I hate to take another morale hit, but we may want to tank this one. Otherwise we're spending cards to put someone in the brig so we can then spend cards to get them back out. (Unless we decide they're a Cylon and want to leave them there.)
I sadly don't have any "Get Out of Jail Free" cards, or whatever the Quorum equivalent is, at the moment.
BSG
Ack! I have the paranoia at this stage, but not the evidence. The only one who`s not played in favor of Team Human since the sleeper phase kicked in is Baltar but that`s only because he hasn`t had a chance to, and the other two of you could still have been playing it close to the chest.
And yet, can we afford yet another morale hit? We almost certainly have the cards to pass this if we want to, but do we want to? Could we come to informed choice as to who should be brigged at this point?
BSG
Well, Chief's gonna have to discard if he doesn't play into the check. So there's a couple of free cards. Is the brigging mandatory if we pass?
Eta: and maybe we'll learn something in the course of the check. Could happen.
BSG
We're not obliged to brig someone if we pass, this one's optional; we can pass it just to avoid the Morale loss. (There is a card where you have to brig someone if you fail.)
BSG
Oh, ok, that`s good. So, yeah, I have to discard anyway, and I can help a good bit on this check. So we should at least go for it with me.
No interrupts from me, though.
BSG
Well, I'll pass on interrupts, send in my COs and go to bed. After shooting everyone suspicious glances.
::glance; glance; glance::
BSG
Pass on interrupts.
I can help with this check. We're fortunate too that Starbuck's draw this turn happened to be the positive colurs for this check; though I'm sure she has something else to play.
I agree with the Chief, Baltar's the most suspicious right now, but not from actually doing anything to earn it. It's just that the rest of us have been playing human. His own turn could be informative.
local public radio had a piece this morning on games for the holidays. [link]
Anyone have Need for Speed Hot Pursuit? Sounds interesting.
