Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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

Hooray I'm still not a cylon! whew.

Although I do draw blue cards, I'm currently out but if someone were to spring me before my next turn I could draw one.

not supposed to reveal stuff like that laga. It's a game of secrets.

How do we know she's not lying?

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

That she's out of Repairs, or that she's not a Cylon? :-p

The FAQ gives some extra info about the secrecy rules. It is permissible to say whether or not you have a particular card when it's relevant to the current situation or planning. (Of course, no one's required to tell the truth.) Players can't use this simply to list out their hand, or give info that's not relevant. It's never permissible to give the values of any cards in your hand. When playing into a skill check, all you can say is that you can help (or did help) a little or a lot. You can't say that you did or did not (or will or will not) play particular colours or cards.

Since you were all talking about how to repair the damaged locations, I'm ok with Boomer saying she has or doesn't have Repairs.

Throw her in the pond! Oh, wait, you have water shortages.

in pond = lack of air. Airlock = lack of air. So space witch hunts can throw folks out an airlock. If they implode from lack of O2, then they weren't Cylons.

Silly Apollo. You don't get to play with airlocks until the Pegasus expansion.

non BSG question here.

In Xbox Live, I have a friend request from "Lady Dionysis" in Washington. Is that a Buffista?

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.

It sounds Buffista-esque, but I don't personally know if it is or not.

Speaking of Xbox Live, I upgraded to Gold recently. (Which I don't think I've mentioned here, but my memory has been far from perfect lately.) Live name is same as my board name, if anyone wants to friend me. (Just include your board name in the request if it's not the same as your Live name, so I know who you are.)
