I need to step away from this game for a while.

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

I thought the finger pointing was all part of the game.

Me too. But I'm new to the game.

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

The finger-pointing is part of the game, though it's not always easy to avoid taking it personally. (Especially when there's in-character language choices and out-of-character language choices.)

In the meantime, has the president played ANY quorum cards?????

The President has drawn three Quorum cards so far. None have yet been played. Anyone has any questions about the Quorum cards (generally, I'm not going to say what's in the President's hand), feel free to drop me a line.

Ok, Apollo has moved to the Admiral's Quarters, and initiated Brigging Baltar II - The Briggening. We will pause for interrupts, Investigative Committees and/or Scientific Research. Everyone, please post whether you play or pass. We'll start the Skill Check after 12 hours. If you want to send me COs for the check, feel free.

Hey guys -- let me apologize if I have been a pain in this forum. I know I'm an unknown quantity, but you have all been very kind to me as a newbie to the board and I appreciate it. I have only ever meant any of my comments in the spirit of the game; never about any of the players, and I am truly sorry if I have ever come across otherwise.

move out and draw fire

Likewise, everything I've posted under the BSG banner has been in-game, rather than personal. But *I* tend to take BSG stuff personally, so please accept my apology if anything I said crossed the line.

This game can get nasty around a table. I think it's even tougher this way, with no expressions or body language for the accusation/denial/counter-accusation cycle, and the extended timeline.
