i still need votes for where the first base will go and the first research project. i'm setting up my notes now for all your votes so i can tally them. i'm home now btw so i can respond quickly

[cganya]

ok so far i have 2 out of 8 votes for base location and 3 out of 8 votes for the research project

options include:

research: med kits, motion sensor, laser weapons
base location: US, Europe, Asia, somewhere else? keep in mind that japan and the US are the largest funders

once i get more votes i'll make my decision. should i put a time limit on votes?

[muwahahaha]

Base: US
Research: med kits

[EuchreJack]

Base: US, simply because you're more likely to get your base invaded by the aliens in the first two months, which is always fun.

would you like to take part? we still have 2 soldier spots available on the dropship, or you can take the role of a pilot/scientist/engineer ect.

Name: The Chosen
Preferred weapons: 2 Pistols, change to one laser pistol when available but keep the other 2 pistols against enemies weak to those type of weapons, Stun Rod, motion sensor (for the giggles), a med kit and 4 grenades that explode when something walks on them (forgot what they are called).
Story: Chosen by a secret society to join X-Com and gain alien tech. He was chosen because he was the best of the best. Try to get him some high stats, mostly in strength, accretion, bravery, and action points. He slowly will try to get more people to join his cause and steal tech from X-Com. He considers Alien Tech dirty and will only touch it to steal, never using it in battle.

I'm cool with the the stuff added with the mod, and I think a base in Canada, more specific Vancouver to honor the Olympics and because no one ever makes a base in Canada 

EDIT: I would not want him to be one of the starting 8, but more of a another soldier that got in X-Com through unknown ways and will replace the first guy to die.

Ugh, I hate working long hours. I can't believe I missed this.

Anyway, I'll see what I can muster up:

name: Hugh Mann
favorite equipment: You know, human tech
character desc/blurb: Hugh Mann. Now that's a trustworthy name. Perfectly suitable to serve X-Com.

your sure you want to use all that equipment? aside from the pointlessness of having two pistols at once (except i guess as a way for quickly reloading) you'll be dragging around more equipment than you can use. you'll have to carry your stun rod in your backpack which means it will almost never be used (in order to equip it would take almost an entire turn and to spend that long is close quarters with an alien is suicide) i suppose a motion scanner doesent take up much space but again you have to juggle equipment to use it.

this might work as a challenge to solo man a mission but we'll see about that.

saddly (thankfully? humans are very squishy even in tank like armor) there is no unarmed combat (which is a personal staple in most games i play). i could set you up as a stun rod weilding, ufo breaching soldier if you like

You guys sure are coming up with fancy backstories for people who will die horrible deaths in the first five missions.

OK I'm not going to wait anymore. by vote the base will go in the US. if you didn't get your way, you can start voting for the second base's location.

i'm going to start naming soldiers and starting up the game. i will take some screen shots as well

Stun rod, running shoes, and good body armor please.

[Cthulhu]

Running shoes?

What game have you been playing, Barbarossa?

Also, body armor has to be researched, and even personal armor isn't that great.
