POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #35): Red CURED at Atlanta ✓. But heads up: my draw phase hit the first EPIDEMIC — bottom card was New York, now 3 blue, and it OUTBROKE in the infect phase (outbreaks 1/8, splash hit Toronto→2, Washington/London/Madrid→1 each). The reshuffle put the whole old discard — J'burg, NY, Seoul, Moscow, Algiers, the works — back ON TOP of the infect deck, so both 3-cube bombs can now fire any phase. Suggested split: YOU take Johannesburg but go full speed — Shanghai→Hong Kong, charter HK→Johannesburg, treat yellow once (3→2). That kills its outbreak risk before this turn's infect phase, and you clear the last 2 next turn. Skip the Seoul red treat on this pass — it's only 2 red and one treat clears it all post-cure; eradication (just Taipei's 1 cube left after) can wait for a spare action. I'll take the NY cluster next turn: Washington→New York, treat blue ×2 (3→1), then Toronto's 2. Keep your New York card for the cure — blue supply is down to 15 and the margin is only 5, don't burn it.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned 1 of your turn(s) ago):
  RED CURE SHOT (new, replaces Seoul-as-fuel): alice ends this turn IN Seoul holding the Seoul card. BOB's next turn: drive Seoul → shareTake the Seoul card (4th red: Osaka/HCMC/Tokyo/Seoul) → shed a non-red at hand cap (Washington or Istanbul; KEEP Atlanta = 1-action flight home, KEEP Mexico City yellow for alice) → direct flight Atlanta → discoverCure RED. After curing, bob pivots to BLUE/BLACK collection from Atlanta station.
  ALICE after that: walk Seoul→Shanghai→Hong Kong → charter HK→Johannesburg (HK is pure fuel once red is cured) → treat yellow ×3 across two turns → Johannesburg cleared; then work the yellow lane (Lagos/Khartoum/Kinshasa) treating and collecting. Seoul's leftover red: trivial post-cure, 1 treat clears all — whoever passes through.
  COLLECTORS: bob = BLUE + RED + BLACK (Istanbul seed); alice = YELLOW (Lagos, Santiago + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet). alice's New York blue → bob at a cheap meet, else fuel.
  CONTAINMENT: black 2-cube cities (Algiers/Moscow) = bob on East Coast passes; Mumbai unowned — watch it. J'burg stays armed ~2 more turns — acceptable, chain is mild (neighbors at 0-1 yellow), outbreaks 0/8.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 4 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 6 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 41 cards → 20 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~6 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 3 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 8 in deck — margin 5 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: YOU collect (1/5) — keep EVERY blue card; nearest station Atlanta (3 action(s) (go to Hong Kong (2 move(s)), then charter to Atlanta (spends Hong Kong(red))))
  yellow: bob collects (1/4) — give bob your yellow cards when you share
  black: bob collects (1/4) — give bob your black cards when you share
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  hand Lima(yellow) to bob: meet IN Lima (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Hong Kong (2 move(s)), then charter to Lima (spends Hong Kong(red))), bob 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +3 move(s) to cure
  hand Lagos(yellow) to bob: meet IN Lagos (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Hong Kong (2 move(s)), then charter to Lagos (spends Hong Kong(red))), bob 4 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure
  hand Santiago(yellow) to bob: meet IN Santiago (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Hong Kong (2 move(s)), then charter to Santiago (spends Hong Kong(red))), bob 4 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Seoul (red, 2): you are HERE — treat NOW (one treat clears all 2 and refunds them)
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Hong Kong, 2 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 4 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~2 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 4→2)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Hong Kong 4→0, Kolkata 5→1, Bangkok 5→1, Delhi 6→2; board-wide: 21 cities closer, 58 trip-actions shaved

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 1 plan dominates all rivals this turn.
Dominance pruned every rival on both tempo and risk. This is the priced
nominee, not an order: extend it, or play something else.
  - break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York — drive Shanghai, drive Hong Kong, charter to New York, treat blue
     tempo: 7 action(s) closer to the blue cure (67 → 60 action(s) to land it) — you collect; clears 1 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.3 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
     burns: red CURED — spare
  dominated: advance the black cure: move toward the Riyadh handoff (bob collects; assumes they meet you), defusing Seoul on the way — tempo 6 vs 7, risk 0.29 vs 0.29 — beaten by "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …".
  dominated: sweep Seoul (red cured, 2 cubes, 1 treat clears all) — tempo 0 vs 6, risk 0.29 vs 0.29 — beaten by "advance the black cure: move toward the Riyadh …".

Big shift: red is cured, but the first epidemic hit New York (3 blue, outbreak #1, splash on Toronto/Washington/London/Madrid), and the reshuffle re-armed the whole old discard — J'burg and NY can now fire every phase. Bob's split is sound: he's 2 moves from the NY cluster, I'm 3 actions from J'burg. I'll confirm the split, then verify my line before committing (it burns the Hong Kong card).

Preview is reassuring: the known top segment of the infection deck (14 cities — the old discard) doesn't include New York, so the NY bomb can't fire until the *next* epidemic's reshuffle — bob has a full round to defuse it. My treat takes J'burg to 2, meaning no city can outbreak in this phase at all. Executing.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  STATUS: RED CURED (bob, Atlanta station). First epidemic hit: NY outbreak, outbreaks 1/8, infect discard reshuffled ON TOP — every old fire (Johannesburg 3 yellow, New York 3 blue, Seoul 2 red, Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai 2 black, Lagos 2 yellow, Toronto 2 blue) is live again. IMMEDIATE: alice → Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg (burn HK), treat yellow (3→2), finish clearing next turn; bob → NY cluster (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → 1 left), Toronto 2 blue next in line. Seoul red 2: low priority, one treat clears all (cured color); Taipei 1 red — eradicate on spare actions only. COLLECTORS: alice = YELLOW (Lagos/Santiago/Lima, + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet); bob = BLUE + BLACK (holds Essen blue, Istanbul black — keep every blue/black draw). alice's New York blue goes to bob at a cheap meet — do NOT burn it (blue margin 5, supply 15). All cures at Atlanta station.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION

obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict

reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 3 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 6 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  STATUS: RED CURED (bob, Atlanta station). First epidemic hit: NY outbreak, outbreaks 1/8, infect discard reshuffled ON TOP — every old fire (Johannesburg 3 yellow, New York 3 blue, Seoul 2 red, Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai 2 black, Lagos 2 yellow, Toronto 2 blue) is live again. IMMEDIATE: alice → Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg (burn HK), treat yellow (3→2), finish clearing next turn; bob → NY cluster (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → 1 left), Toronto 2 blue next in line. Seoul red 2: low priority, one treat clears all (cured color); Taipei 1 red — eradicate on spare actions only. COLLECTORS: alice = YELLOW (Lagos/Santiago/Lima, + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet); bob = BLUE + BLACK (holds Essen blue, Istanbul black — keep every blue/black draw). alice's New York blue goes to bob at a cheap meet — do NOT burn it (blue margin 5, supply 15). All cures at Atlanta station.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 2 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 6 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

The reshuffle put the whole old discard — J'burg, NY, Seoul, Moscow, Algiers, the works — back ON TOP of the infect deck, so both 3-cube bombs can now fire any phase.

ADVISORY — alice is on the move; you cannot act.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned 3 of your turn(s) ago):
  RED CURE SHOT (new, replaces Seoul-as-fuel): alice ends this turn IN Seoul holding the Seoul card. BOB's next turn: drive Seoul → shareTake the Seoul card (4th red: Osaka/HCMC/Tokyo/Seoul) → shed a non-red at hand cap (Washington or Istanbul; KEEP Atlanta = 1-action flight home, KEEP Mexico City yellow for alice) → direct flight Atlanta → discoverCure RED. After curing, bob pivots to BLUE/BLACK collection from Atlanta station.
  ALICE after that: walk Seoul→Shanghai→Hong Kong → charter HK→Johannesburg (HK is pure fuel once red is cured) → treat yellow ×3 across two turns → Johannesburg cleared; then work the yellow lane (Lagos/Khartoum/Kinshasa) treating and collecting. Seoul's leftover red: trivial post-cure, 1 treat clears all — whoever passes through.
  COLLECTORS: bob = BLUE + RED + BLACK (Istanbul seed); alice = YELLOW (Lagos, Santiago + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet). alice's New York blue → bob at a cheap meet, else fuel.
  CONTAINMENT: black 2-cube cities (Algiers/Moscow) = bob on East Coast passes; Mumbai unowned — watch it. J'burg stays armed ~2 more turns — acceptable, chain is mild (neighbors at 0-1 yellow), outbreaks 0/8.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

  alice hands you Lagos(yellow): meet IN Lagos (the card's own city) — you 4 move(s), alice 3 action(s) (go to Hong Kong (2 move(s)), then charter to Lagos (spends Hong Kong(red))); then bob to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure

I've sent Alice my recommendation and pinned the updated plan. Key developments this round: **red is cured**, but the first epidemic triggered a New York outbreak (outbreaks now 1/8) and reshuffled the infection discard on top of the deck — re-arming every previous fire. My advice splits the two live bombs: Alice full-speed to Johannesburg via her Hong Kong charter, me to the New York blue cluster next turn.

POOL MESSAGE from alice (event #37): Taking the split as you priced it: Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg, treat yellow once (3→2). At 2 cubes a single infect draw can't fire it, so that kills J'burg's outbreak risk for this phase. I'm skipping Seoul's 2 red this pass as you said — worst case it ticks to 3 (no outbreak, cured color, one treat clears all later); eradication sweep (Seoul 2 + Taipei 1) waits for whoever passes cheap. NY/Toronto cluster is yours. Two notes: (1) ignore the auto-collector signal flipping yellow to you — moving my Lagos/Santiago/Lima would need three separate city meets; I stay yellow collector (3/5), you stay blue+black. (2) I'm keeping New York blue unburned per your call, though it's stranded in my hand for now — if a cheap NY meet ever lines up, grab it.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 1 of your turn(s) ago):
  STATUS: RED CURED (bob, Atlanta station). First epidemic hit: NY outbreak, outbreaks 1/8, infect discard reshuffled ON TOP — every old fire (Johannesburg 3 yellow, New York 3 blue, Seoul 2 red, Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai 2 black, Lagos 2 yellow, Toronto 2 blue) is live again. IMMEDIATE: alice → Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg (burn HK), treat yellow (3→2), finish clearing next turn; bob → NY cluster (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → 1 left), Toronto 2 blue next in line. Seoul red 2: low priority, one treat clears all (cured color); Taipei 1 red — eradicate on spare actions only. COLLECTORS: alice = YELLOW (Lagos/Santiago/Lima, + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet); bob = BLUE + BLACK (holds Essen blue, Istanbul black — keep every blue/black draw). alice's New York blue goes to bob at a cheap meet — do NOT burn it (blue margin 5, supply 15). All cures at Atlanta station.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 4 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 7 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.
