Vote to change Nico's nickname to No-hit. For all those 75% misses on the Exalt op.

Znorelag should still be nicknamed Legs because I remember on his first mission he never had enough movement to get to where you wanted him to go and on his last mission he didnt have enough movement to get to safety.

As I listen to the two of you talking about the cars going by I was half waiting for you to change your mind about saving a world with driving like that. Like, you know what? If the aliens are going to get rid of blind-spot driving assholes, then bring down the plasma.

I feel mildly slighted by the 'No-Hit' nickname, with my second highest K/M ratio among snipers. "Flak" might be fitting, given how I can only seem to hit Floaters and Seekers with any reliability, though.

But Niko already has a nickname. Right? Or am I missing something? Still also 100% in favour of Hiho being nicked "she" or "Shero"

yes. But I feel this is a good way to intorduce the concept of re-nicknaming people for ones who maybe haven't got a nickname that properly captures the essence of who they've become.

Maybe hiho could be buckets? Because of the game, you see. And the buckets of blood she brings as an assault.

Wheany posted:Except as soon as Sectopods appeared, [ChristopherOdd] has gone off the rails. I'm watching the final mission now and he must have hit his head really hard at some point because he has forgot every ability except "shoot gun at enemy". Psi-ops? Shoot gun. Specialist? Shoot gun. The Avatar? Shoot gun. Even with his lovely aim and 100% mind control on gatekeepers? Usually "shoot gun". Mind controlled unit any time he remembers he has the ability? Well, his only purpose is to stand there and get shot by all the other soldiers. Don't use him for scouting or anything. I mean I guess that's one way to remove a unit from the fight. Hold on to those blaster bombs, you might need them more in some later mission

To be fair, 'shoot gun' is a very effective ability and the majority of your killing power.

Wheany posted:No, it's actually "use explosive". It's 4+ damage per enemy in the blast radius, + up to 4 extra damage per every "shoot gun" afterwards if the enemies were armored + status effects and damage per turn with special explosives. Or you could just use pistol, then lightning hands, then fan fire on a sectopod with 7 armor If you use bluescreen rounds it's just fine! And I mean, there's a reason I used

It's funny because I took a break from this forum for like 10 days to finish a project, and when I come back I see I only missed one episode. I'm sort of relieved that I didn't have to binge three or four hours of this stuff to get caught up (not that it isn't entertaining, I just don't have that kind of time right now).
