Random bought my trust in large part by looking at my card and telling the truth. Which, in retrospect, was brilliant, because it meant he could hide behind my, uh, skirts...and then when he was revealed as a cylon it cast doubt on me.
He'd been psyching himself up to out you, but at the last moment decided the credibility war would be too risky. In hindsight, he got a much better payoff the way it played out. In fact, I had a running dialogue with him as (to me, who after all knew his loyalty card) his acts of sabotage became more and more outrageous. Mostly to the effect that surely
this
time someone would notice. But even Roslin, who was I think the only person
not
convinced Roslin was a Cylon, suspected you instead of him.
In conclusion, your husband is a lying liar who lies. It was a thing of beauty and a joy to behold.
I know Sean totally thought Raq and hubby were cylons. Funny really.
Six players all up, though on BGG they've run some experimental games with ten. You interested?
Yes, I'd be interested. I just ordered a copy from Amazon so it'll be here Friday.
A 10 player game would rock. It would probably be chaos but such GLORIOUS chaos.
Nothing could be further from the truth actually. Watching this last game I knew I'd much rather be one of the humans with their brave struggle.
Which is ironic as I think I'd like to play Saul Tigh.
Ya, I'm trying to think who I'd like to play if/when we play again. I rather like Boomer. But I'm also wanting to try something else. Maybe Starbuck.
Omnis, you apparently have a thing for damaged goods.
Oh wait, that's the entire cast.
um ya. Tis true. You would think with so many "damaged goods" out there, I'd have a flock of women at my door. Apparently I'm also a "nice guy" which has a stronger repellent.
Oh, you meant for the show/game. Right. um. ya.
Which is ironic as I think I'd like to play Saul Tigh.
I think he's the best character to play, actually. He's my preferred character these days.
Starbuck's fun to play also, but the pilots are sort of...like playing a fighter in D&D as opposed to playing a magic-user. Rather than trying to come up with creative combinations or solutions, your gig is to shoot stuff.
that's what I thought, and then spent half the game running the ship and trying to save it from ruin.
I have no problem with being a fighter in D&D so maybe being one of the mindless cannons would be good for a first game.
I dunno.
