X-COM II: How Many Missions per Week is Good?

Godzilla Blitz · 02-05-2004, 05:11 PM

I'm tempted to pick up the pace of the dynasty a bit, but I don't want to overwhelm people by making them try to read too many missions all piled up on one another.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Poli · 02-05-2004, 05:13 PM

I will hurt the people that don't vote the last option. That is all.

Godzilla Blitz · 02-05-2004, 05:14 PM

Ardent, how the hell did you find this so fast?

You scare me sometimes.

Poli · 02-05-2004, 05:16 PM

X COM, must have X COM. Must become X COM AGENT...

The Afoci · 02-05-2004, 05:16 PM

AE is very scary. He is in the Navy. You know what that means....

Poli · 02-05-2004, 05:17 PM

I know this means I do not have to kill you. That is all.

This is scary. I even know where RH lives.

Too bad he has a big dog. Cool dog, but big.

kingfc22 · 02-05-2004, 05:43 PM

As many as it takes for me to come an agent. Then from there, I will go on to be the greatest plasma weilding agent X-Com has ever seen. I am willing to also knock AE off his pedastol if it means I get in faster.

Poli · 02-05-2004, 05:53 PM

At least you voted correctly. That is all.

XCOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

RawIsDan · 02-05-2004, 06:15 PM

Go at your pace GB.

Poli · 02-05-2004, 06:17 PM

I will suspend killings while we enjoy the comfortable lead we have.

I just know that when I read to catch up, taking me several hours, it never felt like "too much". But please don't burn out GB. Much better to go at a sustainable pace than to have a great spurt only to tire of writing the dynasty again.

Alf · 02-06-2004, 01:40 AM

The Speed is up to you GB.

SplitPersonality1 · 02-06-2004, 02:53 PM

SplitP1a thinks you should slow down - maybe one per week.
SplitP1b thinks you should do as many as you possibly can in a week.

As the consensus personality, SplitP1c thinks you should go fast as is comfortable for you so you don't burn out.

Keep up the good work.

Kodos · 02-06-2004, 06:32 PM

Just to mess with Ardent, I chose 1 per week.

tucker342 · 02-06-2004, 09:14 PM

as many as possible. I can read 'em all.

Uh oh, Kodos you better watch out... AE is going to come after you.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Been thinking about it for the past couple of days, and I think I'm going to try to restrain myself and keep doing 2 missions per week, probably posting them on Sunday and Thursday nights.

I was thinking I could make one big surge to the finish, but I think that we still have quite a ways to go, and I don't want to burn out, not finish, and abandon the dynasty again. I fully intend to keep going until we're done. The number of people concerned about burnout made me realize that I've already burned out twice on this, and as much as I want to only play this game, I better pay attention to my real life as well. So, slow and steady we'll go for now, although I'll probably post a few extra missions now and then to give us somewhere between 2-3 missions per week.

Poli · 02-08-2004, 11:13 AM

OK, now people have to die.
