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

[Dignified Pauper]

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!

Weapon List

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)

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...

[Goldenboko]

smurf 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.





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!
