If Hoshi wasn't a Cylon before, he
could
be one now! How can I turn down a free execution??
I mean, I could be wrong, but I could also be right. But I could also be wrong.
This is the second time I've had the option to execute the Admiral. I feel like the game is telling me something.
Would anyone else like to weigh in? We're off to a rollicking start with Sleeper Phase!
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
I would prefer to *NOT* be executed. I know, shocking, right?
BSG (Apollo)
Your objection has been noted.
I'm going to feel like such a fool if you turn out to have been a Cylon from the start and I pass on executing you twice.
BSG(Dr Caution)
So it's discard 6 total and draw Treachery, or risk losing Morale and 10 cards?
If he'd been particularly suspicious, I'd say go for it, but (particularly just after Sleeper Phase - anyone could have have tuned into station CYLN, even Newpollo) under the current situation I think the discards are lower risk, and less suspicious. Plus, can you discard some Treachery, so as to partially wash?
BSG (Apollo)
I agree that the discards are definitely lower risk, and I can discard some Treachery too.
And Hoshi hasn't been
particularly
suspicious. Unfortunately. It would make this decision a lot easier.
BSG (Leoben)
Aw Hoshi... why can't you be more suspicious? The only reason I'm in favor of execution is it would be kind of exciting.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
Aw Hoshi... why can't you be more suspicious? The only reason I'm in favor of execution is it would be kind of exciting.
As Admiral, I serve, to protect... Not to entertain.
I'm not sure the loss of morale would be great for the fleet. I've tried to serve as your military leader, as best as I could. Thankfully, we've avoided enemies a lot so far. Which makes me afraid we will have an over abundance of attacks the second half of the game.
I know how the game works. If I plead for my life, and try and convince you I'm human, it makes you suspicious. If I don't, it makes you suspicious. So. Do what you need to do. May the Gods guide you in your decision.
BSG (Apollo)
I will once again go with the unexciting, safe choice and spare Hoshi's life. I choose
Option 1
and
discard VO-4, EM-1, and LS-1.
I will once again go with the unexciting, safe choice and spare Hoshi's life.
Booooo. BOOOOOOOOO.
*Ahem* By which, of course, I mean that Hoshi discards the following cards:
Declare Emergency 3
Strategic Planning 3
Repair 1
Replacement Treachery cards are going out. After that, we'll finish up Apollo's turn.
