Lords is probably gonna be very busy with stopping the INvaders from getting the generator, they almost have it by now, and not entirely sure what the best actions here are. If they get it we lose control over the energy again. I think we have enough stuff to build a third one, but that uses up more oil, which is a precious resource already, and the Invaders is just gonna aim for that one too.

[kaempfer13]

remember the influence rules: there are ways where most (unfortunately not all) moves of the invaders go nowhere, because your expand overrides theirs and tiles no longer connected to a room in their territory vanish. if you take control of E 23, then c17 there is a 50% chance the invaders territory is compromised (theoretically, they probably go for the generator first, as their moves are not completely random).

[Fippe94]

Pretty sure they're gonna go for the generator first action, which means my first action have to be to take F23 to stop them from doing that.

[kaempfer13]

so:
1: F22 south
2: E22 south pretty much ensures your generators immediate safety
(if they went for E22 or G23 first they are still dangerous)

[Fippe94]

Probably yes. Unless they in action 2 retake F23 (if they can do that)

[kaempfer13]

they can but it has no influence and fizzles unless they went to G23

Can't they just have it if they're going to fuel it? I don't fancy a repeat of my attempt to fight them for it.

I finally figured it was time to start paying attention again and maybe help out.

I asked onion a few questions about ways to fight the fire from the west side of it (he wasn't as informative as I wanted), but I might have an idea to attempt. We will need narcotics or an energy drink if someone can spare so that we can get to V15 and still have enough actions for fighting the fire. We have the surgical mask and gas mask so are not worried about the pollution yet if this works.

Is anyone able to donate an Energy drink, or Narcotics? Either would work as we plan to go straight down corridor V.

[kaempfer13]

we obviously need every narcotics we can get , but we can probably spare an energy drink. Got a new idea for when you get there? or do you still need rctc+bricklaying bomb do deal with the fire from a pollution level 4 tile(masks dont stack, level 3 is the best you can survive and v15 is too far away for detonation)? Its still preferable to using teleporter (total effective loss of 5 actions) and needing rctc anyway. If we could somehow organize a second bricklaying bomb detonations in z16 +either x13 or w14 do the trick if the fire doesnt move; we have 2 (3 even apparently) rctcs, so that part can be done, its the bricks we are short on.

Is there any reason to keep the method how you intend to fight the fire a secret?

Currently our plan is to use the expanding foam with a self created Chemical bomb to suppress the fire with the hopes of eliminating the oxygen will eliminate the flames.

[kaempfer13]

may we know the description of chem bomb? Usually when CO doesnt say much that seems immediately helpfull about it (unless its a 'sure, do that', that can mean you nailed it- or not) you are still doing sth wrong, but maybe if we apply it differently it might work.
