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

That could have been played by destiny. But the Pres has been very accusational this whole game. Hmm.

1) Um, that's the game, to be paranoid and accuse.
2) Since Gaeta came out, not so much accousing. We've all been playing pretty human, so, no red flags
3) No frakkin' way that was Destiny. There were (4) negative cards in the check. Destiny plays 2. That leaves 2 others. Odds are high, one was Gaetabot. So? That leaves 1 other card. I think it's safe to say, Chief is NOT the other bot, as he played 0 cards. That's not accusational, just presenting the facts.

Destiny plays 2 cards, one of which could have been Political Prowess.

And the 2 green and 1 brown cards? I don't think destiny played all of those too. I'm confused? Are you thinking there wasn't a spike? That would certainly make me want to check your loyalty cards.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

There was a spike. What is being debated is what it was and who played it. The Political Prowess was held up as being a potential spike card. Helo is saying it could have been played by Destiny.

Ah. I guess. Spike is a spike. Why hold one card, when there were 4 in error?

Cally, myself, and Chief draw Yellow. And we all draw green. And each of us got a brown. Again, dunno who to use my OPG on.

eta: and we already know Chief didn't do it, as he played 0 cards.

I think we should throw Chief out the Airlock just to be sure, but that's just me. Oh, wait, you don't have an Airlock anymore, boo hoo. Cally can just shoot him then. Just to be sure.

Yes, sorry. an edited post, a second post. Sometimes, this scientific mind just babbles.

Starbuck, if you have an XO, and a clue who to check, I would think my OPG (look at all loyalty cards of a player) would be very useful at this point. We should have passed that check, even with Gaetabot.

BT, she can do a movement to get out of sickbay, then XO me, right?

Whatever you do, don't XO the maybe-not-a-human whose turn is just after you. I would say XO Chief but with only one card he can't do many repairs. Maybe get Cally out of sickbay? It's hard to say now that anyone except Chief could be a cylon.

No, you shouldn't. You were 9 points below. The highest negative card only took you down 6 points; even without that, you would have been 3 points below.

You're doomed.

I do not have an XO, so it doesn't matter.
