Everybody in Tokyo needs to make a beeline for San Fran and close that gate. Everybody in London, to Istanbul. Then we hope we close both of them this round AND survive the Mythos phase.
That said
Our best chance of winning the game probably comes from somebody getting that Silver Twilight Ritual. I can't tell who would be best to try that because all the character sheets are missing this round. You (jdarksun) probably have a good shot, given your thievery items, but that risks leaving only two people on the San Fran gate.
Probably our best bet is for Phobos to use Conjuration to get the item and then Plumb the Void to get himself to a gate.
OK that was weird, my roll is up in my original post now, 0 successess. I guess I'll go into debt to pick up the Kerosene and then Travel to Istanbul using my ticket, and mythos encounter for both myself and mi-go
It's been a while. What was our game plan again? We all head to Istanbul, pray for a gate marker swap and then close that gate?

Race to Istanbul (or San Fran), close that gate right now, and pray the Mythos doesn't kill us or doom us. If you have the spare action, try and get the Silver Twilight card to roll back the doom by one (or make yourself less likely to die from sudden damage of either type).

@MrBody We need to switch mi-go hunter's turn. Mi-Go is currently set to get a train ticket and use it to move to Istanbul, which is impossible from starting position. Instead, Mi-Go needs to get a ship ticket and use it to move to San Fran (and still take a gate encounter).
1-You can move me so I can help close the San Fran gate, but then you won't be able to help close the gate and you're blessed and I'm not, even though my stats are a little better.
2-You can teleport nobody and instead just move yourself there normally via a ticket and help close the gate.
3-You can use your clue action to give your second clue to Phobos (who might just be able to use it with his influence to get that Silver Twilight Ritual) and teleport yourself to San Fran to help close the gate.
4-You can use your clue action to give your second clue to Phobos and teleport him to San Fran to help close the gate (but he's not blessed either).
Either way I think you should get to San Fran (options 2 or 3), so the question is really whether you think we need Phobos at Istanbul or not. Without him we'll have 3 players on each gate (assuming you get there), so we have a good chance of closing both of them. (If you give him a clue and he rolls influence, he won't be able to get to Istanbul. Otherwise he definitely will but we'll have no chance at the Silver Twilight Ritual and we'll be one doom away from, uh, doom.)
So it's entirely up to you, but I would use your best judgment and do either 2 or 3.
3-You can use your clue action to give your second clue to Phobos (who might just be able to use it with his influence to get that Silver Twilight Ritual) and teleport yourself to San Fran to help close the gate.
Mages gotta teleport!
Give clue to Phobos

yessss
Take a debt, Phobos! Remove the Doom!
Also, it's kinda hard to tell on the map, but it looks like there are no monsters on San Fran but a Warlock on Istanbul, so zapping the Warlock would be good.

@ObiFett There are basically four options.
1-You can move me so I can help close the San Fran gate, but then you won't be able to help close the gate and you're blessed and I'm not, even though my stats are a little better.
2-You can teleport nobody and instead just move yourself there normally via a ticket and help close the gate.
3-You can use your clue action to give your second clue to Phobos (who might just be able to use it with his influence to get that Silver Twilight Ritual) and teleport yourself to San Fran to help close the gate.

Then I will take a London Encounter.
