X-COM RP THINK TANK (part2)

[DarkGemini24601]

Just going to summarize my thoughts now that I'm at least a little more calm. Why do I feel like crap?

I had informed the three of you (Zombie, Marine, and Frost -though Frost may be free from some of this because I don't remember what I told you exactly-) that I was going to need you for collabs. I've stated when I get back from school. So what confounds me is coming home to find that everyone I had requested got involved in something. I doubt you all just collectively forgot, so what gives? I thought we understood by now that if we post too much in one day we risk everyone not reading it all. Which practically forces me to bite the bullet and wait another day or risk overshadowing someone's post, or having my own overshadowed.

In short, whether you realized it or not, doing a crapload of other stuff makes me almost want to wait another day for Emma to arrive. And this is stuff important enough that I don't particularly want to rely on you guys multitasking.

Two terror missions in a row (2 days apart!) that will result in all of Asia leaving. Again. Whelp, time to download the dev console and 'killaliens' at the start of the mission so they can't kill any civilians. Because that's just not fair.

And maybe I'll be an honestman and get rid of any loot it gives me to balance things out. But the aliens can have wasted their resources, we'll just tell Japan we nuked the site from orbit and then somehow keep panic down...

I know i'm late to all of this but, Congratulation to Jessica on having her first child.

Ash: I told you to becarefull, Ashley rubs her head. But if you need help through the pregnancy,you can come to me.

So, has anyone here ever actually finished long war without cursing constantly and wondering why they subject themselves to torture so willingly?

My regular laptop can't handle games, so no but i'm pretty sure I would be swearing and probable throw my laptop at a wall.

EnterElysium is having the exact same issue I did in my playthrough. It's cool that the aliens are tactical and go after the highest panic contient/country, but when it results in an endless cycle of leaving that the player is powerless to stop it gets a bit silly. And how do they manage two terror missions in a row for both of us? Cruel irony...

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Seeing what the condition of the troops would be with unlimited moves. You know, its not that bad, but there's no way I could save all the civilians on the Newfoundland map without cheating a little.

And...floaters have close combat specialist. God help us.

The two things I am aware of that I had today were Emma's return where I would write for Dorian and a collab between Ayame and Mary.

I don't remeber you saying anything about wanting a collab.

I didn't say crap about Dorian. You yourself said you were excited for Buniq's return, but we'll see. I might do something today, I might not. I'm having a really bad day at this point, so we'll see if my energy holds out.

Okay, there's no reason to get all upset at us Gemi. But I can't do the collab with Buniq until Buniq actually gets here. :/

You just said yourself that Emma arrives today...I give up. I'm not mad, you're just confusing the living hell out of me with contradictory statements. And I'm too tired to explain to you how little sense you're making.

Emma, arrives today, yes, but I imagine you want to do something with Zombie first don't you? And don't act like I can't do two collabs at the same time, my thing with Andramma is just fill the time while I wait for Zombie's post anyway introducing Emma to the base.

You're right, but I was hoping to do more than just that today. Thing is, it's getting late now, and Zombie won't be back until the top of the hour if I'm lucky. Between having to do busywork in two of my classes, my nicest teacher getting mad at us today, struggling in chemistry, only getting 4-5 hours of sleep, barely being able to motivate myself to get up in the first place, everyone else doing other things and getting offered second priority with multitasking, Zombie being delayed by uncontrollable events, Long War being stupid, being patronized by being told to calm down, and so on, I'm a little tired of putting up with this day. It can always get worse. Unless I just end it by going to sleep, and I'm almost at that point of not wanting to do anything else.

If you're having a bad day don't force yourself to write. It's not suppose to be a chore it's suppose to be fun.

And if anything is going on at home or at school that you want to talk about pm me and I'll listen. We're all your friends here and we will be there for you if you need us alright?

And then he made people needlessly worry. A sure sign he should really stop talking.

Emily meets Mary and talks about the coming EXALT-fall with Ammy. She's getting some good vibes from the roomies today.

I just finished my collab with Dramma if you want to start yours.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

We'll see. I'm going to try to wake myself up a little. I'll back back in 10-15 minutes ideally, might be a little longer.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Poor, poor Lily...

 

[Frostlich1228]

So... Tomorrow expect a collab between Ammelia, Isitoq, and Buniq...

I can't explain this post in words... So I'll explain it entirely in pictures.
