I pulled mine out of the friendzone after about 8 years of knowing each other.

There seems to be a cold going around here too, my sinuses and throat are not doing so good.

I'm LATE, but I'm here.... Finally.

Gottta go read and see what's up. kisses to all!!

Howdy! Glad you made it.

Gaaaaah. CAN'T DECIDE.

Any luck making a decision?

I think I picked one of the new strains. The "luminosity" one intrigued me.

It's rough. I'd like to be "everything" for a week. :D

I took the "tropical" one because of all the snow, I wanted to pick one that sounded at least a little positive. I almost wanted to pick the fuzzy one again but it was just too tempting for a new strain.

YES. I wanted pink fuzziness as well. Pretty bad. BUT... I also couldn't pass up trying a new strain... It was hard, though. Wanted a lot of them. Am almost hoping there might be time to get infected, again, but we'll see. :D

Im happy that the one I got seems really easy to work a HA around, nothing weird going on....yet lol

So far the strain you picked is winning me over. If we get the chance to get infected again before this is all over I'm leaning towards that one. The colors in the later stages is so pretty. Actually just going by the name it would have won me over.

You're turning black. :o It actually looks like feathers right now.

Fulfillment/Deathworms for me is hands down the one that creeps me out. It looks like a dead bloated corpse. :x I need to break out an outfit that shows off my infection. I've hit stage 4 already.

Once I seen the red blobs on my head and the black skin it makes me think spider, I soooo hope its not. I would probably throw my laptop :(

Ahhh I'm here! We recently got rid of the internet connection at our house, so I'm in the library soaking up the wi-fi. xD Eeep, Pandemic, must decide what new strain to infect myself with but I just broke out the old crackhead virus to blend in... :)

I didn't even think spider. I may find that cute. I love those little jumping wolf spiders. I don't like anything that's huge and gross though. Tarantulas and the like, nope.

I was more thinking slug, you know because of the name. Or maybe a nudibranch.

I look like a sea slug, the black ones with all the neon details. It looks so cute now, so glad it wasn't a spider. Also, jumping spiders are possibly the scariest things that have ever happened.

Hello! Sometimes its nice to come in later, now you get too see what they are turning into and make an educated decision, lol.

lol Nudibranches are the only slugs I can stand. The good old garden slug can go die in a ring of salt. I've accidentally stepped on them in bare feet. Yuck, yuck, yuck!

Now I'm not sure what one I would want, Deathslug or Grossfungus. The little nudibranch is so cute but I love the purples and greens of the fungus. I may have to flip a coin.

Garden slugs are pretty nasty and walking on the is even worse. One day I went to pick something up outside and squished one between my fingers. I screamed, jumped up and down and almost threw up all at once. I wish there was a way to show off the nubs on my head through the hair, that would make it perfect.

This year's strains all look really cool! I opted to grab the old Butterfly Bruise for now, hopefully I'll have enough time to get infected with another strain before the event is over!

Also, major thanks to and and anyone else who has given me kisses, you are all wonderful and I will return as many as I can once I am in an internet zone once more! xD

I'm really liking mine. Going to have fun with it for a while :) The old ones were very tempting though, hopefully this is the new tradition for pandemic.

I am definitely a fan of the Deathslug strain as well, though Deathworms is horrifyingly awesome after you get past the bloated corpse stage. xD I like this Infection system much better as well, but now I believe I will start a mission to collect all the skins!
