I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

...My gods, that's complicated. The Install Upgrades is good for Cottle, but I am still eyeing that TtL-5 as a potential spike.

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.

Gah. There may be a reason people say the BSG game is too complicated.

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

I think you may have misspelled "awesome" there.

Wow. That's crazy. I think I need a score card to try and track all that.

3 off color cards in the mix. Even if destiny hated us, that still leaves one as a spike. We all played 1, except Doc, who played 3. But given the earlier spike, and lack of doc involvement, I doubt he put all 3 in the pile.

Either way, we clearly need IC's to keep things honest, and figure out who is hearing Jimmy Hendrix.

3 off color cards in the mix. Even if destiny hated us, that still leaves one as a spike.

As I said, the Install Upgrades is off-color but it has a positive effect (besides triggering the Consequence, which several on-color cards did as well), so I would not consider it a spike. It's possible the two negative cards came from Destiny. I don't think any of us has Treachery besides Leoben, who appears to be on our side for now, and the TtL-5 does ping me as a deliberate spike. People drawing Blue are Leoben, Baltar, Hoshi, and Cottle, but Cottle couldn't have spiked the first check, and Leoben is Leoben. If this check was spiked, it wasn't Helo, which brings the likely candidates for hidden Cylon to Baltar and Hoshi. If this check was not spiked, we have no new information, however.

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

It all depends on what the Doc decides.

I'm pretty confident in the Doc, who made this check verrrrry interesting; I'm guessing at least one, if not more, of those 0-value cards was his. Besides, screwing us over now, after his turn is over, would be stupid. I can't imagine the strategic advantage there.

I would agree with that.

Also an interesting observation that Doc might have added the 0-cards.

Which then makes us wonder, is it a spike of the blue? Or destiny being destiny? If it was destiny, then, the person who spiked it before played to help? Which leads me to think, maybe Leoben spiked the first.

But then again, this is ALL specultation. Gotta love this game!

I'm going to Remove the PV-3 thus making the check a pass.

Now? Who is the ill player? Seems only fitting the Doc should make this choice.
