Boomer has the highest statistical likely-hood of being a toaster, though I haven't seen her do anything toastery. And we have at least one onboard at this stage of the game.
Honestly, no one has been behaving too suspicious though I do feel the need to mention that the only one who wasn't "able to help" in the open check was our Colonial President.
As much as I hate to potentially punish the incident, I can't help but think spending cards to spring the most-likely Cylon isn't a wise choice when no one else is acting particularly toasterish.
That and Boomer was voted "Most Likely to be a Genocidal Robot" in her yearbook.
BSG
aw man. Why did I pick this character? I have all thse helpful cards and I can't use them. Well I can still scout the crisis deck.
I play a Purple 1 to Launch Scout.
BSG
The scouting die roll may be modified by an SP. We'll pause for interrupts.
BSG
Look on the brightside, Boomer. At least being in the brig means the cylons can't shoot at us again this turn.
I pass on interrupts.
BSG
I have passes from all players.
Die roll:
6. Success!
Boomer, I'm sending you the top card of the Crisis Deck. When you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.
BSG
As for Boomer, what raised your suspicions before the sleeper phase? I couldn't target anyone as a toaster at that point.
I forget what it was, it wasn't a glaring thing, but it raised the eyebrows a bit and said, "hmmm, we must watch this one".

Yes, I agree. It's tough when everyone is playing so close to vest.

That raised a little yellow flag for me too. But, I think his card draw helped explain why he had nothing to play. Still, a yellow flag, but a small one.
It does raise doubts with you, casting accusations on others to deflect from yourself. Of course, by that logic, I would implicate myself. Ahh, love this game.

Yes and I also asked you why and you never answered... kind of like a cylon who was trying to throw suspicion off himself might do, pointing fingers at the mathematically challenged.
You guys are lucky you have me, I just buried
another
nasty crisis.

She also just saved a bunch of money on her car insurance by threatening her agent with a golf club.
That concludes Boomer's turn. Apollo, I have once again neglected to check with you beforehand: you have a choice on your card draw. What would you like to draw from Yellow and Green?
BSG
It is interesting that people are playing it so close to the vest on this game. I don't think I've seen a skill check that looks like it has been spiked yet.
