Adama: Sickbay; 6 cards
Hrmph. If one of you could see their way clear to getting me out of Sickbay before my next turn, I'd be much obliged.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Incidentally, I found megan walker's Secret Santa present here: The 2010 Good Gift Games.
Unfortunately, I couldn't anyone who had Last Call: The Bartender Game in stock.

A game even juliana might play!
That guy's rules for Good Gift Games are pretty much what ran through my head when I opened it.
The criteria I use to make my selections remain unchanged:
•They are easy to learn, with rules that can be explained in less than five minutes
•They are entertaining enough that even the guy who comes in dead last has a great time playing
•They are quick, lack downtime, and require an hour or less to complete
I'm just sad that I leave tomorrow and won't have a chance to try it out for a few weeks.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG
FYI I am going out of town from the 18th-23rd. I should be able to check in once a day.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
BSG
Well, I think making sure we can trust the Admiral is a priority at this point.
Move: None
Action: Use my OPG ability to view Adama's Loyalty Cards.

I will be out of town from the 18th-28th. I think between free WiFi on the planes and (I assume) my siblings' wireless, I should be able to keep things running smoothly. Obviously, I won't have my board with me, so make sure to check your cards, summaries, etc.
Adama's info is on the way.

Ooh, interesting choice, Doctor.

Well, Admiral, Doc Cottle was kind enough to slip me a blood sample while he was treating you and it looks like we can't blame shoddy Cylon programing for some of your, er, quirks. Thanks to my incredible scientific knowledge (to go with my all-around brilliance) I've come to the conclusion that you're human after all.

Well, of course I'm human, Doctor. Could a mere machine display such effortless command of the Lambada -- the Forbidden Dance?
...Oh. That's how the detector works? Impressive. I have a newfound respect for science.
Ok, at this stage of the game, that's essentially a guarantee. The only reason Baltar would have to lie is if he were a Cylon too, and three Cylons would just be unheard of. It makes me reasonably confident about Baltar too. A Cylon may tell the truth about these things in order to appear more trustworthy (Apollo did it to great effect in game 1), but actually using his turn's action, and his OPG, just so everyone can be sure of one player? If Baltar is a Cylon, he knows anyone he checks will be human. Why let anyone else in on it? Make an accusation, stir things up, sure; but this is too beneficial for the human side.
Then there's his choice of target. It makes sense for a human to check the Admiral and make sure he can be trusted. It makes sense for a Cylon to cast suspicion his way for maximum disruption. It makes less sense for a Cylon to provide a guarantee to the other humans that their Admiral can be trusted, at his own expense.
Which means it's probably Helo or the Chief. Probably whichever one of them doesn't XO me out of frakking Sickbay! If you could be so kind.

BSG
Well, gee, when you put it that way, Helo was looking awfully suspicious when he remanded his CO's once he realized that they were going to be visible, another humanish action from Baltar.
If Baltar had said you were a Cylon, I would have thought that he was a Cylon. But since he said you're human, yeah, I agree with your assessment. You know, except for the part where you think I'm a Cylon.
I have to say, if it does turn out that Helo's the remaining Cylon, I am now fairly suspicious about who you're imaginary sleeping with to get all these imaginary children.
