I now have orders from everyone. Here's how it went down:
Destiny:
2 cards
Tory:
1 card
Apollo:
2 cards
Kat:
2 cards
Cally:
1 card
Tigh:
1 card
Cards played:
Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Scout for Fuel 6
God's Plan 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Best of the Best 6
Repair 2
Tally: 16 - 11 = 5. Fail.
Tigh's At Any Cost turns the single Treachery card positive; alas, the check still falls short by 2. No one has a DE to play; Tigh remains brigged.
That concludes Tigh's turn. I have COs from Tory. She draws Treachery and Yellow, and then, well, I should quote this:
"And oh, you know, now that I think about it, I would like to
activate the awesome lone Centurion to end humanity. Muwhahaha!
I put the laugh in bold too, because that's an order."
The Centurion reaches the end of the Boarding Party track, and is instantly declared king of Galactica! I'm sorry, it's military protocol, these things are very strict.
Cylons Win!

High fives shiny metal brethren.

That was a good game. I tried to activate an unmanned viper to crash into the armoury just now but BT said it was no-go.
BSG
Hee. That
was
a good game. Having two cylons from the outset is brutal!

That was a good. I tried to activate an unmanned viper to crash into the armoury just now but BT said it was no-go.
It's true, Kat could've played a Protect the Fleet-0 along wih some extra Piloting; it would've guaranteed the check failed, but given Tigh one RSV activation. Even better, if he launched one, Apollo could've commandeered it and got a bonus action. Alas, it would've taken two actions to get him back to the Armoury and shooting at the Centurion. A real shame, because that save would be
AWSESOME!
and thus my typo was forever immortalized.
Thanks for GMing, BillyTea.
I remember at one point thinking that knowing who the cylons were so early really gave us humans an advantage.

On the other hand,
having
Cylons so early really hurt you.
Game 2 also had 2 Cylons from the start (Apollo and the Chief). They both outed themselves spiking Detector Sabotage, so no one could check their Cylon cards. Not that anyone needed to after that. The Cylons still won (revealed Chief kept pulling Current Player's Choice crises, finally killed them on Fuel).
You might remember that one, Laga, being as how you were the one playing the Chief.
BSG
That was a fun game. I'm glad we still won because I screwed up a bunch of stuff major! Resulting in you being confused, thinking I was being devious, but I was just being obtuse! i.e., I figured out definitively who the other Cylon was *after* I'd initiated Cally's brig check but *before* I'd played into it. Oopsies!
We basically did the same thing here, spiking the same check. I guess it's a classic Cylon thing, thinking that it was our first solid opportunity to spike, so we both took it.
And yeah, thanks for GMing, bt, and thanks for being formidable foes, humans! And whoo, partner in toasterhood!
