This is a rough time to be losing cards but at this point anyone could be a cylon.
And if Apollo is a Cylon and we execute him, hey, good for us!
Giving up the Presidency to a Cylon is too risky this early. I don't want the Quorum falling into Cylon hands.
Pretty much any choice I make is going to have a long-lasting effect on the entire game. The discard is the safest, but, if Apollo honestly wants to have gender reassignment surgery, this would be a hilariously perfect opportunity.
BSG (Dee)
Dee? You got any political aspirations?
If called I would serve, sure. But Tory has no reason to trust any of us at this point, except maybe Apollo (who could have wiped out all the raiders as a ruse, I suppose. That's happened before).
So it's (a) both of you ditch all but one of your cards or (b) Apollo out the airlock? Tory gets her full draw after Cally's turn, but Apollo has a whole round to wait.
If Apollo is a cylon, then clearly executing him is the right choice. And if he's human and comes back as Starbuck, that would be funny. OTOH, he's my love interest in his donut-rich phase, I'd hate to miss out on that.

(who could have wiped out all the raiders as a ruse, I suppose. That's happened before).
It's a great way to inspire trust! IT JUST WORKED ON ME, FOR INSTANCE.
If we do lose Morale because of Apollo's execution, I can always attempt to bring it back with a marvelous eulogy.
(BSG)
'because it would be funny' is imo the best reason to stage an execution.
BSG (Tory)
Damn, I should have chosen Starbuck and we'd have an all female crew!
Hey, the Airlock is right there.
Really, it's almost too perfect. I hope Liese is down.
Also, just for the record, I do think it would be hilarious to replace Apollo with Starbuck, but doing that would leave me as the only person who draws Yellow. We'd get another person to draw Blue (optionally), though. Oh, wait, Cally also draws Yellow, and Apollo's Yellow is optional anyway. HILARITY.
I think they're all Cylons.
/unhelpful kibbitzing.
BSG (Apollo the shortlived, may I RIP)
Hahaha, yes I'm totally down. It may not be wise gameplay, but it's awesome. Hilarity is ALWAYS the best reason for mindless violence.
I am human, though, just so you know.
BSG (Tory the Executioner)
I choose Option 1 and choose to execute Apollo.
Apollo, we hardly knew ye. Thanks for taking out those raiders, but we've decided we're all allergic to testosterone, and by presidential decree, this mission is chicks only.
BSG (Helena)
I'm always in favor of a good execution.
BSG (Tory the Executioner)
YOU WOULD BE. Bet you'd like to execute entire civilian ships by leaving them behind, too.
