Yeah, I was hoarding that one and periodically the preventative policies, which I did end up playing. So yeah, I was in the weird position of holding positive cards back.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Our wings are not tired
I couldn't get a lock on who the second Cylon was and alas it did end up being our undoing.
I don't think I've played a game where there was such a richness of cards the entire time. It didn't feel like we were ever really starved, and there were quite a few times when I had a lot of very high value cards in hand.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I played one just because I had too many cards and needed to get my hand down enough not to have to discard good cards. And I used it against Morale rather than Population, as you did, because I sure didn't want to protect Population!

When you had a chance to check a Loyalty card, I thought I was hosed, and then you were like, "It's definitely NOT Ellen," and I laughed my ass off. Your rationale was that I'd had chances to screw you over and hadn't taken them. Oh, it was just because they weren't chances to screw you over ENOUGH.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I had a lot of fun even though I felt likie I was unprepared for the endgame. After hearing everyone's summaries I think I have a better idea of how the humans could win.
Did we entice any observers into wishing to be players?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm in for the next game. New Caprica is still pretty mysterious to me, so I think I am for including it so I can maybe see what it's all about. And I can play whenever.

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

On this note, new players are always welcome. Owning the game is an advantage, but it's not necessary.
Of course, players from previous games are welcome to join in again too.

Yes, yes, but post in Press! People who aren't following Gaming don't know when we've finished up a round. (Yes, I know I could do it myself.)

Okay fine. How did I do?
Harumph.

I'd join up!
Actually, I think the announcement probably does have a better impact from a player. So thanks for that.
