Even though I was on the losing team, it is nice to see Humans win for a change.
As always way fun. Thanks, GM!

WHOOOT!
I was only in sickbay the once, and as you'll recall, I angled to stay in there so that I could meet my personal goal, but at the time, the Centurion on the track seemed the greater threat, so I gave up on my personal goal in order to survive as a team. Because I am a team player like that. I was so sure that was going to cost us at the end. Thank goodness it didn't!
I screwed up basically allll the way through this game! I did a good job accumulating presidential powers, and then basically couldn't use any of them. I suspected Baltar (sorry, Baltar!) which meant I accidentally defended Romo (were you a Cylon already then, Romo? I bet you were.) when suspicion came up. I should have been much more assertive, because I had in my hand the ability to essentially keep someone from spiking, brig them and kill them. And I never did! I also could have sprung Zarek and/or Athena from the brig when we got to that point. So then once both Cylons were revealed, half my Quorum hand was useless.
I really liked NewPollo as a character. He was very usable, and his weakness wasn't nearly as problematic as his strength was awesome. I felt like I was pretty able to be effective in that way.
I think I just need to strike a balance between classic Liese PARANOIA! ALL THE TIME! and not talking about suspicions at all. The suspicions are half the fun!

Good game! I thought we had you on the ropes and then the tide turned. It was a toss up between advancing the centurion on board the ship and the crisis draw and I went for the draw with got 33, and then the humans got lucky and were able to jump away before an activation that would have been devastating.
Ah well, at least I keep up my reputation for turning into a toaster.

I was indeed a cylon the whole game. At sleeper phase I was able to pass Apollo the card I later managed to peek at and cause all kinds of havoc.
That you humans still managed to survive is quite amazing

YOU JERK. I wondered why you picked him instead of Cally, who had publicly stated that checking her Loyalty could be bad. (Mine would have been even more disastrous, as it would have killed me.)
YOU JERK
yeah. It really felt good drawing the card I'd hoped for with a 1/3 chance.
Yeah, I was pretty pissed at that because I knew you knew!
eta: I mean, not for reals. But in game, PISSED!

Thanks everyone, I really enjoy running these games (for the most part).
My wrap-up. As always, congratulations humans and commiserations Cylons. This is the first human victory in seven games, so well done. I continue to be impressed with the new Daybreak elements, not least being the 0-value and Treachery cards. There were skill checks that were made of awesomeness, with all the effect cards therein.
Some other notes:
All that could have been pre-empted anyway. Cally's final choice of destination was between Asteroid Field (which she chose) and Mining Asteroid. That card would have activated Scar again, and then reshuffled the crisis deck. It's anyone's guess how that would have turned out. However, Mining Asteroid was only 2 Distance, so the humans would have had to survive for yet another jump cycle.
BSG
Does anyone have questions about anything else from this game?
BSG
I feel like the last time I was a cylon was also a human victory. Do you happen to know?
