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.
BSG
I think we need the cards, let's get the possible toaster out of the brig.
Ahhh, this reminds me the tabletop game we played at ND's place. Me guessing who the cylons were, and nobody listening to me. Ahhh, those were the days.
BSG
So? Has Boomer made a decision? Will she stay in the Brig? It all rests in the hands of Apollo! (cue dramatic sting music - duh duh duuuuh!). Turn in tomorrow for the startling answer.
(what else am I supposed to do as GM?)
wow, talk about cross post. I double check my e-mail in case of CO's (ha, as if). OK, looks like the decision is leaning towards escape from the pokey.
Ms Boomer? what is your official MOVE and ACTION (well, no move I suppose).
