I'm back from the dead! Sorry, I kind of got addicted to The Sims 2 and such for a bit, forgot (temporarily!) about the Field Manual. It hasn't been updated since, sadly. I do need contributions, though.

Geez, I've been away a while. What's been happening? (University, right. Kinda put this on the side for a while, then suddenly remembered it. Heh. Still haven't finished that field manual.)

Oh, hey. Sorry about being non-here so much. I've kinda... um... I'll just say "Baldur's Gate 2", "Half-Life 2" and "Neverwinter Nights" as an explanation.

Awright boyos! Man, it's been a while. I'm soliciting contributions to the Field Manual, because despite my best efforts and all that most of my wrtiting ability is taken up in essays and reports. And so my ability to convincingly mimic military parlance has undergone a severe decline in performance. However, my ability to edit stuff to that standard has not undergone a similar decline - thus, if anyone wants to submit bits of chapter headings or the like that need contributing, I'd greatly appreciate that. I'll probably also be copying the Project to one main site and soliciting material from other X-COM forums and sites, so the Project might sorta be able to stand on its own! Yay! LET'S MOVE, TROOPERS! Also, please note the change in my email address if you have it; I've gone from Hotmail to GMail. Yay.

Whoa, it's been a while. How's it been while I've been away? University and such has played havok with my ability to participate in online stuff until I could get organized, so I haven't been around all that much... Sorry. Can anyone give me a heads-up via PM about the current situation?

Aargh! Stuff just keeps popping up, I keep not having time to write... I'll attempt something after work today, once I've had time to mull over recent developments.

Wasn't Genega in the hangar?

Just to confirm: What's up with Genega? I need to know so I can write my bit with Dherzhin - no way Theo'd miss a body lying on the floor of the hangar. Or for that matter, the brass. Double-security lockdown, you betcha. Second: Would it be likely for Johann to run into Terrick - or vice-versa - while he's moving his stuff into the "trooper" barracks? And who'd he wind up rooming with? Anyone? [Edit: Ah, shit, Vet's away? NOW what am I supposed to do with Dherzhin? Also: not on vacation, just away perfectionning my French on the government's dime. ]

Right. Just waiting on Alitorious' post, then.

Okay, Squad 1 it is then. I believe that's what I'd decided on last month anyway.

Hum. Would now be a bad time to introduce Johann as a member of the squad? Also, I haven't made a Dherzhin post in a while. Heck, I haven't made any posts in a while. Probably ought to post something - most likely after supper today, at earliest.

I'm going to work on it after finals. If anyone wants to work on a specific chapter or something, that'd be good; I'm better at editing than at composition, at least for the first month or so after exams. I ought to remember to check this thread more...

*attempts to remember the names of his secondary characters* Um, yeah. Johann will be transferring to combat personnel, mortality moderate, to be controlled by me. Can someone figure out the squad assignment he'd get?

Ooh, I'd completely forgotten about the Field Manual... it's about time I worked on it more. After finals, I mean. Yeeaaah.

I'm down / have been down for a while from having my wisdom teeth pulled and the associated medications. Whoa, everything's all different-looking... Anyway, yeah. Just so you know. And knowing is half the battle.
