I was really hoping that I could convince Starbuck to XO me. That would have been sweet. I would have done dogsville on first action, then reveal for second action. Then my regular turn, unleash the dogs of war. Alas, no XO, and didn't want to XO someone who follows. Thwarted by safe game play. I was also hoping someone would have a suspicion that would allow me to use my OPG and brig a human. How cool would that have been!
Speaking of OPG, did ANYONE use one this game? And no nukes were used either.

No one used their OPG (pikers), no nukes were launched, Gaeta didn't use his super crisis, and most disappointingly of all, no one got SHOT IN THE FACE! Not a single execution. This was an unusually sedate game.

Gaeta didn't use his super crisis
Sadly, there was never a good time for it; going for an actual crisis was likely to be a better option. I was waiting for the President and Admiral to have a lot of cards so the choice would be harder.
I volunteered to discard a bunch of cards like 2 or 3 times, so I'd have an excuse for not playing into the checks. That was an interesting strategy.

Though I note that you apparently had no qualms about underplaying into checks even when you did have a lot of cards.
Well yeah. I didn't want to HELP those pesky humans if I didn't have to.
I'm still giggling at the "transparent" comment. I *really* was scared of being shot in the face.
I'll never trust you again.
Hell, I don't trust me. Who knew I was so good at lying... I suppose it helps when you can see me squirming and smirking.
Oh man I so suspected you, but I know what it's like to be a human suspected cylon, the more you protest the more you're suspected so then I wasn't sure.
From the peanut gallery, I had Baltar pegged once it was obvious there was a second Cylon (and had suspicions before that) simply because he was so useless. (That's meant as a compliment, omnis.)
Of course, it's a lot easier from the outside looking in.
I also suspected Starbuck for awhile, just because it was ND.
