wait what

She didn't get sick, despite sharing the same room.
So the period for which its contagious, or its method of transfer were beyond what she did.
Given I went drinking and she didn't, that's the short vector for it.
Further, I went on the GM fun tour, and yet multiple other people on it had no issues, so its rather out there as it were.

GF and I are both sick along with multiple people in my alliance that went. Some weird chest cold thing. Honestly have had this before back in Basic, we called it "The Crud".

Because of the crud you cough up.

You got to experience what we call "Icelandic Deathflu", congrats! Big smile

It's fairly typical to come down with it either during Fanfest, or in the days after the event. Sometimes it will just give you aches, pains, and a fever for a day or two, other times it will drop you on your ass hard for a week or so.

As someone who did go on that GM tour, I got a mild case of deathflu, sooooo yeah. Prepare yourself, it is coming!

If you would have just stuck around with us we could have given you the vaccine. Sheesh, this was all planned out at the BBQ.

He's commenting on how you structured that sentence.

The punctuation you used in the place you used it makes that sentence read like you're saying your sister is your bed-mate.

First rule on traveling abroad: Don't eat the ICE ( even Icelandic ice )
Second rule: Avoid amorous relations with the natives ( and in trade for your pretty colored beads, I offer you blankets ).

I was under the impression that Biological Warfare was outlawed under the Geneva / Helsinki accords. I have it on good authority that a "certain" alliance will be arriving at Eve Vegas several days in advance to attend the annual Bean Burrito fest in neighboring Reno. They intend to release a noxious, colorless, biological gas during the opening ceremonies. BOLO for red faces, bloated torso, and refusal to make eye contact.

I nominate CCP Fozzie for a mission of this scope and magnitude. Time to nerf / buff the upcoming Eve Vegas event.

everyone get well soon ( seriously )

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

What you got is generally referred to as "con crud" and it happens any time there's that many people in one building for that long. It's ubiquitous at all conventions.

Fire up Project Discovery, and lets figure out what bio weapon was used on the Fanfest.

No doubt, but what is being discussed is a outbreak of ~The Fanfest Flu~.

I too fell ill to this and I hardly ever get sick.

If the people meet each other regularly, it tends not to be a problem.

If it's people who see each other once or twice a year, and come from all over the world, it can be bad.

Woo! CSM XI!
