You guys know I have two cards in my hand and what my colors are.
I can contribute in one way with a small-medium amount to the check, and in another way to make this easier for us. And I'd just as soon that if I play one, I play both cards since I'd discard it otherwise. I would prefer to try to pass but I understand we are cutting things close, and two cards can only go so far.
BSG
As much as it kills me, I don't think we can pass this.
BSG
I don't think we can either. I had been hoping destiny would be kinder, because we're not working with that many cards.
I play no cards into this check.
Look, as GM, I hate to do this. I've been trying to be loosey-goosey to keep things rolling and fun, but phrases like:
I can contribute in one way with a small-medium amount to the checkGoes against what I said a few posts ago:
So, as the GM for this game, I say, you can NOT give vague specifics. You can say polar opposites. "I can help a lot with this check" or "I can help a little with this check", or "I can't help with this check".
I say this not to be an asshole, but because it has come up repeatedly with this game. So PLEASE, for the love of dog, lets follow this rule. POLAR OPPOSITES or I CAN'T HELP. Those are the options. The oven is on warm, broil or off. The foot got a little wet from the puddle, the foot got soaked, or you avoided the puddle. You have a flashlight, you have a floodlight, you are blind. OK?
I'm not harping on anyone. Like I said, I am just as much at fault for letting this go on. But given this weekends final round of "according to the rules..." bs, and since it seems to rub people one way or another, it's my job as GM to step up and play Azdak. (only advantage is, he was bribed). That said, let's keep this shit moving.

Running Total: -8 out of 7
FAIL
That brings us to Chief. I can't recall if Chief said in the past if team human wants to fail, don't play anything. I'd rather error on the side of caution. Since everytime I try to write a note on the sheet to remind me of these things, it blocks some of the automation it does. Garrr.

I'm very sorry. The conversation got extremely confusing to follow (and I wasn't part of it) and I misunderstood what was deemed acceptable in the end.
I broke the rules of the game. Should I leave?
BSG
I certainly don't think so.
FWIW, you weren't giving any new info to me. Anyone even remotely following the game would know what you essentially had in your hand. And because he started the round with no cards, it's a no-brainer what colors Chief had. That's why I suspected we couldn't pass from the beginning (but I purposefully waited to mention it until after we knew what destiny was and the cylons played).
BSG
I regretfully play no cards.
The rules say you can say "medium" if you're playing more than 1 card. It's all very nit-picky.
BSG
While we're finishing off the check, Apollo, you could put in COs for your card draw. (So could I, come to think of it.)
BSG
Sure thing.
