GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I can help with the check, but I'm on the fence about this. Losing morale would hurt, but having our sole leader being a Cylon could hurt us more.

I am very tempted to let the "Pradmiral" and his "men" figure this one out as a test of his fitness for either sort of command. However, this is too important to all the people of the Colonies let those two be the only fingers in the pot.

BT, thanks for the clarification. The phrasing had me confused but I've got it now. Probably.

Cylon screenings? In the middle of a frakkin' firefight? Are you kidding me? We don't even know if any of Baltar's tests actually worked!

I can throw in a little to help the check, but frankly it doesn't seem worth it. I'm pretty certain most of you want to feel better about which side yer old Pradmiral is on, even if the screenings chip at our already dwindling Morale. A pass would mean we are untouched by this crisis, but that's not enough for you bloodsuckers, is it?

I'm of the opinion of let's learn what the PrAdmiral is.

So? Who get's to see his card? Since it's a crisis card, is it revealed to the group? I doubt it. We then need to know, if the person who SAW the card is telling the truth or not. Ahhh the paranoia. Gotta love this game.

(I use italics to be out-of-game chat, BTW - I'm not sure if I made that clear enough)

o_a - unless a game mechanic specifically says "show everyone", it's NOT revealed to the group. So yes - Apollo alone would see the card, and then could 1) lie, 2) tell the truth, 3) smile knowingly and remain silent.

I'M NOT PARANOID SHUT UP

Hmm, I use italics for describing Tigh doing something. Not really sure what to do for OOC. Needless to say the following retort comes from Pete:

I'M NOT PARANOID SHUT UP

No, you're not paranoid, because you already know who the Cylon is by looking at your own Loyalty card!

And yup, Apollo is the only one who gets to see the loyalty card so if he is a Cylon, he's about to be handed a great opportunity to derail the colonial fleet.

Webcams? Ya, didn't think so. One of the disadvantages of not playing in person. :: sigh ::

What's that Boomer? You have a plan to get off this rock? OK. You are my pilot. I'll follow you. (with that rump, ya I'll follow you. Crap! Chief will have my ass for that thought!)

So yes - Apollo alone would see the card, and then could 1) lie, 2) tell the truth, 3) smile knowingly and remain silent.

Not that this has ever happened.

The Ghost of Apollo Past is whispering in Zarek's ear. Oh, that's some sort of horrible slash that MUST NEVER HAPPEN.
