Welcome, and to the one or two people who have NEVER played x-com before, i have only this to say:

You. Have. Been. Missing. Out. On. One. Of. THE. Best. Games. EVER. Made!

Released on the 31st of December 1993 x-com's squad-based turn-based third person Sci-Fi strategy game it took the world by storm! Not really...

X-com is widely regarded as being one of the best games ever made, IGN for one. Its excellent, with tense and simple game play, that does a good job at presenting a desperate battle against an overpowering alien force.

And now: YOU get to LIVE IT!

There was another thread but WorkerDrone closed it after I demanded he continue 

I harbor no animosity workerdrone, if you want to join then do so

rather than harp on about lazy people and whatnot I chose to START AGAIN! With a new crew of people who are going to die in horrible, HORRIBLE ways!

Now, I thought that rather than ask for what you want to be equipped with and such (which leads to everyone being armed with autocannons[not good]) I’m introducing a little EXTRA element.

Namely: you earn better weapons by buying them

Like in the manga 'Gantz' you are mine until death should you choose to enter, and the only way you get to survive is luck, and eventually, better equipment. Better equipment earned by purchasing it with the points from completed missions and kills.

Unlike Gantz there probably isn’t going to be a creepy black ball with a twisted sense of humor capable of bringing people back to life and or teleporting them halfway around the world

IF you are interested just let me know, I’ll add you to the roster and shuffle you in when there is room! If you want to role-play or whatever let me know and I will try to accommodate you! If you want to keep a character diary per say DON'T LET ME STOP YOU. I will take as much user input as i can on this so we can have a fun experience.

And I will try my most earnestly to update which may be sporadic due to uni but I can promise at least one update a week. I will also NEVER ABANDON YOU, my faithful soldier-things.

for now, if you wish to join simply enter:

your NAME:
your AGE
your GENDER and RACE(for selecting the right character model):
your ROLE PLAYING INFO: (if you have any)

i will proceed based on interest levels

[Aqizzar]

Manga?  In my X-COM?  RAEG

Not that it wasn't already kinda Japanimationy.  Whatever.

NAME: Aqizzar
AGE: Legal for recruitment
GENDER AND RACE: Confident enough to take whatever's available.

[Duke 2.0]

your NAME: Duke
your AGE: Already expecting death anyway
your GENDER and RACE: Black Male
your ROLE PLAYING INFO: After a long life of badassery in a military, Duke doesn't want to die in a whimper. Duke wants to die the way he lived; fighting in a suicide squad.

 And no, I have not played X-COM. Isn't it available on Steam? Perhaps when my debit card comes in I might get it.

[Aqizzar]

Well, the original X-COM is on Steam, yes.  You can probably get it elsewhere quite easily.  Elsewhere is also the only place to get Terror From The Deep and Apocalypse.  The latter is an adventure in chickendancing and arson, the former will rape your soul...

[Duke 2.0]

 I think I will stick with the original, then decide if it is a good idea to check THE alternates, as one would have to be a PIRATE to try some of those other methods and keep the cops at BAY.

 Onwards to Steam!

[WorkerDrone]

You are ACTUALLY for once WRONG Aqizzar!

TELL HIM WHAT HE WON (LOST).

All three games (The ones that matter. They also have Defender (crap) and Interceptor (Dunno about that one. Defender is still crap.) are on Steam.

Enemy Unknown, Terror from the Deep, and indeed, Apocalypse.

Now weep for me.

[Mephansteras]

Meph
Age: Whatever
Race: Whatever
A sniper by preference (high reaction and fire accuracy if possible) who moves behind the other X-com members to give cover fire and take out aliens with well placed shots.

[CJ1145]

Name: Quibble
Age: 7 (In squirrel years)
Race: Whiter than a polar bear in a snowstorm.
Well known among his fellow X-COMs for his apparent insanity. He only speaks using the word "Quibble", and is very weak, unabl eto carry the larger weapons. However, he is incredibly intelligent, and keeps his collection of laser and plasma weapons in pristine condition. Has been working on a secret project for some time, and says that he will not live to its fruition. At least, we think so. He actually said "Quibble", but that seemed to fit the current situation.

[Luckk]

Luckk Alto
Age: 23
Race: White Male
A man of nervous disposition that joined X-com from the promise of discovering new life forms and seeing the world.

[Christes]

You are ACTUALLY for once WRONG Aqizzar!

Now weep for me.

I assume you mean enforcer rather than defender?   (Not that it's not crap, mind you)

[Nirur Torir]

Nirur Torir
Age: Middle-aged, probably ??
Gender: Male. Race: Any
A random homeless person who was taken in off the street by a recruiter and given the most basic military training. (Hey, it fits the skills of an X-Com agent perfectly.) Likely cause of death: Being a scout.

(I sorta liked Interceptor. Horribly easy to make money though, since you could order things to be made by the companies you defended, then sell them back to those companies for a profit, without having to buy engineers or engineer stations.)
