I guess I`m just feeling suspicious about tanking right at sleeper stage, especially when there is such potential for bigtime damage.

It's Battlestar Awesome, is what it is! Seriously, this is IMO the best part of the game, when the paranoia is at its peak and the every move, comment and suggestion gets put under the microscope.

I do think we should tank. Destiny's got a 1 in 3 chance of being double negative, it'll probably cost at least 5 cards' worth to be fairly confident of passing. Purple is positive for every Super Crisis Check. If Starbuck has Inbound Nukes and we fail, we lose Fuel. If she has Bomb on C1 and we fail, not only does Morale fall but we lose Colonial One. No more Press Room, no more President's Office, and if Baltar's the Toaster, we're pretty screwed trying to get the Presidency off him.

Other checks for which we'll need Purple and Red:

Scouting for Water
Scouting for Fuel
Legendary Discovery

As it currently stands, at the start of Starbuck's turn, the Human:Cylon card balance could be anywhere from 16:5 to 10:11, depending on who's the other Toaster. We're just not well provisioned right now. We are going to lose skill checks. The only question is, will they be the ones we choose to tank, or ones where we try to pass, spend up and still fall short.

So that's why I think we should tank this one. Reasons why you shouldn't listen to me:

• I'm not offering to play anything for this check anyway.
• This is exactly what I'd be arguing if I were a Cylon.

But hey. On the plus side, if we do fail this, at least you'll find out for sure where my loyalties lie.

(Correction: the check is 6PR, not 6YP.)

Okay, tanking it is, but don`t say I didn`t have misgivings about this! Cause I did. I am misgiving all over the place!
 
I play no cards. And then I stomp around FTL a little sulkily.

BSG

Thanks, billytea.

You know, that didn't seem right. I should have checked against the actual deck. This is the only fault of the spreadsheet, no skill check colors.

Given that I sent out the wrong info, Starbuck (and Chief), do you want to change your COs?

BSG

6 PR? My analysis was all based on YP!

But my conclusion given the new data is the same. Carry on.

BSG

6 PR? My analysis was all based on YP!

Heh. Yeah, that'd be a little different. Yellow is negative for all super crises, and we have more of it anyway.

BSG
 
Yeah, I can help Even Less with the correct colors. But I dunno what everybody else can do. Everybody else who is deeply suspicious looking!

BSG

Yeah, I'm suddenly not nearly as helpful with the correct colors on the board.

BSG

Sorry guys!

Is this where I reveal that some of my speediness is due to the fact that I was lucky enough to have kept all of Omnis's emails from the last game? So I usually just have to search for the card I want and cut and paste and then double check. But we didn't have this crisis last time and I had to do all the work myself!
