The only way an alien game type could work is if the aliens couldn't turn players over to their side so easily.
We had a guy in a mech for petes sake, and he got one kill.
You'd have to be abysmal to fail at being an alien.

I just flooded the station with superheated deathgas. That was glorious. And then I accidently commited suicide. In the escape pod of Security. At CentComm.

Oh that was you!
...Well done on your raze everything tactic though. Worked pretty well.
Though maybe we should start being more suspicious of each other. Hard to do on such a small server but hey.

Had a crazy round earlier. Get to my office and almost immediately two station engineers, both named John turn up.
One heads off to fix stuff while another goes to set up the singularity. I help to a degree, setting up the engine partly, but he's done most of the work, much faster than I would have. (Considering he took what seemed like a few short-cuts on power distribution, and plasma handling.) I take ages prepping for EVA anyway so I was glad he dealt with that for me.
Long story short, five minutes later the Singularity escapes and we have to evacuate the ship.

The first time I've ever been responsible* for releasing a singularity.

^{_{* As in supervising}}

I'm meaning to play CE for a while, but it's always taken.

Oh sorry, that's probably been me recently. I've been CE for the past few nights. If you really want it then I guess I could find something else to do, but it's a big responsibility and I'd hate to see the position vacant.

That said, I've not been CE the whole time.

Oh dear god it's actually happened.
There I was thinking that Armed Assault was the only game I wouldn't hesitate to buy for full price on day one.
And now I'm hesitating about buying it at full price on day one.
I could have gotten ArmA 2 on steam, but I specifically ordered a retail copy from a website I'd never used before. Or after.

Such a shame. I was really hoping to get the game from the Bohemia store this time around, but I probably won't if it's Steam only.

Heh. Begining of the round before it crashed, I was the traitor for all of five seconds.
How exactly does a chief engineer betray the ship? It'd be like the captain being the traitor! ...Nearly.
I like to think you guys were doomed from that moment on, but in reality I probably wouldn't have tried anything.

On a tangent though. People were asking after new game types. How about a creative/sandbox mode where we try to expand the ship by at least one room before it gets completely destroyed by some horrible disaster.
And I mean one whole. Atmospherics, electronics, the lot!

Atmosia Independence gamemode?

Fuck yes.

Nevah! Engineering can not, and will not tolerate such insubordination!
( )

Rule one of EVA bodies: Turn off your jetpack if you're next to the station.

Jetpacks? Who needs Jetpacks?! I went on at least seven EVA missions with nothing to stop me drifting away but a fire extinguisher. And I only had that after my fourth EVA.

I nearly died 4 times as xenobiologist. Sounds good enough, considering the power outage and then un-outage early on.

Also, Turned into slimeman.

Oooh, yeah that was my bad. I had incorrectly picked up that you should run the Solars THEN the Singularity. Next time I won't be so lax about my speed. (Though, if you want the power, having some help early on would be appreciated!)

We are having the longest and best round ever.

Pretty much exactly how I feel about it. It took forever, but my god was it worth it. I really got to explore the ship, while I desperately tried to keep it in the state it was in when the round started.
Though, despite a few little space carp here and there that knocked out some of the windows, I think I could have done with a slightly bigger disaster. Or, maybe one for all the crew together!

and yet, I am alive and you are dead.
it was a great round. Traitor round, sure. but it played a lot like a good extended. most of the action wasn't fixing traitor damage, but rather suspicion.

I quite agree with this too, I didn't even realise there was a traitor for most of the game, until security went nuts. Just while I was trying to fix the place. 
Though you did make me a bit suspicious of you when you went around trying to spread distrust of the HoS. You really could have done with a simple conspiracy theory right there, 'cause with the slightest of accusations against him, I would have had no idea who to trust.

Edit: And before I forget, a massive out of character thank you to the roboticist who saved my life from a case of deadly space appendix.

Scrin

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Not in my C&C. No such thing. NEVER. HAPPENED. If it was released after Generals: Zero Hour, it DOES. NOT. EXIST.

You want GDI and NOD?

Spoiler: HERE THEY ARE. (click to show/hide)

You want Red Alert?

Spoiler: HERE (click to show/hide)

Tangental rant aside, -

No, rant not put aside. This is hilarious to me, as someone who's never even played Generals yet. (I have it, I just need to find the mood to play something... Err. 'New'.)
The Scrin, as far as I understand, were introduced in Tiberian Sun's campaign. If only briefly, you certainly got a feel for their laser powers.
Y'see, I'm happy to agree that anything past generals didn't exist, simply because I haven't played that far through the series.
Hehehe.
