And my guy continues to live. HUZZAH!

Not only live, but he stunned the Commander. Storming the base control room was one of the best things I've ever seen; somehow Roman Howard, Irwin Sodbestie, and Samantha made it up the lift all at once. Irwin stunned a Leader, then Roman stunned the Commander on the other side of the room. Samantha came up with her laser rifle, spotted a third Sectoid, and shot it dead with a single snap shot. Somehow all three aliens were facing the wrong way and this all happened in a single turn.

I'm counting that as a kill, even if the game doesn't. Anyway, if you're not in a position to use ROKKITS, give me the biggest auto-fire weapon you have and fill my belt and shoulders with grenades. Alien grenades, if possible.

Noted. Maxclone II will probably get an autocannon, or maybe a heavy plasma once we get those damn clips researched.

the way you're describing it makes me believe that you're using the benefit of doubt in order to make the story more awesome than it actually was.

I was going to lay down a blanket ban of new characters named John...but I'll accept this one.

Name: The 2nd Floor John
Preferences: Bioweapons, if those are a thing in XCOM.
Bio: The toilet from the bathroom of the new American HQ, brought to life by a combination of pixie magic, eldritch forces, and the grisly remains of a Taco Bell party platter.

Rest in peace, 733tPROkillz. You will be missed a little bit.

edit: shit, Sirus ninja'd. I'll make a different character in a bit.

I vote you keep the save, X-com is in need of some charity, but you have to recruit a toilet as penance.

[Krevsin]

Irwin Sodbestie is probably my vote for MVP. He stunned at least two of the aliens, one of which was a leader.

Hurray! He did not die! And he did surprisingly well, too 

Also, keep the save.

[Itnetlolor]

I also suggest we keep the save. My guy is now definitively THE badass leader (still alive, highest-ranked (so far), and has the most kills, and captured a live commander), and he was the reject of the entire crew to boot (annoying as hell, hits on the staff almost constantly, using his war record as a means of flirting, gets drunk and stoned regularly, tinkers with random crap in the base, using obsolete tech in storage for target practice in the halls (and also refitting the mirrors and reflective surfaces all across the base for trick shots with the laser weapons), trolling the crew with random pranks, using the command computer to look at, and at times broadcast, porn, and if temptation calls for it, joyriding the Skyranger or Firestorm (when available)).

Suck it, HQ. He's here to stay. Aliens, your days are numbered too. Cooking fine alien cuisine is a hobby of his while at it.

I can't wait to see his PSI stats.

R.I.P Toilet Barquero. On to the next cannon fodderite!

Name: Jackson "John" Copewell
Preferences: Rifle and grenades, bravery and health prioritized
Bio: Brothers Jackson and Jimothy Copewell always seemed to suit his name, moreso than most of their relatives.
In a large family of neurotic, paranoid, jumpy weirdos, they were the only calm, grounded ones, even from an early age. When Jimothy was killed by aliens in the early stages of the invasion (he went out quite calmly, of course, shrugging as plasma dissolved his lower body), Jackson sighed, said "eh," and went to join X-Com, taking up the sacred title of John along the way.

Fine :v

[SOLDIER First]

Yay! Probably most kills that mission!

[Sirus]

Unless you were Samantha or Woody, noap. Those two alone accounted for half the kills during the base assault.

[SOLDIER First]

Sam(antha), I am.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Looks like Vector has the most career kills so far.  Cool.  He's going to be dying soon, I can already see it.


In other news, I finally got around to starting up the Superhuman Open XCom game I offered doing approximately one month ago (Link to offer.  Link to the game thread.

[MarcAFK]

I just got up to chryssalids, I shudder to think how this game would go with broken reaction shots.

[Yoink]

C'mon Sirus, ah wantsta shoot me some aliums!

[MaximumZero]

Sirus-ly. Get on with it! [/montypython]
