I vote we keep it together. Fragmenting everything will just complicate matters. I don't think keeping it together will result in any confusion re: when posts are from Chile or the Avenger (provided people mark them as such, which we already do).

I'll second the motion that we need to talk here more. I miss the bants, fellas.

What have I been up to? A whole lot of nothing, honestly. After a hectic few weeks, and making the mission, I've sort of burnt myself out a little in terms of how much energy I'm willing to invest in my gaming. I'm taking a break from games like XCOM, Overwatch, CSGO and basically anything requiring a large amount of thought or attention, and I've mostly been playing things like DOOM, Warframe, and (bizarrely) Civ 5. I'm getting the energy to go back to my usual rotation of games, but for now I'm content to just murder things without much thought or effort and spread Judaism as Germany. This is probably also why I haven't posted anything since my mission - aside from lack of ideas (I did have one, but that's already been covered in a collab), I can't be bothered to sit down and write stuff myself. Should be recovered from my bout of excessive laziness soon, though. Then normal service will resume.
I'm in the same boat except I am limited to an Xbox and I can't buy any new games due to being a broke ass bitch. When I get a job hopefully that will change.

You know, the entire time I'd been designing the operation in Chile I forgot that the Texas flag is nigh-identical to theirs. (Huh... preceded the Republic of Texas by twenty years. Interesting. Did we copy them, or do we just think alike?)

I'd like to note that ADVENT has improved their armor so they'll be harder to kill now. Good thing the extended operation will feature Resistance allies to make up for that problem with strength in numbers.

So... I was thinking of working on the first mission tomorrow after Gem's intro. I know it is a bit short notice, but will anyone be available to work on it?

So, due to certain... extenuating circumstances beyond anyone's control, the intro to our Chilean adventure was delayed. But it should be posted tonight, and the first mission will follow it closely, so you guys can then put any other things about our time in Chili.

Please check out the XCOM2 Biography page for a bio on the leader of the UCFF, Jorge 'Taruca' Rivera, and a short history on the UCFF.

Alright, all. First mission is up. :D You'll note it is dated for Aug. 6th. The next mission is late at night Aug 9th, so date any posts with that in mind. I'm hoping to work on the next mission on Thursday or Friday. Dahl and Frost were on this mission. So the next one I need Pixy, Black0ut, and Marine. All three would be nice, but if not possible, at least two of you, so... you know, check the ol' schedules. Gem left me and Marine with 4 missions, and this is, more or less, the largest of the three, so it'll probably take several hours, but if we can work on both Thursday and Friday we could have it up by Saturday.
