I think we have our replacement whackadoo.
I'm really bummed to have to lose Random. I've only ever gamed with him online, and each and every time has been some excellent gaming, and each and every time has been preciously short.
Please convey that to him for me, Raq.
Stunthusband, is that an offer?
That is an offer, billytea. I have a copy of the game.

Good to have you on board, Apollo II (Apollo 11?). I'll send you details of your hand. As I noted, the first Apollo proposed to attempt to remove the Presidency from Ms Roslin. If you're ok with that action, we're currently pausing for any interrupts.
BSG
Wait a second? Air-humping creep over there says the blinky thing shows Deuce over there is a frakkin' Toaster, and it wants to be PRESIDENT!!! What the frell???
BSG
It would be in the best interests of the survivors for the government to be vested in someone *outside* the Brig. Having just lost so many people, decisions have to be made quickly and decisively - not from behind bars.
(Apollo breaks into "My Way" at this point)
BSG
Oh FRAK, Deuce is doing that Karaoke thing too? @@ I gotta get out of here, STAT! And all of us brig folk can only play one card in this "Election" thing too? Hey Deuce, just move to Florida, why don't you.
BSG
Oh, SH, you'll do fine.
Boomer, you know that hypothetically, if you are a cylon and in the brig, and have the chance to look at the loyalty card of the only player outside the brig, you have no option but to say that person's a cylon, right?
Just, you know, to keep the atmosphere of confusion and paranoia going.

You're a great audience, thanks for having me in tonight - ha ha! You don't really have any choice, right? I love you guys, I really do.
Now, where's that presidential seal...
