BSG (Adama lama ding ding dong)
Pass on interrupts. I can help.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

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.
So, after four tries, I was finally able to play a BSG game to completion in facespace, though we had to draft substitute players for the Chief and Baltar halfway through because it was getting late and people needed to go home.
5 player game with President Baltar, Admiral Tigh, the Chief, Sleeper Cylon Helo (yours truly) and Sleeper Cylon Starbuck. We did the basic game with the updated Cylon locations from Pegasus.
Cylons won at 6 distance due to boarding party. Since I was the only experienced player (two others had played in one of the aborted games before) I tried to continue to give good advice to the other players even after my turn to the chrome side, though I spiked the hell out of the Network Computers check that ended up bringing the boarding party on in the first place.
The humans lost mostly due to bad luck. At 6 distance, only Fuel and Morale were in the red (Morale got hit hard that game. It was raised twice by Inspiration speeches and was still at 4 at game end.) but they just couldn't kill the boarding party, despite numerous attempts via XOs and with the occasional Strategic Planning for assistance and every other crisis after Network Computers seemed to have a heavy raider activation.
I ended up revealing simply to try to speed things up as it was getting very late, but never got to take a turn as a full cylon as the centurions marched their way to victory without my assistance. Starbuck stayed hidden until the end.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Poor humans. Boarding parties, man, they can be tough.

We need at least the partial pass. Population is doing best. But we really would like to pass this one.

I need to clarify something concerning Adama's play. Results once it's sorted out.
