Remember the golden rule of Metal Gear Solid conflict: As long as you skip at least a couple years into the future, and pay attention to current trends, you can make up what ever shit you want. (And when in doubt, nanomachines, but please no nanomachines. Or Wizards doing things. Or replicators...

Nighty-night, Mr. Bubbles.

Gonna take some time.

Right, so make sure you all have copies somewhere.

I think we're pretty set on Russia. Indeed. Can't have anyone getting confused.

Indeed. I'm okay with characters that have a few...quirks. But don't go overboard. And make sure you come up with a good excuse for why she wouldn't be immediately screened out. I'd recommend anti-psychotics and a really good resume.

Agreed. I'm hard at work now working on the aliens, the Commander, and the X-COM staff. But if anyone thinks of anything else, don't hesitate to say something.

Hm, good point. Such a large place means even if the aliens knew the base was in Russia, it would take them quite a while to know exactly where, if it was built in the middle of no where you wouldn't have to worry too much about wondering citizens, and depending on the region we locate in, there...

How about for a good mix of structure and freedom, regular missions will be detailed but open, so you have a sense of direction while still having the freedom to approach it how you wish, while missions like base assaults and larger UFOs will be a lot more structured and specific.

Did you guys want me to set up specific maps for missions, or leave them vague and generalized?

Denmark sounds cool. I've got a bit of Dutch in me myself. And setting a few years from now is no problem. Gotta have breathing room. Not that I'm adverse to a bit of alternative history. How does 2018 sound?

Me and some of the others from the other forum are working in another forum on a possible storytelling RP we want to do. You're welcome to join in if you have the time and you're interested.

With it mostly split down the middle, I'm thinking best we go with Europe, though that now leaves the question of where in Europe. And as far as timeline, I prefer modern day. Maybe set it a few years in the future like the game did when it came out (let's say around 2025), but anymore then...

By my count we have two for South America (Frostlich & myself), two for Europe (Prismacube & MarineAvenger), and one for Asia/Australia (Adrammalech). Dahlexpert & DarkGemini24601 still need to vote.

Would it help with the decision if I mentioned the Commander will be a born and raised child of the Eire?

I'm not entirely sure about the tatical soundness of the main base for a world wide corporation being in Australia.Love the Country, but as a main HQ?

I have the different maps from the game more or less memorized, from forests with logs and trees, to buildings and city streets, to half destroyed cities. I've also designed a few areas myself for other games, so I can be fairly detailed if you'd like. On the other hand, if you want to be more...

I usually go with North America, but I could go with South America too. Maybe have a base hidden under the Brazilian rainforest. It wouldn't be easy to find, there aren't large populations nearby, and it would discourage soldiers from wondering off the base out of fear of getting lost.

My character was a 500 year old Chinese Zombie/Vampire that had the ability to sense psychic energy, was twice as strong as your average human, needed to regularly absorb life force from others to sustain herself, and was so susceptible to alcohol, she nearly slept with another soldier after...

Back for a minute. Looks like we'll be going with larger squads of NPCs (disposable mooks, basically) on missions, so no need to worry about squad size. Each person gets either one or two characters, depending on what they can handle. I'll introduce new tech and aliens as we go along, so...
