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

Admiral Adama, how many cards do you wish to contribute to the check?

A reminder, especially while a couple of our players are at the F2F, sending me conditional orders will make things move faster.

The online game in which I'm playing Dr Baltar [link] has just elevated itself to awesome. Admiral Tigh revealed himself as a Cylon in a truly masterful and gutsy display. Didn't quite pay off as he'd hoped (he was making a play for a Cylon sympathiser), but he still did damage, and the game's hit a new level in the subsequent accusations.

Especially for the people in the game over here, I recommend checking it out (say from about here - [link] - scroll down to the start of Tigh's turn). This kind of treachery is what makes the game such fun.

Why is that a fail? I thought the check was a 7.

Oh, I see. We got a 0, not a 7.

And there is more than two bad cards in there, which means one was added by one of us.

Ya, I noticed that too. I didn't toss in. We know it's not the Admiral. :: suspiciously glares at others in virtual table ::

I have a movement, and an action. I opt to stay put in the hanger. My action is play the Blue card that allowed me to repair some vipers. I believe it was a Blue2.

:: grumbes... first I, a Raptor pilot, blow up the Toaster Mother Ship alone, then I try and save CAG, ALONE, now I gotta fix all the other broken Vipers, ALONE. There is a Toaster in our midsts, and it's pissing me off ::

We do have a cylon amongst us, at least one, and we know the following; it isn't Bill Adama and it isn't Boomer (at least not in this check.) We also know that it is very likely that the deck turned against us, because we had been skating by for quite some time.

Me, I've got my eye on you, Roslin. Baltar, you too. Roslin, there is something strange about the way you were all too happy to burn those investigative committee cards, valuable yellow cards. Baltar, frankly you have a greater chance of being a cylon than the rest of us, and you have been pretty quiet there in the lab.

Therefore I propose we have a change of presidency. I am happy to make either Adama or Boomer the president. I am not certain enough to brig either of my toaster candidates, but I think that I am suspicious enough to want to see the presidency move to someone I trust absolutely.
