It was just for honor and to test out our unused squads. Does it matter?

Thenlar vs. wolfb. Match 1: Whose pet alien is best!? Location: Bar Thenlar's troopers were out on the town, and happened into another squad of XCom's finest. Turns out, these human troopers had both taken on aliens as pets(!?). An argument broke out over whose was best. Wolfb had just a...

Ryan Chen, Rookie. Personal Log, March 15th. Well, third time outside the wire went better. No injuries to our people, buncha dead aliens. Plus apparently some new ... thing got lost in a rocket blast. Eh, war is hell, huh? I was scouting around in the hangar, when I saw one of those big ass...

Yeah I know. Just ranting, I guess.

Being that XCOM is ostensibly a military organization, I really doubt an elected "leader" would hold any power over anyone of higher rank. Military forces are not democracies, they are tyrannies. In particular here, rank is bestowed through experience and competence in battle (being on...

Aww, poor Ryan, getting a bad rap already.

Oh, Ryan would just love to make his acquaintance. Quite frankly after a battle, there's got to be a ton of stuff lying around, and you guys are there first, and probably have some spare transport capacity at times. Little bit of battlefield salvaging never hurt anyone.

In 4 days? I posted my rp journal 2 days ago, heh. I'm going out tonight, will you be around late tomorrow? I'm in EST.

(( Collaboration with too_spooked and Sarge-Pepper in spooked's post here. )) (( Collaboration with PrinceZarek in his post here. )) Ryan Chen, Rookie. Personal Log, March 4th. Well, round 2 against the aliens didn't go as well. No dead, but four troopers in the hospital from some nasty-ass...

Well, you're always welcome to get involved in Ryan's black market schemes, as a customer or even supplier (or both!)._

That's really involved, though. A big time commitment, which not everyone could necessarily make. I work full time and live with my girlfriend, I do have limits on available time.

We ought to assign opponents and then let players work out their own schedule. Though with 9, we might want to do 3man round robin setups.

If anyone in the infirmary would like to hold a short conversation, let me know! Ryan has a gift that should help pass the time stuck in bed.

Tile watching isn't a big problem because it's rather time consuming.

Sure I'm in. If we're keeping it friendly, we'll probably want to limit mimetic skin troops to a max of 1. Snipers are just snipers. They're dangerous, but they have weaknesses too. And generally expensive.

You'll never get an Exterminatus order for Holy Terra, sadly. We could always watch Independence Day. Little America centric, but there is the bit about showing other countries taking down mother ships.

Double benefit for Ryan. Useful training for civilian life if he survives the war, plus if he's allowed to work the workshops as an intern or whatever, he might be able to use the fabricators for fun things during downtime!

Naïve to her own naivety, eh?

I find it amusing that Rebecca is confused by the bar's presence. In my experience, soldiers will practically riot if you don't let them drink (not that every one is a boozer, but certainly a lot). We're still a semi secret organization. Can't let us leave the base to go to a local bar, where...

Sure. You can always chat with Ryan. He's a Canadian-born Chinese, plus he'd like to know what qualifications the actual hired engineers have (and then realize he was drastically under qualified when he applied).
