"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

I think I agree with that. The revealed Cylons are going to get cards either way, we just tossed our Treachery cards, and we just took a Morale hit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

I do love when the humans have to make a decision between "bad" and "slightly less bad." But which is which? YOUR PSYCHOLOGY IS AT WAR.

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

BSG

We need Tom Cruise to take care of this for us. He knows psychology.

Failing that, I can support Option 2. I can also support the Pradmiral flipping a coin. Yay for me not having to decide!

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

BSG

I'm heading out so I'll go ahead and Choose Option 2. May the gods be with us.

The gods will have to be, since Destiny won't be.

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

BSG

The old Destiny is discarded (here's what was in it):

Consolidate Power 1
Repair 1
At Any Cost 4
Maximum Firepower 5
Calculations 3
Broadcast Location 1

In rebuilding the Destiny Deck, the Treachery deck was exhausted. I've reshuffled the discards.

I'm sending out Roslin's cards now. Ex-President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Does the Destiny deck include discarded cards?

Does the Destiny deck include discarded cards?

The new Destiny Deck could include the discarded Treachery card from the old deck. The order of operations is:

1. Discard the old deck (they join the old discards)
2. Add the remaining Treachery deck to Destiny; come up 3 short
3. Reshuffle the Treachery discards
4. Add the remaining 3 cards into Treachery
5. Reshuffle the new Destiny cards

While I'm at it, administrative note: Roslin's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

OK, I will discard a Consolidate Power - 1 (Yellow) to move to FTL. And then I think it's time for my OPG. Come on Quorum, give me something good.
