How many cylon victories does that make here?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
All but one, I think.

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

It's currently Cylons 3, Humans 1. This one was easily the closest.

A little more detail: The first game went for 53 turns; the Cylons won on Population. The second game was 39 turns long, and Fuel was the culprit that time. Game 3 took 33 turns for the humans to win. Finally, this game took 50 turns and was another Population victory for the Cylon master race.

I need to work out how bad may cards really were. Every time I was surprised by how many ones and twos I drew.

Attention lurkers!
Billytea and I were discussing GMing and wanted to know if there are any lurkers interested in trying a game (either now or in the near future).
I know you are out there. Speak now, or forever be suspected of being a cylon.

Yeah, Laga, there was really only one point where I had an amazing hand of high cards (and really wanted to pull Legendary Discovery). But otherwise, I felt like we couldn't really compete on skill checks.

For much of the game my hand was almost completely Y1 and R1 cards.

Two thirds of the skill cards are worth 1 or 2, so there's roughly a 13% chance of drawing nothing better. Usually you'll get at least something better, but it certainly happens.

You actually only ever lost two skill checks that you tried to pass. (There were a number that you chose to tank without trying.) Unfortunately, those two were the last ones that finished off your Population. Destiny was double negative for both checks too.
It was, from my end, a deliberate strategy to try to keep you guys short on cards. As far as I was able to anyway, revealed Cylons don't get much chance to be proactive; but where possible, I tried to get you guys to spend up. My own hand had its ups and downs, but I drew the Purple-5 back on my second turn, and then held onto it for almost the whole game. In the end, I didn't get much out of it beyond stopping you guys from drawing it.

But even if I had drawn it on that last hand it wouldn't have helped.
