    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    And there's another series that is on my list of "Never played but really should at some point." I feel so uncultured.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    It was fun while it lasted. He'd probably take one look and say "What is this blur of pixels? Get Vahlen working on some new Web Cam technology." New council mission has been added!

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Long story short - yes. A soldier going out into a mission has a period of time whilst they are "fatigued". They can still be sent out during this time, but they have degraded stats for that mission and on return they are placed into the medbay and have to recover at the same rate as a medium...

    We'll see. I still fear the boss Thin Man. Also just noticed that Gahlo said "copy pasta". I approve.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I did. Engineer... didn't really work out. And my reasons for not being a pilot were the same as yours, and you don't get that interaction with the other people around base because half the time your "base" is literally a hangar and that's it (at least, that's the impression I get from the...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I'm currently torn between soldier and scientist. Really it'll depend on how many positions are open, how many people are applying for those positions and the difficulty Odd will play on. I mention difficulty because the Long War page specifically states that people and battles will be lost, and...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Just thought I'd address something. You may or may not have noticed (I don't know how much attention you may or may not have been paying) that my little thing above was a little... vague in some areas. This is intentional. Certain things in there have a bearing on, may return related to etc, etc...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Name: Isaac Anderson Occupation: Contract Assassin [I'm going to paraphrase my application here. Isaac has MPD after his family was killed by... let's say, "disgruntled associates". He is not the best assassin in the world, but he is the most feared among the criminal underworld. His other...

    You don't mind if I chuck Isaac in here, do you? I mean, he wasn't an "accepted candidate".

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I can verify this. Kept redirecting me to some site trying to sell me website coding. This is the first time I've been able to actually access this site since zombie arose from the dead and posted.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    ... Really? Interesting. Less competition for position of scientist then. (Steeples fingers) It's all falling into place...

    XCOM Multiplayer Tournament

    Match with Taugaunt - wait, didn't we already go through this? ... waddya mean, "there was another one"?! Fine then, what were the results? ... That's exactly the same as last time! What's the point of this? Alright, alright, fine, I'll put it down, you don't have to pull that out... Ahem. Match...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    If the rules are anything like they were last season? NO. According to those rules, The Bureau doesn't even come into play. It's probably best to wait until the actual season is starting before asking such questions anyway. They'll likely be answered, again, in the rules, e.g.: no contact with...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I like this strategy. Taking it is fine. Knowing when to use it, now there's the trick. Is it better to save it for later and risk this weaker individual getting shot down, or use it now to save them but risk someone bleeding out later? Decisions, decisions.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    ... because tactically it makes little sense?

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Ah, it all makes sense now. Gahlo's obviously Aussie. This is the only possible explanation.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Interesting to note that Odd hasn't chucked a Mass Effect this time. "I have no idea when I'll start the next one..." NEXT DAY "So I decided to start the next one..." Take a break if you want to, Odd. You've had a long time playing XCOM, 4 seasons of RP and the other ones you did on the side...

    Haha, good joke. Wait. Really? I'm honestly not sure whether I should take you seriously or not (though I'm thinking you may be serious). If you aren't shitting us, then my heartfelt congratulations to you two. If you are, then you're a horrible person.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    ... Why is that such a popular quirk? Both Zombie and myself had that last season (well, the applications did. Never eventuated. BTW, would that be considered "applying for multiple characters"? Best get that cleared up before risking that again.) GODAMMIT MAN. I was gonna say that! Admittedly...
