I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

PANDEMIC

How about:

Shanghai
London
Chicago
Algiers
San Francisco
Baghdad

Chicago's not much of a worry and we'll have a cure soon. Algiers is more accessible than Baghdad, so let's have Baghdad last.

Sound good?

Sounds good to me. Glad we did Forecast.

FYI, I have a medical procedure this morning so I will not be around until maybe tomorrow.

In general, I will be a bit slow. I'm in the crunch time for a software release.

No rush, it's all good. Meanwhile, arrange the cards as given above.

It has been done.

No surprises on where infection spreads. The Red Death tries to blow up Shanghai, but bounces off. The Blue Fever strikes London, infecting a cube's worth of people.

So the QS is going to get the fifth Black card, but she still needs a research station. It looks like I can Airlift to Mumbai, clear out the zombies, and get to Bangkok to build a station. What do you guys think?

I'm feeling good about this. Blue cure on the way, Black cure on the way... what could go wrong?

Much as I hate to use up airlift, that clears out a hot spot and gets us to a black cure even before blue, which is amazing. The one flaw is that will make SF blow and bring Chicago to the brink before I can airlift myself somewhere. You could do a similar plan to clear SF and build in Osaka, and then I could cure blue and take care of Mumbai on my turn (since we know that the earliest Mumbai will get hit is after my turn). Osaka is not the most convenient place for a station, but I could also build in Mumbai on my turn.
