((Important note: The first couple of updates ran on the original DOS version of X-COM: UFO Defense. I have since switched to OpenXcom and started over.))

<sub>"So it's confirmed then?"

"Correct, Marshall. Unexplained aircraft, missing persons, mysterious deaths...all have been reaching epidemic levels worldwide in the past year. Conventional authorities are helpless and unable to account for all these events. If things continue at this pace, it is only a matter a time before general panic shuts down every nation on Earth. We need a different solution."

"...and this is your solution? Build a secret base, gather military rejects from around the world, and throw them at the problem until something sticks?"

"You have your orders, Marshall. Good luck." *click*

"Dammit."</sub>

*ahem*
"Welcome, new recruits! I am the Marshall here. Now that you have signed the initial non-disclosure agreements, allow me to explain what you have signed on for! It is the belief of the nations of the world that Earth is under direct threat from unknown extraterrestrial forces. We believe that these forces are hostile, though we do not yet know their goals or intentions.

Thus, the free nations of the world have chosen, in secret, to create the X-COM project - the project that you are now tentatively a part of! Our mission is to figure out what these aliens have planned for our small planet and, if necessary, to combat them in the air and on the ground. Hopefully it won't come to that, but as everyone here is the *cough* best and brightest humanity has to offer,  we'll certainly give them a good showing in a fight."


"Now, we are currently taking suggestions on where to construct X-COM's initial base, and looking for a name for said base. There will be space included in your applications for this information. Welcome aboard, ladies and gentlemen!"

YES, its another X-COM LP! Cuz why not? Sign up and watch as you most likely die horribly on your first mission. I'm not all that great at this game, so there's sure to be a high body count. Which is, from what I can tell, the proper way to play.

Got any base names that I wouldn't need an international keyboard to type? I'm not sure the game would even accept those characters

Okay, okay.

How about Dakka Dakka Dakka?

[mastahcheese]

Good lord, this makes me what to do a LP of the new X-COM.

[Sirus]

I'll be doing the first update once we have enough soldiers to fill out at least the initial roster. Keep in mind that the "initial roster" is 8 soldiers, and I'll be recruiting more almost immediately. If we're lucky we'll only have about 25% casualties on the first mission.

I'm posting a link to this in my Derail Thread, so you should get a nice wave of redshirt replacements in due time.

[mastahcheese]
