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

He looks a little stringy to me.

I don't currently suspect him of being a cylon but option 1 feels a little bit worse. On the other hand he hasn't used his OPG yet has he?

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

Admiral Hoshi has in fact used his OPG, or more precisely with Daybreak, spent his miracle token. If he is executed, he has no token to lose.

But if he takes a new character he doesn't get a new miracle token, does he?

He does not.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

As much as I don't want to get killed, the thought of HALF our players drawing 3 treachery cards kinda sucks. It would be a ding on morale. But how much damage to crisis cards would it be with 6 treachery cards in our hands? If we are lucky to end a hand with more than 10, we can ditch a few.

:: shrugs ::

I dunno. Those are my thoughts.

OMG the suspense is... well.. don't want to say that. But, it's been two days! Am I dead? Or getting brown cards?

Let's put you out of your misery. So to speak. Apollo has decided... Hoshi must die! The Admiral is executed! He reveals his loyalty, which states:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON

One might conclude that he was human. Morale falls by 1! He discards his entire hand:

All Hands on Deck 0
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Quick Thinking 0
Establish Network 0
Scientific Research 4

He also loses his mutiny card, which was:

Armed Resistance

Now, omnis needs a replacement. He chooses: Admiral Saul Tigh! Tigh receives a new loyalty card, going out now.

There's no basestar left to activate, so finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn of death. New Admiral Tigh's new cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Well, that Hoshi sure wasn't a Cylon. But...Tigh still might be? Is that right? It's a small possibility but a real one?

At least he didn't have the best hand ever, but ouch. Plus a Morale drop. At least I blew up the basestar???

BSG (Admiral Hoshi... er. Tigh)

Wait, you kill me, ding Morale, and then try and point the finger at me for beng a Cylon? No discussion of what would be best for team human. Just kill the admiral, then accuse the new Admiral?

Lucky for you, I'm not the suspicious type.

So. We are finally in the blue for the jump track. Should I push the button? Or command some RSV's to go after the raiders in sector 6?
