Aww!
Well, I thought that was how it was going to end up, one way or another. Well played, robotic overlords!
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Congrats, toasters! I'm kind of pleased that we managed to doom humanity on our own big gamble there at the end.
I generally like the extra Pegasus stuff, but, man that is a lot of possibilities to try to keep in mind at any given time.

I think Dee did most of the work on this one, and I'm curious whether she was a Sleeper or a Cylon from the start, like I was.
I gave you Scar and then I blew him up. I still feel bad about that. Poor Scar.

Right? Go out on your own terms, right?

Something like that.
That was some pretty smooth fifth-column double-agent stuff, P-C. If I hadn't seen your loyalty card I wouldn't have suspected you at all.

And if you hadn't played that damn Preventative Policy, you may not have been willing to tank the check to look!
(But it's funny that you didn't suspect me because I thought I was acting crazy suspicious. I was trying to figure out if I had a Cylon partner and the only person who seemed suspicious was ME. Like that time I deliberately went out against Scar in an attempt to FAIL and...failed at failing, rather than XOing Starbuck.)
I don't think I got to a spike a single check while I was hidden. So annoying, you humans and your ICs. And then I accidentally let myself get too many cards and had to discard the Treachery I wanted to keep. I had to pretend to be a good human because I hardly had any good chances to do any real sabotage without getting caught!

ICs are really powerful. I was annoyed that I finally drew an IC after two games worth of drawing that color but never seeing that card, only to have it be the last draw of the game!
I did suspect you, P-C!
And then at the next level, I suspected Dee and Gaeta! I love the suspicion phase. It's such an interesting element to the game.

That was very fun and exciting to follow (as usual!)

I suspected everyone at the Sleeper phase. I actually did roll a die to put Dee in the Brig because there was nothing to go on at that point and everyone seemed a little squirrelly for one reason or another.
Eta: I'm pretty sure the decisions I made by random means tended to work out better than the ones I really thought about and tried to reason through.

Our wings are not tired

I wasn't a Cylon until after the sleeper phase and was happy I got to spike one check with a treachery card. I'm quite thrilled that I was able to get sprung from the brig and then go turncoat on you all. It still came right down to the last possible moment which I think speaks well for game balance.
