omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (I swear, I didn't intend this to be my thread)

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

Well I clearly was spooked. I mean. She was bossing everyone around, and I had a gut feeling. Am I an idiot, well yes, a blubbering horny dog. I act impulsively.

Publish? Um. Well. I'd recommend *NOT* giving her Presidency, that's for sure.

(May the Gods of Kobol keep me from being executed!!)

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

BSG

Meanwhile, Baltar has opted to draw Purple for his Delusional Intuition.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Here's a whackadoo technical question. Suppose Baltar doesn't actually come out and explicitly tell us the result of his Cylon Detector, and we do execute him, and he turns out to be human and omnis gets a new character. Can the new character reveal what Baltar knew?

Yes. Apparently the replacement character inherits his notes or something.

Um. I don't like the sound of that. Was I too subtle when I said "Don't make her President"???

Interesting. Well, there's no need to execute Baltar out of scientific curiosity on that point, anyway.

Eta: You were a little cryptic, Dr. Gaius "Subtlety" Baltar. But I wasn't advocating anything, just curious about the hypothetical.

Well I'm happy to have an advocate who supports scientific curiosity. As long as it doesn't result in my execution.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I would like to break the Pradmiralship up mainly because I'm just not comfortable putting that much power into one set of hands. With that much control in the hands of a Cylon it would make sense to play it favorably for quite a few rounds, even help the humans, so that when it really counts you can pull the rug completely out from under them.

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

BSG (Dee-fenestrated)

Baltar, if you're accusing me of being a Cylon (why else would you recommend against a human being given the Presidency), then frak you, you're a Cylon, and let's execute you. I have done nothing suspicious this entire game, whereas you've been shifty and combative the whole time rather than help us work as a team. Thanks for not screwing us over that one time, but your time is up.

If you're saying I'm human but would make a terrible President, I don't even know, just be direct for once. I have no desire to be Pradmiral anyway, so I don't know why you brought it up.

Yup, saw that coming. Why did I use my OPG?????

The Pradmiralship is split up. Dee is Admiral. So, leave Tigh as President. I hear you, there is notion that someone could do good to cover tracks. But my gut is saying Tigh is simply doing good for good sake.
