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

I thought if I don't move, I get two actions.

Only if someone just gave you an XO.

Well, it's not ideal, but, I still want to check her papers.

Admiral Dualla's loyalty cards have been sent to the good Doctor for perusal. However, Baltar has come under some scrutiny of his own. Could the brilliant scientist be implicated in the Cylon attack? (Only the movie-length pilot knows for sure!) Baltar's crisis is:

The Circle
President's Choice

You may remember this crisis from such moments as turn 1 of last game. President Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Starbuck)

Well, none of the options are inherently hilarious this time, so I do not know even a little bit what to do.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Dee)

I think the obvious choice is to give Roslin back the Presidency. She's still in the Office, after all.

BSG (The Good Doctor)

Well crap and double crap.

First crap. Not sure what to say about Dee's papers. No matter what I say, given the suspicion of my extra card draw, nobody will believe me. So, if I say she's double human, will that imply she is Cylon? If I say she is half human, does that imply I am Cylon? Can I say nothing? What are the moral implications? If I say she is a Cylon, she will protest, if I say she human, she will say "I told you so". Either way, sharing only puts me in jeopardy. As mentioned, CRAP!

Second Crap. Um. Yeah, needless to say, I *really* hate the "or" in option 1. I will say, I do have a fair amount of cards, so I'd be fine with option 2. If you go with part one of option one, please, don't make another Pradmiral.

(um, I'm confused why you list what our morale is at, when there was no mention of morale in the card)

That's because if you are executed and turn out to be human, the fleet loses 1 Morale. (Of course, if you're executed and turn out to be a Cylon, they're ok with that.)

BSG (Good Doctor, part duex)

If I recall, Cally & Roslin where the only ones in round one to *not* be checked for cylon loyalty. Not saying they are, because I don't know. And haven't had any suspicions either way. Although ND in past games played his toasterhood rather close to vest. I hate to say it, but Tigh did do REAL well last turn. I doubt he's a toaster, based on that. I think he should stay President.

But hey, I'm just the guy with 3 loyalty cards, so... no clue if my words will be heard or not.

Either way, sharing only puts me in jeopardy.

Maybe you should have thought of that before using your OPG? Publish and be frakked, sir!

Or not. I'm not really seeing why you think you'll be MORE in jeopardy by standing mute.

Eta: Just for my own clarification, are you in favor of being executed, or losing cards?

Ah, ok. That's a Pegasus rule not familiar with. It's my first Rodeo with killing of characters. Thanks for clarification.
