Man, getting those Attack cards back-loaded like that was the real killer. (The Execution didn't help, but I'm not sure one Pilot could have helped enough.)

Great game folks! And huge thanks to awesome Game Master BillyTea!
In case you were wondering, I was cylon from the start. At the turn, I got a second Cylon card (which I gave to Helo when I revealed).My goal was to use at least one, if not both nukes before revealing. But with no attack cards the first half of the game, it was proving very difficult. Finally had the chance, with my lovely reveal.
I'll leave the rest of the details to BillyTea, and his lovely post-mortem post (assuming he is doing one)

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

I will indeed be doing one, though it'll be a couple of days coming as the family Tea is currently at Phillip Island over Christmas. I will say that this game was wonderfully entertaining.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Happy Christmas, Gamers!

Oh, I knew. You were my top choice for Cylon, though I was flip-flopping between you and Baltar.

So after I got the lovely gift of Cylon-hood from omnis (which I was really happy about) I was going to reveal and then openly cause chaos with Hoshi.
However, the whole airlock suggestion came up and I ran with it. And then my strategy for the most part was to not play interrupts and play as neutral as possible. I spiked the Airlock checks hard, but that was pretty much it.
I was also silent a lot becuase I was working/learning a new position at work, and getting burnt out to the point I'd come home, check b.org and email from my phone and never even turn on my computer. Plus I only went with Helo because my top choices were taken and I just basically picked him at random. He had new powers - which I don't think I used.

For the record, I *didn't* spike that first check. I suspect Laga did.

Ha ha oh my God what. All of my suspicions were based on that first check. That's where it all started!

I know, right! I was back tracking, trying to guess cards based on initial draw, and all that. Too many variables. And I was all happy that I had a cohort out there. Paint me surprised when I was dealt the SECOND Cylon card!
