DragonHawk Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Not yet, hahaha. Hey guys, we'll look at "officially" updating the roster with "new" info for the new year. Here's the stuff I'm interested in: 1. Who is active? Who is so far AWOL that their teammates can't even remember them? In this case, I'm looking for responses from Stone, Kitat, Asmodai, and McBenneth. If these four could please message me, let me know whether you're still in or out. If I don't get a message by the 1st, I will assume out. For Kitat and Asmodai (or anyone I suppose) I wouldn't mind if you want to stick with board sim only. *EDIT* We're looking for Corporal Paul too. 2. Bio updates? A lot of stuff has happened since XCAS started, so the folks who have been around (myself, Ghost, Saber, Yorke, Jacko, and Necro) may want to run a bio update. Maybe you want to mention new skills, or new attitudes, now that you've been "away from home" for a while. 3. Position change - if you feel that your character may be qualified for a new position, let me know. I'll expect a lot of legwork on your part in order to make it happen, as there has to be a longish term transition period. This is mostly to do with secondary, as I don't think anyone is qualified for a primary position change. 4. Poll - Drake is still alive, want to keep him on the roster? Thanks guys, let me know. Derrick Disclamer: Point 4) is not required and is for humorous purposes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonie Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Only answering forr point 4. Yes, he should be listed under a section in the roster called "Pets" but if there's any other use for him in our team then let us know DH. If not, well he really isn't of any use and should therefore not be included in the roster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 1: Checking with Fox if she's still willing to return to the sim (if I get her e-mail address, Mouse? )2: Already working on it, you know that.3: I don't think that'd go for me 4: Nope, SFC isn't on the roster either is he?

Ion Mage Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 1) Asmodai earlier said he had to quit, due to RL constraints. Nothing else for me to report here.2) I think i will be working on this one shortly...3) This might be a toughy since im a HWE, but since ive been learning ascidian, and the fact that Howardson has issued quite a few ultimatums before (when noone else would), i could try being a secondary diplomat, but as i said, this might be tough since im already a specialist . Unless i could be a HWE/diplomat.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hehhe, you couldn't be a diplomat for a couple of reasons. 1. Your training should take a large portion of your work day. You're not exactly available for more tasks.2. Ultimatums aren't diplomatic. People who issue ultimatums aren't diplomats, they're tyrants. Having said that, Howardson CAN interpret a fair bit of Ascidian, so he can translate no problem (well, until the big words start coming out ).

Ion Mage Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Well... 1) What DOES a HWE do when hes off-duty? The way i look at it, there is a lot of free time on Howardson's hands for training. 2) I was just giving an example. I can likely do a bit more than ultimatums as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Is it just me or does the combination of HWE and diplomat sound odd to anyone? Sorry, but I just don't really see a guy carrying heavy weapons onto the battlefield being a diplomat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hehe, what do soldiers do when they aren't fighting? They'd better be doing something. Whatever it takes, pushing paper for scientists, cleaning toilets, scrubbing bulkheads, weapons care, gear care, etc. Training too. Physical exercise. Drills. Stupid stuff that the training sergeant orders you to do. Taking care of Drake. There shouldn't be any reason that anyone's schedule is too empty. And of course, you have what is really free time - yours to do with what you will. I'm hoping these social games are going on during that time and not X-Com time... Off duty is really that - you're not working. You can work by choice, of course, but don't expect overtime rates. Not that you have anywhere to spend... hehehe.

Loonie Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Well, well I thought you wouldn't show up for quite a while. Has your computer ban been lifted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioHazard Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 HWE's being diplomats are simply playing on "agressive diplomacy". Shoot first with the big guns, tell enemy: surrender or die, and shoot with all weaponry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonie Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 hehe. Howardson is actually a bit brighter than that. And Ghost even if it sounds wierd to have a HWE as a diplomat, it isn't impossible ya know. Just because a guy can carry heavy weaponry, doesn't mean he's overtly aggresive.

Mouse Nightshirt Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 DH, may I just add I've added some people to the roster, so don't overwrite unless you have the latest edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 I usually pull the file from the website and update that, as opposed to keeping a copy and overwriting the current-use file, so no worries. Thanks for the heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_175 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 1) Still here (necro)2)I will be updating my bio in the forseable future and a picture3)Happy where I am thanks4)Drake should be covered in honey and fed to fire ants Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonie Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 As far as my Bio is considered the only thing I'd have to ask is to change my secondary position there to Scientist. Thanx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Terrorist Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Yorke still is here..along with his ever growing collection of alien brains. I shall be updating my bio soon...ish, and there may be a picture of either the sectiod brain...or the Good Doctor Well I'm Doctor, and I am happy as Doctor, so I stay where I am. Drake should be released into the wild...on another planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonie Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I can see Drake's survival strategy in the wild right now. ::A wild flesh eating hog stalks the bunny Drake through heavy vegetation and suddenly the hog leaps towards him trying to devour him:: BUN_Drake: Ha! I am K-tulu! ::dodges the hog and gives it a sharp super bunny kick in the chops and after he lands, he whips out an X-Com Pistol he stole from NAO and fills the stupid hog full-a-lead:: Heh, even the entire X-Com team wouldn't be able to touch him. Indeed he goes straight into the mighty bunny ranks right next to the "Holy Grail" rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Terrorist Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 LOL!! yes I know, that wouldn't surprise me...you know it wouldn't surprise me if in fact the rabbit from 'Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail' is actually Drake that by some bizarre twist of fate was thrown back in time... Which if true then Drake should be listed as either MIA or KIA depending on if we can prove that Drake has been sent back in time and blown up by the 'Holy Hand Grenade' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
