Chief?

Note, even if you don't play into the check, you will have to discard a card, so please post what that is separately.

Hmph. You are not helping me out, people. Because a) not letting me play my free card and b) not tipping your hands with any nefarious activity!
 
I play nothing into the check. I discard my Y1 and decline to brig anyone.
 
I just don`t have enough evidence yet, although I do have my suspicions because I`m paranoid like that. But I don`t want to waste cards or make it easier for the Cylons if I guess wrong. It`s a bit of a shame to miss the opportunity, but I want to play it wise here.

My boîte has mail? That sounds kinky.

Any suggestions for my turn? While you ponder that, here's what I think of you all:

President Ferret: up next, so I won't be XOing him. Strong play for this check including the IC, looks good. Conversely, may have feared we'd use it to brig him if he didn't look helpful. Still, it makes a good impression.

Helo: didn't use the Chief's XO to reveal. Also helped. May be waiting for something better, maybe with his OPG. Like the son I never had.

Chief: Didn't reveal. Didn't use the GbC check to brig someone. Also has a OPG that could hurt us at a crucial moment.

Starbuck: Could be a double Cylon. I've heard about them. Though if that were the case, I'd have expected her to pass off her other loyalty card last turn.

Me: Leaderhips! Doesn't know the meaning of the word "surrender". I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context! When given the opportunity to doom all of humanity, didn't.

Ok, so I'm none the wiser. Whoever is the other Cylon is apparently willing to play along and hold out for a big reveal. Which simultaneously makes me nervous and reassured about XOs.

Anyone have a particularly compelling argument as to why I should XO them?

I could scout - I guess we want crises that advance the jump track and/or destinations that use fuel efficiently. I assure you I'm human.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

I think what you meant was, I have a OPG that could HELP us immensely. I dunno, man, constantly underrated by the biggest authority figure in my life. This is because I'm an NCO, isn't it?

But actually, I have very little I could do right now if given an XO. So I guess you could go with the son that was like the daughter that was like the son you never had. Except that "I assure you I'm human" is pretty exactly what he'd say if he were not, in fact, human.
