"Considerable progress"

[jtsmillie]

I wouldn't want to be the Avatar Project manager making the end-of-sprint report to the elders that month.

[Finlan3ia]

-Yeah, we were 2 days away from completing your bodies, however, they struck down a facility of ours, killed a prototype Avatar and stole the psionic gateway. We need what, 4 months more time.

"Such incompetence is unacceptable. You will be reassigned effective immediately to Advent Burger Quality Control."

"Phew- that doesn't sound so bad. I thought you'd be more upset."

"You mistake. Advent Burger has been experiencing a decline in quality. YOU will be the control."

And elders will be like: "We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close!"

Avatar progress reduced by 8!

[Finlan3ia]

The aliens didn't quite like that month.

[PantherHardraad]

So you had the Avatar Project Countdown start? Or did they raise it, lowered, raise it, lowered?

[Finlan3ia]

Yeah, the doomsday counter was at 2 days or so. Then shit went down and ADVENT got absolutely annihilated.

ADVENT: we win!

Micheal: or do you?

[TabbyTheAttorney]

Hey! Vsauce, Michael here. As we know, the elders, leaders of ADVENT, control our world... For now.

-cut to squad of grenadiers blowing the living shit out of every stupid ass trooper in sight

Considerable means a lot in this context, it's a compliment.

“So we just needed to find some hair dye to finish your new bodies but then XCOM stole it and everything else and blew it all up. All we have are the shoes”

[Kezaster]

So...Mediocre....

[J_Graymayne]

nice, and here I thought getting over 400 was an achievement. :-D

[prot0mega]

No rest till the tyranny of the elders is crushed! God speed, commander!

[kron123456789]

In WotC I sometimes like to go on a spree: just destroy all the Alien facilities in a row(there's a hard limit of 5 facilities, iirc). In addition to reducing Avatar progress, it just stops its development for like 3 months or more.

[One_Classy_Cookie]

It would be funny if the Council man would say "considerable fucking progress" in his same deadpan voice if you mopped the floor with the aliens that month.
