Next time it's my turn I am curing black! The luck I am getting in this game totally balances out the luck I am having in the BSG one.

Moscow

Paris
Osaka
Atlanta
London
Istanbul
Seoul
[strike]Bangkok[/strike]
[strike]Mumbai[/strike]
[strike]Bogota[/strike]
[strike]Cairo[/strike]
[strike]Shanghai[/strike]

[strike]San Francisco[/strike]
[strike]New York[/strike]
[strike]Taipei[/strike]
[strike]Sydney[/strike]
I guess Ianator should try setting up trades with other people on his turn. My hand is already very full with six cards, but it will soon be empty again. If you could try to pick up blue or oranges from other people to get to be Ianator that could maybe work.
Don't cute Black until the rest of us can Treat it. We need to Eradicate it if we can!
I think after I cure it we can treat the remaining cubes to eradicate it as well. But maybe I'm interpreting the rules wrong.

Since Inquisitor's hand is so full right now, I'm going to hold my Blues for now and make a Research Center in Shanghai. That'll give us a good spread for Shuttle Flights, plus another place to research cures.
Any other suggestions?

We have quite a few event cards that will let us survive the next Epidemic mostly unscathed (One Quiet Night, I can rearrange the top of the deck, etc).
Also Krata can slap down a research center anywhere on the board, meaning if an area does get really bad we can just place a research center there to relocate quickly too.
Another idea that just came to me is playing resilient population on the city where the epidemic hits. That way it can't be drawn again thus triggering and outbreak.
Edit: I'm kind of thinking an all out special card blitz might be in order when the next epidemic hits.
You know, all quiet night so there are no draws on that turn. Then remove the city that got hit from the epidemic from the list, and then arrange the top six how we like. Wham bam, instant damage control. The epidemic shouldn't even put a dent in our stride and we should get black and blue/orange cured in no time.
Lots of good ideas. If you Resilient Population the only city with 3 cubes on it, we're safe until a city has 3. When a city has 3, we can use One Silent Night. Turn after that I can use Forecast, though it is likely that someone will have treated the 3-cube city already.
Action Point 1: Drive to Cairo.
Action Point 2: Treat Cairo. Become Hero of Cairo too.
Action Point 3: Shuttle from Cairo's Research CEnter to the CDC in Atlanta.
Action Point 4: Treat Atlana, to great American applause.

Two more and I can Cure Blue. If anyone wants to hope over here and help me clean them out (and then if Ianator wants to send me his two), we can Eradicate blue inside of another two rounds if we get lucky.
I'm oing to do damahge control over here on my next turn as mucha s I can.
Welp, now we need to start using event cards... I can use Airlift to let Inquisitor reach Kolkata and Paris, but he can cure black this turn so maybe now is the time for Quiet Night or Forecast.
edit: Wait, Kolkata is safe forever! /facepalm
And Paris was just drawn, so, also safe... You'd never know that I own this game!
1. Move to Karachi
2. Move to Riyadh
3. Move to Cairo
4. Cure the black disease!
Fuck yeah!
Bamf!
Black's cured!

Well, looks like blue and orange need some cleaning up. But let's not neglect trading.
Also, remember hand sizes cap at 7 so, you guys will wanting to be playing cards soon.

Hmm... I've got a little situation.
Krata's next, right? I could take a shuttle to Atlanta and give him my Blues, but he'd be a bit over max hand size, either using or discarding two cards. I'm thinking he could use his One Quiet Night and discard Cairo to fit enough Blues to get another cure.
Any more ideas?

Cool, every things looking pretty solid for now. We probably should be getting ready for another epidemic soon though, it has been a while.
Krata and Akinos, you two should probably focus on clearing out some cubes or playing any cool relevant action cards you have.
Ianator and Akinos are well poised to go treat outbreaks anywhere right now, as you can hop between research stations easily.
edit: Are we playing with 4 or 5 Epidemics?
Good times.
Edit: I think we are playing with 4.
Like, say, when the next Epidemic hits, do you want to automatically use One Quiet Night to stop the Infector for that turn?
EDIT: And yeah, we're playing with four. With the luck you guys have had, you probably could've taken five.

And there's the Epidemic we were waiting for. It's going to hit Kolkata, for three black cubes.
I'm guessing some special cards would like to be played now?

But i'm saving One Quiet Night for now. And praying.
Well, Ianator tossed out the only city with 3 cubes, and there is only one card for each city... At least, I hope so... :P

I mean, it will basically delay the infections by one turn for the rest of the game so, it's not really a waste.
1. Shuttle Flight to Atlanta
2. Give Krata my St. Petersburg
3. Give Krata my San Francisco
4. Drive to Washington to get a head start on ERADICATION!
