Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

I'm confused. There are no Y4's in the check. There are no Y's in the check. There is a P4 (Purple, not Politics).

There are not, but Chief played one as an interrupt. (I haven't been counting individual cards as assiduously as Helo, so I can't speak to whether that's problematic.)

It's just I've been waiting (forever) to see a Y5, and so I've been noticing Y4s. Let me go back and check.

Zarek played it as an interrupt on Elections Loom back in turn 3.3. I don't think it's been played by anyone since.

Edit: My records of Y4 play agree with Helo's. There was one in the Detector Sabotage check on Turn 5.5, and one in the Network Computers check the next turn. And Zarek just played a third one as an interrupt on this check. Can we get confirmation whether any of them got double-played?

Sorry to derail the check, but it's good to know my memory's not gone yet.

However, I do need to get my beauty sleep.

If Tigh should post before I wake, I pray more than 15 he'll make.

Should we wait and verify if there actually was an IC to have been played on this check?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

OK, At this point, I dunno if I have the mental whatever to go through and try and figure out if this spreadsheet fucked up, or if I fucked up, or what. In my brain, that looks like trolling through all the e-mails, and posts to try and recreate the last 1/4 of the game or so? Yeah. I don't have the time for that. Sorry.
