You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And I know of few of my type who have now been DEEstroyed.

I prefer the term "DEEconstructed".

I wouldn't worry though, I'm sure they'll soon be making a reappearance in the Resurrection Ship's DEElivery Room.

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

Admiral Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I think it's Ellen's choice since she XOed me. I could help a lot with the skill check but then I'd be out of useful cards. I don't think it would be the end of the world if we chose the skill check and purposefully tanked it.

Apologies, that is correct. Honestly, what's the point of being Pradmiral if other people are going to make the decisions?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

I can't help at all with the skill check.

I'd hate to intentionally tank it, -2 morale is pretty steep.

That said, if we do decide to tank it, it would be an excellent time to clear our hands of Treachery cards.

Well, we definitely can't afford the risk to population. We don't gain anything at this stage of the game on the skill check pass, but yeah, -2 morale is steep. I could only help a little with the check.

it would be an excellent time to clear our hands of Treachery cards.

Would that work? Wouldn't we trigger some of the negative effects of the Treachery cards? I suspect I still insufficiently understand them.

The negative effects of Treachery cards are only triggered if the skill check has been made Reckless by playing one of the new interrupts. If the check is not Reckless, then you can add all the Treachery you want without triggering their effects (of course, it makes it fairly likely you'll fail the check).

BSG

Oh, okay. I choose the Skill Check. I can choose. I make choices.

But yeah, we still need to decide if we're tanking or not.

Your decisions may well depend on the tanking discussion, but whenever you can, send me COs on interrupts (and your play into the check).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Bah. We should be so lucky to be worrying about Morale dropping.

So you're saying tank? I'm guess I'm good with that.
