I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

In my opinion, green and purple cards are bad.

Heh. Purple and green are votes to put Baltar behind bars. All other colors are a vote to allow him to remain free. If the final number is 7 or greater, Baltar will finally have the spare time to work on his manifesto "It wasn't my fault, really!" in the peace and quiet of the brig.

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

Apologies all, I needed to clear some things up with Apollo concerning the current state of his hand. This has now been cleared up; the outcome is that he would like to amend his play to 1 card. No one else has played yet, so I will simply amend his play.

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Boomer:
Adama:

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

boomer plays no cards. I'm not sure it's the crazy Doctor. I think the sick president needs confining.

Thank you Madam President. I need one further clarification of your play, you have one more card in your hand than you think.

The Brigging of Baltar - results!

Green 1
Green 2
Green 3

Green 4
Purple 1
Yellow 2

Yellow 3
Red 3
Blue 2

Total: 14 - 13 = 1. Baltar walks free!

Madam President, I am sending you two Crisis Cards. Let me know which one your Religious Visions prefer. (This time around I'll ask that you just send it to me rather than post your choice here; there's something one of the other players wants to check.)

Incredible. A tip of the hat to you, Madame President. You played that round well. We burned nine cards, wasted a turn, and got nothing. You almost convinced me you weren't a skinjob when you went to throw Baltar in the pokey, but we didn't even get NEAR the number we needed. You had no intention of seeing him behind bars, and all you did was get rid of the Admiral's and my cards. You're absolutely right, Boomer -- Madame President played us for chumps.

And now I'm sure that Madame Kamala will pick only the finest of crisis cards for us...

We are so hosed. Hell, even my JAW!! is depressed.

Admiral Adama has invoked his once-per game ability, Command Authority. This allows him to pick up all 11 cards that were just played into the skill check to brig Baltar.
