On a 'What-If' mission, I planted a HE Charge. The timer was 40 seconds. On the last 10, someone started to defuse it. He was almost done... I came up to his side and slapped him in the face with my gun. He fell down, the charge blew, we both died. I AM AN HERO

I won another 3 CS:GO arms race in a row tonight.

Arms race is a game mode where everyone starts with the same weapon, and every time you get a kill you automatically get the next weapon in the sequence, until you have gotten 1 kill with every weapon and then you have to get a knife kill to win. Since only 1 of 12 players can win, it is difficult to pull it off repeatedly against other humans.

I was playing 24/7 Bazaar and we were pushing from A. I went through "dog leg" and see that we were stuck and couldn't get in the "kitchen area just passed dog leg. I, with my trust AN-94, decide to rush it and see how many i can take down with me. 5 guys are facing me when i walk in and I take 4 of them out with 1 clip in my An-94 and the last with a rex head shot all with in about 3 seconds. It was GLORIOUS!

I stabbed so many people with my stabby stick.  Sometimes I skewered two people at once, sometimes I jumped at  knights and stabbed them.  Occasionally I made an archer run for his life before stabbing him.  Much stabs were had at the point of my stabby stick.

The joy of hijacking vehicles and bringing them back to base, amplified by the fact that I could grab them using the winch on a helicopter. Shortened the travel time tremendously, and vehicles do not despawn until you cause a loading screen(which is only when you start a mission or load a game). At one point, I managed to steal a helicopter using a helicopter.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Not so much owning as just pure luck.

I was doing great as a ruler, managed to form a kingdom, but then disaster struck, my son was an idiot. He had 0 in all stats, with the exception of diplomacy which was 20. I can only assume that he was emitting large quantities of pheromones, sorta like the larva that tricks ants treating it like a queen. I decided that having the kingdom crash from shitty stats was worse than not having an ally, so I found him a wife with the highest stats I could find, a genius it turned out.
Years pass, a grandson is born, who luckily took after his mother and was a genius(meaning he pretty much had better stats than his father, as a baby). I taught him myself. Years pass again. Grandson keeps racking up good traits. Runs up to 14 diplomacy and 7/8 in everything else, as an 8 year old kid. Only problem is, my idiot son is in the way of succession, and being quite young, would keep the grandson from inheriting for many decades. I let it pass for 2 years, until my idiot son suddenly died from illness, but I suspect he just finally hatched into a butterfly and flew away to lay eggs in other kingdoms. The way was now clear.

Now my old king is about to kick the bucket just in time for my genius grandson to inherit at a young age, setting him up for a very long and fruitful ruling period.

Admirals Thrawn and Piett. The Executor. Several victory and acclamator class ships for support, as well as a few tartans and a gloriously dick-ish Interdictor.
One very unlucky Consortium fleet.
Boba Fett is the first in, all by himself. Since he's Boba Fett, he's handily whupping up on the escorts and fighters that come at him, but when the heavier ships engage him, I pause.
A few well placed clicks later, I unpause.
All my ships pop in, in perfect formation, guns blazing. Two frigates disintegrate pretty much instantly. Their Keldabe battleship foolish decides to target my distractio- I mean Vader's ship. I activate Assault on Thrawn's vessel, and let him fire two salvos each, before switching targets to another hardpoint on the Keldabe.
The Keldabe is destroyed within about ten salvos. The rest of the enemy fleet is crumbling and fleeing. The retreat countdown begins. I wait, and let it get down to two seconds. I know it's just the AI, but I'm a vindictive bastard anyway.
2.812? Interdictor, activate Gravity Well Generators.
Retreat is not an option, ladies and gentlemen.

I found out the criminal mastermind is a member of the Jamaican gang after decoding a message and where the headquarters are after wiretapping the Colombian cartel safe house in Washington.

I thought it was a single unit of Hessian Line infantry triapsing around the countryside tearing stuff up, so I sent two Minutemen. Minutemen are halfway between real Line Infantry and shitty militia, so they're pretty good. And Hessian units suck, so I thought I'd just overpower the unit real fast.
Yeah, it was two units of Hessians. So now I'm at even odds in a fight with line infantry units, and I've got irregulars. Sweet.
Anyway, I advance on them, and one unit opens fire on my left flank. My right flank was kind of at the bottom of a hill, so the enemy return fire at them went over their heads and into the dirt. As did their fire, but you can't win every time.
My left flank is getting torn up pretty severely, and I suddenly get an idiotic GENIUS plan. Bayonet charge. Except I forgot Hessians have beastly melee defence, in exchange for shitty morale and attack. I rush my units forward, one at each. The right flank collides, and starts fighting. The hessians on the left flank were somewhat farther back, so I turned my unit mid charge and fell down the enemy flank, breaking the enemies' right flank in exchange for some heavy casualities. I then continued the charge into the other hessians, and broke through their line to encircle them from within.

Minutemen are awesome.

And later, I may tell the Battle of New York. It was pretty epic.

More luck than ownage, but still.

My receptionist's voice crackles over the PA: "Epidemic warning!". I quickly scan for the contagious patients.

One of them is roughly 4 seconds away from finishing treatment in the pharmacy.

The other just finished General Diagnosis and was walking back to GP. Right past the pharmacy. I promptly 'guessed' his 100% diagnosis, and he too chugged a vial of strangely-coloured liquid.

And BAM!, epidemic over. The government came, gave me free money, and I got to smugly lean back and gloat about my cover-up.

Two snipers critically wounded with 1 turn before death, a heavy and an assault mind controlled. Final boss and an Ethereal still alive. Only troops remaining are an assault with 3HP and a psionic support (Nicknamed "Angel") with around or less than a bar. Angel is the psionic that needs to survive. Let's do this.

Okay, okay. The assault is right next to the final boss. He's got an Alloy Cannon. The boss has about 3 bars left. You can get really close to him. Can you kill him?!

NO! No! His shot hits but the final boss has 1HP left! ...Okay, Angel, it's up to you. The fate of the game lies on your one turn. You're above the endboss and a medium distance. What can you do? Not any psionic stuff--too low chance at less than 20%. ~70-80% chance with your Plasma Rifle? DO IT!

...

*Insert cheers as that one Plasma Rifle shot wins the game from the utter brink*

Truly, she was a guardian Angel. She will be missed.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Was playing Battered Bluff map Drowning Doom vs. Drowning Doom. Had a good start but was shoved back to my stage and lost all the geysers, but I was teched up enough and had enough fans that I was able to play the solo to stop them from creating more units as I built up a wall of death. Managed to recapture all the geysers and take the fight back to their stage right as she was putting out an army. Right as our units clashed and began attacking her stage, we bouth played the weeping heavens solo at the same time destroying both our armies but not before mine destroyed her stage. Brutal Legend Admittedly it was against the Brutal AI, but still.

Got attacked by bounty hunters. Lost my ships a few times, but they gave me good amounts of extra ka-pow on my ships and they went down easily so i consider this a victory.

E:
I now have 3 huge, 1 large and 2 medium particle cannons on 3 ships. Bounty hunter ships are awesome.
I replaced a ship with 2 large mounts (well, 2 medium turret mounts but fixed turret mod) and no rockets with a ship with 2 medium and one large mount AND two rockets.
But i replaced another ship with 2 rocket mounts for one with none, so that doesn't matter. I still have 6 rockets.
