That sounds like a good compromise that covers most of what we've covered. As long as everyone gets an opportunity to Rp with each other, I'm happy. I've got a bit to do in terms of working on the aliens, so I'm gonna be dropping out of the discussion for a hour or two. In addition to finalizing...

I would think we would follow the rule of a tv show or movie when it deals with stories like this: we're following these characters because they probably aren't going to die. That's what Star Trek "Red Shirts" are for. And if for any reason you want to Tasha Yar your character and kill them off...

There is a new site domain that this site will direct to going up. It's still in the works, you'll have to ask Sarge when it is ready. As for the squads, in the interest of combining everyone's ideas and finding a middle ground, what if X-COM missions contain a non-discript number of soldiers...

Trust me when I say, while all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, I know more then anyone that school comes first, so if me being GM lets other people join in without taking away from more important things, then I'm game. I just need a little time to make sure I'm prepared and I have...

Alright, took me all day, but finally finished the second half of that little story and posted on the other page. Now I can devote myself to this a little more. As the GM, you'd be responsible for the more important NPCs, but it isn't like this is an official RPG with screens and maps and D20s...

Last Day on the Job: Part Two Having dashed to the side and behind her, Jackie wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, lifting her in the air and slapping her gun away with his free hand. "I'm sure if you were a soldier, you would have known not to take your eye off an opponent like...

Last Day on the Job: Part One "Welcome to EXALT. I see a lot of potential in front of me, but you'll need more then just potential. You'll need strength. Determination. Cunning. But most of all, your best chance at survival is your loyalty to the EXALT cause." Jackie's eyes darted around the...

I'm not sure about that. I always got the impression that they saw the potential for the aliens to advance humanity with things like meld, and technically that's what the aliens wanted to do, with humans becoming a new addition to their army. EXALT probably figured if they sided with them...

If you think you're up for it and have the time, I'm cool with you GMing.

Too late for me to do anything right now (Time for all good angels to go to sleep, Mr. Bubbles). Just putting a post here so I'll get a notification if someone else posts here.

Well, if that is the kind of Role Playing people are thinking of, I'm technically a game master. I have some experience with D&D, Rifts, Call of Cthulhu, and Mafia, but most of my GMing experience is in All Flesh Must Be Eaten (AFMBE). Of course, that all depends on whether we are talking...

This all sounds interesting, but I'm a bit confused about the details on this RP. So we tell the stories of individual teams of four going on missions and their interactions with the other groups of four controlled by the other RPers? Who acts as the Commander, Bradford, Shen, and Vahlen? Would...

Well, like you said, you had the same call sign. Sounds like an honest mistake, brought on by your excitement about possibly getting in. In the words of Lenny Leonard: Eh, everybody makes mistakes. That's why they put erasers on pencils.

Yeah, it never made any sense to me. From an in-universe perspective, it seems like a waste of good potential for the sake of sexism, while from a game-mechanics perspective it just feels lazy, since the Exalt soldiers all look this same except for equipment. That's why I loved PrismaCube's idea...

:D

Don't sell yourself short. I just have a bit of time on my hands, years over books, shows, and movies to inspire me, and an obsessive need to edit my work. There are plenty of people here half my age that are just as good, if not better.

First Day on the Job: Part Two "Come on, kid, don't be an idiot!" Verne kicked away the pistol and chuckled loudly. "The base is a major sausage-fest. And all the chicks are holed up in their own quarters. A guys gotta get his rocks off. Keep it pent up too long, and you'll end up goin' crazy."...

First Day on the Job: Part One "And this, my boy, is the hologlobe," The Commander said, waving his hand towards the massive hologram taking up the center of the room. "With this, we can see the comings and goings of our extraterrestrial guests in real time, in addition to other organizations...
