And the most important player...

Player 7: Tenth "1010" Cylon

All of the Cylons are known to me, of course. For a gg bribe, I might could be coerced into revealing them. Even revealed, however, it'll make no difference, the humans are no match for these worthy Cylons!! Death to Galactica! Death to the humans!

Best regards,
Tenth

Don't trust him. He's a Cylon.

Clearly, what else could justify such a bold action?

And the president is in on it as well.
They are both cylons. And the Admiral as well. Frankly, the only one I trust at this moment in time is Baltar. And look, He's not there. Highly suspicious to me. I vote to put them all in the Brig.

Who's a Cylon?! Where?!

Oh, wait, that's me.

Death to the Humans,
1010

Don't trust him too. He's a Cyclon. Heck everyone is a Cylon...

Is that a Cylon flipping my burger?

What about the homeless man across the street? A cylon too, perhaps...

And I bet my bottom dollar that our wives are cylons (but they are more like sleeper agents). Ever seen them early in the morning? And the way they grunt "Morning honey. Coffee?". Coffee my foot. Most probably they're slowly poisoning geek-kind.

And what about our hyperactive kids? Is it a secret ploy by the toasters to drive us up the wall and to an early grave?

Everyone is a cylon. Trust no one. Heck, I don't even trust myself...

Well, this is one game where the last part is dead right - you could well be a cylon and not know it (sleeper agent phase...)!

I'm a cyclon and so's my wife.

I do think Zarek is appearing a bit shifty. But I'm also hopelessly paranoid when I'm playing this game.

Thanks a ton for publishing this as a geeklist - so easy to follow, I love it! (And totally want in on next game.)

I'm pretty sure I recognized Lee Adama at my latest Cylon's Anonymous meeting.

Course, some of them didn't show...said they slept in. Dang, lazy, rotten SOC's (son of a cylon).

I'm sure that those watching will have plenty to say about this move, as the other players have. Let me just say that, in my experience, the first basestar has proved to be very little threat in most my games in BSG, and my main priority was maximizing actions. Giving Zarek 4 Yellow draws give a good chance of at least 1-2 Investigative Committees, which could save us many, many cards in the next few turns. At the time I ordered, I was standing on Weapons Control and was waiting for an ExecOrder so I could fire twice to make sure I hit the basestar, rather than trusting the entirety of my turn to one die roll.

Plus, if I was a Cylon and this is as obvious an evil move as some of the other players seem to think: would I really be interesting in revealing myself so soon? And if I was, don't you think I would have done so on the Executive Order I just received so that I could take a Cylon action on my turn?

Peoples, peoples, although this move does look very Cylonesque, think about it. Bill Adama can't be a Cylon. He cries to frakking much (and doesn't even do that very well)!!! Death to the humans.

Wow, reading the thread. I'm surprised at the reaction. I've now played 21 times and I can think of shooting at a 'Battlestar' less then half a dozen times TOTAL in all those games. Rarely, do we see fit wasting shots on that and prefer just to jump away from them and take out the raiders that can actually move the dials. As the raiders aren't in position yet to destroy anything, I can see bringing more skill cards onto the table.

Plus, if someone is worried about you shooting, the best is for them to EO you to double your shots and not for you to activate yourself and get one shot.

Although the President taking 2 or 3 quorum cards into her hand instead of 4 skill cards might be a little less cylony at this stage in the game

See, that's why I thought. But evidently my group and I go about things differently than others.



If the President had been someone other than Roslin, I would've EO'd them so that they could use the President's Office twice, but I think getting Investigative Committees early can make a huge difference.


Of course, now we've gotten more Cylons on the board and the basestar is firing AGAIN so I'm looking worse and worse for it. :P Oh well.

Her turn was next where she could draw back up. So, the card thing was only somewhat a worry. But, that's why I said 2 to 3 cards. Remember as Prez she can draw a card as a action without activating the location. So, she could draw 2 quorum cards and not discard any skill cards if she had skill cards worth holding on to.

As far as the basestars, see you jumped away from them. No problem.

Wonder what Boomer put on the bottom when all those cylons showed up?

Excellent, Laura! Drawing for arrest orders. Just the way you've been taught. Oops. I probably shouldn't have said that... :-/

Tenth

The activation line is wrong it wasn't Heavy raider but standard Raiders...

My, that board looks busy...

I gotta say, the way you do the board is awesome!

Thanks!

That was one of the main reasons I wanted to do this. I thought a visual representation of the board, turn by turn, would look neat. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it but I think it looks good nonetheless!

Despite declaring that you are NOT a cylon the other day. Now, after witnessing first hand your craftmanship in the recreation of the 2nd Cylon/Colonial war, I am not so sure that there isn't some Cylon in you after all. Excellent work, Human!!!

Best regards,
1010

P.S. Death to the Humans!

What a scary way to end the first round.

All I can say is

"JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPP"

Uh, yeah, my sentiments exactly. It's a bit crowded in this portion of space. :-/

"You can run, but you cannot hide," so sayeth the one true god, of whom I am a messenger... a messenger that brings death and destruction.

Warmest regards,

I see in the above image, the Piloting Skill deck is 11, when it should be 9. Apollo drew 2 Piloting cards but I missed it on the graphic update (the Master Excel sheet is correct). I don't think I am going to update it since I already started updating the next turn. But I wanted to point it out in case it confused those playing along at home or thought I had carried forward the error.

Oops, 1010, was that two hits at once on your base? Sorry about that.

Revel in your smugness whilst you may, my old friend. I assure you, retribution shall be swift, sweet, complete, and cold...so very, very cold...

1010

P.S. Edited to say, "Oh, and thank you for choosing to save that nuke. It would've been most unfortunate if you'd have destroyed the entire Basestar and the two remaining Raiders." I laugh at thy mistake. Bwahahaha

Doing some reviewing for the Cylon-hunt, and I wanted to point out that you forgot to note that Investigative Committee (4) was played by Roslin, for the sake of completeness.

Who needs nukes, 1010? Seems like I'm doing plenty fine with just my trusty Galactica.

No frakking comment!

Wow, now that I see the spoilers, Roslin really kept the food situation from getting much, much worse. Things might have been very different if we hadn't brigged her!

Yes, the Quorum deck was not kind to her. The shuffle was really bad. But her attitude didn't help her out and the brigging at least kept her in line!

To the hidden Cylons aboard Galactica:

Interesting - certainly makes Zarek look like he's above suspicion, considering he put the extra work into springing Boomer from the brig.

Sorry to nit pick Brian but it was -1 morale not population where you put Apollo's choice.

Edit; Holy clusterfrak Batman. Look at us all in the research lab.

Sorry. Posted it in the summary incorrectly. The graphic and my Excel sheet are correct.

EDIT: And now so is the summary.

Yeah, I'm waiting for tintin to pop in here with a "one good shot and you're all in sick bay".
