When dealing with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], it is very important to know how to '''Spot the Cylon'''.  Being able to Spot the Cylon is of the most vital importance!  It can make the difference between life and a very boring speech about [[Cylon Religion|monotheism]].

[[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Some Cylons]] fly.  These Cylons are harder to spot.  They look almost, but not quite entirely, nothing like [[wikipedia:Cadbury's Creme Egg|Cadbury Eggs]] with pointy bits on the outside and smooth creamy badness on the inside.  If you see hundreds of these flying at you, despair not.  They are quite easy to kill.

Some Cylons look like humans.  ''Uh-oh.''  These Cylons are much more difficult to spot.  But do not despair!  Even if they appear to be human, there are still several sure-fire methods to '''Spot the Cylon'''.

Humano-Cylons do not like [[flashlight]]s.  Waving a flashlight at a Cylon might cause it to react poorly.

===Call it a Toaster===
Humano-Cylons do not like being called [[toaster]]s.  Interestingly, toasters do not like being called Cylons.  While calling a toaster a Cylon might involve your toast being over-done, calling a Cylon a toaster might involve you being over and done.

All Humano-Cylons are either hot mamas or complete studs.  One of them resembles a young [[Aaron Doral|Kevin Spacey]].  We understand if you don't much care for Brother [[Cavil]]— he is, after all, that most rare of breeds, an honest atheist priest (you may have noticed most atheist priests are not honest).

If you think metal Cylons are hot, no one likes you— sicko.

When in the process of knocking up a Humano-Cylon, the Humano-Cylon's spine glows red (Note: this is a good reason to install mirrors on ceilings). Although it would seem like it might be difficult to seduce a hot mama Cylon, take heart! This is not true! This brings us to our next point:

It is ridiculously easy to seduce a Cylon.  Even complete nerds like {{callsign|Helo}} can seduce a [[Sharon Agathon|Cylon]].  Hang in there!

You might even get really lucky and score the grand prize: a [[Hero|threesome]] with [[Six]] and [[Three]] ... of course, you'll have to betray the entire human race not [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|once]], but [[Occupation|twice]], as well as suffer horrific [[A Measure of Salvation|torture]] beforehand. Oh well; no pain, no gain ... right?

===Twins===
Some Cylons are twins of each other.  If you see a set of hot mama or complete stud twins standing next to each other, chances are they are Cylons!  Commence shooting on sight.  If you are mistaken, blame the [[chamalla]].  You'll probably get away with it.  If you don't, don't worry, it's not the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|end of the world]].

If you notice people wandering around in a daze, claiming to hear [[The Music|music]] that does not exist, prime up the nearest [[airlock]] or [[launch tube (RDM)|launch tube]] and give them the "[[Jammer]] Treatment". Make the [[Laura Roslin|President]] proud!

[[File:Hybrid.jpg|left|100px]]
Some Cylons like to live in bathtubs. If you see a person in a bathtub wearing a water-polo hat, ask a question. No, it doesn't matter, any question. If the answer is something like "the eye of the husband of the eye of the cow," you are dealing with a Cylon. Don't worry, these Cylons [[The Eye of Jupiter|don't get a vote]], but you can give them a Colonial voter registration card.  Made of lead.{{clear}}
