Little known fact: the purple rookie outfits have built-in diapers.
But i heard brown goes well with purple, our troops surely know this.

I expected nothing less might I say, no armor and tons of medals that are not being used. Were are simply giving these rookies away to dem aliens.

I kindof agree on the armor part at least. Considering how few hp each soldier has at this point, protection is really important too. But Odd is making some hard choices and lately momentum has not been on the team's side. They need a good clean win and the recovery will happen.

I agree, if Odd can manage to swing a victory without taking huge casualties it might just give him enough space to get everyone armored and armed to the point where they won't get fucked by anything larger than a floater.
more incubators for your species i guess.

I'm okay with not going on the mission, except that Odd forgot to look at my character's stats before deciding on someone else. That felt a little like a kick in the stomach.

Is either Shen or Vahlen available for a collaboration? I'm thinking of a journal where Michael Angel is trying as hard as he can to see into places where he's not technically allowed while not actually going anywhere forbidden to him and running into one of them..

Funnily enough, was just about to post about looking for a collab. So consider me available.

I'm still waiting for Vahlen to deliver the head of an assassin into Zhang's hands.

First, I want to thank Chris for allowing me to be part of this role-play. This is my first huge RP, and I'm glad to have made many friends here on GLG. I was somewhat of a newbie here, as I found Chris' channel through Enemy Within, so I was apprehensive when it came to creating a character. I was honored to be chosen, not only as one of the "Home Team" but as the first MEC Trooper.
Now, this is where my advice (with a tinge of criticism) comes into play. The reason why I said I wasn't surprised I was KIA was because of how the MEC was used in battle. Full disclosure, I've never played Ironman Impossible. Also, this criticism isn't because I'm mad that Lamarque died, its the reasons behind it.The MEC isn't a tank, it can't take on pods of enemies, its main purpose is to be used as a support unit, not as a (for lack of a correct term) "bullet sponge". It has ZERO defense, so standing right in the open just tempts fate. The MEC was constantly out of commission because of this. Personally, whenever I move a MEC out into the open, I toss a smoke grenade so it has some semblance of defense. I know this wasn't an option on the last mission, but its a good idea for future missions.
I was already working on a character for Season 5, someone quite different than Lamarque. Expect my final journal this Friday. I find a tragic irony in the fact that Lamarque was born on Canadian soil and died on it. I also find it ironic that I asked for a color change for my MEC (more like constantly pestered) but once the new MEC was built... super badass black MEC... (nothing against our newest MEC Trooper)
my reaction
I hope that Season 4 doesn't end prematurely, I think there is still a slim chance that it can be turned around. I just can't wait for the Long War mod though, that'll bring so much to the role-play. I can't wait for the eventual Season 5.
PS I added my Gamertag and my PSN to my signature (which is the same as my name here and on Steam) if anyone wants to add me. If your PSN/Gamertag is quite different than your username here, just send a message saying "hey, its so-and-so from GLG'
