URGENT REPORT: INDECISIVE HAS BEEN KILLED IN ACTION. Farewell soldier. His sacrifice saved the lives of Ribbz, Youphemism, AKStormthegates, Shaolin19 and Qwark. You will never be forgotten.


URGENT REPORT#2: RIBBZ HAS BEEN KILLED IN ACTION. Most veteran support unit at the time, his death will not be taken lightly. We will all learn from his selfless actions as field medic. Farewell soldier. May we see you once more in another life


This should make things simpler to those checking my status for updates. Still accepting name sign ups.



I am playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The Game of the Year winning Firaxis developed TBS game. They say for the definitive XCOM experience, name your units after family
members to completely change how to play each and every move. I don't have the heart to do so, so I've done the next best thing.

UPDATE#1:
@Doombawkz is a heavily armored badass and my most veteran unit. After being out of duty after heavy damage received, he has yet to go to the infirmary

@AK Stormthegates is my resident shock trooper, but actually got panicked during an alien encounter and shot one of our friendly units. Gave me a heart attack when an alien species I've never seen before came up to him in close range and almost made him bleed out.

@Qwark28 Just promoted him to sergeant. He requested to be a guy character, and so I made him a girl. INCREDIBLY accurate. Gonna make him a sniper. Speaking of sniper

@Shaolin 19 JESUS CHRIST THIS GUY IS A TERROR! @Youphemism , my only medic for a while was put in critical condition by a panicked Stormthegates. Both units were going to bleed out. SHAOLIN SINGLE HANDEDLY ELIMINATED ALL ENEMIES 1 TURN BEFORE OUR TWO SQUAD MATES WERE GOING TO DIE! Has overtaken Doombawks in terms of raw power, though Doombawks' rocket launchers are OP

@RiBBz22 and @Indecisive both undertook their first strike missions and performed WAY better than rookies tend to. I now have a second Medic in Ribbz. Indy, you said you wanted to be a medic as well? Your combat reports say you'd be an excellent sniper. Your call.

@Dr Morganstien , @LtLuthor and @AeroGrunt have yet to see combat.

We might pass by Florida. @Lilith @Eldriken don't worry I'll keep your home city safe.

@Yoaksssss was a gift from the council. He came pretty high ranked with good gear. Has yet to see combat duty.

@TopTierHarley has been in critical condition going on a week. Harley and Youphemism almost died and so it's gonna take some time before they see battle again ;_;

Had to make the INCREDIBLY heartbreaking decision to ignore innocent civilians being abducted in Egypt in favor of the UK. Egypt was vulnerable and defenseless since I have no satellites in that country. But I NEEDED the funding from the UK. I NEED more scientists. Too many close calls, we need to start developing alien weapons.

Two days and this game has stopped my heart more than 7 times. I see what all the fuss was about.

I hate to say it guys, but pretty soon someone is going to die. The aliens have too many tricks than I can keep up with. I swear: I will avenge your deaths. Scientists better stop fucking around and give me results.
 

Indecisive

We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
Ill be a sniper then. I love being a Sniper in shooters. Medic is usually my back up if we really need one. But ill take sniper.

Searching for an alt.
Is this a subtle joke about how I haven't been to a major yet? I'm SO SORRY. I'm all registered for SJ and GUTS3 though. This idea is awesome.

OH FUCK, FIVE COUNTRIES ARE IN DANGER OF LEAVING THE COUNCIL!

I can't be too careful keeping everyone alive. I'm going to have to make sacrifices ;_;


Is there anyone who DOESNT mind being a martyr?

UPDATE#2:
Just completed Operation Bloody Chant in Rosario Argentina. Tasked with stopping alien terror attack. Mission was labeled 'Very difficult' all missions thus far, while difficult without casualties, were labeled 'easy'. Dude...the losses...the innocents screaming...aliens I couldn't see being highlighted in darkness....I hear a woman scream....then I notice we lost another innocent. I couldn't bear to see and hear this. THEN THE MOTHERFUCKER BUSTED THROUGH OUR POSITION AND ALMOST IMPALED QWARK! @AK Stormthegates saved his life. My heart can't take this. But this mission was a success. I'm so proud of you guys.


@Qwark28 outdid himself. Has gotten 11 confirmed kills in only 7 mission. But he's gravely wounded and out of commission for 10 days.

@Doombawkz saved the most civilians. He fucking tore down a floater that so much as passed him by.

@Shaolin 19 HOLY SHEEP SHIT IS THIS GUY GOOD! He and Doombawks have the most confirmed kills. They are the highest ranking officials in my squad.

10 irl days or ingame
In game. But you don't understand: every day that passed in-game is critical. Barely anywhere yet and I country is on the verge of leaving the council because I didn't quite grasp the satellite uplink construction process. It's possible to spend 25 hours playing only to come to the horrifying conclusion that you cannot complete the final battle.
