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

BSG (Fiddle-Dee-Dee)

There, that's more like it!

A short time ago, a certain someone assured us that certain civilian ships were ok to sacrifice. And then when they were destroyed, and it was revealed they had resources, she says "oops, my mistake"

This is a misrepresentation. There were absolutely no decoys to use as a decoy, so I had to use one of the most expendable ships as a decoy to preserve the more precious ships, which, you will recall, were not destroyed, thanks to my informing Tigh which ships should be destroyed (i.e., NOT those with 2 Pop or 1 Pop/1 Resource). Losing 1 Pop in a civvie is nothing compared to letting MORE Raiders into the sector that had EVERYONE.

Now, I recently SUSPECTED out loud that Roslin MIGHT be a cylon because we hadn't checked her card first round. Did she point the finger back at me? No. She pointed out a strategy that also implicates herself.

Of course she didn't point the finger back at you. Because you're just SUSPECTING her. You, however, have looked at my Loyalty cards, which state that I am human, and are now LYING to everyone, so of course I'm calling a Cylon a Cylon. Come on now. There is a world of difference between accusing someone based on their actions and lying after having seen their Loyalty cards.

And now she is advocating leaving someone in the brig, someone who has PROVEN time and time again that he has the interest of the fleet at heart.

As I said, I have NOTHING against Tigh and saw it as a way to conserve cards (especially given that a Cylon could spike the check to keep him in there).

The fact that she was so bossy, which she was earlier when "oops, I made a mistake" had me VERY worried.

For frak's sake, I NEVER SAID THAT. I was completely and utterly open about my intentions at all times.

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

There were absolutely no decoys to use as a decoy

A reminder, secrecy rules prevent you from saying what may or may not be or have been on any of the ships.

My apologies, wasn't sure how far that went, especially since they don't have to believe me.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Heh. Well, you may have a clear idea of who needs shooting soon, Cally. Depending on how things go now.

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

BSG (Good Doctor)

Shooting is a bad way to go. Brig is a far better route. She can reveal on her turn, where as shooting will automatically put her in a resurrection ship, and her next turn can do damage. If we Brig her, it will limit what her out ability can do.

If you mean "clear" that you think I am the Cylon, again, brigging me would be better. If you shoot me, morale will drop. If I am lying, it will be a whole round before I can out myself. If you put me in the brig, I can do no harm. And a second round before I (if I were a Cylon) could do harm. That would give you time to clear the skies and get us to safety. (And by that logic, same with the current crisis card, which is so conveniently timed. I think we should drop cards. I will happily sacrifice cards to protect morale, and Tigh is in the Brig, so has limited play ability anyhow. It's the safest choice, for the good of the fleet)

In my defense, of course Dee is going to say I am lying, and that she is the human. but, she didn't see my cards, and I did see her cards. I also saw Starbucks card, and said she was human. What is the advantage for me to lie about our most productive human? Or lie about the "human" who has done the most damage? Dee must be brigged!!!

And for the record, I didn't say you said Tigh was Cylon, just that you want to keep a human in the brig! When we need all hands on deck. Stop trying to twist my words to make me look guilty when you are the Cylon here.

Thrive to spite them

BSG

Morale only drops if you turn out to be human. If you're a skin job you're dead, can't cause problems, and we don't lose morale.

Not saying you are, just saying killing a Cylon won't hurt morale.

You do understand that nothing in this Crisis will involve Brigging me, right? Either Tigh gives the Presidency to someone else, we kill you, or there's a lot of cards gone. If I were a Cylon, I could reveal on my turn.

If we Brig her, it will limit what her out ability can do.

But then I would still get to keep all my cards and draw a Super Crisis. It's much better to kill a known Cylon than Brig them.

I also saw Starbucks card, and said she was human.

Yes, immediately. Whereas with me, you had to hem and haw because you weren't sure whether to tell the truth and be safe or lie and try to get me killed. Which is why I think you turned metal at Sleeper Phase.

And for the record, I didn't say you said Tigh was Cylon, just that you want to keep a human in the brig! When we need all hands on deck. Stop trying to twist my words to make me look guilty when you are the Cylon here.

Ha ha ha, I never said you said I said Tigh was a Cylon, so I don't even know what you are even going on about. You are making no sense at all, I swear. I can't even argue against this nonsense.

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

Hmm... Roslin hasn't had a chance to weigh in. Should I wait for her vote or go ahead and airlock the goofy doctor now?

Ok, sorry, first time with killing, still getting used to pros/cons of brig vs kill. See what happens when you ignore buffistas for too long.

BSG (Goofy but Human Doctor)

I know the card doesn't allow for brig/kill of Dee. I'm talking bigger picture here.

I know morale will only go down if you kill a human, which is why I am saying DON'T KILL ME!

Um, there was more, but I'm at work on the iPad, and can't recall it all.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I'm honestly not certain. I think both of them make a decent case for the other one being pretty suspicious. The nice thing is if we kill either one of them we get our answer, we just have the risk of the answer at the cost of morale.
