Started a new XCOM 2 game and will add people into roles so that BYOB will be the ones saving the world. I'll add people a bit randomly unless I happen to know stuff. No customization(unless you specifically ask for an option, which are limited), so you might just be anyone, but I'll try to write a short bio(you can if it's not very long). Assigning people to rookies early game seems the best way to go and then you'll just get promoted to roles based on rng and/or whatever system is in place for that. But there is no problem with requesting a type of role and if it's open, it's yours. Enlist here and help take the planet back from the aliens that, I can't remember the lore, took over the planet somehow. I'll probably just be doing a couple missions a day. I don't have ironman on, so nobody dies harder than we can save them(you still might get shot up in the service of byob saving the whole loving world). I can give some status updates along the way. if anyone gets some spectacular saves or kills then videos might be added. I'll keep track of the roster below Roster: RavenousScoot - Ranger, 11 Missions, 27 Kills B33rChiller - Specialist, 15 Missions, 24 Kills Buttchocks - Sharpshooter, 7 Missions, 10 Kills sb hermit - Grenadier, 9 Missions, 14 Kills Nosfereefer - Ranger, 5 Missions, 3 Kills Fredrik1 - Grenadier, 5 Missions, 7 Kills barnold - Grenadier, 10 Missions, 11 Kills infrared35 - Specialist, 6 Missions, 10 Kills Captain Log - Ranger, 5 Missions, 8 Kills Tyro - Sharpshooter, 4 Missions, 4 Kills FutonForensic - Specialist, 4 Missions, 7 Kills Chrs - Sharpshooter, 3 Missions, 6 Kills Flakey - Ranger, 7 Missions, 11 Kills baka of lathspell - Specialist, 5 Missions, 11 Kills watho - Grenadier, 7 Missions, 15 Kills Finger Prince - Sharpshooter, 5 Missions, 9 Kills fps_nug - Specialist, 7 Missions, 10 Kills Doctor Dogballs - Ranger, 5 Missions, 13 Kills Those are the final stats before the last 2 missions. Won't let me see the end numbers for everyone. infrared35 was lost on the network mission. On the final mission we succeeded, but it was a full squad wipe. XCOM:Enemy Unknown - Enemy Within Flakey - Mec Trooper, 15 Missions, 33 Kills calhoun - Sniper, 17 Missions, 43 Kills Fredrik1 - Support, 15 Missions, 25 Kills RavenousScoot - Mec Trooper, 16 Missions, 52 Kills infrared35 - Mec Trooper, 14 Missions, 41 Kills Finger Prince - Sniper, 10 Missions, 17 Kills B33rChiller - Mec Trooper, 16 Missions, 50 Kills sb hermit - Mec Trooper, 14 Missions, 30 Kills watho - Mec Trooper, 15 Missions, 31 Kills Tyro - Heavy, 22 Missions, 46 Kills Nosfereefer - Sniper, 11 Missions, 15 Kills Chrs - Mec Trooper, 14 Missions, 30 Kills Buttchocks - 17 Missions, 23 Kills FutonForensic - 16 Missions, 22 Kills Captain Log - Mec Trooper, 14 Missions, 28 Kills fps_nug - Assault, 16 Missions, 29 Kills baka of lathspell - Support, 21 Missions, 31 Kills barnold - Sniper, 10 Missions, 15 Kills Doctor Dogballs - Sniper, 511 Missions, 14 Kills nesamdoom fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jun 13, 2024 |

Live posting a mission update. B33rChiller is still napping, but Rav saved my life with a nade to the only alien that had a shot on me when I busted outside and had to flashbang and hide. unnamed rookie wrapped around the building and caught the other one. everyone is doing fine. |

Well... things didn't work quite well. I retried the mission a couple times because I kept losing people. Buttchocks made the mission work out, but I died. I'll deal with that when I remember how to get me back. Buttchocks got promoted to a sharpshooter. congrats sq Rav got promoted to corporal and learned Phantom, basically has to openly walk up and slap an alien to be noticed even if everyone else is shooting Can't be bothered to run a mission over. so, i'm dead. Hopefully the kid avenges me. nesamdoom fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Apr 14, 2024 |

Will add you both at base. Mission Failing Moon successful with no deaths. sb hermit got promoted to grenadier. you've got a lot of 'splosions in your future. Buttchocks got a skill to shoot people that his friends can see, pretty much wallhacks. We have enough people for a 4 squad mission. good luck nesamdoom fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Apr 14, 2024 |

I do not require eyes. My squad is my eyes, my body. The body shall continue to function if I am injured. I am a vital organ of my squad, But only the survival of my squad matters. I shall not harm my organ, or allow it to be harmed, Except in the service of the body. I shall not discuss my organ in public. *puts on The Doors album* |

B33rChiller finally got uninjured and went out, to successfully hack the target. Promoted and unlocked the skill to remote heal. Nosfereefer was promoted and now fires back when shot at. barnold got the opening shot with a nade launcher and made the group easy clean up for the team.  RavenousScoot was just standing on a van in plain sight until poo poo started blowing up, then they noticed the obvious enemy right next to them.

My eyes roamed over the table covered with hardware, until they settled on a familiar old friend. I picked up the Benelli M1 tactical shotgun and felt the intuitive balance of it, and the familiar ergonomics. I performed a quick chamber check. It was loaded. “This’ll do. Reginald Chatterworthy, at your service.” *tips fedora*

Adding Captain Log, it's questionable if they requested(but asking about things that totally work in game works), and infrafrared35(tip your fedora, go to war). Just hooked Rav up with a laser sight that gives 10% crit chance, improving with proximity. So, blast away. We are about to go out on a mission. Also, if anyone asks, I'll put a name on your weapon. RavenousScoot posted:sounds about right, I was prob It was a great example of why I like that skill. You pretty much only got noticed, like 20 feet away standing on a van, because when the grenade round blew up the aliens moved and you were in overwatch and broke cover to blast one. All of the classes get super cool stuff, but in the end sharpshooters finish most kills. |

I can only add one til I get supplies. I'm on a forced mission I've wiped a couple times. Going to work on it when I get back home and then recruit some more slots and work on building more armour. Some big alien project is about to finish and we're going to need to upgrade the base so we can send out 6 people at once. Progress on upgraded weapons is coming along well and we're almost to upgraded basic armour and then with advanced armours it'll be pretty good to stay alive. B33rChiller is our only combat medic, so I'm going to have to get better medkits or get someone else doing that role too. So far some pretty funny moments have happened. Having an alien jump through a window and be in sight of someone on overwatch and then getting shot right back out the window was a pretty funny one I think I saved video or gif. That's an update since I've been busy and not working on missions today.

Had an idea, used magic to roll back to pre-mission and make some changes that let me get some recruits. Everyone is in now. After this big event I should be able to do more missions where people can level up and it's less crazy. |

That was dicey as gently caress. Rav almost got dead from the first civ saved(ended mission with 1hp after being healed), luckily almost everyone had a medkit. sbhermit in an EXOsuit pretty much held the whole thing together. Accuracy in this game is a joke. missing from 4 feet away is ridiculous. and 2 friggin civs ended up being these aliens that morph into human shape. That was close and really, I'm looking forward to some easier missions soon. 3/4 came out hurt. but nobody died. |

After the current mission a big event should be popping. The upgrade for more soldiers on the field is under construction. Once it's done I will be instituting a 'training, totally not babysitting' initiative to boost some of the people that have gotten less missions and are lower ranked, so get less missions. Endgame I want everyone to be so used to killing aliens that you subconsciously shoot one while eating a sandwich and nobody else notices either. Also, I'm remembering how to run the missions better with things like squad selection for roles, slowing down and not getting someone womped by busting into a place solo, and some of the paths to upgrading things to get us ready for the big fights later. |
