Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Should I play my IC or not? Zarek gets last play on this check, so he will know whether or not he can top the Cylons. Also knowing what Destiny is throwing at us may be helpful.

I was going to say no, but I suppose it would be nice to know if we don't have a chance in hell.

ETA: Note to our GM, if we are doing an open check, I retract my standing COs until we know what Destiny has in store.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It doesn't matter a huge amount whether or not I know what to play. I would say, play a Y3, save a 4 or 5.

The more I think about it, the more I think that we should play an IC. It won't necessarily help on the back end, but passing this is going to cost me and Tigh a lot of cards and I don't want to waste them if Destiny is against us from the start.

In that case, I will play a Y4: Investigative Comittee.

Well, that's helpful. I think we need to assume that the toasters can throw at least -6 into the mix, if not more.

I play R2, R4, P4

Tigh, we're fine if you put in at least 4.

Omnis, did you shuffle the Politics deck before Chief's last turn? I feel like we've already seen a few Y4s, but I can't recall when it was last shuffled.
