Raven Hawk II strolls into classroom, late as usual. Unlike his father, Raven Hawk II is unfocused and lethargic, often times insubordinate. Hopping from base to base as a child destroyed his social skills as he never lived in one location for more than a year. He didn't make friends easily and did not value friends that he had. At first, his mother tried boarding school. After getting kicked out of his third boarding school, the X-COM educational stipend had run out. Not knowing what to do, Mrs. Raven Hawk sent Raven Hawk II off to X-COM bootcamp.
"Nice of you to join us, Princess! Now plant your ass on the chair and pay attention!" crowed an angry instructor. "Sir, yes, Ma'am!" Raven Hawk II retorted with a sarcastic grin. "Do I have to remind you who your ass belongs to cadet?!" the instructor yelled, this time advancing on the young man. A piercing gaze met Raven Hawk II's eyes, forcing him to avert them downward. Now that the instructor was closer, RHII could clearly read his badge: "Col. Wade Moore" "You will sit in your seat and do as I say!" Wade Moore continued, "I haven't risked my nuts out there every day to teach miscreants like you! You may think you're special because yer daddy was a Captain, buy yer not! I fought with yer father, yeah that's right, and I knew him well. I'm sure yer daddy is rolling over in his grave right now seeing what a little punk his son turned out to be. Mind you, son, I will never get you confused with yer daddy! You don't have half the sac that he had and I can see it in your eyes. To tell you the truth, I don't give a rats ass if some Sectoid splatters yer brains all over my body armor. If your sole value to X-COM is that of a body shield, yer gonna be used like one. I suggest you get yer act together and shape up or I'm going to be scraping your brains off the side of a Skyranger. Capice!" With that, Raven Hawk II sunk back into his seat and shut his hole. |

Well, maybe someone else knows of who would epitomize that award better, but I swear Japherwaki II has to at least be in the running for luckiest X-Com agent ever, so I humbly submit the name "Japherwaki II Rabbit's Foot Award". :D |

That explains it. I was still on the waiting list...the first time< g >. Lokugh |

Alright I know I'm coming into this very late, but if there's any chance of getting called up can you add me to the waiting list please?? I'm really enjoying the dynasty...I could've sworn I had this game, but I haven't been able to dig it up. You've rekindled my desire to play it... :)

Cool. Hate looking like a boot. Gotta have some medals on my chest. :D |
38 more missions to go...
Mission 41 Rich: Bronze Angel Wings Rich saved Tasan’s life by killing an Ethereal just before it shot Tasan from close range. Naiwf: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Naiwf froze in combat, jeopardizing the mission. Alf III: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Alf went under alien mind control, and stymied the entire movement of our left flank. Tasan: Rectal Horseshoe Tasan spent five minutes right in front of an alien-controlled Alf III and lived. He got shot twice from close range. Another Ethereal had him dead to rights, but Rich killed it just as it was about to shoot. He got buried by debris from a nearby Blaster Launcher missile. Despite all this, he did not suffer so much as a scratch on the mission. Mission 42 None Mission 43 None Mission 44 None Mission 45 Sublime II: Bronze Star of Terra Sublime killed three Floaters in action against a small scout UFO. Mission 46 None Mission 47 Raven Hawk: Bronze Star of Terra Chief Rum II: Bronze Star of Terra Daimyo II: Bronze Star of Terra AStott: Bronze Star of Terra Achilles: Bronze Star of Terra In a bloody terror mission against Ethereals in Berlin, these five men fought galliantly and overcame the deaths of five agents early on in the mission. Lokugh: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Blade II: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Both of these agents went under alien mind control and killed other X-COM agents. Lokugh killed two agents, one of whom was one of our bravest agents, Shorty. Daimyo II: Purple Heart Raven Hawk: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, Raven Hawk had eleven kills in eleven missions, numerous medals, and had been the key factor in turning several potentially disastrous missions into victories. For his bravery and performance over a distinguished career, we present him with the Order of Mojo. Congratulations. Shorty: Order of Mojo Shorty’s had a distinguished career of 16 missions and 16 kills. He received numerous awards, and consistently performed admirably under intense pressure. For his service, we present him with the Order of Mojo. Congratulations. Mission 48 Fonzie: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Fonzie led the charge into a UFO and killed the last alien. Wignasty: Purple Heart Alf III: Purple Heart Mission 49 Sachmo II: Bronze Star of Terra Kodos: Bronze Star of Terra Both of these agents killed three aliens on a mission against a large UFO in England. Zippy: Bronze Angel Wings Zippy killed a Sectoid inside the UFO that was just about to kill Sachmo II. (Is it just me or are we always just saving one of Sachmo’s relatives from near death?) Kerillini II: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Kerillini II panicked on this mission and had to be removed from action. He was killed by a Sectoid sniper on the return trip to the Skyranger. Kodos: Order of Mojo With this mission, Kodos racked up his 15th kill in 13 missions. His vigilant leadership, admirable performance in battle, and numerous medals merit our giving him the prestigious Order of Mojo. Congratulations! Mission 50 Blade6119 III: Silver Star of Terra Manning the Blaster Launcher, Blade6119 killed five aliens with some excellent shooting on a mission against a large UFO. His shooting was one of the key reasons why we came through the mission unscathed. Qwikshot II: Bronze Angel Wings Qwikshot’s, um, quick shooting saved Patman II from likely death. |
I'm starting to think the best way to medal is make sure half of your group is killed and survive despite that ;)

I like the name, but is it really considered good luck to have a horseshoe crammed up one's rectum? Even if it's a lucky horseshoe? :) |

Wow, its an honor to get the first one of these handed out. Bet I would have been in line for another if I'd lived through my last mission. I'll go back to my cloud in heaven now. |
Yay! Yellow Pin of Cowardice! The entire Blade family is honored...

Whew. These things take forever.
28 more to go... Mission 51 Coffee Warlord II: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Naiwf: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Rich: Yellow Pin of Cowardice All three agents either froze, panicked, or went under alien control on this mission. Although no one was wounded because of their actions, their actions severely jeopardized the mission. Thomkal II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Thomkal II panicked earlier in the battle, but was able to regain sufficient control to come back into the action. He led the charge into the UFO and killed a Sectoid in the process. Mission 52 AStott: Gold Star of Terra AStott took the point on this attack on a Sectoid battleship. Of the course of the battle, he killed five aliens in fierce, close-range fighting. Due to his stellar performance, the mission was completed with no casualties incurred. Achilles: Bronze Star of Terra Kodos: Bronze Star of Terra Achilles and Kodos were two of several agents that assaulted the interior of the huge UFO. Both managed to kill Sectoids in the initial rush into the craft. Render II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Render II led the charge into the enemy battleship. Rawisdan: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Zippy: Yellow Pin of Cowardice These agents cracked in battle and abandoned their positions. Kodos: Kodos D’oh Award While searching the interior of the raised UFO, Kodos walked right over an open floor plate and fell out of the craft. After reentering the UFO, he promptly stepped on a weak floor plate, snapped it in half, and fell out of the craft again. D’oh! Mission 53 Sachmo II: Gray Pin of Cowardice Sachmo II forgot to preload the Blaster Launcher on this mission against a UFO scout. His error led to a delay in firing a missile that would have saved both Raven Hawk and Condors, both of whom died on the mission. Mission 54 3ric III: Silver Star of Terra 3ric III took the point on the exit out of the Skyranger and came under immediate and heavy fire. Over the course of the next few minutes, he dispatched three Mutons as they furiously attacked our craft. His quick shooting turned the mission into a cakewalk. Sachmo II: Bronze Star of Terra Sachmo II redeemed himself by getting three kills with a Blaster Launcher on our first mission against Mutons. Mission 55 Tucker: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Tucker charged across an open field towards an enemy sniper that had us pinned near the Skyranger exit. He spotted the sniper and dove for cover. Seconds later, X-COM agents used his sighting to take out the sniper. Revrew: Silver Star of Terra Revrew single-handedly killed three aliens in a high-risk, fierce firefight near the entrance to the large UFO. Cam Edwards III: Bronze Star of Terra Cam killed two aliens in the battle and lost his life in a gallant charge at the enemy UFO entrance. Fonzie II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Fonzie charged the UFO entrance and killed an alien in close combat. Fonzie II: Purple Heart Mission 56 Danny Van Halen: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Danny single-handedly cleared a dangerous fissure in a rock mound, and killed an alien in the process. BYU: Bronze Badge of Kahunas BYU led the charge into the enemy UFO, and later killed the last alien as it pounced on him in a grav-lift shaft. Mission 57 None Mission 58 Coffee Warlord II: Bronze Star of Terra Coffee led the way into the German alien base, correctly identified the alien, and retreated without giving away our position. Mission 59 Achilles: Bronze Star of Terra Achilles led one charge into the UFO and killed two aliens in the process. Travis II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Travis II led a charge into the UFO. He was killed by alien fire inside the craft. Mission 60 Fonzie II: Silver Star of Terra Despite losing his lower arm early in the mission, Fonzie II returned to battle and killed two Mutons. Sachmo II: Bronze Star of Terra Both of these agents killed three aliens in fierce fighting inside a Muton base in Portugal. Sachmo II: Gold Angel Wings With the missile in shambles, Sachmo II fired a blind blaster launcher shot that set off a chain reaction that killed the Muton toting their Blaster Launcher. He later saved Fonzie II’s life with another timely shot. 3ric III: Silver Angel Wings On the verge of death, 3ric III got off a radio message alerting us to the location of enemy blaster launcher that had just blown our force apart. With his information, Sachmo II was able to take out the launcher, most likely saving the mission. Shortly after sending the message, 3ric III died from his wounds. Patman II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Patman II, severely wounded, charged an enemy position and killed a Muton. Fonzie II: Purple Heart Jeeber D: Purple Heart Patman II: Purple Heart Jfbbis: Purple Heart |
Woohoo, a Purple Heart! It might not be Kahunas or Terras, but at least it's no pin of cowardice... :)
|
A couple more...
Mission 60 Sachmo II: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, Sachmo II had gone on 16 missions and received an unprecedented 5 Bronze Star of Terra Medals, in addition to a Gold Angel Wings and a Gold Badge of Kahunas. In recognition of his service to Earth, we present Sachmo II with the Order of Mojo. Furthermore, we strike the Gray Pin of Cowardice from his record. Congrats! Achilles: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, Achilles had gone on 11 missions and logged 11 kills. His unblemished service record included three Bronze Star of Terra Medals. For his steady, distinguished record, we present him with the Order of Mojo. Congrats! |

Naiwf: Your performance gets better, though, doesn't it?
Raven Hawk: Oh! We were hoping your son would be able to carry on the tradition set by your father. This one looks to be a problem child. Be interesting to see what happens to him when he gets his first taste of combat. Let's hope some of the genes made it to him even if the personality didn't. Tasan: Yeah, I thought you were in for another one of those Horseshoes on your last mission. Two head hits and no injuries. That would have qualified. Not to be, though. gkb: Welcome! The waiting list for guard duty is short now, so you you never know what might happen. If the war takes a wrong turn, it could be a long while before we make our assault on Mars. The rate that UFOs are coming now, we've got a lot more fighting to do. Mr. Bug: Offhand, I don't remember what you did to get those two pins. It was Mr. Bug II, so it must have been very early in our game. Jeeber D: Things get better for you in the upcoming missions. :) |
Whoo! Decorated Grizzle!

A medal! A Medal! I finally got a medal!
Okay, now that we've got that out of the way--time to put some Sectoids through the blender. Let me guess. There's a gigantic, cascading waterfall ahead. Yep. No way to avoid it? Nope. Lethal, sharp rocks at the bottom? Probably. Bring it on. |
Enough medals. I want action.

Back on track. More medals. 18 more missions to go...
Mission 61 Jeeber D: Bronze Star of Terra Jeeber killed three Sectoids in a mission against a Sectoid supply ship. Mission 62 Japherwaki II: Bronze Star of Terra Japh only killed two Floaters on this mission against a medium scout, but both were under difficult circumstances. His snap decision making when he snuck up on a Floater ambush likely saved the lives of a couple of agents as well. An excellent mission worthy of a commendation. Mission 63 Danny Van Halen: Silver Star of Terra Danny killed three Floaters with expert shooting in an engagement against a medium UFO. All of them were critical hits in high pressure situations. Illinifan V: Purple Heart Mission 64 Marmel: Bronze Star of Terra Marmel killed three Floaters in some intense fighting around a large UFO. Katon: Bronze Star of Terra Katon led one of the charges into the UFO, and killed two aliens during the mission. Japherwaki II: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Japh led one of the charges into the UFO as well. He was knocked out in the process, but cleared the way for his fellow agents to finish the mission. Japherwaki II: Rectal Horseshoe Japh got hit four times with heavy plasma from point blank range as he entered the UFO. He suffered only minor scratches. Mission 65 Mr. Bug IV: Kodos D’oh Award In the heat of combat, Mr. Bug IV tossed a grenade at a Muton position. It would have helped if he had pulled the pin. Mission 66 Swaggs: Gold Star of Terra Swaggs chased down the Sectoid base commander as it tried to flee the base. He tackled it, then knocked it out with our last stun bomb. It is because of his actions that we unlocked the mystery of the alien brain on Mars. Sir Fozzie: Silver Star of Terra Sir Fozzie killed three aliens from close range in the assault on the German base. Japherwaki II: Rectal Horseshoe Aliens in the German base shot at Japh with everything: stun bombs, plasma, blaster missiles. Shots went just by him, just wide of him, exploded in front of him. They did everything but hit him. Hell, the alien manning the blaster launcher even blew himself up when he tried to kill Japh. Faced with such incredible luck, we hereby rename this award the Japherwaki II Rectal Horseshoe. Sir Fozzie: Japherwaki II Rectal Horseshoe Facing two aliens who have him dead to rights from close range, Sir Fozzie watched in amazement as the rear Sectoid shot the front Sectoid in the back, giving Sir Fozzie enough time to scramble for cover. Marmel: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Marmel ran from the fight and got mind controlled. Aliens later captured him and tortured him to death. Condors II: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Condors II got mind controlled by the aliens. Travis III: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Travis III got mind controlled by aliens and nearly killed Wolfpack. Katon: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Katon, under alien control, killed Sachmo II. X-COM agents killed him soon after. AStott: Purple Heart Mission 67 None Mission 68 None Mission 69 Danny Van Halen: Silver Angel Wings Danny ran down the Skyranger ramp—under heavy enemy fire—to administer first aid to Zippy II. After applying first aid, he dragged Zippy back up into the Skyranger. His brave actions under pressure merit a Silver Angel Wings Zippy II: Purple Heart Mission 70 None |
Wheee, a bronze star! I wasn't expecting that...
|
And even more medals....
8 more to go! (getting a wee bit tired of doing medals) Mission 71 AStott: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, AStott had 16 kills on 11 missions and an impressive collection of medals. His distinguished duty makes him the eighth agent to earn the coveted Order of Mojo! Congratulations! Mission 72 None Mission 73 None Mission 74 None Mission 75 AStott: Purple Heart Illinifan V: Purple Heart Mission 76 None Mission 77 None Mission 78 Revrew: Bronze Star of Terra Manning a Blaster Launcher, Revrew placed three perfect hits on a Supply Ship’s bridge. The shots killed the Sectoid leaders and knocked out the enemy’s PSI capabilities. This shooting made the mission much easier for the advancing agents. Afoci: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Afoci led the charge into the enemy UFO and killed a Sectoid in the process. Blade III: Purple Heart Mission 79 None Mission 80 Blade6119 IV: Kodos’ D’oh Award Blade6119 tossed a grenade that hit a tree branch two feet in front of him. The grenade exploded at his feet, wounding him badly and disrupting our entire attack. Blade6119 IV: Purple Heart Jfbbis: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, Jfbbis has logged nearly 20 missions and racked up 17 enemy kills. Although he is not a heavily decorated agent (outside of Purple Hearts), he has been one of our more reliable ones. For longevity alone he should get this award. We proudly present him with the Order of Mojo! Congrats! Danny Van Halen: Order of Mojo At this point in his career, Danny has 12 kills in 16 missions. He is one of only five agents who have received at least one of the three major mission medals: Star of Terra, Badge of Kahunas, Angel Wings. For distinguished service, we present him with the Order of Mojo! Furthermore, we strike his Pin of Cowardice from his record. Congrats! |
Whee! I've racked up a pretty decent batch of medals... Nifty!

Wow, Travis III is going to single handedly scar the family name after I and II each did such good work :(

And done!
Mission 81 None Mission 82 Naiwf: Bronze Star of Terra Naiwf placed a perfect Blaster Launcher shot right in the middle of the alien ambush on a terror mission in Nairobi. The shot killed three aliens and gave our men a fighting chance to exit the Skyranger. Jfbbis: Bronze Star of Terra Jfbbis killed two aliens with brutal efficiency in the early stages of the Nairobi Terror Mission. His crack shooting took apart the aliens’ right flank and turned the battle on our favor. Mission 83 None Mission 84 Wolfpack: Bronze Star of Terra Wolfpack killed two aliens in close combat and led a charge into the UFO. Mission 85 Alf III: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Mr. Bug IV: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Both of these agents panicked in combat, jeopardizing our mission. Mission 86 Breeze: Silver Star of Terra Breeze killed five aliens with a Blaster Launcher over the course of an engagement with a Sectoid terror ship. His shooting likely saved the mission. The Time: Silver Star of Terra The Time killed three aliens in close combat over the course of a ferocious firefight at an alien terror ship. His clutch performance helped turn the battle in our favor. Naiwf: Bronze Star of Terra Naiwf, despite having only one working eye, charged into the UFO and killed the final alien from close range. Naiwf: Bronze Badge of Kahunas Naiwf lost an eye to a gruesome wound but continued to fight. Coffee Warlord II: Gold Angel Wings In the face of an onrushing CyberDisc, Coffee rushed to Sachmo III, applied first aid, and dragged the body back to cover. His actions were of the highest bravery, and directly saved Sachmo III’s life. Kodos: Bronze Angel Wings While Coffee got Sachmo III under cover, Kodos took out the advancing CyberDisc. Without his crack shooting, both men would likely have died. Japherwaki II: Purple Heart Sachmo III: Purple Heart Naiwf: Purple Heart Mission 87 Fonzie II: Silver Star of Terra Fonzie killed four aliens, led a rush into the enemy UFO, and single-handedly saved what was looking like our first aborted mission. Condors II: Bronze Star of Terra Condors killed two aliens and made a key rush into the UFO when we were down to only four able men left on the mission. Calis: Bronze Angel Wings Calis distracted then killed an alien that had Danny Van Halen dead to rights. Travis III: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Travis went under alien control, killed Rich, and blew our tank apart. X-COM agents were forced to kill him. Danny Van Halen: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Danny cracked under combat stress, putting our mission in jeopardy. Split Personality III: Yellow Pin of Cowardice Split, um, split from Fonzie II’s side at the UFO exit. Were it not for uncommon valor on Fonzie II’s part, we could have easily lost this mission. Fonzie II: Japherwaki II Rectal Horseshoe Fonzie II took two direct hits to the chest and was lined up to be killed when inexplicably the alien retreated back into the UFO. Mission 88 None |
Now that we're all caught up with medals, let's get right back into action!
Update October 31 Less than 36 hours after we knock out three UFOs in a bloody day of fighting, the European night sky is alight with more UFOs. A small UFO touches down in Northern Africa. A medium-size Muton UFO lands near the British alien base. A large battleship dances over the continent. We launch the ASIA COM Skyranger for the African UFO, and the EU COM Skyranger for the Muton UFO that has landed in Britain. We're racing the dark with the ASIA COM Skyranger, and it becomes apparent that we’re not going to make it. With Superman on route to knock down the UFO as soon as it takes off, we send the ASIA COM Skyranger back home. However, the EU COM Skyranger will have plenty of light, and makes it to its target in plenty of time. In we go again… On board: Kodos, Wolfpack, Swaggs, Vince, ShaefIlllini, Real Deal III, Tucker II, The Time, Revrew, and Chuck U Farley. This mission will most likely go up on Saturday, maybe earlier if we get lucky. |
ardent, tucker, kingfc: Believe me, I got tired of doing the awards, too. The first dozen or so were fun, but doing 60 missions worth at one shot got tedious after a while. Each mission took from 5-20 minutes to do, so it was pretty slow going. But they needed to be done. And now that we're caught up, we won't have to delay for them any more. It's all good.
Travis: Yeah, Travis III was not a shining star in the Travis family line. Let's hope IV will be better. Vince: You're in the Skyranger now, en route to battle. AStott: Yup, your star keeps getting brighter. Regarding Kodos falling through the floor: In his defense, it was pretty smoky in there. Sachmo: Yeah, in reading over the old missions, there were a handful of agents that had great stats, great mission results, and lots of potential. Sachmo II was definitely one that I hated to see die. Raven Hawk and Shorty were two others that fit in that category. Never cracked, always came through in the clutch, and hit everything in sight. Tough losses. Fortunately, someone has always stepped up to fill empty shoes. Sterling: Actually, I know exactly who I got sick from, and I can't blame Sectoids this time. Got a vicious case of strep throat that led to ear infections in both ears and dehydration. Had I known what it was I could have gotten treatment fast, but I waited three days before going to the hospital. Was pretty much down for five days. Yuck. |
Nothing for Tasan I in his death finale? I thought he at least got wounded before finally going down in a hail of cyberdisc fire.

Quote:
Bummer. I've had 3 cases of strep in 6.5 years of being in the Navy. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get it again.- |

Nice Job on the Medals GB.
The troops in Asia are getting restless. The string on my paddle ball broke, and I am starting to lose faith in my ability to hold it together. Killing aliens is the sure fire cure for cabin fever. |
wow i actually got a medal
hopefully its a sign of good things to come and not condors III |

Just surviving 23 missions is worthy of a measure, Captain! Keep up the good work. I hope we are both still around to fight together when we go to Mars... :) |

Resisting urge to make "luggage combination" quote... I can think of at least one other thread on this board in the last couple months that turned into Spaceballs quotes galore. :D

Might it have been ... So Who's Going to Be Celebrating Festivus This Year? Ok, we need GB to bring this thread back on topic. Then again, Spaceballs is going to be about as close to "on-topic" as we're going to get. |
X-Commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
|
Hmmmm, I'm really starting to get worried about GB. This isn't like him to just disappear without letting us know what's going on...
|
I am as well. He actually feels bad when he leaves us without our X-com fix. If it was not sudden and serious, I think he would have let us know. Hope everything is ok with the little Blitzer...
|
hmmm it has been almost two weeks now since he's showed up.... I'm sure he's fine though... I hope:(
|
*Thinks a happy thought for GB*
|
Maybe the Sectoids got him... :(
|
I bet it was the Notre Dame Yankee Sectoids that got him:eek:
In all seriousness, I hope things are going okay GB... |
It is quiet. Too quiet. And thus begins Day 14 of BlitzWatch...
|
The only thing I can think, is that he got so far behind at work when he was sick that he just hasn't had any time to get here. I hope.
|
It's bizarre having somewhat personal yet completely anonymous relationships, isn't it? In all honesty, if something bad did happen, how would anyone here find out?
Hopefully that's not the case. |
I sent him an email. I hope everything is alright. I'm a bit worried at this point. :(
|
GB...... GB........ Are you out there????
|
Still no news ? :(
I really hope everything 's all right... |
Yah, this is getting scary...
