X-Com UFO DEFENSE/ENEMY UNKNOWN Interactive: Warning, NSF56K

What the hell is X-Com?

X-Com is a sado-masochist game for the PC, that has sparked an entire cult of B.A.M.F.s to play one of the most challenging games and deep games, ever invented in the history of gaming.

You are the guiding hand of the organization X-Com, founded to prevent the alien invasion of earth. These aliens are hell bent on abducting individuals, swaying governments to stop funding you, and setting bases on Earth in order to enforce their take-over, all the while searching for your secret underground base of operations to kill everything you ever worked for.

Where YOU, EoFFer, come in:

This is an interactive thread. I run the game, everyone's posts here to enlist as a soldier of X-Com, and then, I screenshot the carnage that unfolds. There will be some classes that you will be vying for, and they will be VERY important to the over-all success of a mission. However, know, that if you die, or are left behind, there is no return for you. You're gone. Forever and EVER.

Do I have to download anything or do any work?

NO! That's the amazing thing. Me, the biggest failure of all, will do the work and make sure our base isn't located by aliens, make sure that we kill them all, and we have to order as few body bags as possible... really. The only thing I request is that you enlist, and if you'd like, have fun keeping a journal of events that you believe are going on with your character after I post stuff.

Now for some Promotional Campaigning!
________
Are you tired of sitting at home, waiting for the alien menace to come get you? Are you a former soldier, stricken with PTS and would like to make your lashings finally have some use? Or are you someone who has no experience in anything, but feels they would be a good meat shield for experienced snipers? If you said anything to any of these questions, then X-Com WANTS YOU! That's right! This is your time to enlist.

You'll have the opportunity to wield one of these exciting weapons!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/WeaponList.jpg

And you can fall into one of the following classes:


1) The Pistol Toting B.A.M.F. - More commonly referred to as a scout. In your aresenal, you'll carry a pistol, a stun gun (in order to immobilize alien menaces to bring back for testing an interrogation), and some boom-boom grenades. As a PTB, you'll be running around dodging bullets and acting as eyes for the heavy hitting riflement and snipers whose scopes just won't let them see far enough into the darkness.
2) The Longish Ranged Rifleman - Armed with a rifle, you're going to be the far-reaching sniper of the group. Pick off targets with your terrible starting accuracy for maximum damage. Stay covered, and ultimately, be one of the safest members of the team!
3) The Ultra-Heavy Cannoneer - Do you like big guns? Do you want to shoot things endlessly until you only hear the clicking of your gun that has run out of ammunition as you become surrounded by alien menaces, hoping those wimpy scouts and snipers will do their job and save your life? THEN BY ALL MEANS! SIGN UP! WE NEED MORE MEAT-HEADSPATRIOTS!
4) The Dreadedly Devestating Rocketeer - Don't like to bother with conventional weaponry? Just like to see lots of fire and smoke? Then join the Rocketeers in their quest to, not only make any menace unrecognizable, but towns too and cars too. After-all, what kind of battle doesn't look best with debris everywhere.
5) The No BS Grenadier - Don't care for guns? Do you like to know just how much ammunition you have at all times? Like big damage? Like to throw things? Then my friends, step right up. We've so many damn grenades, you won't even know how to say no. Not to mention, in desperate times, suicide bombers make great escape distractions. Think of how heroic you will be!
6) The Necessary Medic - Don't like fighting? Too bad, you're still getting a pistol, some grenades, and maybe a damn stun gun too. We here at X-Com pride ourselves in the amount of bodybags we have to make; however, recently, it's been draining our funds to buy things like armor... or ammo. Not to mention, it's bad for morale. You, the medic, will be responsible for making sure no one dies. If they do, it is YOUR head.
7) The Super Smooth Pilot - Don't like getting in the fray? Willing to leave your comrades behind to save the organization some dough to not have to buy another Skyranger? Well then, this is perfect for you. With the ability to choose either a rifle or pistol, you can pick enemies off from afar, from the safety of the Ranger's wheels, and if your squad is in trouble, then sound the alarms! You will be giving them so much time, and anyone who doesn't make it is lost forever! (Note: 1 Pilot per mission, three Pilots per base)

1 Vote Moscow, Russia - Rye is a Commy.
1 Vote Canada

Also, while we can make our base on any landmass, including antarctica and the like... These are the nations that actually matter, and will fund our operations...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/FundingCountries.jpg

[Goldenboko]

Fuck it, I'm game, I'll read what this actually is later xD

[Roto13]

I hate gaming on my PC.

Why Cyan? I don't know.

[Dignified Pauper]

I reiterate, you won't be gaming. you merely tell me what class to make your soldier, and I will be the one playing the game. Therefor, pick a class from above, and I will post the results of battles, base tactics, etc.

[Madame Adequate]

I shall be a Longish Ranged Rifleman.

[Roto13]

Oh, I didn't realize I didn't actually have to do anything.

The Necessary Medic then.

[Psychotic]

The Super Smooth Pilot because take me to bed or lose me forever.

[Dignified Pauper]

YOU ALL FORGOT TO REQUEST A LOCATION FOR THE BASE!

[nik0tine]

Rocketeer!!!

USA!
USA!
USA!

[Sir Lancealot]

I'll be The Pistol Toting B.A.M.F.. The base should be in Australia.

[Lawr]

Enlist me ( Actually, I was drafted apparently ) as a No BS Grenadier.



http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/Sagensyg/itach.jpg

I'll be extra careful with the grenades when I'm around my allies! Honest!

[Dignified Pauper]

You clearly didn't read. You didn't request a location for a base. Where the hell is Christmas when I need him. I'm terrible with in jokes.

[Roto13]

What are my options?

[Lawr]

Well, you see there was too much information for my teenaged brain to handle at one time. I shall update this postbit after I read past "let's get down to business."

[Dignified Pauper]

If you'd scroll up in the op to the big globe, you'd see all the nations in the world that fund us. READ IT!

Also... we don't have to stay in those nations, we can go anywhere on any landmass. Even Antarctica, or Madagascar!

[Lawr]

Too bad I read that before your post, but where we start off is the country that funds us correct? If so, then I choose USA, obviously. If that doesn't matter, Ant-freaking-arctica all the way.

[Dignified Pauper]

All nations fund us regardless. Where we start off just has to do with what the heck we're capable of seeing. We can only see what is happening on our side of the globe usually. until we research more equipment. Antarctica it is for you.

[rubah]

Nurse Lapiz reporting for duty.

medic plz? :D

[Goldenboko]

Oh, USA, and Long-ish range rifleman sounds like me.

[Dignified Pauper]

Three more recruits, and I'll start this show tonight!

Also, if you die... I haven't figured out what I'm going to do...

[Lawr]

NEEDS MOAR CANONEER

[Madame Adequate]

Antarctica would be great for lulz and terrible for actually achieving anything. Also the polar location means a lot of night missions and I don't want our entire EoFF team wiped out within a week.

I vote the base be located in the Appalachian Mountains, USA.

PS: Rye asked me to post because she's a lazy ho. She will be The Dreadedly Devestating Rocketeer, if that's possible! Also, she votes for Moscow, Russia as the base site.

[Roto13]

I'm gonna say Canada.

[Dignified Pauper]

Two moar recruits, and it's looking like we're going to be in the USA if no one else votes. We have two recruits who never voted, and further.........

We will be building more bases in the future, and your input will be put in on that. I will also ask for input on certain things during the morning, for you to deliberate on whilst I am working. Things like Research, or something of that nature.

[Meat Puppet]

Could I please be Bob Dylan?

[Dignified Pauper]

Meat Puppet, that is NOT a class. Nor did you select a location for the base. As much as I love you, you have got to take this seriously. THESE ARE ALIENS MAN! FREAKING ALIENS!

[Roto13]

Bob Dylan is pure class.

[Dignified Pauper]

Good Point. I will be starting this tomorrow by displaying where we have placed our base, as well as a roster of individuals, and further, any sort of activity we encounter. I will only be posting photos of battles, not all the skirmishes that we have between our Interceptors and Alien UFOs.

[Magixion]

I am so in. The Pistol Toting B.A.M.F! Let's do this chums! Oh, and USA!

[Psychotic]

I pick Nigeria. I heard there's a lot of Nigerian billionaires who are quite willing to share their wealth with total strangers. Could be useful.

[Dignified Pauper]

Commanders Log - XX/XX/XXXX


The base has finally undergone construction. It was finished in the early morning hours, deep in the heart of Appalachia, and went operational at 0800 this morning. We have myself, and thirteen brave and reckless maniacs with us, all handpicked, all drafted by the world's leaders. Who stuck me with these maniacs. I swear to all things menacing, if I see Psychotic walk out of Loony BoB's quarters late at night ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to lose my cool.

Anyway, We already started construction on an alien containment facility. Apparently, those who fund us felt that we didn't need it right off the bat. They also felt we could be crammed like flies, and therefor, we had to build another living quarters. We've already spent half our monthly income of six-million. Let's not even consider the amount it costs to rent those two Interceptors and our SkyRanger... Apparently we're too poor to buy. Also, let's not forget we also hired eight new mechanics and eight new scientists, and all of them, including we soldiers, get monthly pay.

Six Million is such a measly number by today's standard. I mean, America is donating a little over one million, and the rest of these smurfers are only funding us less than half that on average. Maybe they have no faith in this rag-tag bunch of hoo-ha's... whatever.

That little square is the official Eyeson US HQ. It serves as our current base of operations, and will be considered our head HQ until we come to a time where we can build another base.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/BaseLayout.jpg
This is our base layout. You can see the facilities with numbers on it have that many days to be built. Please note, the three hangars, as well as the little red/black facility (the elevator) are the places where the aliens can enter should we be attacked. I didn't design this, don't complain to me.

Here is the current roster of our troops stationed at the Eyeson US HQ.

And here is our meager funding. We're so screwed.

Will have updates later today. Feel free to start soldier's logs!

[Madame Adequate]

That base design is a death trap. I usually RP it away by claiming that it's just an old Cold War base we were given as a hand-me-down or something. :(

I see that I will be cowering at the rear of the Skyranger. Huzzah for mildly increased survival chances!

It's not like those damned riflemen will be able to hit anything without me telling them where the alien scum is. Who knows... maybe if I perform well enough, command will finally recognize my abilities and give me my own unit... Ah, anyways, back to scanning the network for any "interesting" documents.

Commanders Log: XX-XX-XXXX

My God, one of these rag-tag soldiers actually did something successful. Our lone pilot, Psychotic, hopped aboard one of our two Interceptors and destroyed a very small UFO hovering over the Great Lake area of the USA. Who knows what the hell the UFO was doing. We haven't figured out a way to decode their coded messages.

It seems like I mismanaged our supplies. What I ordered, was necessary and well, but uh... I didn't order the appropriate amounts for everyone. I hope no one notices that they will be using weapons they weren't trained to use...

Anyway, things have been quiet, other than that loud construction going on in the base...





More to come tonight! MAYBE EVEN OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER!

[Dignified Pauper]

Commander's Log - XX-XX-XXXX

We received indication that a very small UFO was stationed on the ground in a small farming community somewhere north of our base. We are preparing to load our troops up and fly out and investigate. We are hoping to possibly kill any and all alien menaces within the perimeter, as well as grab a live one for possible study. This will be difficult, this will be our first face-to-face encounter. I just hope he morale of this rag-tag bunch is high enough to where we won't be needing to bail someone out because they pissed themselves and dropped their gear.

My god, we're here. We can't see http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif in here. Let's roll out!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/MagixionSpots.jpg
First one out is Magixion and he spots an ALIEN MENACE guarding the doorway into their UFO.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/MagixionShoots1.jpg
Feeling brave, Magixion shoots at the alien with his rifle, landing a direct hit, sending the alien screaming in agony as well as falling to the ground. I think we just alerted them to our presence... if our skyranger wasn't enough.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/EndRound1Position.jpg
The rest of us pile out, leaving Sagensyg and Psychotic in the Ranger. That little brown thing by the ramp is a smoke bomb, which will conceal us in smoke and hide our movements, but it will also cause us to go unconscious if we stay in its range long enough.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/DPSpots2.jpg
Moving forward in the second phase, Old Manus and I spot this little sucker in the lettuce field behind their craft. Looks like they were taking some lettuce for themselves.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/DPShoots2.jpg
Being the brave commander I am, I shoot at the alien to make up for Manus' blunder in missing it. SUCCESS! I AM BETTER THAN MANUS!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/Roto13andNikotineScout.jpg
Meanwhile, Roto and Nik0tine are scouting the perimeter on this side of the farm. Rubah and Milf are scouting the north side, and Rye and Lancealot are scouting on the other side of the hedge that exists in front of the UFO.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/Round2Eng.jpg
The rest of us are heading back to assault the UFO, and hopefully, get inside. We're going to try ang position two people on each side of the UFO, and then maneuver Sagensyg in at the door in order to throw a grenade inside, killing everything within range. Either that, or he'll throw a proximity grenade in front, hopefully killing anything that might be inside. We have yet to go into the farm house and make sure nothing is watching us from the window.

More to be uploaded this evening.

Dear Diary,

What the fuck is wrong with our commander? He had twelve of us - twelve - pile out of the 'ranger at once. We stood around like lemons. Yeah because I'm sure aliens never invented explosives and I'm sure creatures from another world don't have more advanced explosives than we do and I'm sure it'd be fucking hilarious if twenty-four legs were removed in one fell swoop!

One alien pops out and starts firing wildly as Me and Shoden in the corner, only to be annihlated by Loony BoB's precise aiming abilities!

Another turn later, we're still waiting for the last alien. After scouting around, we know he must be in here. Golden Boko examined the farm house and nothing was inside.

Who the hell do these people think they are, killing my kills. I'm the commander here. Oh well, more bullets left for me. At least we finished in triumph. Another small farm saved, thanks to my brilliant strategy!

When we got back, we found that two new recruits were being trained. Dear God, these two are more pathetic than the first bunch. What the hell is the international community thinking when they go about their recruiting process. I need to start complaining to corporate, we can't be accepting just anyone! Then again, I suppose there isn't a large supply of idiots who would willingly battle an advanced civilization...

Judging by what was said in the first post, it appears it was the scouts who got the kills. You're a sniper, aren't you?

If they're not all filled up, that is. Otherwise make me some other generic class that is average enough to survive, but never do anything spectacular.

also, I dunno if you got into this...

Further, I should be able to get another battle underway. Also, updating roster.

Updating roster? Maybe now I will be able to kill Aliens. :love:

[Dignified Pauper]

I have finally put a good system in place, I think.

There is always, for now, 14 active troops. That's all a skyranger can hold. When someone dies, the Reserves move up. I'm sure you'll all get a chance soon to battle. Anyway, I'm starting now. I'll update as I go through the battle.

For the record, Loony BoB is the current HQ Badass. Respect him!

Commander's Log: XX-XX-XXXX

We received word of a small alien ship in the western deserts of the united states. We decided to check it out.

Golden Boko and Loony BoB seem to be great soldiers, and they really rally the rest of the troops. Nik0tine got a kill, and Psychotic, well, he's a good pilot to say the most. A lot of us were put on flank patrol. It wasn't too fun. Maybe I should have just rushed us all in like a buffoon. Regardless, no casualties. Nik0tine was shot, but it wasn't fatal.

Psy, wanting to step up to the plate and compete against Loony BoB fires from afar. His accuracy is terrible.

We all start piling out of the ranger and spreading out. Sagensyg throws a trusty smoke grenade to cover us, and that's the end of his usefulness. What can I say... the budget is tight.

Loony BoB moves and later this little sucker comes into view.

Gobo moves up with Loony BoB and finds this guy:

Loony BoB and Golden Boko start firing away. PEW PEW PEW!

Six shots later. Both are dead.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/LBgoeshunting.jpg
Loony BoB, being loony and his thirst for blood not quenched, ventures off alone into the north desert. He'll end up circling back around the UFO and meeting up with:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/ryeshomaglanccheckingwest.jpg

Rye, Lance, Mag, and Shoden behind the UFO. IT might have been useless for them, but if there was an alien sneaking up behind the group, they would have found it.

Meanwhile:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/RubeMeMILFScoutNE.jpg

Rube MILF and Myself were all scouting the east side of the map to make sure nothing was there.


Then, Old Manus, Nik0tine, Boko, and Roto decide to enter the ship.
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/OldManusentersfirst.jpg
Manus is first. PHEW! Nothing there.

They move into position

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/GBcoverROTONikcoverManus.jpg

GB is covering ROTO in the north and Nik covers Manus on the south.


GB advances in front of Roto into the fray!

GB makes short work of the alien, with stellar accuracy.

Roto moves into position. Manus and Nikotine have advanced to a new room on the other side of the ship.

All of a sudden:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/Alien5emergesfirefight.jpg

Another alien emerges from the center room and starts firing! He has terrible aim and hits the walls. Roto's reaction shots take care of him.

Finally, everyone surrounds the only entrance to the last room. Another Alien pops out and Nik0tine makes quick work of him, killing it above his buddy.

Then, Golden Boko enters first and practically bumps into:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/GBEntersroomSURPRISE.jpg

this sectoid scum. Well, apparently, his commander had fallen, because he completely froze. Giving Boko the opportunity to land a great shot!

Roto tries and can't bring it down. This could be bad.

Then Rube spots another. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

By the way, all the while this is going on, civilians are running around and getting shot to death by aliens. It's nice to have the aliens distracted by something.

Rube starts firing aaaaand...

Don't worry, he makes it out alive... unlike some of us.

X-Com Speaker


Brilliant work soldiers. You have annihilated the aliens terrorizing some forgettable city in South Africa. While they are dissatisfied with the death-toll, it could not be help. I, your anonymous Big Brother, have great plans for the world, and civilian casualties, while bothersome nuisances that drastically reduce our funding, should not be considered to be a top priority. Regardless, we have counted this mission as a success. Although, the individual you knew as commander, was killed, rest assured there are higher individuals in power than he. He was the sole liaison between us and you, and he was the only in your brigade who knew of who we were and our location. Because of his unexpected death, we have decided that we will lead this squad from our location here and communicate to you through your base's PA system. Our reports are stating that alien activity is due to pick-up this February. Therefor, we will be actively recruiting more soldiers to send to your base, and once we get more, we will be starting on the construction on a brand new base. Its location has yet to be determined. We expect some of you to be transferred to this base upon its construction. We expect to break ground by April at the latest.

Until we give you your next mission, please operate the HQ under normal operations. We will be in contact.

Please remember to stay out of the construction sites. Going inside could result in your untimely demise, or even... death. Loss of limbs is a guarantee. Anyone who does not break these guidelines will be rewarded at the conclusion of the next mission. Your prize, Cakecookies.

Do we get to vote on the second location, too?

If so, I approve of any one of Djibouti, Scotland or Madagascar.

[Dignified Pauper]

We will have voting for the second base location. I will start tallying later when we actually start a new HQ. First, we need moar recruits. The best recruiting tool is YOU! GO! GET MORE EOFFERS TO DIEFIGHT!

Also, updating stats now.

kills/stuns/missions/(medic only heals)

are the number configures. I'm going to add missions nows too.

Also added friendly fires. As things get more difficult, people will get more beserk or panic more and fire at will.

[Loony BoB]

I think the best thing to do would be to re-recruit the 'deceased' EoFFers as people who just happen to have the same name... use Goldenboko2 or something if we need to make them different from each other. This should at least be done for those who have shown their continued interest in the thread, anyways - otherwise you're going to run out of players very soon. xD

But if you mean more even beyond that... just get a few more people against their will ;) Worked with me, didn't it!?

God, this is getting even more complicated. And because of a lack of funds, I can't even give people the type of guns they want. Oh well, it simply adds to the X-Com Charm.

It's not complicated. Rye2 should do the trick, and it means it's pretty obvious how many times the person has died, too.

DON'T YOU DARE UNDERMINE MY AUTHORITY YOU BIG YELLOW BIRD!

But no, I will just issue them into the cloning vat, and they will then be dropped to the bottom of reserves. The complicated part was the stats. I simply hate updating stats, but I suppose that is what I get for starting this project. BOO HISS!

[Loony BoB]

How dare you say that statistics are part of any problem. *slap*

[Flying Mullet]

I like the idea of incrementing the number at the end of their name as they are cloned and used again. That way we can see who dies the most times. :)

Yeah, how bad can it be.

Also,I'm going to start a cloning list. I refuse to add numbers to the ends of names, instead, I added a "deaths" statistic in the roster. So, you can see for yourselves how many times you die and stuff.

[demondude]

:excited:

[Dignified Pauper]

Also, death comes with a 1 month (game time) cloning penalty. After 1 month of your death, you will be added back to the bottom of the reserves!

I will start putting dates of deaths on the next batch of deaths. These dates will not be permanent, so if you want to record when you die, then ... uh, do it yourself. After you are cloned, you will have the date removed. For the current people being cloned, they will become officially added to reserves on February 20th, game time.

Also, cloning is optional, if you want to be left dead, forever, permanently, forgotten to the annals of history, please indicate so when you enlist!

[demondude]

When will the next mission start? I'm raring for some action.

[Madame Adequate]

You had a terror mission by Jan 20th? O_o harsh.

[Loony BoB]

I had a terror mission after two interception type things as well.

A month seems a bit over the top, especially if the people who die are the people who are generating the most activity in this thread. I'd say a week at most would be good enough. Or a month in 'game-time', maybe.

[Goldenboko]

It is a month in game-time Bawb =D

[demondude]

YEAH BOB, HE SAID SO! GET IT RIGHT BOB!

[Goldenboko]

YEAH JAKE SHUT THE FUCK UP! GET IT RIGHT DEMON DUDE >:0

xD

[Madame Adequate]

I had a terror mission after two interception type things as well.

Yeah, I usually end up with it as my third to fifth mission, but I tend not to see one before about the 28th. Doesn't make too much difference I guess. Except compared to those beautiful rarities where you don't see one until February.

[Dignified Pauper]

BoB, learn to read my poast. 1 Month game time was CLEARLY and EXPLICITLY stated. I will not cater to your soldier ignorance. That said,<3.

Also, yeah, Terror missions blow when Cryssalid's enter the picture and start doing what they do. I can't wait to see who, of our brilliant brigade falls victim.

That said, clones will be considered the remains of everyone collected and piled into a goup form and reformed from the blob mass that was once their former bodies. Note: I may, or may not, implement a system that if a mission is abandoned, then those soldiers are lost forever. IF that is the case, I will attempt to see who is dead vs. who is unconscious. Unconscious members will find their way back to base after three months (GAME TIME BAWB), and dead members left behind, well.. we could always say some of the unconscious members carried back one or two pieces of a corpse. That way, the process becomes selective on the members. Also, I do believe we will be building a base sometime in the next two game-time months and when that time comes, I will ask for input.

Also, BoB, smoke bombs are your best friend. So are Rocket Launchers.

[demondude]

YEAH JAKE SHUT THE smurf UP! GET IT RIGHT DEMON DUDE >:0

xD

When you get cloned, and put into a new mission, I'm gonna go 'friendly fire' on YO ASS. >=)

[Dignified Pauper]

NEW MISSION ALERT!

Our great agent, and new pilot, Erikramza who took out an interceptor against a small UFO. Only damaging it, the UFO retreated, and then Psy got into the other Interceptor and caught up with the UFO and shot it down over the western US.

Then, when Psy got back, we waited for morning before investigating:


Magixion spotted an alien right out in front of us:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/002Magixshootskills1.jpg
Magixion fires and then kills it, easily. Then, he walks off the ramp.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/003Magixkilled.jpg
FUCK! Magixion got shot by someone.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/004Nikspots2.jpg
Nik0tine, brave and daring, steps off and spots Magixion's killer:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/005nikshootsmisses.jpg
Nik tries, by misses. BOOO HISS!

Old Manus follows suit and...
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/006OMmisses2.jpg
misses. God, you all suck.

At the start of turn two, this is our :bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/007Positions.jpg

Nik shoots the alien again:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/009Nikkill.jpg
and misses it. Old Manus later killed it, but i didn't get a shot of that.

Meanwhile, an alien had come out of the UFO:

Flying Mullet, loaded up with a rocket launcher he wasn't trained to use:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/011FMsezBOOM.jpg
GOES BOOM against the UFO, killing the alien in the blast radius.

Then Sagensyg starts heading around the UFO to scout and:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/012dies.jpg
gets shot by this bastard:

Shoden, armed with his own personal missile launcher AIMS!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/014Shodenaims.jpg
AAAAAAND!!!!


http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/015BIGMISS.jpg
Misses... Way to fail.


Demon Dude walks onto the Sky Ranger's ramp, and aims into the wheat field with his pistol!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/016DDaims.jpg
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/017ddkills.jpg
DIRECT HIT! Dead.


http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/018omscout.jpg
Old Manus decides to grab an apple from the nearby tree.


Then Lance enters the UFO:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/019Lanceenters.jpg
Oh great... FIRE!

Lance hits the alien, but it doesn't die.

Erikramza comes in to offer cover fire:

VICTORY!

It's kind of hard to write this, since I'm only a thumb and four teeth.

[Dignified Pauper]

Upgraded stats. Also, I will add dates for Death and cloning process completion after.


As of now, us dead/cloning are all vats of goo.

[Old Manus]

Thanks to Erikramza I survived entering an UFO.

[Loony BoB]

Upgraded stats.
What about number of missions attended?

Yay for this thread, btw. Keep it updated, I'm enjoying it.

GOD DAMNIT BAWB! I forgot about that.

Also... recognized member status? Maybe? Perhaps? :monster:


:banme nt rly

[Loony BoB]

You still haven't updated it! It's been a whole FIVE MINUTES man!

And *bop* Don't count on it so soon after your ban appeal was accepted. xD But maybe if you keep it updated regularly enough then I'll back such an idea. :aimsun:

[demondude]

I killed something. =0 I AM A HERO!

I was at work and couldn't, updating now.

[Dignified Pauper]

I know how much YOU love your stats......

[demondude]

When will we progress in our suicidal adventures? =0

[Peach of Mist]

Sign me up as The Dreadedly Devestating Rocketeer. X-Commmmmmm! If and when we get another base, can we plant it in Africa?

[Loony BoB]

Having played this for the past few days, it definitely needs to be in Europe for financial reasons.

[Dignified Pauper]

Well, we will see. For now,I won't update until Thursday.

[Goldenboko]

Paris, France. Because we all know the French can't win a war without the United States.

[Psychotic]

Like the Vietnam War, for example. :rolleyes2

[Goldenboko]

Like the Vietnam War, for example. :rolleyes2

Eh, you can't win'um all!

[demondude]

Can't we plant a base in Madagascar or something. xD Then we can just hide, away from any threat of illness.

[Goldenboko]

Can't we plant a base in Madagascar or something. xD Then we can just hide, away from any threat of illness.

DESTROY!

[demondude]

Too late, you died. :jess:

Gah

[Dignified Pauper]

Have you been playing Pandemic II?

[Flying Mullet]

Who hasn't been?

[demondude]

Can't we plant a base in Madagascar or something. xD Then we can just hide, away from any threat of illness.

Have you been playing Pandemic II?

Yes. :bigsmile: I hate it because it is impossible.

[Madame Adequate]

"Mr. President, Mr. President! We just got the latest reports!"

"Well spit it out man, what's the situation?"

"Sir, someone in China... they sneezed, sir!"

"CLOSE SMURFING EVERYTHING! Madascar shall not be tainted by this taint!"

[Madame Adequate]

Win. <3

As to the base I vote for Central Europe, the Alps for instance. I like to imagine that it offers us both better defenses and more mysteriousness.

[Flying Mullet]

I like to imagine that it offers us both better defenses and more mysteriousness.
Romania! (Transylvania!)

[Psychotic]

When we were at BoB's place, me and Levian beat Pandemic II. Even Madagascar fell. It will go down in history as an incredible display of skill and bravery.

[Flying Mullet]

And blind luck.

[Loony BoB]

And blind luck.
Nah, I did it last night and figured out a strategy for it.

Also, it's Thursday! I'm so excited I could pee!

[Lawr]

Don't soil yourself so soon BoBBles!

[demondude]

I wonder if I have died yet.

[Flying Mullet]

Also, it's Thursday! I'm so excited I could pee!
Why couldn't you pee before Thursday? :confused:

[Dignified Pauper]

so Psy shot down a small UFO. We didn't get there before the sun went down, so this mission was in the dark!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/001start-1.jpg
Here we are, piled in. I haven't hired new recruits yet, they are still being trained.

Smoke bomb Thrown, we start to deploy!

Erikramza spots an alien menace!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/005erikkills.jpg
And killed it with his lazer rifle. Oh, did I forget to tell you we have LAZERS NOW! PEW PEW PEW!

Loony BoB and Manus start going around the ship.
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/006alienmissesmanusandbob.jpg
OH CRAP! Good thing the alien sucks with accuracy. He missed BoB twice.

Meanwhile...
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/007rotoexploresbarn.jpg
Roto and Mullet inspect a barn. That's Roto on the second floor. Mullet is keeping watch by the door.

Elsewhere, Nik0tine is inspecting another barn WAAAAY out in B.F.E. in the darkness, alone. Brave, good thing there were no aliens!

Anyway, back to the fray of Manus and BoB.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/008manussucks.jpg

Manus sucks.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/009manusreallysucks.jpg

Really bad.

BoB decides the hell with this alien, primes and throws a grenade at its face.
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/010Bobthrowsnadeaftermanussucks.jpg

Elsewhere, in front of the ship, Erikramza has created a small brigade of troops ready to storm the ship!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/011erikpreparesentry.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/012bylayingsmoke.jpg
Smoke screens are very important!

Then, Manus, Erik, Demondude, and Shoden all enter!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/013manuserikshodenandlanceenter.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/014ddkills.jpg
Demondude kills this sucker!


Another alien goes wandering around! Lazers and plasma go flying, PEW PEW PEW!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/015shodendies.jpg
Shoden is dead.


We can't let this one go unpunished!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/016erikspotslast.jpg
Erik aims!


VICTORY!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/018victory.jpg

Then Psy flies us home.
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/dignified_pauper/019psyfliesusback.jpg

[Psychotic]

I think the aliens have lost that loving feeling.

[Lawr]

Brutal.

[Loony BoB]

Another mission, another kill. Happy with my ratio, hoping to keep it up...

[Flying Mullet]

Dammit, why did DP have to get banned again? :cry:

EDIT: Never mind, looks like his banned title is due to the db restore and he'll be unpinked after the server cycles or he posts.

[Old Manus]

[demondude]

I have killed a total of two aliens altogether, and I am still just a rookie. :whimper:

[Flying Mullet]

I've only killed one alien. I guess that's what you get when you play guard duty. Then again, I came home in one piece so I can't complain.

[Dignified Pauper]

Mullet, you almost scared the poop out of me, because i am reading this from work.

[Clouded Sky]

If you are still recruiting, it looks like you guys might need another Necessary Medic. Reporting.

[Dignified Pauper]

We are never not recruiting. Welcome to the ranks. We're always accepting more people to stuff into body bags to fight the alien menace!

[Clouded Sky]

I`m looking into playing this now. I played Rebelstar Tactics Advance which has connections to this game - is it pretty similar?

I understand. *nod*

[Flying Mullet]

I say we put it on the fridge in the mess hall kitchen.

[Magixion]

Does this mean I am closer to coming back as a clone? xD

[Flying Mullet]

It means Marick is lazy and rather than give us a game update he played with that form. :p

[Dignified Pauper]

Probably another update tomorrow or wednesday.

Further, I work 7 days a week with 2 jobs. I'm a busy queer!

[Flying Mullet]

Can a queer be straight-edge? :confused:

[demondude]

It appears as if we were sent hurtling towards the sun?

[Dignified Pauper]

No, your commander has just been swamped with life. I haven't forgot about this thread, it's just been put on indefinite hold. And uh... by that I mean, I might get to it... only if promised hookers and blow though. And by hookers, I mean BoB and Psy. And by Blow, I mean pixie stix.

[Old Manus]

In b4 marick

[Loony BoB]

:(

[Flying Mullet]

I have a pixie stix hookup. Just let me know how many you need and if you want the little ones or the gargantuan ones.
