Preserved Topic: XCom Recruits Urgently Needed!

Xcom is calling out for recruits from all around the world to help against the alien threat!

Alright in this thread I am asking for volunteers that would like to have their names used in my XCom game. I will post regularly about the progress made, ranks gained, kill counts, and soldiers that are KIA along with any other items that you wish.

So who's with me.?

Before a scientist goes mad, there's probably a time when he's only partially mad. And this is the time when he's going to throw his best parties.

Edit: You should watch me You Myself its hot.

If you are wondering about my astoundingly low post count it is simply because I have just been lurking around these boards for over a year now. I think this may be the first time I have actually started a thread and I think this will be a fun idea.

Sure, I play X-Com: UFO Defense and rename my marines to the names of posters in this thread, then I post the outcome of said marines. Seriously, it's fun and fairly interesting.

X-Com is an old school (early-mid 90's) turn-based action/adventure game, hailed as one of the greatest games of all times.

Use me! I was a USMarine once upon a time - this sounds as though it will be as "fairly amusing" as that was.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope I kill lots of 'things', I hope. (That's the point, right?)

Emps is a noob for not knowing about Xcom

First Mission - Small ship shot down #1

Alevice was Third out of the Sky Ranger but first to see the alien in the field. With a well placed shot she was able to quickly dispose of it.

Emperor, Phyre Hazard, Alevice, and Morph were the investigating team into the small crashed ship. Phyre Hazard was first in and discovered an alien waiting for him. Missing all three of his shots, Phyre Hazard was forced to retreat and Alevice came in to take his place. She was able to hit the alien two times, killing it.

Second Mission - Aliens Terrorize Washington DC!

This mission Emperor finally came out of his shell and showed off his ability to tag aliens from a distance. Emperor picked off 3 floater aliens all of them long range.

Morph was coming around a corner when he was ambushed by a floater, luckily he was able to dodge all three shots and land one of his own.

Phyre Hazard picks up the assist when hitting the alien without killing it. Alevice was there luckily to clean it up

Sadly, Morph was KIA while dispatching an alien in the ships engine room. After killing the small sectoid another came out from behind the alien power source and shot him. He was quickly avenged by Phyre Hazard.

On the light side, this was a very good mission for Phyre Hazard who was able to get three kills. Keep up the good work marine.

How about a Taoist warrior like me
I could distract the floaters with some chanting while you're smuggling Perfect Thunder in for some "close up 'n' personal". Don't skimp on the armour now

I'm in... just one question though...in mission #3

Who died?

Feel free to use me... I like night missions!

oohh.. xcom. Had almost forgotten about that one.

If my memory serves me right, I was not very good at it since my toy of choice usually was automatic fire with high-explosive rounds

Sign me up! I might do better

Uncle Adam Wants YOU!!

Forgot about this thread, but glad to see my guy has finally got his a$$ in gear and killed something. Mom would be so proud.

One small grievance though... it's phyreHazard, not Phyre Hazard. See? One word, no space, and the 'H' is capped while the 'p' is small. It's really better that way and makes the name flow more... I suspect the mis-printing of it was what was holding my dude back in the beginning. But now that he seems to be picking it up, I'd hate to harsh his groove by a mid-game name change. Could be disasterous... dunno.

:/

God! ...and you lot tell me to get out more often.. so this is what you mean by the saying "get a life" ..sad..

Xpirex, people may wonder why something so trivial is still upsetting you, maybe because you don't have a real life to worry about???

Adam, sign me up =)



[This message has been edited by Dracusis (edited 08-13-2003).]

* patiently waits for adam to sign me up *

i feel like knocking off a few floaters. sign me up.

This is not directed at you Adam. (he knows who I'm talking to)

Nah of course I'm not upset.. I just find it amusing.. when I am silly and trivial I am told to get a life... when you are silly and trivial it's all good healthy fun. hmmm

whatever turns you on.. (and frankly my dear...)



[This message has been edited by Xpirex (edited 08-13-2003).]

I,m sorry I haven't updated for a while, I'll try to update soon but I have alot of college-related crap going on right now. Sorry.

On a side note. This thread just reminds me of this comic for some reason. http://www.schlockmercenary.com/

Hey sign me up. And I wouldn't mind a power suit and a plasma cannon, heh.

heh, you reminded me of the days when I used to play "Worms" from Team 17.

Used to name my worms w/ my family member's names and couple of my name variants/nicks.

Anyway, you can also add my nick to your list.

I used to be one of those 'bullied' kids at school...so when I played worms my team was all named after me, and the other team was named after all the people who'd picked on me that day...I was very good at worms...

If i just could find Worms: Armaeddon retail around the stores here, i'd surely name my team based on the TMNT
