If you got #1381, then it should be too late to get #1380. I'm pretty sure the chain doesn't go backwards in numbers. I mean, there's no technical restriction preventing that from happening, but the editors have always avoided doing it in past chains, and it's a prudent design choice to avoid accidental infinite loops.Paffnia wrote:After #1379, Option 3, I got #1381. Any other theories about how to get to #1380? If not from this branch, I'll try to get another effect line on #1382 from this chain.

That's... not entirely unexpected since I saw the issue text. It's just a second chance to do what you were offered in #1379.Paffnia wrote:#1382, Option 1: "The roundel of the @@NAME@@ Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction."

The Story So Far
Secret agent James Bont has been sent to San Vitenzo with orders to infiltrate the missile installation sites.
The Issue
As you are heading toward yet another meeting, you receive a phone call from N, your Minister of Intelligence, who has news from James Bont and needs to speak with you about his mission.
The Debate
1. [internal number: 3] “Good morning, boss,” proclaims the steady voice of your spy chief. “Bont reported that he was able to steal a missile technician’s uniform and security badge that may allow him to enter the enemy bases undetected. However, there’s been a small... complication. We believe that one or more enemy agents are aware of his presence. They’re probably too dangerous to ignore. Do you want to give Bont a free hand to neutralize the threat? A few bullets should take care of... wait, did you hear that clicking sound? I hope this phone isn’t bugged. Code Blue, @@LEADER@@.” N hangs up, leaving you bewildered.
2. [internal number: 4] After staring at your phone for a few seconds, you feel your right shoe vibrating as blue text starts scrolling across the toe: “Alternatively, if you’re uncomfortable with extrajudicial killings, you could order Bont to capture any enemy spies and hand them off to us for interrogation. It’s riskier than just shooting them — our enemies may have set up a trap that could result in Bont’s death — but we might be able to gain valuable intel or use prisoners as a negotiating tool.”
3. [internal number: 5] While still thinking it over, you’re suddenly interrupted by cooing coming from an open window. A carrier pigeon alights on your shoulder and presents a small note tied to its right leg: “There’s a third way of dealing with this. If you want, you could instruct Bont to simply ignore the enemy agents and focus on his primary mission. This might just be a diversion to waste our time and allow East Lebatuck to finish installing their missiles. Well, let me know of your decision by this evening. PS: This message will self-destruct in ten seconds.”

That was expected. Just pay attention if you get #1380 or #1381 next.Paffnia wrote:I did this on three puppets, each choosing a different option; the effect lines were the same as those of the counterpart issue options 1-3.

The rest of the options don't matter. Socialists should all get pretty much the same path until they reach #1398. Then choose option 1 on that, anything except option 1 on #1399, and then you're back on rails to #1405.
I don't think we need anything from capitalists anymore, other than finding #1380, which I still have no clue on.Paffnia wrote:I also have one more capitalist nation with the start of the chain. Any other paths in need of exploring?

It's not going to just cleanly undo all of your results. It might move things back in the opposite direction from your previous choice, but it's not going to change everything back by exactly the same amount.Disgraces wrote:Does the first option in issue #370 revert option 1 from issue #490?
