How did Kevan lose 9 Credits without Influencing any Institution?

Haha whoops wrong way fixed.

Also, evidently nobody directed credits at the bank besides me? Huh.

@Yonah, fixed

I had 14 Credits, I Influenced three Institutions for 2+6+1=9 credits, that’s 5 Credits left, plus 1 for the Rebels and 5 for the Reactor, so I should have 11 Credits and not 7?

In other news I can’t add <_<

@Koen, I have recalculated your Credits, you should have 13

Did I not send in any orders? I could have sworn I did.

I’m sorry Josh, I have double check through, and I received no directions for you this cycle.

@southpointingchariot I have no idea how you get to 13 but I won’t argue against ;)

Just to be sure, the Mob will stay disconnected/powered until the 18th, then connected/unpowered until the 21st?

The mob will be disconnected during through the end of this cycle, but will be connected and powered on 0001 UTC on the 18th.

“When a Player influences the Reactor, the Institution they nominated is Disconnected during the next Cycle.”
“When a new Cycle begins, any Institution which is not Disconnected become Powered, and all other Institutions become Unpowered.”

Since the resolution occurs before the next cycle begins, I Influenced the Reactor during Cycle 8, so the Mob should be Disconnected during cycle 9.
Then when cycle 10 begins, every Institution which is not Disconnected will become Powered, and the Mob will become Unpowered.

Additionally I think the Bonus for the Rebels should be 0.

[Koen] Due to your influence, the Reactor is Disconnected during cycle 9. Thus, when cycle 9’s initialization is carried out, every institution except the Mob becomes Powered, and the Mob, which is disconnected, becomes Unpowered.

Oh, right. I didn’t realize the disconnection and the unpowering were simultaneous.

If nobody influenced the Watchtower, you need to tell us “the Resources that each Player directed to any Institutions that they failed to Influence”.

Ooh, good catch. Although the Watchtower was unpowered, that does not affect the wording of the relevant rules.

Wait a minute, why did nobody influence the Black Market. The watchtower report shows as if no one directed at it, when I’m almost certain that I did.

[Yonah] Nobody influenced the Black Market because it was Unpowered last Cycle, but you’re right, I think the directions should still have been made and recorded.

Kevan, good point. Though I believe Yonah was the only person to still direct at it - my mistake.

Actually, looking back, I think I noticed that it was unpowered and changed my direction right before I sent it to you.
