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

BSG

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.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

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.

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

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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.

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.

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.

Ha! Yes. There was point when I was saying to BT that I need to play a quorum card soon, for I feared NOT playing any for so long was suspicious. It really is a tough balance. How do you not help the humans, but stay hidden.

Ultimately I think I stayed hidden too long. No clue when I should have revealed. But, I wouldn't recomend it for future. I got lucky. And it was rather fun!

We also had no brigging this game too, yes? Rather strange game. Minimal suspicions voiced. Minimal violence. No boarding party. No OPG. No nukes. A LOoooOng stretch of no attack cards. Crazy!
