If we don't let Boomer spring herself this turn, she's going to have to discard between 2 and 4 cards after her turn is over as she's at 14 now. (If she has an XO or Scout she can play, that'll use up one. And if we get a playable crisis that she has colors for, that will use another.)
On the other hand, the fact that Zarek's got his mugshot deal, makes it seem a little risky to free her now instead of waiting.
Then again, we still don't know who is a toaster, so Zarek could be one and lie to us to get us to either free a toaster or to keep a human in the brig.
So after all that, I say spring her now while we've only got a couple of basestars to worry about and there's less dastardly things for her to potentially do if she is a toaster.
BSG
Isn't the mugshot a 50/50 shot at best? Assuming you even pick the right person to begin with. I'm not sure why we would even suspect Boomer over someone else at this point.
I also have a lot of cards, which is why I'd rather do a check now.
BSG
The mugshot deal is indeed a 50/50 shot. I'm inclined to think Boonmer is not a cylon because of how cool she is being about us taking our time but when I was a cylon Boomer in the brig I was very polite too and the humans were right not to spring me.
I'm not sure if I'm leaning towards waiting just because I haven't gotten to use any of my quorum cards yet.
BSG
Laga/Zarek, if you're vacillating, you could offer to lower the brig difficulty for Boomer--that would lower it to 5. If she has 1 card of the right color that's worth 5 (and with all the cards she has, that's possible), she can get herself out without anyone else losing cards to the effort. Me, I still vote mugshots, personally, but that's a possibility.
(This is actually what I wanted to do when I played Zarek and you played Boomer, but I was never online when you played your turn *cries* Of course, I WAS a Cylon when I played Zarek--although I was a really inept one.)
Well, that assuming someone doesn't spike the check.
Personally, I have no problem with using a card or two for the debrigging if we decide it makes sense.
BSG
I will help Boomer get sprung provided at least one of her loyalty cards does not say cylon.
If Boomer were to XO me I might be able to return the favor but I don't currently have an XO.
I believe Boomer has no Green so I doubt that she could XO someone.
Ah rats. Still I think it's worth the wait for the 50/50 peek.
BSG
Sadly I don't draw Green, so I can't give out XOs. Even if I could, don't take this the wrong way Mr President, but I would be loath to XO you anyway. It's a basic safety precaution not to XO the person immediately after you if there's any doubt at all about loyalties. Doing so would give them three actions in a row; there's a lot of damage a Cylon can do with that.
It is of course nothing to do with how I regard your loyalties. I've previously warned Apollo not to XO me, for instance, for just the same reason.
BSG
So if I have this right, the President and Admiral would like to check me out before releasing me, while Helo and the Chief are in favor of releasing me now.

Apollo, that gives you the deciding vote. I favor getting me back into action, but of course I have the advantage of being assured of my loyalties. If a majority of (the rest of) the crew would rather wait, then let's not muddy the waters.
