October 1939, through some obscene bout of beginner's luck I intercept a British task force at the north end of the Minch. The luck continues when I manage to close the distance in broad daylight and submerge ahead of the task force without being detected. I let it get closer and take a peek through the periscope. Ok I fucked up and got way too close. A Renown battlecruiser is about to cross in front of me and it can't be much more than 300 meters away. I've definitely been spotted, I have to attack now before the whole task force is alerted and my plan is foiled. I make a few quick adjustments to my torpedo settings, and loose all 3 of my remaining bow torpedoes. 20 seconds later the battlecruiser is rocked by 2 massive explosions.

I dive like a madman and sit close to the seafloor in silence. The destroyers search for us as the rest of the task force passes by, we hear a few depth charges but they aren't close. Night falls and I ascent to periscope depth and take a peek. No destroyers waiting to greet us, just the Renown sitting dead in the water all alone. I reposition and launch my 1 remaining torpedo. Down she goes, and with her I finish this spectacular first patrol with over 95,000 tons of enemy shipping sent to the bottom

A group of Mutons decided to attack our base in Korea. They came all that way just to die. No soldiers or tanks were lost in that battle. Only issue is the battle won't end, if someone can help with that i would appreciate it.

Openxcom. Despite the battle not ending due to some type of bug, i feel like the mutons were thoroughly screwed up.

I do have to say that if it was later in the war, you probably wouldn't have survived that :p

On the other hand, in stock SH3, it took me about 7 missions or so to get that tonnage sunk, so well done indeed!

Openxcom. Despite the battle not ending due to some type of bug, i feel like the mutons were thoroughly screwed up.

Its possible there's an alien still alive.  If you got a message about aliens panicking they're probably staying still wherever they are.  Also, its possible in alien base missions to have aliens spawn in areas where humans normally would spawn, if there aren't enough alien spawn points.  Another possibility is that an incapacitated alien got up and is now running around without a weapon.  So really, that last alien could be anywhere.

If there is indeed a last alien.  Still, it couldn't hurt to look.

There's probably one last alien who's hiding or got himself stuck. I can't think of any instances where a battle actually never ended, just really long bug hunts where player was getting super frustrated and throwing grenades about and juuust about to give up.. When bam they found him.

[Iceblaster]

So this happened earlier however still relevant.

So I start the Gala event and then realize I have one hitpoint left. I swear under my breath and go down the ladder, somehow kill the goddamn Trapper Ghost with 9 bullets out of the 15 I had. He's down, I sneak around, get ambushed by a harvester SOMEHOW get that thing down without dying and finally reach a machine and get one stimpack, read my medicine mag and get 100 health. RUN LIKE HELL to a sink while six ghosts are chasing me, hide in a bathroom stall. Tense moment. Get to caution, sneak out and drink from the fountain while three ghosts begin walking around the room, two near misses occur however a few radaways later and I'm fully healed. I kill the nearest ghost and run like fucking hell to the Sierra Madre Casino.

Thank you, guys, he apparently ended up in a workshop and got distracted. There's a moral to this story: Never underestimate a workbench's hypnosis powers.

Muton has been struck by a fey mood!

Grugnar McSneaky, Muton, has created Gkgrkgukxankugar, An artifact Toy Boat!

[Culise]

50 or so,but I'd loaded 3 instakill moves onto it so it was kinda inevitable.

Ah.  That's...um...well, that's rather interesting, I suppose.

so no-ones going to point out that your not suppose to kill the legendarys, your suppose to capture them?
killing them isn't difficult because that is what you are suppose to Avoid doing, it's like saying you won the Indy 500 because you successfully drove over and crushed all the awards before the race started.   

TLDR: Much fail, Such facepalm.

Actually, I wasn't thinking of that at all.  I was under the impression at first that it was a Flailkarp (which is highly amusing, quite risky, and most impressive), since Magikarp only learns three moves and gets absolutely zero moves by tutor or TM to my knowledge.  Hence my complete befuddlement at a Magikarp with three OHKO moves.

This is an alien alloy Toy Boat. On the item is an image of Grugnar McSneaky the Muton and Evadne Papadakis the human in Elerium 115. Grugnar McSneaky is striking down Evadne Papadakis. The artwork relates to the killing of Evadne Papadakis by the Muton Grugnar McSneaky in the late winter of 2000. The item menaces with spikes of alien alloy.


Anyway, my first soldier has reached commander. I'm so proud of Aida Cruz. Even if she never leaves the ship thanks to her blaster launcher.

Yeah, I enjoy crushing everything with Flailkarp.

Magikarp has had Bounce since Gen 4. Though all sources I can find say it has to be tutored, and about half of those also say that it can be bred onto them, I can swear that I have caught wild ones with bounce in Diamond.

I still didn't win the match, but I flew over the ridge blasting away, took a guy out and got blasted in turn. Two of 4 rotors immediately lost, I still kept firing, though I fell to the ground. A stray hover-bot shot out the rest of my engines, but not before I could blast them out of the sky, scoring a second kill. Now I couldn't move, but I still had 3 guns. I damaged two tanks that just ignored me, and one who shot off pretty much everything before leaving me for dead... but since I wasn't out of the match yet, I was still alive. How? Well, I had one cube and a cannon left. Exactly that much. And I turned it to another flying menace, hitting them smack dab in the weakest point (the cube under their chair), scoring a third kill!
At that point a tank happened to back into me, noticed me, and blew me to pieces before I could get through his armor.

I expected more lag and less kills than this.
