The Veteran Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 No problem JFish. I forgot to edit it what wiht four missing fingers and all They're all in working order again now though so I'll o it now EDIT: I also changed their orientation based on what you wrote a while back JFish. You said Green fireteam was rightside so they're now working up the eastern border as opposed to along the southern... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Go for it Niml. We always need new people in the fanfic. You could always adopt one of the lready existing 'filler' characters and just give them a personality. Right now we're really just wanting to kill some people off...

JellyfishGreen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 For continuity's sake, we'd better get the mission completed and back to base before introducing any more new characters. Go ahead and manipulate the existing characters, it's a fic not a sim. I'll have to write for other people's characters now anyway that I've killed off my contribution to squad one. But I'm not planning to kill off anyone else, other than aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hey nice one Snikers that's a good post and some good development. We could do with a lot more of that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Like Vet said, COME ON! There's a story to tell and I don't want to post right after Snickers because I posted right before. If this goes anything like my games more soldiers are going to die, but I suppose it's possible we've seen the last of the casualties. XCOM: wounded 1 or 2, dead 2Aliens: dead 2 (probably only 2 or 3 to go - of which 2 in the UFO itself) PS. If we do capture the UFO power source intact - no imbalance to plot - we're still researching laser weapons and can't afford the scientists to research the power source until much later anyway.

The Veteran Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've posted for all three fireteams pretty much. Red and Blue mostly but green is being penalised too Go and post. There's a lot of direction in the last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) Deadly stuff, guys. My post is imminent (and then I'm off on a week's vacation). NB. Snikers on July 17 had an alien pointing its rifle "at an inferior being for the second time that day" when it shoots O'Malley, we are to presume the first time was Jennings. Donovan dispatches this alien. Terrick dispatches a second sniper. So to move forward with any consistency, the alien Jennings has just spotted is actually a different (third) alien. EDIT: I have somewhat more to say, namely Warlord is called to aid Rick by clearing the brush with HE, then Rick gets the kill; Kitat and Donovan can take the right (east) flank as a new Green team, and Ki-tat has agreed to be the first to open the UFO and take a few shots from the two aliens remaining inside, ending up wounded, even unconscious, but not dead. Write some of it yourselves if you're inspired, otherwise I'll try again tomorrow. Edited September 25, 2003 by JellyfishGreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 gah. Ah well... Right ok this is a different alien but we don't know that do we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman42 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 You know, I'm thinking that for "minor battles", the results should just be summarized by someone; this is taking too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snikers Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Yeah, but this is first contact. Minor battles that don't mean ANYTHING can just be mentioned in passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 This should have only taken a week or so to write but noone is posting. Everyone is using the old 'my soldier isn't there' excuse. It doesn't matter! Just post for god sake! Actually Spaceman... I don't remember seeing a post from you in this battle... Maybe you should spend your effort doing that instead of complaining that noone else is... :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyfishGreen Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 (edited) I'm posting this from Malta - on vacation this week. I hope to see a new post from someone else when I get back what's your excuse? JFG EDIT: And I'm back... I'll prepare a post for next week (13th Oct) unless someone says "Hang on, I'm in the middle of writing one" and/or posts before then. In which case I'll gladly modify mine to agree with their events. Edited October 7, 2003 by JellyfishGreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasicar Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 ahhh... I'm back. Sorry for the lengthy absence, things have been hellaciously difficult for me these last few months and it doesn't look like it is going to ease up. :hmmm: However, I think I'll be able to squeeze 'some' writing time in. Jelly, could you email me and give me a quick synopsis as to what is going on in the fic? -Rasicar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 JFish did you finish the post that you got half way through writing before you left? I haven't posted because I've been waiting for that to end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
