I promise I'm not a psycho

ERROR: DOES NOT COMPUTE

[SOLDIER First]

In all fairness, assassination is a very profitable business in a world where sniper rifles don't exist - the necessity of getting close to your target to take them out (unless you use bows but those have their own issues) allows you to charge lots and lots of gold and still get customers. It does require a certain moral bankruptcy in oneself, yes, but by no means are they all psychopaths.

Last night I wandered into a human hamlet in adventure mode, walked into the lord's home and, once I claimed the place as my own and he objected, threw my axe at him. He survived, but surrendered and I became the new lord. I was gonna invite him to stay as a hearthperson but as he was crawling to the door he bled out. His head is sat outside as a reminder of what happens when you cross me. :3

I'm not a 'crazed gunman' dad, I'm an assassin.
Well the difference being one's a job and the other's mental sickness!

Turns out I didn't have the GROM-11 *3. I had the *4. The first couple of APC's went up in flames in one shot. A few of the more armored APC's and a couple of tanks weren't blown up, they were stolen mid-battle - the tanks were stolen during a sandstorm. Props to the Support Unit for giving me a 100% on that. The first two APC's stolen were done by throwing a smoke grenade into the back of the first as it opened(immobilizing the squad inside), Fultoning it, smoke at the other APC, Fulton, then a hand grenade at where the first one was because the troops inside it dropped(unharmed) when their ride disappeared. I think a couple were counted as extracted, though.

It is a dark time for the
Catholics. Although the Umayyad
Sultanate has been destroyed,
Muslim troops have driven the
Catholic forces from Northern Africa
and pursued them across
Europe.

Evading the dreaded Abbasid
Camel Cavalry, a group of crusaders
led by Serene Doge Oberto Tocco
have established a new secret
base on the remote island
of Sardinia.

The caliph Abdul-Wahad,
obsessed with defeating wise
Oberto, has dispatched
thousands of soldiers into
the far reaches of Europe...

In other words, I got the "The Caliphate Strikes Back" achievement. In the process, the Seljuks went Zoroastrian, the Fatimids were pushed into Abyssinia, and the HRE went Orthodox followed by Jewish (all with secret cults turned off, too!), but I did it.

First, this is glorious. Second, congratulations, fellow Caliph! How long did it take you?

Formed the Arabian Empire in the late 1100s. My progress was mostly slowed by bordergore and Pisan interference--the hazy Seljuk/Fatimid border that straddles Aleppo and Arabia makes taking land there a bit of a mess, and when I took Egypt the Fatimids still had Cyrenaica, while the sultan of Africa was dealing with a revolt and had a bunch of territory taken by Pisan holy wars.

The Seljuks' unexpected conversion to Zoroastrianism did not help matters, seeing as Subjugation is much easier to spam than jihad or invasions.

[AzyWng]

Yes.

After several missions (including my first forays into the continent of Africa), I'm proud to award the Distinguished Service Medal to Glacier Cat, signifying his major contributions to the Combat Unit, and the Special Service as a whole. Though the medal requires a significant amount of courage, dedication, and determination to acquire, Glacier Cat was able to complete the necessary number of missions to earn the medal with only a Combat Unit Suitability of "C", and his example should inspire all members of Special Service to perform above the call of duty.

This man is only the first of many Combat Unit members I plan on sending out into the field, and with the promising growths in proficiency Glacier Cat has experienced (improving his Combat Unit Suitability all the way to "A"), I hope his comrades will be willing to take a direct role in accomplishing missions as well.

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening. Dismissed!

Metal Gear Solid V: TPP.

[Eric Blank]

Defeated many opponents in open battle and in villages. At war with the khergits and sarranids simultaneously, having completely consumed the swadians.

Captured Sanjar Khan in one battle, also captured three of his noyans and convinced an emir of the sultanate to join the Rhodok cause. Meanwhile the sultan is indicting half his vassals for treason anyway. Havent actually made too much headway in capturing holdings of either nation but i personally captured a castle without aid, then recaptured it by demanding the guards surrender when Graveth decided to keep it for himself and apparently posted a really weak garrison. The vaegers and nords have been mostly having a go at one another off and on for half the year, and havent declared war on us. Oh, but after Kurnias was indicted for treason and fled to the nords i convinced him to let me marry his sister, lady Timethi, since her other suitors were now in a different faction i became the defacto best candidate.

Ive got Halmar, Tilbaut castle and several villages in the ass end of nowhere i can barely keep afloat because they keep getting raided. The castle and town both have 100-strong garrisons and counting and im still making enough to keep them afloat.

And its nearly Christmas to boot.

Skyrim is so broken when playing as a master illusionist. I just got the last raw materials for my "Vittoria Vici" bow by launching soul trap and pacify so they both were in the air at the same time (soul trap a split second before pacify). This didn't even cause a pause in her speech (soul trap is considered an attack). Then I could follow up with an arrow, and finally harmony so I could walk right past the guards to loot her jewelry.

Boooring.

It's even more broken when you use harmony to pacify a whole dungeon, then just walk around slitting throats (or just walk past everyone).

In other news: I now have more quality enchanted weapons than I can ever use, all with "interesting" names...

Anyone have any suggestions for a weapon+enchantment fit for an emperor? I can smith anything, and dual enchantments are possible.

[Draignean]

Enchantment/Alchemy loop your way into a Demon Suplex Ring to increase your fist damage until you can one-punch man your way through dragons.

Then go to the Nexus and install mods so you can play an illusionist like a real man.

[SOLDIER First]

Fiery Soul Trap for damage + soul trapping, secondary would depend on what you really want to do. Could go for Fear, maybe. That would be cool.

Anything you put as a secondary with FST is also much stronger, so there's that to consider.

[milo christiansen]

Hmm... I hadn't seen that particular enchantment before. It'll probably be worth hunting down just for the coming "event".

Sadly an alchemy/enchant loop isn't feasible for this character without tremendous work, my alchemy is only at 16!

Unrelated: I oneshotted a "sleeping" ancient dragon with one of my trophy daggers! Sneaking close enough to hit one at rest practically requires a fluke, they normally take off even if they can't see you.

[Dunamisdeos]

I quit GTA V Online.

This has led to a significant improvement in the enjoyability of my game time, akin to an IRL own.
