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

You're actually at the point where you risk 1 Population loss. The 4 refers to how far advanced along the track you are.

Ha! I knew it. Now I just hope we're not completely frakked. I have a feeling the president's turn is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Good job making that check be in the open, Apollo. It chased both Cylons into the light. Glad I had enough cards to hit our target. (And that we didn't waste any cards freeing the toaster from the brig, despite her pleading.)

"Isn't it gloriously satisfying to be right, Helo?"

[draws a gun and shoots Admiral Adama several times in the gut]

"Now perhaps you ought to attend to your Admiral. He looks unwell."

[sighs, as the marines are making a move to grab him] "You know, I had almost come to grow sorry for the humans, but the times I actually tried to help was when the accusations started flying. Since before now, none of you complained when I was actually serving the Cylon cause I may as well do that more openly. I hope you enjoy my 'performance.'" [awaits being thrown out of an airlock calmly]

(I play my Loyalty card: You Are a Cylon - Can Send Someone to Sickbay Action: Reveal this card. If you are not in the Brig, choose a character on Galactica. That character discards 5 skill cards and is sent to Sickbay.)

And I wake up on the Resurrection Ship, I believe. Billytea, I'll email you my discards.

Apollo, let's do hope you're indeed not another agent, Number Eight's desperate protestations aside (although I honestly can't tell if she's really an Eight or just terribly bitter). I believe you have the Presidency now. ((You can probably work with the Quorum deck more aptly than I did in any case.))

((Nothing personal of course, NoiseDesign---or Kalshane. *smile* Being very new to this community, it's been hard for me to discern between combative tone of the players and combative tone of the characters. I've honestly felt a little picked on--as opposed to Zarek, who of course should be picked on liberally even if he wasn't the Cylon--so I don't want you to feel the same.))

((I can't speak for everyone DQ, but I think the hostilities are all in-game only. I honestly feel bad that Laga has been pretty much stuck in the Brig for half the game, but unfortunately keeping her there was the logical choice. Nicely done reveal, BTW.))

Note to self: save gloating until after the bad guys have been dealt with.

"Helo to Sickbay, we need a medical team to CIC now! The Admiral is down."

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

I sometimes feel a little sore about something that was said in the thread but then I remind myself that mistrust and accusations are part of the game. It does kind of suck being stuck in the brig but I'm still having a lot of fun.

Ex-President Zarek draws a Super Crisis card, and discards: Y1, Y1, Y2, Y2, G2, P2, P2. Admiral Adama, courtesy of being shot in the gut, you must discard 5 cards. When you're ready, please post your discards. In addition, you will start next turn in Sickbay, and will therefore draw only one card. Please post whether you would like Green or Purple.

Finally, we need a new President. Next in the order of succession is Apollo. Apollo, I'm sending you your hand of Quorum cards.

That concludes Zarek's turn. Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action (and choice of card draw).
