September 14, 1949
Seoul, Seoul Korea"In less than six months, I can guarantee you a zeppelin fleet unlike any the world has ever seen," Oliver declared, looking the South Korean diplomat in the eye.
"How?" the diplomat replied skeptically. "Even Western production levels would not be enough - you do not have enough factories either."
"Mister Ma, my business is not in building zeppelins. It's in building factories," Oliver replied. "We have a partnership with several zeppelin-part-producing companies, and the North Koreans boldness will not continue to grow as it has if you have an overwhelmingly powerful air force...."
The diplomat smiled. "That may be true. But the costs of a South Korean air force might be a tad too expensive. Maybe, it might cause a bit of a
paradox?"
One temporal merc step out of the shadows and stun Oliver.
"It's alright, Oliver. All the Time Repair Agency just needs those Hidenburg plans..." The so-called "Mister Ma" takes the Hinderburg plans from Oliver, and tears it apart. "Without these plans, there is no way you will hand them off to your past self, and the Hinderburg will be blown apart."
"Good play there," said the temporal merc. "Such a brilliant scheme. Listen, I got a busy schedule. First, I have to kill off Roland Regan, and then after that, I got a contract with Dale to steal some dinosaur."
"Sure thing."
((Shades played the Restore History (Inverter) card, thereby reverting the 1938 event back to Original History. The Hinderburg explodes.))
Other Moves:
*Tyliu played 1944D: Stalemate (Patch).
---Tyliu attempted to play Stalemate, but Shades managed to block it by playing
Restore History. Tyliu's card remains in his hand.
---Tyliu instead decides to play Discontinuty! Your hands get shifted...
to the leeeft.
*Xenomorph plays Fast Foward.
He quick-tripped into the future, grabbing "Tommorow's Newspaper Today". He then played the Gagdet "Really Fast Time Machine". (EDIT: Opps. Turns out somebody already have that artifact, just in their hand. You get a second action, but you can't find Tomorrow's Newspaper Today. My Bad.)
*webadict reverses 1981. Regan gets killed on the operating table!
*Panda plays the patch 1945A: Allied Troops Invade Tokyo! She draws one card!
*Org came up with a sneaky plan. Replace the Videotape of the Begining of the Universe with a video about the Dinosaurs, and then watched as that video get thrown overboard. Org plays "Get There First!" and thereby steals the Videotape.
*Dwarmin plays Get There First! to steal the Mona Lisa (Obivous Forgery) from Squeegy.
*Squeegy plays the card: "Time Vortex". All the cards in your hand will be shuffled and dealt out equally. I'll send you a PM telling you what new cards you get. This PM will also tell you what new card you draw.

Is it possible the game has already ended? Due to the actions of one person, the timeline managed to fit what her Secret Idenity was. However, it got changed by the actions of other people (well, actually, the actions one person). But, the user did send an order declaring a victory...and I know that if we just wait until the
end of the round to determine if somebody wins, the game might be impossible.
If you decide that this User wins the game, well...then this User wins the game, and no need to hand out more cards. But it would mean that this game was a wash, likely due to me.
