The Veteran Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I don't believe so Zager, you should be very proud of yourself! Now I'm off into mod mode... Point One. Hankosha has not been abducted by aliens and definitely is not an alien... He's inside the most well protected place in the world, and why the hell would aliens be looking for human abductees in the middle of the Aussie outback? Plus the obvious fact that abducters don't even begin to appear in the game until about four months in...Point Two. The only way the amulet could possibly keep Hankosha sane/alive is if it contains some kind of drug... Which I'm going to say it hasn't. You're moving way too fast Hankosha and it's going to ruin the fanfic. Keep the charm as a charm and keep Hankosha as Hankosha. There are no abductions or aliens in the base. Noone has even witnessed let alopne experienced psionic powers and a blue dragon is not stimulation for the mind... It's a blue dragon...End of mod mode...

Snikers Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Mebbe he's just totally out of his mind, but no one cares because he keeps it quiet or is a very good soldier. Maybe he didn't even go into the right room at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonie Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Ja, we all just LOVE schizo soldiers... Eh, I wish that held for a certain little unknown character known as MadCap. But what the heck what we have here is fine. And less prattle here and more battle in the Fic. Write people!! Asides from me and Zager it's empty. I want to see some hungover faces and stumbling. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos the Jackal Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 None of you will belive this. But I'm actually going to write something soon. Having read through. 1. Um... phychic powers and magic charm? ...Nein!2. X-Com does not recruit from A.I.M, so please excuse my suprise at seening Ivan. Ivan is however, bucket loads of fun in any incarnation. Just no more JA mercs please... If i see Scope or Grunty running around, there will be trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snikers Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 How about Hamous to drag back dead aliens? "Hamous like mule - carry much, no complain..." j/k of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Just my little tribute to what I consider to be one of the finest strategy series (next to X-COM) ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Right, come on now guys this is just stupid! We have two brilliant fics here and noone is posting in either of them! Now are any of these bullets live or aren't they Zager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Only one in sixty. Since they're not trying to kill them, and there's plenty of cover around, the odds of anybody being wounded by a bullet are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Smells like Heinlein. (Starship Troopers.) But Zim used 1 live round in 500, which is a much safer ratio - especially when using automatic weapons! I'm trying to think of something to write, really I am. Best I can say so far is that Squad 2 is, maybe, out jogging, up early in an effort to prove they're just as gung-ho as Squad 1, and it isn't doing Green's hangover any good. Oh yeah, and Hankosha's in Squad 3. Maybe try writing for a filler Squad 1 character? And stick to the rules of the exercise or get court-martialed? And, I miss Doc.

Spaceman42 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 It's difficult to post anything relevant when nothing's happening to the aircraft. Dherzhin's doodling aliens on his clipboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 I've got nothing to post in either fic. In UFO, nothing. In Apoc, the timeline has just caught up with my previous two posts. My vote: We move on to the first mission, then people will start posting. We need something to post about, and a mission will provide that.

JellyfishGreen Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I'm preparing an "encounter of the first kind" for a 767 inbound from Paris to Sydney. I'm writing it to occur on Jan 2 or 3 so I will refer to time having elapsed since Jan 1 Training Day. Zager, you might think about what the other squads were doing on Jan 1, and whether squads in training are considered ON or OFF the mission-eligible roster for that shift. I'd think OFF, as they're not ready to scramble if they're on an obstacle course. Vet, the time is ripe for you to explain what TJ did in London and whether he's back the next day as expected - otherwise he'll be stuck in London when the scramble order goes out. I'd also like to have Genega musing on his operation - or even just a word to the funding council that the base is officially operational. (Before the alert goes out.) Anyone can write this if they get ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Right ho folks. Trigger is in England with his family and friends. I doubt very much that we'll hear anything else from him until he's back in Oz now so the field is yours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman42 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Did I done do good on dat one, boss? [And yes, there *is* a band UFO, and it *did* release the song "Unidentified Flying Object". In fact, it did so back in 1976... Appropriate background music, yes...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankosha Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Ok. I'm hoping maneuvers will take place soon, and I need full combat gear, meaning coms, flashbangs, guns, extra ammo.... etc. I need action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasicar Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Lo all, just announcing my plans. I'm mostly going along with Zager's training series right now from the perspective of Donovan. Trying to get caught up in all the reading and updates...hope I didn't throw a monkey in the wrench as it were. -Rasicar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alitorious Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Yay! New blood! Maybe now the thing will continue? Basically, I can't post anything. Bruheme is in squad 3, and my other 2 characters are scientists. It's funny, because I feel guilty for not helping the fanfic along, but I can't really think of anything to help it along. I think we should fast-forward to the evening, but we can wrap up Ivan's training with flashbacks. This way, members from all 3 squads would be able to post, and *maybe* we can get a medium scout contact on radar, and send out a squad. Hey, are the HWP's ready for the first mission? I think maybe we should have the first mission without the tanks, because that often happens in the game (UFO contact before ordered tanks arrive). Subsequent missions should have a HWP along with them, though. Well, whaddya thinkeh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasicar Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 are you kidding? Any chance I get to collaborate with fellows writers... I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
