Hee. That was a good game. Having two cylons from the outset is brutal!

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

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!

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

Tricksy! If futile.

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.

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!

I do remember that game I was Chief. I was sooo disappointed to be a cylon. Now I keep thinking it would be fun and I've been human the last few games.
Poor P-C getting wasted twice. But oh the excitement. This might be my favorite game we've played so far and my team lost.

I know! And there finally were deaths! Admittedly one of them was mine, but still, deaths!

Putting my oar in to say I'd be interested in playing next time. I don't have the physical game, however.
