So now we're just waiting on Madam President herself to pass or play on interrupts.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

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

Hi - I'm waving briefly from work, where I'm stealing someone else's connection. The shakes were getting too bad.

billytea, I think Adama can't ACTIVATE the Admiral's Quarters, but can still participate, right?

Absolutely. His Emotional Attachment only lasts until he sees someone else picking on 'em, then he joins right in. Not much of a friend, really, when you think about it.

I think that's been sufficient time for interrupts. Let's begin the Check. Destiny adds two cards, of course; I have COs from Dr Baltar, who also adds 2 cards. Apollo is next. We will conclude with President Roslin. As always, you can post here the number of cards you play; email me with the details.
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
2 cards
Apollo:
Boomer:
Adama:
Roslin:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So this isn't one of those games where I run out of cards and get to draw more, is it?

Well, your turn's up next. Even if the check is successful and you wind up in the Brig, you'll get to draw a full hand.

I know by the odds of the card draw I'm twice as likely to be a cylon as Roslin but c'mon you guys- we're gamers. How often does playing the odds really pay off?

We did have one game where one of the players (Hi if you're lurking, M!) started accusing Baltar of being a cylon as soon as characters were picked. That noise drowned out the activities of the ACTUAL cylons for far too long.
To mix metaverses, never tell me the odds.
Of course, we do have a 50% chance of having two cylons right now, and after the midway point, it'll be 100%. Brig everyone! (Except me, since you have all seen my card).

You have roughly a 25% chance of having two Cylons now. About a 50% chance of one Cylon, and a 25% chance of no Cylons.
