T11: X-Com

Bobethy spots... er... nothing?
the game shows he spotted something, but when i center on it, there's nothing there!
Well, Bobethy zaps the... nothing, which reveals an invisible muton! (which was killed).
guess it's the old "invisible alien" bug. odd thing is that he wasn't invisible after he woke up, just now

T11: Alien

Like... wow! A muton throws a grenade at Danny252 and as if that wasn't enough, he zaps him twice afterwards (killing him)! The grenade then blows up and clears Danny252's body.

(by order of death)
1st - waywreth

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Seriously though, that's the 3rd time now I think. Yeesh.

[Admiral Harkov]

Same me. But hey!, we're dead, that's what happens when the time has been stopped for so long!

[Agent Orange]

Haven't checked back here for a while, but i'm still alive and kicking. Appearantly, not in the game, though. At least i got a kill!

Supsuper, you gotta continue this, darnit! Or did you get zapped by the aliens?

[Blehm 98]

i don't know why supsuper left the game, but it probably got boreing.

hmm, welcome back

[ATeX]

Ok, I died still joining any battles?

btw, keep up the good work!


cheers,
ATeX

[SupSuper]

damn, so long since i last worked on this. sorry about that ppl, i just haven't had time, and i believe there's much i gotta do, like get all lost soldiers ressurected, check if all soldiers are properly placed, whether new skyrangers are coming or not, etc. (i forgot if that's all taken care of or not)

though, good news for the SKYRANGER-4 team. since the SKYRANGER-3 team lost their craft, they're gonna need a new one. but SKYRANGER-4 was before them in "needing a new craft" so SKYRANGER-4's gonna take the (now clear) hangar while SKYRANGER-3 will have to wait for the new hangar.
so put shortly, SKYRANGER-4 and SKYRANGER-3 switch places, SKYRANGER-4 now being before SKYRANGER-3 in the list and not after

are you sure? i'll give Tsereve your place (since he asked for a spot) so you won't be able to get back in.

[mikker]

Yeah Mustang - it's just 1277 posts. Nothing big, right?

[Mustang]

I guess I'll read it all
Keep me in

[Mustang]

I read through the entire thing and just to say, the most tedious thing ever:
click
open
wait
wait
*zip appears with nothing in it*

Basically it was annoying having to watch all those movies so I stopped watching

yes, ppl complained about that, so i switched back to screenshots. besides, you're not forced to view them, text is pretty descriptive (i think)

[mikker]

jjust turn off your firewall. Easy as pie.

Does this mean earth is lost?

[Mysticfist]

nice post.
I wait to see the end attack

[SupSuper]

sad news on the FMIX front. now that i went to check again on my X-Com game, the saved game is... well, gone. as well as my x-com1 game. i must've deleted it in one of my cleaning sprees.
maybe this isn't so bad. i mean, the whole thing was becoming a mess with far too many members (most of which inactive), but i'm still not sure if i should restart it, since it was getting pretty dead and losing all the initial fun it was in the beginning.

also, i think the game was bork'd. i reinstalled X-Com 1 CE with all the patches to fix sound and music and played an ironman game and it was much, but much harder than FMIX. basically, of 5 missions i got, only 1 was won. 40 soldiers, 1 skyranger and lots of guns were lost. the last mission was won with only one survivor. unfortunately, a very large ufo came into the base before new soldiers arrived and GAME OVER.

anyways, this thread and the GS are being closed. you can still discuss here:
