I have no idea what to make of Anders anymore.

But I think Cally is about to win the game for Team Cylon, so it doesn't really matter.

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

Cally has opted to draw 1 Red / 1 Treachery. Callandroid, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I guess I shouldn't have left everyone hanging!

I move to Cylon Fleet and activate the heavy raiders.

I think that should make everyone happy. And by everyone I mean the Cylons.

Cally activates the heavy raiders, and with them the Lannisters. The lead Centurion reaches the end of the boarding party track; Galactica falls! The fleet succumbs to Death by Joffrey!

CYLONS WIN!

And when I say "Cylons win", I do of course mean in the plural. Samuel T. Anders (the T stands for Toaster), won't you take a bow? I'm not sure you exactly remained hidden for the whole game, but you did remain at large, and successfully spiked no less than six skill checks - including the one eighteen turns ago that put Joffrey on the board to begin with.

Finally, Caprica Six' agenda was "Convert the Infidels" (yes, she means you). This agenda requires that all resources be at three or lower - success! Unfortunately, it also requires that the humans win. Caprica Six does not get to share in the victory of her sexy brothers and sisters.

Thrive to spite them

I really liked playing a Revealed Cylon! It started out because I had no idea how to hide spiking checks when was forced to play 2 cards or no cards.

And then it was fun seeing how I could frustrate the humans. Although it seemed like most of the time the humans went ahead and took the hit rather than failing a skill check.

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

That was fun! I really like the Cylon Fleet module, though I wouldn't say I exactly understand it, yet.
