Sorry catching up on much-needed sleep.

Are we agreed on making Mumbai resiliant and having a quiet night?

Yes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

PANDEMIC

In that case, I shall make the order. Resiliate Mumbai.

How do people feel about One Quiet Night? Use it now?

Yes. In my experience of a ridiculous number of hours playing this game since buying it (was that really only last week?), the chances of drawing the city just hit are suspiciously high.

I think so. If Chennai comes up it's game over, man, game over.

So, I am sharing knowledge with the Researcher, flying to Jakarta, moving to and treating Chennai, on the assumption that the Dispatcher will go to Bangkok and pull me there & share on their turn, correct?

Man, I think we screwed up. If I'd held onto that Cairo card, you could give me Algiers now, and then I could grab Istanbul and do the cure on my next turn.

Anyway, yes. Grab Istanbul and defuse Chennai.

I did suggest that, but, really, there was no way to know.

Yeah, I had as much chance of drawing Black as you did. This way we had a 50/50 chance of being able to end the game right now. All you can do is try to play the odds.
