Wonders how many ARFCOMmers will get the reference. Made the same joke on a news
forum a few weeks ago and it went over as well as dielectric solder.

I think this is the second time I've seen the reference here, but I still don't get it

I had to google it.  Pandemic II

I knew what this thread was before I even opened it....or at least I hoped that I knew what it was. Unfortunately I can't hear jack.

I could get some of it and a lot of none of it. Not enough to justify making a call. Even if he could hear me I wasn't 100% sure I could hear him if he repeated my call sign.





If you didn't know, there was a game online you could play call pandemic 2. The goal was to stop a global pandemic. Madagascar shut down the ports, airports and everything else if someone in Chicago caught a cold.

Actually, the goal was to CREATE a global pandemic. You could choose the various attributes of your parasite or virus, and where it was first released.  Someone, who had WAY too much time on their hands noticed that no matter what you did, where you started, what attributes you gave you infection, you could never infect Madagascar.

Sorry, been a while.

It wasn't never infect Madagascar, but it was really, really hard because of the hair trigger,
which is where the meme comes from. (It took me hours, but I did successfully infect them, once.)

I just started infecting them first and it seemed to work about 50% of the time

Wow, I never could, and I have to say I blew more than a few hours on that game.

The secret is to start out with a really pathetically weak virus until you see that Madagascar has been infected,
then mutate it to something nastier while the game is still running. Something below a common cold can get in.

Been a while but it's coming back now. I think the key beyond where you start is to pick a virus and then rodent transmission so that a ship can take it to Madagascar.

I need to play this game.

Haven't played in forever so I thought I would try. First attempt failed. Apparently you can infect Madagascar even after they shut down the shipyard because ships still show up for a short period of time. I eventually killed everyone off with a parasite and encephalitis, which is ironic considering I almost died from it earlier this year.



Note the top name of the disease, I named mine ARFCOM but I didn't rank high enough to show. Back to your regularly scheduled program now.

not true, I killed the world several times.
