I enjoyed the added variety but I'm glad you left some Pegasus elements out to keep it simpler. I'm glad I got to stay human the whole way through. I'd be interested to see what it's like to play as a cylon.

It's VERY STRESSFUL. I was so worried about being found out all the time.
BSG
I felt worn down to the raggedy end there those last two turns.
Yeah, that was harsh. Four attack cards, including a Super Crisis, will do damage. I thought you were especially unlucky on Roslin's last turn, where she buried yet another attack card but at the cost of damaging two vipers.
It is to the Cylons' credit; they worked to get you in that position. Still, the Crisis Deck was more than willing to go along with them.

Gotta say, I will find it a strong temptation in any future games just to make you a Cylon from the start again, no matter what the loyalty cards say. That was too much fun to watch. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you actually did get to spike any skill checks until after you revealed.)

Dude, my last turn totally crushed my spirit. 4 quorum cards that were of no use whatsoever and two crises to choose from that were both terrible. If we were playing at an actual table I would have had to go lie down until after Starbuck's turn.
But at least I got to use my OPG, as disappointing as it turned out.

I felt so bad for you about that. You could at least expect to get an Inspirational Speech, at the very least! (It sucks having to choose between to awful cards too, though your ability still served the humans well. Without it, you would simply have had to face both awful crises, one after another.)
I think Roslin's OPG is one of the weaker ones in the game, in part due to the random nature of the draw. Maybe you get something useful, maybe not. Doesn't really compare to Boomer's or Tigh's. (Her regular ability is probably the best in the game, though, so it evens out.)
BSG
Oh, yeah, that's a very nice regular ability. She'd be really fun to play as a Cylon, I bet.

Laura ROSLON is one of the most successful Cylon characters. The Visions are a powerful tool, and she starts as President! What's not to love?

Well, I hope I will make a fun human too. In those cases, I will be yelling about who I think the Cylons are.

Nope! First, it seemed too early, then they were playing ICs, and then Roslin fingered me, and then whenever I wanted to spike a check, there were too many people not playing cards or the color I would use to spike wasn't something Roslin drew, and basically there was never a good opportunity to do it without getting caught very quickly. I may have been overestimating the suspicion and deduction from Team Human, though.

...Ok, that would be fun too. You are once again Schrödinger's Cow.
