Yeah, I don't want us to overshoot, either, but this is a pretty important check. But, and not to stir up the paranoia too early or anything, the odds are reasonable that someone is not on the up and up, and I really don't want to miss this one.

All true, and if we overshoot this one, I won't be too concerned. (Certainly possible, for instance Destiny could wind up doubly positive.)

So far Baltar and Helo have played into this check. Baltar has the best chances of being a Cylon, and if the Witch Hunt check was spiked, it was with Blue, which he has. However, all game long he's only drawn one card which could be negative for this, and if it's a 1-value it'd be positive anyway, so I feel pretty good about him here. Helo played two cards last check which had to be positive, and I think he's picked up a lot of Purple, so he could easily make a big positive contribution.

So from my end, the biggest risk of spiking is either Starbuck or you. (Not that I suspect either of you, of course.) I confess that's part of why I'd like to limit your contributions too. I'll limit mine for much the same reason.

If you're good to add something here, I'd feel ok with Starbuck passing. By my calculations, we should still probably be ok, or close to ok, even if someone did throw in a spike or two. (Effectively, I reckon we've probably reached pass level ok. A card from you and me is the insurance against someone spiking.)

I went through this whole big OOC assessment, but suffice it to say, "Aye, aye, Admiral." I'll do as you ask and amend my CO's in email. If Starbuck plays one, I'll abstain, and if she doesn't play, I'll play one. Then it'll be up to you, Admiral.

BSG

sorry I was afk so long. I pass.

BSG

Given a choice, I'd rather massively over-pass this one than fail it. Passing gets us out of this mess with minimal losses, whereas failing gets us stuck longer and wastes a bunch of a cards.

Sorry got distracted by a phone call.

BSG

Adama, since there are a bunch of interesting cards there, did you want to use your OPG to scoop them up?

Baltar, your cards are on the way.

BSG

There are indeed a bunch of interesting cards; but there'll be other bunches. I pass on using my OPG.
