    *patpat* Kidding, my good man.

    I wonder how many other Dwarf Fortress styled games there are. I feel like playing one now, but something with better graphics and maybe a bit more functionality. Not sure if such a thing exists though.

    Psychotic, those badges are brilliant.

    As for the Let's Plays I did a Civ IV one on Hux and I's blog already (although it wasn't too terribly exciting, I don't think), and I actually did start up a draft for a SMAC one but then I didn't like the way the game was going so I'll probably restart.

    You know what I want to do now? EoFF Oregon Trail. Who wants to die of dysentery?

    I was doing a LP but nobody cared because it was a WW2 grand strategy game with lots of numbers

    Let's see how many ways we can point out that this game is not X-Com.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    If you are able to consistently carry out an EoFF X-Com to the point of at least 12 missions being carried out and then keep playing on through to our inevitable deaths, I will vouch for you becoming an RM.

    There were two!? Shows how oblivious I was. But that makes sense, as when I was looking at the thread I had posted, I couldn't help thinking that it was way longer. Glad that was the case, I'll have to read over that thread as well when I'm home again.

    Most kills.

    If you do this, I wouldn't mind being a co-collaborator in making it look pretty (as long as you're happy splitting your forces into small teams!) and also doing co-commentary on you playing it.

    OH GOD HELLO MARICK

    (SPOILER)

    So like, what you could do is have this before each mission.

    ATTENDING THE MISSION:

    Psychotic Auto-Cannon
    Dignified Pauper Rocketeer
    Loony BoB Rifleman
    ShlupQuack Rifleman
    Old Manus Grenadier

    [/center]
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Rantzien Rifleman
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Del Murder Scout
    [/center]
    [/center]
    DK Rocketeer
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Vivi22 Medic
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Levian Rifleman


    I threw flags in as it seemed a bit empty and I didn't know what else to put on there I thought about kills, but that's a bit confusing as people may mistake it for kills made during the mission? Either way, I think these look pretty tasty. Maybe we can fire up some inter-team rivalry.

    The other two teams I designed are here, in case you want to split into 3 or 4 teams in battle. Or if we make another base or if two teams merge etc etc:

    Psychotic Auto-Cannon
    Dignified Pauper Rocketeer
    Loony BoB Rifleman
    ShlupQuack Rifleman
    Old Manus Grenadier

    [/center]
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Rantzien Rifleman
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Del Murder Scout
    [/center]
    [/center]
    DK Rocketeer
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Vivi22 Medic
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Levian Rifleman


    I'm not too sure about the Tonberry colour scheme. I mean, it works, it's a smurfin' tonberry, but if I know EoFFers they may piss and moan about it because that's what they do. What do you think? Would you make a "OMG SO UGLY/CAN'T READ" post? If not, we'll keep it, and smurf the lot of them.

    In the first post we can have these:


    Rank - nationality - name - missions completed - kills.
    Psychotic 10 5
    Dignified Pauper 7 7
    Loony BoB 7 7
    ShlupQuack 7 7
    Old Manus 7 7
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Del Murder 7 7
    [/center]
    [/center]
    DK 7 7
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Vivi22 7 7
    [/center]
    [/center]
    Levian 7 7
    [/center]


    Rank - nationality - name - missions completed - kills.

    [/center]

    Yeah I was entirely too lazy to add new sets of data. The border gets a bit janky near the middle for some reason, I probably missed something when merging the two mini tables together and I cba to figure out what it is and fix it. The real thing won't have that. Probably.

    I thought about adding more stats, like stuns, friendly fires etc. like you had in the other X-COM threads, but then I thought I really cba to keep track of those. It's up to you if you want them in though.

    OMG! I don't even know how we would do that, but that sounds way more exciting than playing alone with no one else to shout "DAMNIT DP! YOU MARICK!"
