This was a fun fight. I've never seen two Thieves pitted against each other before.

I draw a quorum card. I think that's it for my turn, but I'll let our illustrious narrator tell us that.
BSG
Illustrious narrator here. That is indeed it for your turn - no Crisis Card (and therefore no chance to exercise your Religious Visions). We shall move right along to Baltar's Turn. Dr Baltar, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.
BSG
I'll post the end-of-turn summary too, though since there was no Crisis Card, all that's changed is that President Roslin has more cards. Cylons outside are still stuck in a holding pattern, Centurion has paused to take out the nearest PA. A grateful fleet cheers it on.

Dr Baltar, please post your action before the Admiral starts singing again.
I know I want to find out who's a cylon but I can't decide who to test.
BSG
maybe be safe, and test the only free guy.
BSG
I feel this is a big thing, I should wait to see if anyone else would like to voice an opinion.
Right now, since everybody but Apollo is in the brig, testing him our number one priority.
I feel this is a big thing, I should wait to see if anyone else would like to voice an opinion.
I couldn't agree more, Dr. Baltar. However, as you seem to be done with your Big Kahuna burger and tasty beverage, allow me to retort.
- By all means, test me, Dr. Baltar. But let me point out that you and Boomer have the highest odds of being a cylon. If you are going to throw your one-time ability around wildly, play the odds and choose Boomer.
- But since this slugfest seems to come down to me vs. the President, cast your mind over the plays that Roslin has made so far in the game. She has done nothing but draw quorum cards that she will not use. Oh wait, she did do something else -- she tried to brig you.
- Think about the last crisis card draw the President made. She drew two cards and CHOSE one. The one she chose was a surprise cylon attack while we were already under attack from cylon raiders. There are only 10 cylon attacks in the crisis deck (70 cards total). The odds that she drew two in the same turn, and that the one she played was the lesser of two evils are about 2%.
- Finally, and I hate to point this out, but your credibility isn't the highest, Dr. Baltar. You have done nothing to convince me that your aren't a cylon. You test me, and I have no doubt you will say I am a cylon in order to sow discord among the humans. You test the President, I am pretty certain you will say she isn't a cylon in order to encourage the humans to let her out to continue her mission of destruction.
Frankly, I think the time during which your cylon detector had a lot of relevency has passed.
Centurion has paused to take out the nearest PA. A grateful fleet cheers it on.
Hee!
You know, technically that boarding party is a virus, so maybe it will do a DDoS on the PA system.
BSG
I agree with Baltar's decision to wait until all the Loyalty cards are out to use the Cylon Detector. I think that in this case, nothing really changed at halftime, but that's only my supposition.
I actually agree with President Roslin, however, and suggest that you test Acting Admiral Adama.
