Proposal: I’ll lend you a time machine (to fix your existential crisis)

Create a new rule “Deus Ex Machina”:

Somewhere, on some deserted laboratory, exists a Time Machine. If at any time a Survivor comes in possession of the Time Machine, that Survivor may, as a daily action, attempt to travel into the past and prevent the Apocalypse. To successfully prevent the Apocalypse, first the Survivor must have a Vaccine for the Infection, a Piece of Strawberry Bubblegum, and a Red Paper-clip; as well as taking and passing a Fitness Test. No Survivor may attempt to prevent the Apocalypse until they are in possession of the Time Machine. Whenever a Survivor prevents the Apocalypse, that Survivor has achieved victory.

 

To prevent slowdown, let me give you directions.

for  But this will be one of several different victory conditions. Other ones may include “repopulate the world”.

CoV veto  “comes in possession”, “vaccine”, “bubblegum”, and “paperclip” are all undefined, and so someone could claim to have all of those, and win early.
