luck.
BSG
Ah. Didn't realize Cylon-played crisis cards don't have a jump prep step. That's annoying.
I hate to make this check blind, but I think we're better served to use the value of the card.
I pass on interrupts.
BSG
Excellent. We have passes on interrupts. Destiny has two cards into the check. Now onto the players. I have CO's for Boomer and Zarek.

Boomer: 1 card
Zarek:3 cards

Apollo:
That brings up Helo. What says you?
BSG
Sweet. That was fast.
11 YPB
Destiny Deck: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Zarek:3 cards
Helo: 2 cards
Tigh: no cards
Chief:
Apollo:
Since Tigh has nothing to play, I will put him down as no cards in check. That moves us to Chief. What say you?
BSG
Oooh! We might get this check done tonight! Sweet!
11 YPB
Destiny Deck: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Zarek:3 cards
Helo: 2 cards
Tigh: no cards
Chief: 5 cards
Apollo:
That leaves the toaster formally known as Apollo. What say you thing?
BSG
I play one card into the check.
I also edited my post from earlier to remove the card information.
BSG
Thanks ND!
Look at this, a skill check done in one day! Woot! Here is what we have:
11 YPB
Destiny Deck: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Zarek:3 cards
Helo: 2 cards
Tigh: no cards
Chief: 5 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Now let's see what was played:
YELLOW:
2,1,1,1,4 (+9)
Green: 4 (-4)
PURPLE:
1,1,2,2 (+6)
Red: 2,1 (-3)
BLUE:
1,1 (+2)
Running Total: 10 out of 11
FAIL
Oh man! What drama. So close! This might have been the first skill check that wasn't tanked, that humans did on the blind. And it was missed by ONE point! Soooo clo...
What? Hold one. We have some late breaking news. Chief plays a G3, Declare Emergency! I think the first of the game! And that lowers the total needed to 9! Which gives us a skill check of 10 out of 9! A PASS!
Holy Cow! What drama!! What a check! And that means a CYLON has helped advance the Jump Track! Who would have thought?! This is truly amazing.

That brings us to Boomer. Please let me know what 2 cards you would like to draw.
BSG
Politics and Piloting, me old China. And then I'll draw two Crisis cards from Caprica as well.
Are you saying Cylons are Cockney?
