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

BSG

I'll leave the rest of the details to BillyTea, and his lovely post-mortem post (assuming he is doing one)

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!

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

In case you were wondering, I was cylon from the start.

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

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

Phillip Island? I'm guessing at sunset, familyBT will be down by the beach watching this:

Thrive to spite them

BSG

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.

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

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!

That is correct, Leoben spiked the first check. He was in fact trying to fulfill his human motive, but that motive required that Population fall to 6 or less. Apparently he didn't trust it to fall on its own.

BSG (Leoben)

Yes, you all took a few rounds to realize that my GtFoG ability allowed me to know what Destiny was playing into the check. So I ran with that and pointed fingers all over the place.

My biggest mistake was helping Pop to fall.
