Understood.

Night at the Museum: Turn 17

Another exit locked it seems...

O - Pillar
SS - Security Switchboard

[pevergreen]

PIZZA MOVES UP AND LOCKS IT!!!

Then we win, yes?

I didnt know we could lock exits. we shoulda done that beforehand.

[slashandburn]

You probably still have to find the thief, the lock probably takes him a turn to unlock giving you a chance to get to him.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Interesting game. Also similar to scotland yard.

[pevergreen]

So... what happens if i stay on my exit, atpg moves between his... we win..thief cant escape...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, if ATPG moves up and locks the exit you two will win.

You probably still have to find the thief, the lock probably takes him a turn to unlock giving you a chance to get to him.

No they don't. They haven't noticed him so far and I doubt they will in the future.

[pevergreen]

So we win this turn...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I move up and lock the door.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I assume that ATPG would indeed move up and thus Policemen win!

Night at the Museum: Turn 18

Just as ATPG close the last exit our thief, FactionHeir activates one of the Alarm systems!

[pevergreen]

Double whammy.

Bad luck FH.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well played though, what was your route? You avoided being detected very well. Those traps should have gotten you sooner...

I'd be interested to see Factionheir's moves each turn.

[FactionHeir]

I made one step mistake during the game (because I didn't know where I was and thought I was elsewhere) which cost me my victory. Otherwise I would have reached the first locked exit 1 turn before ATPG.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I made one step mistake during the game

Hey, now I don't feel so bad about asking pevergreen to move left inexplicably.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

FH's moves during the game.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

FH disabled alarms systems on turn 2 and 4.
Turn 7 he was on the same square where the coins were. On the next turn he took the coins and moved away.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Not bad.... correctly guessing where I thought the logical spots to put the alarms would be.

Apparently, FactionHeir, we think very much alike in the strategic sense. Nicely done.

[FactionHeir]

Thanks, I just figured there'd be no other place to put em. Though I was somewhat concerned about alarms at the top exit as pever wasn't really guarding it, which is why I didn't escape via that route (besides realizing that even if I did, pever would get there faster than I - but he didn't move much at first)

Mistake visible at T5, that shouldve been diagonal, not just right.
