Yeah me neither, unless one of the other commanders disagrees we'll leave it up to Photon. If you want to do an easy mission then reload the first file and you should get that lobby cruiser, if you want a new experience then you can load the second game and I don't know maybe get a bigger mission :P

I think we've reached the point where we can let some small-fry missions like that go. In fact I'm wondering if we've reached a comfortable point where we can choose to ignore crash sites smaller than a cruiser?

 

By the way, this game month seems pretty busy in terms of alien sub activity.

Or we could just blast through them like I did and only make a mention of the end result? That way each player either get's a couple of small missions or one proper one (Medium USO or above) Maybe call it 3 strikes and out. If your first mission is a small UFO you can either choose to leave it or just play through quickly and MC to your hearts content (like I did) and just post up the end mission screen. Same for the second mission. Then on the third you have to document it even if it is just another small one. If at any point you get a medium or larger (or more exotic mission) you document as normal and then end your turn after.

YEah I know but really where's the fn in that? Honestly I really enjoyed my one man and his tank scenario. It's a lot more fun than havign to be methodical and careful and taking screenshots and notes and such and such... Besides just because we CAN ignore these jobs doesn't mean we should. We are tasked with defending the planet here after all so it seems a bit daft to not bother with missions.

 

Besides then you'll just have one person load the game and say 'I shot sown 50 USOs but didn't go to any of them, ignored 3 terror sites, found 2 new alien bases and skipped one alien activty. Then I went to T'Leth' lol

No it's my fault sorry Si :P I've got the laptop in pieces to finish off the monitor but it's coming on pretty well so I should be able to get on with it again soon! Same goes for the UFO playthrough. If the next player wants to go first (in either one) then I'm fine with that and I'll just catch up when I get the lappy rebuilt!

To be honest, between the two AARs, I'd really like to see this one come to a conclusion considering how close we are to the end. As long as there's at least 2 or 3 of us still willing to take the turns, I think that'll do.

 

I'll move the last few posts into the discussion thread as soon as we're back up again.

Nice editing there! I didn't catch it until I was about halfway through the first one :P

 

And the AAR..I might could do some of it depending on how much time I spend on the next installment of MoO. No promises though since I might get swamped and not have time.

What's happened in the lineup since I said I'd take my next go? About 3 months ago :P Have they moved on many rounds or are we still at all-stop?

 

Edit : I see now that all this chatter is actually IN the playthrough thread. Suggest we clean it up and get both games back in action. All those in favour?

I have for now! I seem to have been suffering from an exponential growth in hobbies lately but I'm just now starting to slow down on them all! I'm going to have a check of the other threads here today and see what I can figure out about progress since I left. Will post back later on what I find. Oh and I'll take care of all this chatter in the wrong thread too if I come to any conclusions :(

The short answer is, nothing has happened at all, it's still your turn (ditto for the EU AAR).

 

The long answer is, it's the turn of whoever gets in first, as far as I care. That'll be myself if much more time goes by (even though I took the current last turns in each...).

 

Heck, I'm still waiting for someone to tack another post onto this thing, too... :(

 

I've moved the posts from the game thread to the discussion thread, but left my "fake ending" as a collective punishment of sorts (and 'cause I'm proud of it :(). Frankly I'd been intending to make that months ago (perhaps with a thread-lock to stir up some discussion), Windwalker's post marked my "last chance" so I jumped into gear and got it done...

Must remember to log some practice runs in. I've become a bit rusty after 3 months.

 

Will we continue on what we decided before the break? That is, log the epic missions as usual, otherwise if we run through simple missions, do a couple and post a summary?

Works for me. We're pretty much just running the clock until we feel we're ready to end the game, so the only point to any further missions is trooper training (which is hardly challenging/dangerous) - the next player could go to T'leth now without playing any other missions.

I'm working on a quick reference of sorts for this game and will later do the same for UFO. Then when I've done that I guess I'll try booting up the lappy to take my turn! If I haven't done so by the end of today then by all means someone else can go. But judging by the lack of progress since my disappearance I don't think that'll be an issue :(

 

EDIT : Provided I've not missed anything out, there follows a quick reference to all of our achievements so far! The only thing I'm not entirely certain of is the point at which 2 Very Small survey ships are said to be 'lost' by NKF and then 'downed' by Crazy Photon. Based on the UFO identification numbers, they MUST be the same USOs but if they were downed then noone ever carried out the missions to recover them. I presume they were destroyed which will fit nicely with all the other information I have! Only other thing I can't be sure of right now is that I'm 100% correct with the identification numbers later on in the game as not many people reference them these days. I'll know for sure when I boot up the save game from BB's last mission though and will update then if necessary!

I'm going to take a look through the UFO playthrough as well, as the numbers above show though, it really doesn't matter what order we take our turns in anymore as we're by no means equal even now!

 

EDIT2: Belay that order! I seem to have misplaced an adapter that I need in order to have a working mouse on the lappy so I can't play until I find one... Will try and relocate it asap but until then I'm out again!

A couple did vanish before anyone could attend to the crash sites. I suspect that might have been after one of my turns, possibly after the dreadnought?

 

silencer_pl's restarted with a dance and a song. Excellent. Unless there's any objections or anyone else is already doing the next turn, I might take a turn tomorrow night.
