never mind, Laga isn't the admiral.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm just happy being president

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

Quorum cards are always held by the President. If the Presidency changes hands, the quorum cards go to the new President.

Anyone else want to weigh in on the decision besides Zarek and me?

This game just wants to take all my cards from me. ALL my cards. *grumble* Never enough booz- cards for Salty. It's not fair. *sniff*
Okay, done whining now.
Aaaaaaanyway. IIRC Zarek wasted a Y5 on an IC when it would have passed us a check awhile ago, which has made me suspicious (what a clever way of avoiding helping on a skill check). On the other hand--damn, the Cylons are playing it close, because no one's done anything SUPER suspicious yet. I've got a few ideas but nothing damning. Zarek's also been helpful, and I don't know if taking the presidency away from him would be the wisest thing to do, especially if he is still human.
There's also the issue of population versus morale, and as noted, losing morale at this stage would be worse.
Also, as BT noted, I can always choose to take the Presidency later, because I am Tigh. So even if I don't take the Presidency now and Zarek does something suspicious, I can declare martial law on my next turn. Now, I can only do that once per game, but that ability is there.
So I am inclined right now to take the hit and lose the population instead of the morale and piss off Zarek. (What IS the fluff reason for the population loss here? The admiral gets mad and starts a bar fight?)
BUT I would also like to see what others say as well.

Huh. I didn't realize drunks could have intellectual stupors as well.

I've also been suspicious of Zarek since the Y5 incident happened so I'm not in favor of giving him the presidency.

Um, Zarek has the presidency.

See, this is what I get for posting right after I got home from the hospital and why I shouldn't be allowed to dabble in politics.
My main point was backing up that I have the same suspicions regarding playing the Y5 card right before the check, that smells like a toaster move to me.
Beyond that, ignore me, nothing to see here. I'll just keep flying this Viper.
