let me remind you that fun is in fact against the rules
COs who's gimmick is "lol I'm literally hitler" and get out of everything easily because their buddies are on staff
that I can't rip the limbs off of players who annoy me with stupid ahelp requests anymore.
The disconnect between IC and OOC when it comes to the aliens hijacking the shuttle. ICly it makes perfect sense to pull out if you're losing and everyone is getting killed. OOCly it makes sense that the game needs to continue somehow if the round doesn't just end on evac. But OOC it's stupid to evac from a well-defended FOB to a ship that will 100% be boarded with roughly 3 minutes to prepare.
I am so unbelievably tired of hearing the evac call, packing up, then sitting around for 10 minutes being unable to do anything while RP'ing a complete moron. "What, the shuttle left by itself??? That's crazy, what happened? No one is piloting it? Surely the xenos can't pilot it, right?" You know, despite the fact that it was just sent down to an LZ completely overrun by xenos, and this happens literally almost every game during lowpop hours. I don't personally care for the first contact rule, but it really doesn't have an enormous effect on gameplay, as you're still going to avoid facehuggers, stomp the weeds that slow you down, and shoot at the hostile aliens. But being forced to roleplay complete stupidity and obliviousness in the face of what is CLEARLY the umpteenth boarding party of the day, being obligated by rules to not prepare defenses, and then getting inevitably overrun on the ship is just becoming really tired.
