I still really need to know what will happen this turn, sorry.

@reis91: I'm not bluffing. Dunno what EL is supposed to be bluffing about but I'm certainly not.
The only question is: Will I do it on my turn, or will EL XO me for it? :p

There's still a bit of debate on that point - personally I believe the latter option may be pushing our luck too far, but EL apparently doesn't.

Randakar is up, official update and cards coming soonish.
 
Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

Just playing cards scared our humans away from attempting to pass the check, when they could have obliterated it quite easily, I suspect :p

"What is the most basic article of faith? This is not all that we are."

Gentlemen, it has been a fine time aboard your wonderful, wonderful ship, but I feel the time has come for me to depart to my new dwellings aboard the Cylon basestar.

## Reveal myself as a Cylon!

Code: 
[b][COLOR="Red"]You Are a Cylon[/COLOR][/b]
CAN SEND A CHARACTER TO THE BRIG

[B]Action[/B]: Reveal this card. If you are not in the "Brig," 
you may choose a character on Galactica. Move that
character to the "Brig."

## Brig Starbuck / Reis91
## Discard the following cards:

Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Politics-2 (Consolidate Power)
Politics-2 (Support of the People)
Leadership-1 (Executive Order)
Engineering-2 (Repair)

Fast but effective.

Jacob, shall I send the new president his quorum hand or will you do it?
(I think it's Adama according to the revised succession order, or at least that's what it was supposed to be according to the pegasus rulebook last time I checked (a few days ago..))

EL, apologies for doing it this way, but I really believe it's the best option at this point in time. Losing the presidency is too bad but it cannot be helped. Let's just hope we'll have a "declare martial law" crisis soon :p

edit: EL, if Jopi doesn't jump the fleet with the crisis I suggest you jump the fleet yourself on your turn to force the matter.
If we do jump you may want to consider taking the presidency back (Administration on colonial one). Brigging Kriszo would be neat too but I don't think we can pull it off.
Alternatively, you can just reveal and leave the humans to fret over it :p

It is adama, please pm him the quorum cards whilst I do some junk and stuff.


JOPI! PICK DRAW TYPE! TREACH OR ENGINE
 
Eh? I understand you want to brig me to throw some raiders and basestars our way, but wouldn't it have been more effective to pass a measly Admiral's quarters check of 4 instead of forsaking the presidency?

About the brig check, yes, EL bluffed, as my instinct was telling me. Still, it would take 8 points out of my hand to pass it, a bit steep.

Now, we can expect randakar to start throwing nasty metal at us when we jump. EL may FTL us, to try and lose pop, or pick two destination cards and hope for some nasty ones. I've no idea if Saintis or anyone else scouted the Destination deck...

Now, we need some priorities, besides letting me out of this stupid containment ASAP to shoot some toasters. And btw, how's your quorom, Adama? Totally crap, I expect...

Mmm, just noticed the IC's don't reveal Destiny...

Click to expand...

From my perspective? Not really. It's LEA/TAC, colors that don't really suit me well, while you and Kriszo would have been able to throw in at least 4 cards to counteract it.*
More importantly, I have reason to believe Jopi might have attempted to counteract it, too.

At the same time every moment I stay on this ship risks you folks attempting to execute me or EL. That pile of TAC cards in your hand poses a real danger. Less now you are brigged, mind, but still. Wasting cards that we can use to fight off execution attempts on attempting to brig you when I can do it semi-automatically with a reveal is just much nicer. Sure, it costs me in the sense that I now can only contribute one card to checks, but with the hand I have I'm not losing much sleep over it :p

Hah! So optimistic! You may not live long enough for me to bring 'it' :p
(One other reason to reveal - I can't play super crisis cards on New Caprica ..)

Do I detect a veiled threat in there?
Click to expand...

No. A veiled threat would not be this obvious :p

On the serious side, I would be seriously surprised if cylons win the game before I get to my next turn. With 2 people brigged and one potential reveal there will only be something like 3-4 crisis cards before that point ..
 
Oh for goodness sake. I am now President. In the brig. When can I ascend to a higher plane and succeed to my rightful place as God-Emperor/President/Admiral Adama?

You know, executing you is still an option here, don't you agree? :p

(for several reasons: No. Not really. You'd get out of the brig that way, for starters :p )
 
Would eating Cylons be cannibalism? I guess we could roast them and gain some more food that way.

Eh? How can you eat roasted metal? It would take near-atomic level disintegration to extract the little carbon left in their alloys, to fashion something of nutritional value to humans...

Of course, one might look at this from another angle...

I wasn't suggesting eating Centurions of course :D They could be used as table lamps though. Or maybe we can extract fuel from them.
