I might also as well point out that the sabotage from our second toaster already has happened.
4. glasszon : President Tory Foster [10+5Q]
Tory Foster (Politics/3, Leadership/1, Tactics/1) Setup: (Press Room)
CRISIS: Joe's Bar
Skill check: POL/LEA/ENG = 12
I assume that it is either a Broadcast Location or By Your Command that he drew when we got TRE cards. That is also the likely reason why he made the check reckless.
You sure are quick to point the finger at me, I have done absolutely nothing post sleeper phase beside this skill test and now you claim I am a cylon before the skill check is even over? Either you are just over-anxious as a Human or it was a deliberate ploy by you as a cylon as now you just added in the treachery card to frame me. (Note I am not saying either way yet on this one, I rather not sow distrust among Humans without further evidence because we are in an excellent position right now and we don't need to mess up by pointing fingers at each other).
There is no perfect way to proof I am a Human, but consider the following points:
1: Jury Rigged is the best card I could have played in that situation, sure I could have put it in the check but (1) it lowers the difficulty by 4 and (2) everyone know the difficulty decreased by 4, hopefully that will deter the other cylons from considering spiking it. Of course the debate TNT is making is whether the trade-off is worth it since it makes the check reckless, I guess we will found out at the end of this skill check, but either way I hope that will give us more information as to who the potential hidden cylon might be.
2: If I am really a cylon, why would I have bothered playing first into this skill check when I am not the first player and turn order was not enforced? I could have just waited back until JL have played into the skill check and I would be free to sabotage as much as needed to make this skill check fail. (Even if JL won't play until everyone else have played into the skill check I could still get more information by waiting on King and TNT)
2b: If I am a cylon, then I can certainly spiked with more than 1 card, combine that with point 2 and I think my best play as a cylon would have been to play as late as possible and then spike into this check.
3: I only draw 1 Leadership each turn, do you expect me to put in 3 leadership cards into this check?
4: I told you guys before sleeper phase (if that matters) I can do further repairs, so that's why you won't see me contributing in 2 engineering either since it is vital to keep repair cards for repair.
5: Some of my politics card is better used for its text abilities and some is just downright stupid to put into a check without good reasons (red tape anyone?)
(I really wish I could just state what color I played into this skill check, but secrecy rules forbid that so I have to be vague on the last few points. GM: Please let me know if I have revealed too much information and I shall edit accordingly)
6: With Admiral sitting on full hands, I really thought he could handle this check by himself easily and was wondering why he looks so sad when that crisis popped up. I forgot to consider he did put in a leadership card back in another skill check and it was kind of replaced by the treachery card, so he really have 3 LEA, 6 TAC and 1 TRE instead of 4 LEA and 6 TAC when I thought he have when I made my play. (Not the first time I screwed up counting, like asking whether the Admiral have an XO when he have no cards in hand a while ago....)
7: I also wanted to get a bit more information on the Admiral since he holds 3 loyalty cards, with us being in such strong position the only person that can single-handedly swing the game in Cylon's favor is the admiral with his nukes and choosing destinations (there is a reason why Kiwi passed the extra loyalty card to our Admiral).
8: Saying someone is a cylon for one play you might not agree with is just going too far.
But having said all that, let's see how this skill check go first. Now that you have pointed it out to everyone, I suspect Kiwi and/or the other hidden Cylon would definitely put in Broadcast Location or By Your Command if they have them since they just now got a nice easy scapegoat, let's hope neither of them have that treachery card and I can prove myself clean 100%.
