If you okay it with your own side, I'm fine with it.

[Strongpoint]

I could post the story with permission from the GM

I don't remember your submission. Are you sure there are o information that can be used by other side? My crude thing has details that shouldn't be known by aliens so there are no way it goes to this topic

[Blood_Librarian]

I vaguely remember mine only discussing a battle and ourside of it, I dont quite think it has any information they dont already know.

Challenge : Write a (short) excerpt on any of the recent battles from any perspective.  (Reward : + 1 unrestricted token)

Host: Is heaven real? Does it get cellphone reception? One woman says yes. That's the topic today on Miracle Witness!

Host: My condolences for your loss. Your brother was killed while vacationing in Brazil- when was the last time you heard from him?

Guest: Thank you. He texted me before he left. Within a day I got the call he had died in the terrorists attack.

Host: ...and that's when the miracle happened?

Guest: I got another text a day later.

Host: What did these texts say.

Guest: The first was just wishing me a happy birthday and apology he couldn't miss this chance to get away.

Host: The second.

Guest: Just...a jumble of random symbols. But...

Host: ...yes?

Guest: They were...changing and...

Host: Uh huh?

Guest: I saw his face! They formed his face! It is a miracle! But, why did you look so weary brother?? So...cold. So...empty.

Guest: You were such a joy to many, so pious. Of course you went to the golden kingdom. Do not be afraid.

Host: Do you still have the phone.

Guest: *reaches for purse* Yes here it—

Guest *looks at phone, expression changes to horror*

Guest *begins convulsing and jibbering*

Host: (well this woman is nuts)

Host: Next time on Miracle Witness, one man says he saw the Virgin Mary in his leftovers, has new diet to share with the world!

Spoiler: Jackson Mayfeild's Journal, entry 144 (click to show/hide)

Today was...frankly terrible. It started off quite well and peaceful, almost as a veil covering up what would happen later in the day. I woke up early in the morning in my hotel room, ate a good breakfast, and then was well on my way to go to the tour I signed up to join and see the exotic wildlife of the Amazon. We drove for about two hours, maybe three, its been hard tracking time since my damn watch broke three days ago. Anyway, after those two or three hours of driving, we stopped at a small village and we got to walking about outside it. I saw a decent amount of animals on the tour, some of the animals I saw where a Harpy Eagle, a Jesus Lizard, a few Kinkajou, and even a Jaguar. But mid way through the tour, things took a turn for the worse. We heard strange noises from above, and some not so strange noises that sounded like what happens when a distribution transformer has a bad accident with a squirrel. Looking up, we couldn't really see a thing and worriedly, we started heading back and moments later everyone was shocked when a wing of some kind of jet fighter crashed right behind us. It didn't have any markings I would recognize, though, I guess now days jets dont have roundels on their wings, that or I just missed it. Anyway, we quickly headed back to the one village we where at and I am not lying when I say this, there was a bloody flying saucer just casually floating down and landing. And shortly after, some sort of creature that kinda looked like the classical grey but bony and with teeth came out of the thing and with it a bunch of strange drones, at least I think they where drones. They flew around everywhere and seemed to zap people to knock them out so the aliens could just pick 'em up and just throw them in their little flying saucer. All of my tour was gotten by these drones, including me. The pain was unbearable, but I was still awake. I could hear one of those aliens walking up behind me and that's when I heard a crack of sound, impact with something fleshy, and the sound of something collapsing behind me. I didn't know what to do, so for a bit, I stayed still as I tried to gather my bearings and my ability to book it. And, after a few minutes, I forced myself to my feet and ran. As I did so, I saw a flash of green light kill a few people who seemed to be armed but I didn't care, I just needed to get out of here. I collapsed shortly after due to pain. But it was far enough away for me not to be caught by the aliens, it seemed. And after lying on the ground for a good hour or so, I got up, and carefully looked into the village. The saucer was gone, the aliens where gone, and the people where gone. I got into the small car that the tour guide once drove, and just went as fast as I could to get back to the city. Then, I returned to my room where I started writing this very passage into my journal. I think I'm going to move my flight to Australia from next month to as soon as bloody possible, as to not deal with that, whatever that was, again...Besides, I learned as much as I needed here for my work.

It said any perspective...so...yeah

[Shadowclaw777]

I think with the absence of the discord nay-sayers (roseheart), I think with what the Ethereal/Xcom Race game has become that a discord for this game would be really welcomed. @10ebbor10

[10ebbor10]

So, question.

There was a bit of a hiatus. That gives me the opportunity to consider a few things. Firstly, the systems as deployed so far work a bit, but there are issues. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve these systems, feel free to speak up.

For the game, there are 3 options.

1) Just continue
2) Continue with mechanic adjustements
3) Restart with mechanic adjustements
4) Do something else (probably a magic arms race)

[NUKE9.13]

Aside from the weird quantum state of Ethereal revisions, I can't think of any problems with the mechanics. Personally, I say don't fix what ain't broke, and just resume the game- which has been very enjoyable so far.

[BBBence1111]

I agree with Nuke. Just continue and see what happens.

[Kashyyk]

 I've been enjoying it also. I'm glad you're ready to bring it  back.

[piratejoe]

I also agree with nuke, and am also glad to see this is getting reactivated again. Hopefully, we will be able to prove once and for all who really owns this world. (PS, thats us, the aliens.)

[10ebbor10]

Anyway, for the challenge this turn, can someone be so nice to collate all the submissions in each thread, just that I don't miss any?

[10ebbor10]

Anyway, we have a discord channel now.

https://discord.gg/AcJunk

[Rockeater]

Can I join,I will join the side with less people.

[NUKE9.13]

Generally ARs are open to anyone joining at any point, so yeah, I'm pretty sure you can join. I think XCOM has less people, although I'm not sure.

The Aliens currently have ~8 active members. Someone from XCOM should be able to tell you the numbers on their side.
