Well that looks like it was spiked.

Frak. Well, no one has Treachery, so it has to be the DE or EM. And it's not the EM because no one has Piloting. So it's the DE. And I think we all draw Green, so that's not very helpful. Wait, the only person who is clear is Starbuck, because she only had two cards, and she played her Green card in the last check. Starbuck did not spike it. Also, Dee did not spike it because she has all Purple. That leaves you, me, and Cally. And since it's not me, it's either you or Cally. And I wouldn't think a Cylon would play Major Victory because no one would know she WASN'T doing it, so that leaves...you. Oh, this isn't working out so well with the logic.

Godsdamn those instincts. Could have gone either way; we got positive Destiny on the last check, after all.

Starbuck, if you want to try again, I can help a little, but we may have to wait for a bit to fill up our cards at this point. And you can't do anything else. So...godsdamn those instincts.

BSG (Cally)

Yeah I tossed in my big guns on that one. You're gonna have to cool your heels a bit longer, I'm afraid.

In a way it's relief to know we have for sure at least one cylon.

BSG

Well, crap. I hate to say so, but it was that Trust Instincts that really screwed us and anyone could have played that.

BSG (Foster the People)

Trust Instincts is a neutral card. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. In this case, it didn't, BUT it saved us from getting that -9 on a check with actual fail consequences. As we learned last game, sometimes people play TI with the best of intentions, and it doesn't work out.

The real spike is the DE-3. Only Cally, Cain, or I could have played it. I did not, and I have my guess as to what Cally played based on her comment. Which, again, leaves Cain, who played 2 cards, one of which could have been positive to mask a spike. Still could be Cally, but I'm leaning more toward Cain at this point.

BSG (Helena)

Well I can say with certainty that it is not me. Feel free to airlock me if you think otherwise. Given that, it means that it's either you or Cally.

BSG (Tory)

Guess that means it's Cally! Cally, shoot yourself in the face, please.

BSG (Cain in the ass)

We can airlock her, or throw her in the brig. I, of course, lean towards the airlock.

BSG

It's probably a good time to remind people about the secrecy rules. (There've been no breaches, but while everyone's discussing the skill check, it's a good moment.) Players may not under any circumstances state what they played into a check. (Including, in this case, the Trust Instincts.) This includes commenting on the colour. You may, however, state that you are playing high or low into a check (and of course you can choose to lie or tell the truth as you see fit).

However, I would ask that you be more circumspect on commenting on your play after the fact, when all cards are visible. If (say) there's only one high card in the check, and a player claims to have played high, they're effectively identifying their play (or at least what they claim is their play) and that's a no-no. So, y'know, be careful.

Any questions or doubts, you can check with me.

BSG

Guess that means it's Cally! Cally, shoot yourself in the face, please.

Alas, Cally's OPG specifies that she can shoot another character, and so she cannot off herself. (In the game in which I played Cally, I was greatly disappointed to learn this, as I had constructed an elaborate plan that hinged on shooting myself in the face (IN THE FACE!).

BSG (Your Faithful President)

Cool it, Admiral Airlock, let's not jump the gun. Jury's still out on both of you, as far as I'm concerned.
