I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

So much confusion. Who let the dogs out? Must put them back in their places! Too much unrest.

I MOVE: nowhere. I stay right where I am at.

For my ACTION: I play Quorum card Establish Dogsville. Gain 1 Pop, lose 1 Morale.

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

Dogsville! Land of opportunity, hope of the new humanity. Yeah, you're all screwed. Morale falls by 1 to 0! Population goes up by 1, because really, what else are you going to do?

Technically, we don't check resources until turn end, which means that if you could raise Morale on Baltar's crisis card, you could still have a chance. Alas, his crisis card is:

Sabotage Investigated
Skill Check (9 PB)

This is a brutal crisis card. Even if you pass you lose 1 Food. Certainly it does nothing to lift the fleet's spirits. Morale stays at 0. President Baltar has doomed you all!

CYLONS WIN!

Can I reveal that I was a cylon now? Or do I have to keep that secret still?

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

Wow, that got really exciting and interesting towards the end! Actually it was pretty exciting and interesting earlier, but the trauma business is all mysterious and new. Fascinating.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

Ahahahahaha, I was hoping that the other Cylon had a Morale Reveal, but this was way better. Well done, you were one person I was sure WASN'T a Cylon because you're so transparent. Figures the second time you're a Cylon, you're Baltar again.

I totally made the right Crossroads choice. Oh man, that was glorious.

Aw dammit. And bt WARNED us about Morale when we picked Ionian Nebula to play.

At least it wasn't the Admiral. I'd have felt REALLY stupid passing up that chance to execute him.

Funny? I was going for dramatic. Or maybe Dramdey.
