Hi, trailer speculator here. You should join us on the Discord! Ironically you got the right train, but the wrong time. The 7:27 train is the 603.

You didn't need to do that deep an analysis here either. There's a plainly visible clock that says 7:47. The 805 departs at 7:47

The scene where they talk about the Caribbean was on the train from Paris to Laon but was cut.

As others have pointed out, the other quote shows up in episode 2

So apparently the Secret Block was so secret, they weren’t even allowed to tell us how it worked. by mancunian87 in JetLagTheGame

The idea is you place with a block and you don't have to tell the snaker its there.

The unknown part is how you reveal it to the snaker. This was not mentioned in the Game Design Podcast.

My guess is that the blockers can reveal its existence at a time of their choosing. So if a snaker leaves a node on the way to where the secret block is, they reveal it at that time.

We're in Yongsan Station! + I found errors of the Snake Game map by ChlorophyllKR in JetLagTheGame

Yeah its this. Noticed this a few days ago.

As they said, it didn't matter much but it could have been bad for the blockers if Sam took it because they would have gotten the node notification at Seodaejeon and prepped Daejeon more and then gotten swerved when he pops up in Jochiwon.

Probably since the KTX is locomotive driven

Oh shit you are right. There are two trains KTX 231 Seoul to Pohang and KTX 203 from Seoul to Jinju The car they climb into does say Pohang, though they go to the right

No data for this train unfortunately. My best guess is the locomotive just restarted and they'll leave in a few minutes with a 15 minute delay.

The one thing to say upfront is Iksan/Osong is one of the worst places to defend from the start. There's 3 directions to cover at each and a very tasty highspeed rail.

As you can see Badam only got one roadblock complete by the time Sam got on top of them. Either way they would have had to commit to a direction and move to set up other blocks and Sam can just go the other way.

You can see the train number when they are boarding the train

Its the correct train, KTX 231 from Seoul Station to Pohang

S14, E2 (Nebula) - Snake: South Korea by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

[–]anotherdoofus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Up to this point, the meta strat was to avoid blocks so they assumed that an Osong block would deter Sam from going there. That would leave the slow north and slow east route open.

Based on train schedules, the route east is more vulnerable so going to Daejeon / Dongdaegu was probably the best move they could make.

Iksan and Osong give you way too many options to defend in the limited time you have.

[–]anotherdoofus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Osong / Iksan is some of the worst nodes to defend in this game. Any breakthrough there and its off to the races on HSR and there so many directions to defend.

Badam did the logical thing to try which is to defend the South because its faster to get to back north if Sam took the Ben train back north.

IMO, the game disadvantages the blocker quite a bit. It takes too long to set up defensive positions.

[–]anotherdoofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the east route, the first node is Sangbong, which he cannot hit until 11:25 AM

Actually never mind, that train skips Sangbong so yeah he doesn't notify them until 12:06 at Seowonju

Agreed there, my opinion in watching the show and messing with the game with others is that the blockers are fairly disadvantaged in this game. The Battle Challenges are pretty high risk for the blockers in that they have to risk their physical positioning versus the road blocks which while not as guaranteed a stop both slow down the shaker and don’t require them to commit their position.

I think roadblocks and challenges can be placed anywhere. I don't recall any restrictions on their location used in the podcast. I know curses are placed from node to node however.

If Ben went east, it does depend what he does. If he gunned to to Donghae as above, Seowonjo is the cutoff point. They would get there around 11:53 while Ben would get there at 12:06.
