Cripes. Too bad no one threw in Red Tape.
Well, my friends, we have our first Cylon spike. Three negative cards. Two could come from Destiny, but I am not discounting the possibility that two Cylons spiked this check, as it was the first good opportunity in a long time. Spikes were Yellow and Blue. This means Anders and Helo are clear (and I trust Helo because of the DE anyway). Funnily enough, it seems that given the number of cards he played, I could make a baseful accusation against our dear President, but it could just as well be Chief and/or Gaeta. Wait, what am I saying, Zarek stood to lose all his cards on this check. It's Chief and/or Gaeta.
I'm still mulling over what to do on my turn. I didn't draw the right cards, but I have a full hand. If I draw a card and get a Crisis that doesn't let me play a card into a check, I'll have to discard randomly, and I could lose a good card.

Not that I suspect anyone at this point, but knowing what a tricksy cylon P-C has been in the past, I feel I should point out that Apollo can draw yellow. But I can't recall if he has so far.
(I mean, of course I suspect
someone
just no one in particular at this point.)
BSG
I have, but you may have noticed I've been playing a lot of ICs. I don't know whether saying whether or not I had Yellow in my hand would violate secrecy rules, but note that I chose to draw 2 Yellow.
(I'm actually excited to finally be playing a game where I'm HUMAN THE WHOLE TIME.)
BSG
yes, ICs rule. And I knew I could go back and check but I just woke up and am lazy.
Yes there have been a lot of ICs played, but we just went through the sleeper phase so any behavior prior to that doesn't really mean much.
BSG
Let the accusations begin!
(y'all now it's all in fun, right?)

Anders has drawn Blue from the Research Lab, fwtw.
I've played all my Blue, as anyone who was tracking closely would have realized (since I never have very many cards, it'd be pretty easy to verify).

I wasn't using that as an example of my behavior; I was using that to justify not playing Yellow because even if I had drawn Yellow, I had also been playing it.
Anders has drawn Blue from the Research Lab, fwtw.
Oh shiiiit, you're right. Sorry, Anders, you're back on the list.
BSG
At least your admiral is in the clear.
BSG
That's just what you want us to think! Maybe that last minute Emergency Declaring swoop was a ruse!
Probably not, but, hey, could happen.
