Ok, I am using my special ability to draw 1 Blue Card.

The interesting part is that if he does denounce me, then people will know that at least one of us is a Cylon. Which is more information that the humans had before, and hence useful - so there is a chance that if Grumbler is a cylon, he won't say I am one even if I am not.
True, but the benefits of having a player brigged outweigh the disadvantages of having people merely suspect that I am a Cylon (which they do anyway).  If you are brigged, the Admiral's title passes to another player (and if you are not a Cylon, there is still a small chance you would be passing it to the second Cylon player, which would be good for me as a Cylon).  Humans would be less able to pass skill checks of one of them is brigged.

The only way this could work against me as a Cylon is if someone else gets to view your loyalty card, and in that case they could as easily look at mine.

So, there is some info passed on by brigging the Admiral, but not enough, IMO, to outweigh the advantages to me were I a Cylon.

Okay, I'm here. What do we want to do, loves? I'm leaning to the skill card drop although that could bite us in the ass if we get so more gnarly crisis cards. Thoughts?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

garbon: yay!

BB: the card is a presidental decision on food shortage: either -2 food, or -1 food and garbond discard 2 cards and Marty discards 3

We are on 4 on the jump track, and the 5 lost cards would be the lowest-denomination/most useless actions, so I also am inclined to drop the cards.

Agreed - marty has 8 cards, ditching the 3 lowest ones sucks, but isn't THAT bad.

On the other hand, the difference is only 1 food,so the tradeoff here is 5 cards for 1 food. Hmmm....

This isn't a military matter, so I will refrain from lecturing the President on what she should do.

That was my thought.  We have 8 food, this reduces us to 7 or 6.

But I gather it's hard to gain any extra food, so I suppose we should try and preserve it.

5 cards for a resource isn't such an atypical trade, as far as I can see, and this time we get to drop the worst ones rather than the best.

Consider that most of you draw around 5 cards per turn so the real threat here is if the next crisis cuts into roslin's and baltar's speciality

I'm willing to make the sacrifice for the good of the fleet. -_-

Only a true human would do something so self-sacrificing!

Or a Cylon.

They aren't my cards, but after thinking about it we should drop the cards.

Okay, we're going to go rationing. I'll PM you my card drop Tamas. Do the same if you will, Marty.  Your graciousness in our time of need will not be forgotten.

I'd also like to thank the Admiral for his advice. :)

Alright, food rationing is enacted in the fleet.

The 3 raiders in Zone 1 move to Zone 2, and jump computing progresses.

Jacob will receive his carddraw shortly
