You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Tigh)

I hate to execute Baltar just because he's a poor public speaker. What am I saying, I would love to execute Baltar! I'm also comfortable with giving Roslin back the presidency. This would be so much easier if I knew who the cylon(s) were.

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

It's Baltar, and I think he changed at Sleeper phase. He had no problem announcing Starbuck's humanity when he checked her pre-Sleeper, and suddenly he's all conflicted about giving a straight answer (ANY answer) now? Whatever.

BSG (Tigh and Mighty)

I hate to pass up an opportunity for a speedy execution only to have Baltar screw us over later.

And if it turns out we airlocked a human, we'll know Dee is our cylon.

It is tidy that way. And we haven't executed anyone all game!

BSG (Dee)

I still kind of want Baltar to directly accuse me of being a Cylon so I can be entirely sure he's not just crazy and playing mindgames with Team Human.

BSG (Tigh)

I know in past games I have said something that didn't come out right, and everyone thought I was a cylon, just because I didn't express myself well.

An execution is pretty serious. I don't mind waiting for the rest of the crew to weigh in and Baltar to appeal.

Exactly. I'm still not 100% clear he's accusing me, and I want to be before we shove him out the airlock. Obviously, even if he says I'm human, that doesn't entirely clear him, but humans don't accuse each other of being Cylons. There's no good reason.

Also, his reasons for checking me were really weird and left out the part where he should have been checking me because I'm the Admiral now (no worries, Admiral is still human, assuming Tigh is, and I have no reason to believe he isn't). But that could be part of his poor public speaking ability, and the fact that basically every game I am accused of being a Cylon because I always have suggestions for what people should do.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

If Baltar is human, how badly will the loss of Morale effect us?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

C'mon you guys, all waffling over morality and shit. This was such a great crisis last game! And you executed me, and that worked out great! For, uh, me.

BSG (Starbuck)

Cally, we'd go from having 5 Morale to 4. If it gets to 2 or less, Dee dies, and if it gets to 0, humans lose and the game is over. So, this particular loss of Morale might not matter at all or it could be the beginning of DOOOOOOOOM. You know, like every decision in this game ever.

Re: Baltar's humanity - I would like an explanation as to why he didn't choose to shoot at any of these cylon ships on his turn. Or even move to anywhere that would let him shoot cylons later. That's kinda weird, right? What was going on there, Baltar?
