Pandemic (Victory!)

[the worst]

George's abilities might be more useful in North America given that it's more of a hot zone.

That's where I'm at by suggesting you/Nancy in Tokyo + George/I in NA, for the record.
Very minor benefit to Nancy handling the red cure due to hand size etc., but I think the mitigation effect is more useful on that side.

I'm not really needed in the red zone right now, so apart from handing off Tokyo, I'd probably aim to head to North America after that, depending on how things develop.

Sounds ace. My biggest issue is having really nobody across the black zone, but we can probably play that by ear this turn. Something tells me that the black virus is the sleeper threat here, but as long as it doesn't get out of control, then it's probably manageable.
The fact you're holding two black cards does make me feel a bit less daunted by it. They're not in immediate danger tbf, but going Instanbul => Algiers* => Treat next turn if needed is a cool clutch.

* I think it's Algiers? It's in the right place, but I mean "Alg..." at the top of Africa with 2 black infections.

Forgot: once Blue is cured, cleaning it up would be easier. I think that once it's cured, everyone else basically gets my level of treatment skill, while I no longer need to spend actions at all to treat. So maybe I wouldn't be needed there at all ... ?

Ooh. Perhaps you would just be well placed in Europe/Africa?

[Farren]

Between the three black hotspots right now, I've got cards next to two of them, and the third one's on a research station. Given that black's already cured, we should be able to keep it under control, I think.

As an added bonus, Chennai is also next to Bangkok, if that starts looking like a problem.

Hm. So let's see.

1) Move to Kinshasa
2) Treat Kinshasa
3) Card to SF
4) Move to Tokyo (in preparation for giving Nancy the Tokyo card)

That's not official yet, but that's my current plan. Will give everyone else a little more time to weigh in, then submit later tonight unless there's new ideas.

[the worst]

Looks great

[Farren]

Official Move

1) Move to Kinshasa
2) Treat Disease - Kinshasa
3) Move to San Francisco (playing the San Francisco card)
4) Move to Tokyo

[lendunistus]

Player cards: Sao Paulo and Santiago

Infections: Cairo, Moscow

Discard pile:



Current Turn: Turn 3.3, Scientist: Nancy Drew 39

[Farren]

That map shows me still being in Kinshasa; I should be in Tokyo.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Okay everyone, I need your help please and thank you.

[Farren]

Okay everyone, I need your help please and thank you.

Short-term, there are some cubes nearby that you could clear out. Khartoum, Lagos, Cairo, Riyadh, and Algiers all have cubes and are nearby. The black disease has been cured, so it would only take you one action to clear a city with two cubes - but those cities are further away.

Long-term, you should be thinking about trying to cure either the Red or Yellow disease. Right now, I don't think you can make any immediate progress towards that, but it's something to keep in mind for future turns. I'm currently on standby in Tokyo (or will be, as soon as the map's properly updated) with a Tokyo card to assist with Red. That'll require the worst's assistance on his next turn.

[Nancy Drew 39]

But how do I decide which course of action is best? If people agree on a particular course of action, I’ll probably just do that then.

[Farren]

For the long-term decision: I think Red would be a better bet for you to work on. You've already got one red card, and you've got me on standby waiting to give you another. That will put you 50% of the way to curing Red. You are in the Yellow region now, though, and if you start drawing Yellow cards that could start looking like a better idea. (Or you could draw Red cards, making Red an even better option. No way of knowing which will happen!)

For the short-term decision: If you decide on Red for the long-term decision, clearing out nearby cubes is the best short-term decision. I'd consider these two options:

1) Treat Disease (Khartoum)
2) Move to Cairo
3a) Move to Algiers
4a) Treat Algiers

OR

3b) Move to Riyadh
4b) Treat Riyadh

Lagos and Cairo can't grow while George is nearby, so I think they're less of a priority. (Neither can Khartoum, but you're already there, so it's easy to treat efficiently.)

Riyadh has a research center, which makes getting there for people a little bit easier in general. Based on that I'd lean Algiers over Riyadh.

If you decide on Yellow for the long term decision, you'll probably want to stay in the Yellow area to make it easier to move cards around there. I think that'll require more coordination to work out, given where all the yellow cards are right now.

[the worst]

All of Farren's feedback is awesome. If you have ideas about what you could do, feel free to speak up about them. We can plan as much as we need, so there's no bad ideas - just ideas. We can also help plan stuff out.

1) Treat Disease (Khartoum)
2) Move to Cairo
3a) Move to Algiers
4a) Treat Algiers

I had a look at how I'd do Nancy's turn before I read your recommendations, and this is what I came to.

If Farren cosigns on this, that’s what I will submit.

[Farren]

/co-sign.

And yes, seconding what the worst said. I don't want you to feel like we're robbing you of your agency.

I don’t believe you are, I’m extremely grateful for all of the help I can get.

[Nancy Drew 39]

1) Treat Disease (Khartoum)
2) Move to Cairo
3a) Move to Algiers
4a) Treat Algiers

@mod, I submit these actions.

[Farren]

@mod

That map shows me still being in Kinshasa; I should be in Tokyo.

Also shows that I still have the San Francisco card when I shouldn't.
Want to make sure this is fixed before processing Nancy's turn,

since it sounds like she's ready to submit

.

(PEdit> strikethrough)

[GeorgeBailey]

Yeah I think my aim should be to end my turn on Toronto?

Like it only would take 2 draws to have an outbreak in NA. Then I'll just camp SA since it's close by.

[lendunistus]

will try to get an update in during this weekend

[lendunistus]

i'll get to it tomorrow

[lendunistus]

Player card draws: Chicago, Cairo

Infections: Sydney, Osaka

Discard pile:



Current turn: Turn 3.4, Quarantine Specialist: GeorgeBailey

[lendunistus]

errors related to Farren's cards and position should be fixed

[GeorgeBailey]

I was just thinking

1.Cairo
2.Riyadh
3. Shuttle to Atlanta
4. Washington
5. Toronto

How does that sound?

[Farren]

You only get four moves, not five.

The Mexico City card could get you to Toronto in 3, if you're willing to spend it; would leave you an extra move to Treat in either Chicago or Toronto itself. (Probably Chicago, since the worst will be curing Blue next round?)

Without the card, I think you could get to just about any of Toronto's neighbors, but not Toronto itself?

[GeorgeBailey]

Oh right right my b.

1. Move to Cairo
2. Move to Riyadh
3. Shuttle to Atlanta
4. Move to Chicago

Chicago seems like a better choice to end on since if we want to rush yellow I'm right next to Mexico city. Plus I'm connected to 6 cities.

Is there a point in treating if it'll be cured soon?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Got a pm, so anyone want to ask me anything?
