--- WotC Season 9 Scoreboard #17 (through Ep. 100) --- This campaign has now reached the historic century mark, the first XCOM 2 campaign in channel history to do so, and there’s still a lot of game left to play! Ines "Hija de la Oscuridad" Contreras regains her lead in Total Damage (1411) with an excellent performance on ep. 98. In the process, "Hija de la Oscuridad" earned her roster-leading 10th MVP award, two clear of any other soldier, and at least double the tally of everyone besides "Shrike" and "Snow Queen". Her massive array of multi-shots and overwatches even has Oscuridad moving up close behind her bondmate John "Old Man" Smith’s heretofore unassailable lead for most shots fired. Dacnis "Knightfather" Joyeuse continues to lead the way in Total Kills with 87 - the only soldier so far to even reach 80, and almost certainly the first time in channel history that the leading kills tally has been this far behind the episode number. None of the other stats leaders saw any action during this block of missions, so Lyusa "Snow Queen" Kuznetsov (KPM and DPM), Anna "Tourist" Carpenter (Accuracy), and Calibos "Mayuri" Kraken (EAS) continue to hold their top spots. At the bottom of the EAS list, however, some previous contenders managed to put together strong performances, leaving Dino "Nova" Zo to 99%-whiff his way into the basement at -4.96. EAS in general has been quite a roller-coaster since about the early 70s, where a stretch with 4 out of 5 missions in the heavily-negative EAS was followed by 13 straight with positive EAS, followed by 5 straight in the negatives with a combined total of -16.38! Hildi "Jotun" Gulbrandr became the 17th casualty of the season, though once again the Commander did manage to avoid taking multiple casualties on one mission for the first time this season. For anyone wondering who the most cursed person to have alongside your soldier on a mission is, that will now be a tracked statistic. The initial winners of that highly dubious honor are John "Old Man" Smith and Jessica "Geo" Strauss, who have each been present for 5 soldier deaths so far. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MEfLH7i1aA_s64smLJQLgOz3yULjJem-HfnwObtMqME/edit?usp=sharing

@irregularassassin6380 Ай бұрын

Geo's logs in the RP server have been discussing how cursed she is, and how her squadmates keep dying around her, so seeing the stats on that is great! Also, sad, but definitely appreciated.

Anna Carpenter Journal Entry #13 (ep. 101) January 21st, 2036 Well, I've mostly recovered from surgery, guess I have a second heart now? It's weird, I feel a lot more energetic and jittery now, but I'm also really hungry, like all the time. I feel like I'm eating the kitchen out of an inventory with how much food I have "borrowed". Gotta tell chief I am sorry for stealing from him, cuz he banned me from the mess hall. Not my fault he keeps the fridge unlocked. What was I writing about? Oh yeah the missions. Just came back from a tunnel sweep to go blow up a psionic relay. as per usual, I was put smack dab at the front to check things out. First thing first is we ran into this giant mechtapod thing. Never seen anything like it. How the hell did the aliens fit this 12 foot giant walking tank into a tunnel, and why????? Doesn't matter, cuz we took it out quick. Claymore cracked it open, other guys fried it after. Beyond that we ran into another sectopod, and some EXALT. I missed a lot of my shots opening for the squad. I don't know if it's cause of my surgery or if I'm just losing my edge, but I really gotta lock in more out there. Anyways we took them out then met their accompanying skirmisher. He gave a good fight, Knocked Nova around pretty good. He went down eventually though, and relay was blown up by...... something... All in all a better op then the ones I have been going on recently, even if everyone but me got knicked by something. Think I am going to put more time in the range, see if I can work these jitters out. Maybe pay chief another visit, don't think he has changed his locks...

Commander, it might be surprising news to you as it were to me but I discovered that during the hacking action you can still change your selection while the "hack" bar is moving. If you see that the "hack" bar might not reach the 56% threshold for controlling the Sectopod you can still change it at the last second and go for the shutdown instead but only while the hack bar is moving.

----- Major Amy "Collux" Penton Log 101 ----- Amy sighed, and then smiled, or tried to. "You know what, that is an excellent question, Captain. I believe I have, but only ones controlled by Advent or the aliens. Never feral ones like the ones that are apparently on this mission." She turned to Cybernetic to see if he wanted to chime in but he stood there dead still and gave only stone cold silence as his answer. We're going to have to loosen him up at some point, not sure how or when though. "I imagine these feral ones will be a little more predatory and territorial, but since they are the offspring of rejected Advent chryssalid experiments, or so I've heard, we'll have to be extra careful. Have you fought them before?" He frowned. "No, I have not. I have only battled the forces of ADVENT, select members of the Requiem Legion, and the Drak Ten. There have been no chryssalids present in any of the three prior engagements I have fought." "No worries, we have an on board bestiary, have you had time to look through their strengths and weaknesses? Again, don't worry if not, maybe I'll show you when we get back. It helps to check on it every now and then to keep up to date with the advancements the Chosen and Advent are making, as well as those Exalt guys too." There was silence for a little while. Cybernetic stood stock still and silent through their whole conversation as if he just wasn't there. Old Man and Snow Queen came through the door, gave Collux and Karma a cursory wave before getting their gear sorted. Amy sort to strike up conversation again. "So, I heard that you are or were part of Advent or the Skirmishers for a while. I understand if you don't want to talk about it, but I'm interested in knowing a little more while we wait for Siberian to join us." ----- End Log -----

I would not say possibly taking that Suppressing Fire on the Mechapede was not needed, the suppression may have helped to avoid getting hit when it shot back. But not a big difference in the grand scheme of things after only getting grazed thanks to Aid Protocol. In the case of the Shinanim, though, may have countered the crit... With Failsafe, taking the coin flip on the Sectopod may have even been a good idea, but shutting it down for sure and removing it from the equation for a while certainly was the more safe choice.

JK lol) 45:59, so when Geo shot the Shinanim, did you notice that his return shot at your other unit was 100% hit, 100% crit? That may be part of the shinanim's requiem "group bonus", not sure. But, the point I wanted to make is, if you cannot counter a Requiem unit's reaction, suppress them. I would have done suppressing fire there. Maybe he still has 100% hit/crit on that flank shot, but maybe not?

I agree. Progress the plot already, these piddly missions for minor gains, or scanning for a soldier for what seems like 20 missions is getting old. Research some plot advancing items, and do some plot advancing missions already.
