"Plague outbreak leaves 57 dead..."

everything!

You said "nah" to that though.. I feel like there's some miscommunication going on.

I said "nah" because the disease won't have started in Madagascar. Just like in the game...by the time the disease starts showing up in Madagascar...the cure has already been discovered.

Like the other hundreds of "outbreaks" reported over the last 15 years that the media was panicking that we were all going to die, but ended up fizzling out. Looks like more media scaremongering to be honest.

It may be a problem to a country or a community by I don't see this going wordwide and cause mass loss of life like say the Black Death

[Hisholyness]

Don't panic. Risk of international spread is low.

Isn't this what you tell the world, problem or not?

A "Win" in this case means "wiping out all human life on earth"

What game is this, I'm intrigued

We need to build a wall around Madagascar.

Of course, but let it not be said that bungee started the next pandemic panic through failure to give warnings!

I can see the miscommunication. The original post that brought up "Plague Inc." from The-Shan was talking about it from the perspective of a new game, while Evil Midnight Bomber was talking about it from the perspective of an already in-progress game, because the black plague is nothing new.

TL;DR: One player hit new game, the other hit continue.

Yes...that does seem to be the confusion. We are both talking about Madagascar's in-game resilience to disease...just looking at the disease itself through different lenses.

It's a fun, if at times infuriating, game.

Because madagascar shuts down everything the second someone sneezes in asia.

"Madagascar closes seaports"

Start new Game for the 100th time.
