Make up your mind! I'm definitely more in favor of using the Grant to get easier access to Africa and SA, but I'll back your play if you want me to clear Baghdad.

Check my edit, you can get to Baghdad in 3, cure on 4 if you want by going through Miami.

You guys do that, I'll just draw Some Numbers cards here and... Hey! Things are getting interesting!  Delhi gets three disease cubesNow we're in a hurry. S.N., do you want to play One Quiet Night in response? The other card is San Francisco (Blue), but who cares about that.

I don't know if it would be a good idea or not, I really haven't played this game too much. We still good with the plan for me to go to Delhi and take the fourth red card from Berenzen, or are there higher priorities? I could treat in Delhi and he could give me the card, I can't cure this turn anyway.

Jedit posted:I don't know if it would be a good idea or not, I really haven't played this game too much. I'm pausing here because a) I'm not at home and b) because the Epidemic card is an unexpected event, and the next card I draw from the infection deck may cause an outbreak. It would be very bad manners on my part to make you guys eat one while you have the means to (possibly) prevent it for a turn. After this turn, you know the cards that were on the discard pile are going to be dealt again soon-ish, so I'm not going to ask before the next Epidemic card appears. Again, this has nothing to do with whether I consider a good or bad move to burn the card.

Our only two problem cities are Kinsasha and Delhi. There is nothing anyone can do to get to Delhi to save me from getting a scar; and nobody can get to Kinshasa before Stelas' turn anyway.

OK, I'm discarding anyway so no point discarding two. Move TAI-HK Move HK-KOL Move KOL-DEL Treat Will figure out what to discard when I see what I've drawn, but when Berenzen trades I'll be in a research station with four red cards. Berenzen - if I draw a red card myself I still want Sydney because my next target is yellow. I'm happy to do the cleanup in exchange for being one move away.

Early January, turn 05 A sudden outbreak of disease in Delhi opens up yet another front for the CDC. The containment is beginning to fail, and unless the infection rates are lowered, outbreaks are expected in some cities sooner rather than later. For now, the WHO approves a special aid package, sending personnel to the most troublesome areas, preventing further infections and giving the CDC some breathing room. Some Numbers pulls our first Epidemic card and infects Delhi. The other player card is San Francisco (Blue). Some Numbers plays One Quiet Night to skip the Infection Phase I forgot to move the infection marker up in the maps, will be fixed next turn. January Objective: Find the cures for the 4 diseases.  Cards in the player deck: 41 Blue Cubes: 17 Yellow Cubes: 18 Black Cubes: 17 Red Cubes: 21 Disease Deck Discards:
Player Deck Discards:
Player Hands Medic - Some Numbers - Orange - Baghdad

Early January, turn 06 WHO's help give the CDC enough time to move some teams to Delhi and control the disease there somewhat, leaving only the situation in Africa as an emergency. Not everything is good news, though. The CDC receives increasingly disturbing reports that COdA-403a, the disease rampaging through North America and Europe is becoming more and more difficult to treat, mutating faster than the teams can develop cures. Worse than that, it seems that a virulent strain has appeared at Atlanta, CDC's headquarters, and is spreading to nearby areas with sick people fleeing the city. Jedit moves to Dehli and treats the disease there. Jedit draws Osaka (Red) and EpidemicEpidemic strikes in Atlanta, placing 3 blue cubes there. Without any other card in the disease discard deck, we draw Atlanta again during the infection phase, and the city suffers an outbreak. We also draw a Bangkok (Red) card. As per the Legacy Deck instructions (draw this card after resolving the second Epidemic card in your first game), we draw a card: Legacy Deck posted:Our worst fears have come to pass. The disease with most cubes on the board is now called COdA-403a. The cure for this disease cannot be found with the current techniques. You can treat the illness, but it has become resistant to treatment. The players who take a "Treat Disease" action must spend 2 actions to do so. January Objective: Find the cures for the 3 "normal" diseases.  Cards in the player deck: 39 Blue Cubes: 11 Yellow Cubes: 18 Black Cubes: 17 Red Cubes: 20 Disease Deck Discards:
Player Deck Discards:
Player Hands Medic - Some Numbers - Orange - Baghdad
Huge Map  Stelas, fix this mess, will you? So, that happened. Did I mention that objectives can change halfway trough the month? The game is kind of a dick. No more Legacy Cards will be drawn before the end of the game.

 this is a silly question; which disease is coda this campaign? Blue?Also, super important reminder: eradicating diseases is VITAL in this game. Because the firs time you eradicate a disease you get to NAME that disease. Because naming them means you can do things like Big Fever in Little China for red, or Pox Romana for blue, as my group did.  This is in the non-spoiler base rules, and I'm...partly joking. But naming the diseases was a huge plus to our enjoyment.

Jedit posted:So if Stelas moves to Bangkok and treats twice and Berenzen passes me Sydney so I can fly there, we can both cure and eradicate Red? These are both good (looking at the rules we really don't want a research centre to start getting too much panic) but I wonder if it might be more useful for me to move to Sydney instead because that frees me up to move Numbers once - which allows Numbers to clear Atlanta on his turn. Something like: I move to Sydney, clear, and move Numbers to Tehran. Berenzen clears Delhi and questionmark questionmark Jedit makes red cure, moves twice to Bangkok, clears, yay red is gone Numbers moves to Delhi, flies to Atlanta, clears it y/n?

For those who are interested, the physical game comes with several way to "unlock" things: The Legacy deck tells the story of the game. You draw cards as the game tells you. The two objective cards (cure 4 diseases and cure 3 diseases) and the thing about COdA came from here. Occasionally there will be a number on the card, which tells you to open a slot from the Top Secret dossiers:  These are pretty cool. We've opened number 19, which is a small one that contains a sticker that says "This disease is COdA. Put the sticker on the board to remind you that it takes 2 actions to treat it." And finally, the box itself:  There are 8 boxes to open when the Legacy deck tells you to. The yellow sticker in box number 8 is placed there before you start your first game and says "open if you lose 4 games in a row". I do not recommend trying to open it. silvergoose posted:
Blue, yes. I probably should write it down somewhere. I'm working on a rules post to slap somewhere in the first posts, so I can have updated rules (for example, COdA is going to take 2 actions to treat ), because things are only going to get more complex. silvergoose posted:Also, super important reminder: eradicating diseases is VITAL in this game. Because the firs time you eradicate a disease you get to NAME that disease. Because naming them means you can do things like Big Fever in Little China for red, or Pox Romana for blue, as my group did. While silvergoose is right, because I'm going to get sick of calling them Red Cubes and Blue Disease pretty soon, remember that you don't need to eradicate the three non-COdA diseases. Just find a cure for them.

What if I head to Kinshasa instead to deal with that mess instead, so we don't risk an outbreak there? I can clear out a cube off of Delhi, or give Jedit Sydney as well.

Totally fair, I just think it's a bit more beneficial if I hit Sydney instead of Jedit rather than moving twice. I really want Numbers to get to Atlanta because as far as I can tell having it hit panic 2 would start to suck. Move to Sydney Treat Treat Move Numbers to Tehran

Two things: - To speed up things, all the players should feel free to call for the use of Forecast, and I'll use the card if Stelas agrees. - Stelas, please check the Dispatcher's abilities and confirm your turn, please. I hate doing this, but this seems like a clear rules misunderstanding to me, which I thing has a lot to do with the PbP format. Davin Valkri posted:I meant more that naming a virus "coda", ending, sounds freakishly ominous, like GUILT, Stigma, or Rosalia from Trauma Center. Listen, pal, the virus is the Cananeia Ourem Dasychira Argentata in sciencey speak, the acronym is a mere coincidence. This is how Things are Done. Do you think the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. actually sat down and chose a cool acronym before christening the agency? I have full confidence in our group to fix this before it gets any worse.
