((Er, forgot I have to be in that city to pick up. I'm not getting over there any time soon regardless.))

[Tables]

I also have Tokyo in hand, but remember you can only Archive in your current city. I could fly up to Tokyo to get ready to put another research station down though?

Alternatively, Davio could drive the long way to Seoul, and thus treat a cube there, while you deal with Chicago on your turn? I think that probably works best. I don't have a useful fourth action so I think I'll lock this one in.

Direct Flight to Jakarta (keep card)
Build Research Station in Jakarta

Tables (Troubleshooter) draws 2 cards.

Infector: Los Angeles, Lima



Player 1: Tables (Troubleshooter) 5 cards

Player 2: Davio (Containment Specialist) 3 cards

Player 3: mith (Archivist) 3 cards

Player 4: SwitchedFromStarcraft (Bio-Terrorist) 2 cards

SwitchedFromStarcraft (Bio-Terrorist) is next.

[Qvist]

I forgot to discard Jakarta. I will change that in the next update.

[mith]

Just realized I can get anywhere I want by going to Jakarta and picking up the card there. So Davio, feel free to hit whichever hot spot works best with your cards.

[Qvist]

Guys, I made a big mistake. I temporarily put SWS meeple on the board and updated the board while he was still on there. I think Tables was the only one online there and could see it.
But this goes still to @all: Have you seen him? Please be honest... for the fun of the game. If yes, I could either restart the game or he has the possibility to re-position.

[Tables]

I did not.

[Tables]

Assuming nobody else did see it,

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApPT0N9WtHcKdHlUaFR0Q1BlQ3JXclBuT2pudW5XS2c#gid=0

I've made it anyone can edit, but I'll try and update and post it as necessary.

[Qvist]

I'm offline for a couple of hours.

[mith]

I didn't see him.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

I didn't see him.

Qvist - I'm good with the notion that no one saw me.  Davio hasn't been online since yesterday, so we can rule him out.  No harm done, so I'm ok with continuing.

When you repost the game board into #52 (and I hope you will, for continuity), I assume the problem will be remedied.  Thanks for taking it down in the meantime.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Apologies to all for my earlier post offering to help. I didn't realize that I would not see your cards, so I apologize for making an offer that had no real value.

Because the rules specifically state (in the Etiquette section, of all places): "The Bio-Terrorist may taunt the other players on his turn...", I give you this:

GAME ON BABY!!

/taunt

I have completed my (meager) turn via PM to Qvist.  I will post each time that has occurred, so no one is left wondering.

[Tables]

I presume when you update Qvist, you'll also let us know any relevant information (e.g. infection in X, remote infection in Y, spotted in Z)

As long as Qvist promises to do an independent verification of what I supply (rather than just taking me at my word), I am willing to supply that information (as pre-confirmation) when I post that my turn is completed.  I can see no reason to not do so.  If there is such a reason, I will not repeat this error:

The next update should show:

a) a purple cube in Kinshasa
b) the Kinshasa card in the infection discard pile
c) absolutely no sign of me

I will stay out of updating your spreadsheet, but will advise everyone if I spot an error, as we have previously agreed.

[Tables]

Just to check (as we're entitled to know) was that a remote infection, or were you spotted in Kinshasa (direct/charter flight)?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

That's an excellent question, sorry for my flippant way of saying it was remote.  Such is implied, by the appearance of the Kinshasa card in the discard.  If I were in LA (I'm not), and infected locally in LA, the LA card would not go in the discard (in fact, I wouldn't have to have the card to infect LA), and you could intuit that I had infected locally.

I am also on the honor system to report (and/or remind Qvist to report) sightings of me.  I will do so, and will pay special attention to doing so correctly.

You could however, have infected LA directly, then charter flew away, or even direct flight in, then infect locally, so it's not as clear as you say. However, thanks for the update.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

And so that everyone is clear, I acknowledge that if I had started in LA (I didn't) and flown direct to Kinshasa to infect locally, I would have reported being sighted in Kinshasa (the arrival airport's "sighting" gets reported on a direct flight).  On a charter flight (e.g., I'm in LA and use the LA card to fly anywhere in the world), the "sighting" in the LA airport would be reported.

Agreed, see post #67 above.  I thought of that while digesting your question.  In any event, I was serious when I said "no sign of me".

Remember too, if I infect locally once, I cannot infect locally again on that turn, but I can infect remotely on that same turn.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

I'm going to check the VLA thread for any Davio posts. Will report back.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Nothing since Dec. 6, which is as far back as I went.  Maybe we will hear from him tonight, though it's already late where he is.

[Qvist]

Tables (Troubleshooter) draws 2 cards.

Bio-Terrorist: draws a card, purple cube on Kinshasa, Kinshasa goes on the Infection discard pile.

Infector: Los Angeles, Lima



Player 1: Tables (Troubleshooter) 4 cards

Player 2: Davio (Containment Specialist) 3 cards

Player 3: mith (Archivist) 3 cards

Player 4: SwitchedFromStarcraft (Bio-Terrorist) 2 cards

Discard: Jakarta

Davio (Containment Specialist) is next.

[Qvist]

Sorry for all the inconvenience. I'll be more careful now. I hope Davio will login soon.

Dude, you got nothing to apologize for, you are doing all the hard work.

What would you think of a minor tweak to the order of the 1st three lines of post #71?  If my move appeared on the third line, AFTER the infector cards that Tables drew, chronological order would be preserved, and I think it would be more clear as to what happened on each player's turn (his vs. mine).

Is this change worthwhile, and acceptable to everyone?

Makes sense obviously, thx for the hint.
