I can help a bit with the check, but not a ton. I would love the partial pass. I'd hate for morale to drop too low I die. But then again, I could come back as a pilot. But then we'd have to get morale down to 2 in a rapid fashion, and that would be bad.

We're not going to last long enough for Morale to be an issue, don't worry. But I agree that a partial pass would be nice. So try, but don't try too hard.

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

BSG

I'll put up a token once I'm no longer in transit, but everyone passes on interrupts, and we can start the check. Baltar has no cards, so Cally plays first (0 or 2+ cards).

Administrative note: Destiny's play reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Don't worry? Not last long enough? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough... The tough get goin'! Where's the spirit? This isn't the Gallactica I used to know. Now c'mon! Let's get those Cylons! Apollo, he's a dead "man"! Loeban, he's a dead "man"! Now? Who is with me!?!?!

Leoben plays one card. Apollo is up next.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I know I'm always wrong about these, but has Apollo ever been human besides the time he was unceremoniously killed in the first round (and replaced by Starbot)?

He has! In games 3, 9 and 13. Interesting trivia: the humans won each of those three games. The Cylons have won every game in which he was a Cylon (excepting the current game, of course, on which the jury's still out). I would need to check further, but I think that makes him easily the most successful character on the Phoenix board. (On boardgamegeek, his performance is much closer to average.)
