So after Helobot fraks us over if he doesn't reveal should I quorum farm or try & airlock him? With Tigh it's a 9 but SN will have a full hand to spike it and we've got almost nothing. Leaning towards farming.

Why do you guys keep talking about executing me? I'm getting the distinct impression that you don't like me and that makes me really sad. :(

His turn is skipped this round, and next round he's going to reveal as soon as he gets back to Galactica. Quorum farming is best. (Like he said, we could Airlock him but it just maybe got blown up?)

Well we can't throw Helo in the brig until he's actually here, but we can throw him out the Airlock. That is, however, a lot of cards that we currently do not have. Probably best to just start making GBS threads XO's all over Baltar in the hopes we get some good quorum cards.

It would be the safe play, the ideal play is me moving to Comms, XO'ing someone, and then we get a crisis with no raider activation.

But deck cylon hates us, so I'm not inclined to take that risk.
