Ooh, so there could still have been a chance for Roslin to bring it home if Cally had to use an action to play her Personal Goal. Iiiiiinteresting.

So! I was a Cylon from the start! Who knew? Cause I think some of you did.
I totally thought you'd all outed me, and I had even made plans with the GM assuming that was the case, but then no, I slipped by.
That's the longest I've ever tried to stay unrevealed. It was a challenge, and scary, but fun. I think I did pretty well unrevealed -- those visions were amazingly powerful.

I think I vaguely suspected every now and then, but when you soft-revealed, I assumed you had turned at Sleeper. And there I was celebrating the fact that you were in the Brig before and being irritated that you sprung yourself!

Any really good Crises you got to reject?
I had a lot of fun with the Cylon Fleet. I was so intent on getting both basestars to jump in, and I went through so many different scenarios of how to make it happen, and billytea gave me the odds, and, really, that was my crowning moment. Well, until they spit out a shit-ton of Raiders and I got to activate 18 of them.
I never used my original SCC because it gave special benefits to unrevealed Cylons, so I was waiting until you revealed! But by that time, it was too late.

I will mention at this point that over her first five turns, Laura Roslin's Religious Visions turned up exactly one jump icon. She produced a no-jump crisis the other four times, burying jump icons all the way. That's pretty much an entire jump cycle she cost you. I really thought someone might have connected the dots on that (though Apollo came close).

I was deeply deeply suspicious of Roslin the whole game, but when I was most suspicious was when I was least able to do anything about it. So, well done on that score, madam.
I was holding a BotB for ages and never able to play it! So frustrating!
BSG (Roslin)
I got All the Cards at the beginning of the game. It was kinda ridiculous. It was more effort trying to figure out how not to play them to your benefit!
And then I got lots of low value cards too, ones I could innocently play into the check for no help. Because my draw colors were so restrictive, it was almost completely impossible for me to spike. It was always either where I had no negative colors or where I had no positive ones, so if I played it would have been clear I was the one spiking.
So that left me to other machinations, like making us waste a lot of time on the whole Presidency and jail shebang. I had the get out of jail free card already when I tried to make you guys spring me. You were sufficiently suspicious by that time, so it didn't work to draw your cards out.

Like that time you randomly played a Red Tape. I was so confused that you were deliberately playing into a check where you had no positive colors. CYLON ALERT, I thought.

What! Ha.
BSG (Cally)
And I couldn't shoot you in the face because you were in sick bay! So unfair.
BSG (Roslin)
I know! Sickbay was totally the safest place for me! I mean, unless I'd been able to brig all of you, because that would have been hilarious with me unrevealed running around the ship alone.
Wow, I'm surprised the Humans got this close. They've been dying for 2/3rds of the game. Thanks for the entertainment!
