[srdaniel]

Ablative coat?

[Isgrimnur]

Yeah, there's that. Sorry, will correct.

[Isgrimnur]

Corrected, main post updated, hands are out for Turn 29 and all four are verified in my Outbox, so there shouldn't be any eaten PMs this time around.

[Remus West]

Not that I'm real excited about this but shouldn't Twonky get to shoot me in phase 4?

[Shinjin]

Looks like in Phase 4, I get to shoot Squash Bot (Proximity Mine is a Flat Device?) If so, looking over the orders I sent, Phase 4 would have been a Scrambler.

Not that I'm real excited about this but shouldn't Twonky get to shoot me in phase 4?

(I spent the last few minutes trying to confirm that I hadn't tossed the Scrambler in one of my Overload Override Suicides. If I hadn't already "pre-programmed" a Scrambler, I'd rather shoot you with the laser. A Move 2 would be fun for Twitch, so you'll likely get a Rotate Left and nail me for 2 instead - yet I'm sticking with the Scrambler )

[Isgrimnur]

Yup. Scrambler or laser. Damned long sightlines.

[Isgrimnur]

Luckily (for me) the next card on top of the deck is ...

U-TURN!

[Remus West]

Luckily (for me) the next card on top of the deck is ...

I would have been happier with a "rotate left" but I'll take that.

While I was working 13 shifts in seven days, I *COULD* get on at home at the cost of Sleep.

Why?

[Isgrimnur]

Just wondering. I hadn't seen an ezmate or anything other than side references to the phone internet. Sorry to hear you're having work issues. BTW, I need your hand when you get a chance. No rush.

[Shinjin]

Yeehawwww!

[Remus West]

Good Game. That was fun. Just couldn't get lucky enough with the cards to overcome Shinjin's option combo. That was just nasty.

[Isgrimnur]

Yeah, it was. Nothing like taking the drawbacks of both cards and turning them into a massive strength combo. Of course, it would have helped if someone could have shot him at some point to throw off the count and detonate the darn thing.
