[06:00] IsambardPrince One of the small ones was deciding whether to go into a roach motel but since I had the zapper I expedited the process. [06:02] IsambardPrince The adults can obviously make a lot of small ones so those are the priority, but the small ones are slower and might turn into an adult. [06:02] IsambardPrince So you can just give them a squirt of all purpose cleaner and wipe them up.

[06:05] IsambardPrince I also gave my cats their supervised dinner and then put the food back up so that none of the roaches could get it and make teeny weeny little roaches of their own someday. [06:06] IsambardPrince Whoever invented the electric flyswatter was a lifesaver. Roaches are hard to crush because they have an exoskeleton. So zapping them makes short work of them.

So when you go to wipe them up it sterilizes the area. [06:24] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], This reminds me of The Awful Green Things From Outer Space. [06:24] IsambardPrince It's a board game I used to play with my dad. [06:24] IsambardPrince One of you plays the awful green things and the other plays the crew of a spaceship. [06:25] IsambardPrince The human characters are at a disadvantage because the green things have several turns before a human can find them and the humans have designated "spawn" points. [06:26] IsambardPrince The humans have to find weapons, but they also have a robot. [06:26] IsambardPrince The weapon's effects on an attack roll are somewhat random.

[06:28] IsambardPrince If you're the humans and you're only down to 3-4 of you and the green things are getting out of control, you should focus on destroying the ship and getting to lifepods. Because if you just abandon ship the green things get 111 points, same as if they killed all of you. [06:29] IsambardPrince But if you self-destruct and abandon ship with a significant number of crew members, then there's a small story about whether they make it back to Earth or not. If they do, then you add up all the points from the surviving humans' health, and then that's the points, so if you can beat 55.5 then the humans still win. [06:30] IsambardPrince You can do this if you avoid having the robot get destroyed because it has the highest health. [06:31] IsambardPrince If you fragment a green thing, it blows it into four pieces. If you don't destroy the pieces, the green things can decide to turn them into eggs, and then eggs to babies and babies to green things. [06:32] IsambardPrince So you could potentially have four more adult green things from blowing up one of them. [06:32] IsambardPrince The human is disadvantaged because there's no way to get more human pieces on the board. [06:33] schestowitz[TR2] I killed 9 roaches today. 4 adults 5 small ones.
