How long ago did I tell you guys that Grund was my partner? Only now do you believe me? Sheesh.

You know, giving it some thought, you should just airlock all of them. It is, after all, the only way to be sure.

Action One:
I will play "Presidential Pardon" and move Apollo/Stessier to the Hanger Deck.
With my other options being severely limited by being in the brig, I will instead fire up the good ole Cylon Detector and look at Roslin/Grundbegriff's loyalty cards.

Scoop can say whatever he wants. Whether it's true or not only he knows.
Edit: Well except if there is a cylon, human, or sympathizer, you can't say what the special ability, agenda, or extra. Just what the card is.

Re: BSG Boardgame Gameplay
Pretty sure quoting the ability of any cylon loyalty card would violate the secrecy aspect of the game. For example, you can't say 'i have an executive order' or 'i can put 10 points in that skill check' or share the knowledge of Crisis that others have no legitimate access to. Have to check the rules on that.

Intolerant: When an "Admiral's Quarters" skill check is passed by 10 or more, you may choose to execute that character instead of sending him to the "Brig"
Who needs the airlock when you have admiral Caine?

Re: BSG Boardgame Gameplay
Hey guys, sorry for the delay in processing. I'm jumping between projects for local and overseas clients, so my brain has been mush with no set sleeping schedule.
Of course, it didn't help that I had to at least try SC2. Anyway, I'll have the turns processed faster this weekend.
