Doctor Baltar, please, I sincerely beg your forgivness for what I now believe to be a rash and deluded attempt to have you arrested. If you could could then do us all a service (at the next actual opportunity you get) and test the Admiral's loyalty, I would be forever in your debt. As would we all.
BSG
Strike that. Lest I be accused of some cylon perfidy in an attempt to get you to "waste" your only detection attempt, could you instead check the CAG's loyalty? The answer to that question will tell us all we need to know about the Admiral's loyalty.
BSG
When the second loyalty phase comes around do all the cylons reveal at that point or just the one who gets a cylon card that round?
Don't know. And I think the gods are sleeping at the moment. When they do check in, we'll have other things to think about, but don't worry, I won't forget about this.
BSG
I only ask because if that's the case it would be silly to save my cylon test until after we already know who all the cylons are.

strike that. Test the President and put all rumors to rest!
GM, can the players lie when doing Cylon check??
Testing me does not reveal to you what I already know - that the worst possibilty is our terrible truth. The Adamas are the cylons among us.
BSG
Mdm Ptesident. Doth the lady protest too much? Why not prove you are not? Then maybe we would believe you. But I think we proved in one of the failed checks were neither pilots could play, that Apollo wasn't tossing in the bad cards.

I don't think it's Apollo playing the bad cards. I think it's the Admiral. But if the Admiral is playing the bad cards, that means Apollo lied about the Admiral's loyalty, and there's only one possible reason the CAG lied.
BSG
I mean technically yeah. There's really no way to know. Even when I use my once-per-game loyalty card check I can't show the cards to the other players. Can I?
No, they are for your eyes only.
When the second loyalty phase comes around do all the cylons reveal at that point or just the one who gets a cylon card that round?
When the second round comes, all the remaining loyalty cards are dealt out and you can be assured there are two Cylon cards in the game. However; no Cylon is obliged to reveal at that point, whether they just received their card or were a Cylon from the start.
GM, can the players lie when doing Cylon check??
Absolutely. They can also simply refuse to divulge what they've seen.
