Pretty solid theory. I like it, personally.

Hokuchiyo's last post reminded me of the Halo 1 Flood introduction scene. The memories...

At first I wondered if perhaps the game could be abused by having all team members take up all the available squares on the truck cab roof. My thought was the difference in height between the cab roof and the truck's back roof would save the team from melee attacks (the cab roof was already...

Possibly, but that lie would never last. There were scores of human beings involved in any decision to deploy a nuclear weapon, and someone somewhere in the process wondered if perhaps it was necessary, if it could have been accomplished without such a great sacrifice of life. And that person...

I doubt any nation is under-reacting to the aliens' invasion. They may not be supporting XCOM because they feel XCOM won't protect them, but they are doing everything in their power to save themselves.

You're misrepresenting what is happening. Every person, every nation, every shadow team and government organization has limited resources. That is an immutable fact of life. The question is how much of your limited resources you spend, where do you spend them, how do you measure the return on...

XCOM simply doesn't have the resources to monitor, operate, & secure a nuclear silo. They're stretched thin building their own base, researching tech, and setting up an anti-UFO air force. It's far easier and less risky to leave it in the hands of the military already controlling it. Now, if...

I have a conversation with my fellow fury waiting to go up, but I've been reticent to post it since it is outside of XCOM's vision. Permission granted? Edit: I want to participate in the Long War Modded role play whenever that happens.

XCOM wouldn't have nukes. Nukes remain in the sovereign control of nuclear-weaponized countries. Can you imagine being a nuclear country and giving your nukes to a multi-national organization you don't have any control over? A multi-national organization with countries in it that already had...

If it happens, Annette spent some time as their captive, could do some joint work on expanding that :)

I don't really think of the aliens as "covert" at this point in time... The aliens have been doing terror missions all across the globe already. They are running roughshod everywhere XCOM isn't. For every repelled abduction, two go unabaited. Civilians should be afraid. XCOM can't hire all the...

Listen Mr. Reaper-Bad-Luck-Charm-in-a-beard, you stay away from my girl, she just wants a place to belong. </3 Lol

For serious... I'm beginning to think the team came to XCOM thinking they'd be playing a video game shooting aliens. Every time they panicked I felt like yelling out "Put your game face on, soldier!". Lol.

You did a really great job this season. I was really looking forward to interacting with Rebecca. She was complex and well designed. The only thing I didn't really like about the background document dealt with all the references to anime shows, etc. While I understand we are all influenced by...

I hadn't noticed that. That's a very intriguing fact! Worth studying. Maybe it's more likely to happen to assaults because of Run and Gun usage?
