I'm also suddenly curious about those LPs. Did you come in late or just make it all the way through as a godlike being of supreme power? Do you have links or names?

I remember at least one or two X-COM LP's dying halfway through (can't remember if GG had any characters in those though).

So McCannonFodder is what, a captain now? Are you aware that the death of a such high ranking member might very easily cause a few jumpy recruits to go apeshit insane on a mission? Not that that's going to be a problem as long as you keep CannonFodder alive, but it's a good thing to know.

I mentioned that earlier in the thread so he should know by now. Come comrade, let use ride on the circular alien discs and drink heartly for our fallen comrades!

MY last one was the first completion - The X-Com: Apocalypse Game (which is admittedly a bit easier to survive through all the way).

The other two died before I could.

[Sirus]

I've signed up for three X-COM lp's, but this is the only one that didn't die shortly after I signed up and before I could see any action. So I guess I've technically survived two games so far

In that one, I died again and again and again, sort of the opposite of this one.  Seriously, how am I still alive?

And the rest died before halfway.  X-COM LP's live about as long as X-COM recruits.  Here's hoping this one reaches completion!  For the Fortress!

REQUEST: I WISH TO RIDE A CYBERDISC...

Urist also seconds comrade Monkeyhead's idea.

Dr. Euchre would gladly be willing to head a research team with a large grant until this goal is achieved.  It would truly be glorious!

[As a aside, since Monkeyhead is a war robot, and cyberdiscs are alien hover robots, would the Hovertanks qualify as Monkeyhead riding a Cyberdisc?  I'd say so.]

I've been lurking this thread for a while now, and since so many operatives have been killed I figure that you might want some fresh meat men meat.

Spoiler: Duncan MacGraeme (click to show/hide)

Name: Duncan MacGraeme
Description: Fairly tall, muscular, with tan skin and blonde hair. His eyes bulge out slightly, along with several veins on his forehead (especially when he gets angry). He smells like a distillery, which is a good thing, because it distracts from his horrible breath (which smells like the unholy hellspawn of garlic, onions and mutton).
Preferences: Male with a high bravery stat. Good strength and stamina would be nice as well, but bravery is much, much more important.
Equipment: No preference, just give him whatever you want.
Behavior: The MacGraeme family has fought in many famous battles, from Mons Graupius to Culloden and Dieppe. Eager to follow in his ancestor's footsteps, Duncan has joined X-COM to shoot some aliens and defend his planet. A braver and stupider soldier cannot be found anywhere else, especially if you squint (perhaps due to his bad breath). He will willingly carry out any order required of him, unless said order involves guarding a stack of alcohol, or dealing with his poor oral health.

Pic coming soon.

You keep hanging in back on support duty, a lot like Stone Cold.

I'm gonna have to fix this.

...huh. I hadn't thought of that.

[Jacob/Lee]

Yeah, I'll opt for more frontline duty this time around. Everyone else was hogging all the kills! until they all died...

[Sirus]

: I also volunteer for more front-line duty! I may technically be outside the chain of command, but being labeled a "rookie" is an offense to the uniform!

: No, no, no, no, no!  I specifically requested hanging back for support duty!

Due to his preternatural abilities he was soon outlawed from every professional wrestling, boxing, and martial art organisations.

Behavior:I'm talkin' about all the way to the ufo, OH YEAH. LET ME POINT TO THE CHRYSSALID, OH YEAH. YOU KNOW I'M THE CREAM, THE CREAM OF THE CROP. OH YEAH. I'm the cream, oh yeah, NO ONE DOES IT BETTER THAN VLADMIRE MAXTER VON KREATINE VON RASSLOR. From the top to the bottom because no one DOES IT BETTER THAN VLADMIRE MAXTER VON KREATINE VON RASSLOR, OH YEAH

[SeriousConcentrate]

Kilroy gains 40 gajillion internets for reminding me of that episode of Dexter's Laboratory.

[Derp Sandvich]

Indeed, you have made my day comrade Killroy.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Needs more nobiliary particles.

[Zako]

I'll join!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Tarvish McHannon
Description: Male, has tanned (read, burned) skin and a scar over his left eye. Has a distinct lack of smell that hardly anyone knows about.
Preferences: Reactions over 50, accuracy over 50 and a good amount of time units.
Equipment: Lazer rifle, 1 grenade (preferably alien grenade when you get them), 1 smoke grenade, 1 flare, 1 medkit, 1 stun baton and a proximity grenade. Give him the best armor you have and later upgrade him to HEAVY PLAZMA!
Behavior: He has a mean streak to aliens and likes waiting in ambush for them at times. He respects the value of a team and despite having a slight psychotic streak when killing aliens, he is otherwise mercifully sane and together. Most of the time.
