Actually all I would have done is bounce off the wall at the corner of the belt I was on but this way I got to get to the wrench, heal, and move towards the second flag rather than be pinned back by flag 1 and shot a lot as everyone else gets there.

By the way Remus, I honestly thought you may have been considering a turn, followed by a series of Move 1/Backup using your Brakes to make Twitch glow.

:/ I'M STILL IN THE GAME!

Yeah, it's amazing how quick someone can get back in the game.

No one wants to shut down next turn, huh?

Waiting on one hand. If I get it in the near term, I will run the turn Saturday night.

That's Flag 3, not 2!!!

mipe wrote: Quick question: There are... White conveyors? how many spaces for turn to they move you?

All the belts on that board are normal, move 1 square. The round things are gears. They rotate you in the direction indicated. They activate after the belts move., so it's possible to be belt shifted onto a gear, then rotated by it.

No brakes, move on forward.

You would have to make me start updating all 4 boards....

Not unexpected, but makes me no less grumpy.

@ Spin bot: What are you doing with the wall anyway, with that close interaction?

Isgrimnur wrote:Weapon option to Twonky.

While wondering why Trundle Bot is fleeing the flag that he hasn't yet touched, Twonky considers vengefully matching a register lock. Instead he'll try to do him a favor with his Tractor Beam, drawing him closer.

Twonky's sure to feel sore on the next turn...

Roger. I'm going to forego updating the Phase 3 boards and proceed from there. Damage counts stand.

Option to Twonky: Heal 2 damage or receive an option card.

Isgrimnur wrote:Option to Twonky: Heal 2 damage or receive an option card.

This may seem like an odd choice, but I don't think I'll have much of a shot at surviving next round, so healing 2 points wouldn't help me out. Since I have to ditch an option when I die, it'll be nice to have on Option over what I'll lose.

Brave call.

Is the Option you lose on death randomly chosen? Because I really don't think that turret should be legal.

Player's choice.

Isgrimnur wrote:Player's choice.

I really outta bookmark that.

(Thanks!)

So how's the view of your pit, mipe?

I love this game.

I just bought it (the original) so we can play it at home.

Twonky has declared Shut Down for Turn 7. Turret is facing forward.

One question and one request.

Question: Does the turret allow him to fire his Tractor Beam any direction?

Request: Someone shoot Twonky. A lot. Please.

edit: Ignore the question as I went and looked at your previous post and saw the answer was yes. Gah. Reinforce the request.

going to same pit second time a row = not fun.

I'm glad you think so.

Oh, and my hand is in. Let's move it along slow pokes!!! With all that damage y'all are carrying, it's not like you have a lot of choices to make.

All I could do with the 5 cards I got...otherwise I could have walked in to the laser on the board.
