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.

Whoo-hoo! Now can someone get me out of this stupid cage? I finally got my hairstyle just the way I like it and would hate to start over in a new body.

ETA: I do have to say Team Human got a really sucky string of crisises they never had a chance to recover from. With how crappy things were right off the bat team Cylon may have been better served to give up all pretenses and just go for the jugular. (Though at the time I'm sure we both thought we were a team of 1.)

Serial because this deserves it's own post:

Thanks Billytea for running the game. I had a lot of fun. And thanks for humoring my various sinister plots that never ended up coming to fruition.

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

They really did. Especially at the death, Legendary Discovery followed by Scouting for Water was just impossible for them to escape. They both demanded Purple and Red cards to pass. Either the humans pass LD and avoid the Food loss, then fail SfW and lose all their Fuel; or they fail LD and Food drops to 1, and then Chief chooses option 2 on SfW and they lose the last Food.

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

Yay team cylon! I was disappointed to be a cylon at first but it turned out to be really fun. Still, humanity losing twice in a row is a bummer. I, for one, am up for a rematch.

I'd also love to play again if BT is up to it. Would definitely like to play a human and have to experience all the paranoia. Plus, it'd be nice to enjoy shooting down raiders instead of just doing it to avoid blowing my cover.

There was little paranoia for the humans this time. Just desperation.

Indeed. I found it ironic that the failed Detector Sabotage check, which ensured the Cylons' loyalty cards could never be checked, is what allowed the humans to work out who the two Cylons were.

Anything for a weird life.

So, none of them can ever get home, but the 3 people left are feeling mighty fine about it. I don't think Morale is supposed to end that high.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

at least, with no fuel, we can't spin up the drives, so maybe it will be harder for the cylons to find us. Sure we don't reach "earth", but we end with NO cylons in space around us!
