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

I feel like the last time I was a cylon was also a human victory. Do you happen to know?

I do happen to know, and no; you were a Cylon Anders in game 14, which was a Cylon victory. However, you've been a Cylon five times now, and three of them had a human victory. (That included game five, where I played Adama and you were Cylon Starbuck and like the son I never had.)

How many times have I been a Cylon now?

That's seven times now. Three of them have had a human victory. (P-C has also been a Cylon seven times, with just one human victory. Liese and omnis have perfect records as toasters, out of four and three games respectively.)

Good times.

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

yeah, the game is definitely more fun when you're a cylon. Humanity is stressful.

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.

I find being a Cylon (at least pre-reveal)stressful as devious and sneaky are not my strong suits.

I enjoy both sides, but I'm a better Cylon than human.

my biggest weakness is when I'm a human I tend to make everyone think I'm a cylon.

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

I agree, being a hidden toaster is very stressful. Once out, it's fun. The last time I was a Cylon, I was Admiral, so I stayed hidden, to try and pick bad destination, and waste a nuke. Worked too!

Right then. I have an assignment due on Friday, and after that I'll have some time to get the next game underway. This will be game 21, so every crisis will be served with copious amounts of alcohol. (The Cylon attack cards will come with those fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them.)

I propose to run this game under the same rules set as the last one, i.e. with the standard materials from the base game and all three expansions, as well as Conflicted Loyalties and the option of a Cylon leader. If players would like any other rules option, it can be done. A reminder of the other available modules:

  • New Caprica (from Pegasus)
  • Cylon Fleet (from Exodus)
  • Ionian Nebula (from Exodus)
  • The Demetrius (from Daybreak)

Let's start the sign-up now. Who's in for game 21? Reply in-thread or send me an email.

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

Maybe throw in something else this time, like the Ionian Nebula? That was pretty terrible, if I recall. I don't know what Demetrius does.

I'm in either way.

Our wings are not tired

I think I'm going to sit this one out. My schedule looks to be getting pretty busy over the next few months.
