...

I just hope you didn't forget to add Suspenders Magee to list.

Of course I didn't!
_{Shhh, don't tell him.}

Redshirt lived! What heresy is this?

[MarcAFK]

Well that was a bloodbath, as expected really, nobody stands a chance till you get some armour.

How?

[MaximumZero]

Right click the door.

[LordSlowpoke]

looking at the graveyard it stands to reason that we need some sort of protection against plasma MORE MEATSHIELDS, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, when I checked it, I was expecting to see something like "killed by sectoid", and then I laughed when all it was was "plasma plasma plasma plasma plasma plasma plasma plasma _{plasma plasma plasma plasma plasma} "

If you right click and cancel their orders as the door is opening they won't run in. I personally forget this constantly and charge in screaming that humanity wants to taste alien blood.

No, you need to position them at the door, right-click to face the door, then right-click again to open the door without going in.

You learn something new everyday.

I also did not know that! I should maybe apologize to some of my troops. Knowing that it's physically possible to open a door without moving through it sounds like a fairly Commandery thing.

Welp, new character time now.
A scientist with two files, one bigger than the other walks up to the marshall. He gives him one of the files. "We've got a new recruit."
Name: John DeFoe
Preferences (weapons, stats, etc): Meele weapons, heavy weaponz
Bio: Appeared in the HQ suddenly a few weeks ago. It happened shortly after one of the scientist brought a wooden idol from a burned down english mansion, to study why it survived the flames that consumed the mansion. He was captured and his past was researched.
Image:
He hands the marshall the other file. "Here's what we've found out about him."

Spoiler: Subject #31 - John DeFoe (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

Most of what we know about John was given to us by an anominous person somehow related to him.
From the research we've done, it appears that John died at least two hundred years ago. His death is traced to the deaths of Roderick DeFoe, a retired explorer and his son, Matthew DeFoe. 
From what the anominous person told us, he was killed on the aneversarry of the death of Roderick's wife, Belinda DeFoe. He apparently then rose up from the grave as some sort of vengeful wraith, killing Roderick and Matthew.
He haunted the manor since then, his soul somehow connected with the wooden idol found in the ruins.

Keep in mind that this "right-click to open door" thing apparently only works in OpenXcom. ClassicCOM doesn't have this useful feature...at least not that I know of

Oh, well, that'd explain it. I'm competent after all!

Though this is still useful information should I decide to play OpenXcom in the future, which is likely.

you didn't forget jack ripper right?

It also was a feature in Terror from the Deep, but... TftD. Need I say more?
