Chief doesn't have an xo, right? Because I can brig Apollo.
Chief draws 2 Green.
Or we could use a quorum card if Zarek has the right one.
Good point! Maybe it's worth it then. Chief could in fact XO Zarek in that case.
For some reason I thought that brigging meant they couldn't reveal, or move, or something. Otherwise, why did it matter about keeping Boomer in the brig?
In the Brig, you can't move, put more than 1 card in skill checks, or draw crisis cards. You CAN, however, take an action. Revealing is an action (which puts you as a result on the resurrection ship; NOW I do know you can't get someone out of the brig by moving them to sickbay, so maybe it doesn't work like that, but I'm pretty sure either Cylons can reveal from the brig, or my friends and I been doing it wrong).
Keeping *suspected* Cylons in the Brig is a decent tactic because it prevents them from putting more than 1 card in skill checks, making it hard for them to spike. If, say, Apollo's turn was like, 4 turns away, I would without reservation say let's brig him because it would restrict his ability to do anything until he could reveal on his turn. It's also a good idea to brig them because they can't draw crisis cards--otherwise they could draw a crisis card and if it's "player's choice" they could choose the worse outcome.
And it still might be a good idea to brig him if we've got the various additional resources to do so. Keeping him from spiking the skill checks as much as possible is good. I was just concerned it was going to take a lot of effort and skill cards just to keep him briefly contained.

Okay, I found this at a forum on ffg:
You can, however, exit the brig by revealing. You do not get the special text on your "you are a cylon" card, but it beats wasting time in a cell.
So, if we brig Apollo, my understanding is that he could reveal, move to the resurrection ship, and draw his surper crisis card, but he wouldn't be able to use the ability on his loyalty card.
Is that right, oh mighty GM?
BSG
Not the GM, but that is correct.
BSG
If I get an xo I can brig Apollo and also attempt to increase food.

Damn, didn't mean to click this thread at work. WOW! What a turn. Can't wait to hear from Chief.
bt answered the question.
um. Yeah, I got nothing else at the moment.

I play a G2
So, assuming Chief is willing to use his OPG (took me a second to figure that one out), we have just passed this check.
I will wait to post my play (or non-play) until he confirms that that is okay with him.
BSG
Is there still a chance Chief is a cylon?

No, unless Drew is somehow convinced that playing all those reds was a smart move for the humans.
But I think it proper to wait for Chief's opinion on how to use his own ability.
