or pass

No worries @Minato, hope you had a better day today.

Crab Legs for orange.

Which just leaves @Inkybloc, with options

  • Spam Blocker {t} [3]
  • Refresh {t} [2]
  • Blue Screen of Death {p} [4]

or pass.

I will buy the Refresh.

Right then: five cards please. The more you tell me about your planned use of upgrades, the less I have to stop and ask you about them.

Something I just noticed on Minato’s move: if you have pop-up notification on your desktop for watched threads, the pop-up will inadvertently reveal the first X characters from a post, including tags, regardless of whether or not that text is hidden. So I saw Minato’s first card choice before I even realised what I was looking at, but not the rest. Luckily my move was already submitted and Blue won’t affect me anyway.

Work-arounds: make your pre-hidden-text a bit longer, so the hidden part drops off the end of the notification, or message RogerBW your moves.

Back 1, Again, turn right, F1, F1 - I don’t think I have a choice anyway but I’ll be shooting front and rear whenever I have the opportunity

The reason we started using details blocks in Flamme Rouge was that some people were new users who couldn’t yet PM. As far as I’m concerned, either is fine and PM is probably safer.
