The base will now be in Germany, which won with 3 votes and one for Europe, otherwise it was tied with the USA and Siberia+Russia. The difficulty setting is 5- Superhuman. Good luck, you'll need it. The council remains divided though, what will our base's name be? It was going to be named NyanComm, with two votes, until the controversial French Councillor RickVoid rescinded his vote. You may choose from these entries: NyanComm Vigilo Confido gently caress off aliens! A gently caress of Aliens The People's Republic of Extraterrestrial Management (Shortened on the map to P.R.E.MAN) CentComm This vote will continue until Saturday. At that point, we'll get to see the base... HerpicleOmnicron5 fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Apr 3, 2015 |

Naturally the Chinese representative would never use language unbecoming of a citizen of the glorious Republic, but we have to agree that gently caress off aliens! is a glorious name for any anti alien movement. We will attempt to brand it to boost funding, heavens know we need it. How does "gently caress of aliens!!"℠ lunchboxes sound?

You got it as "gently caress of aliens" for what you're putting on the lunchbox, rather than "gently caress off aliens". Chinese products are notorious for having similar wrong word/poor spelling errors, so I was pointing out something I felt was actually historically appropriate, rather than poking fun at you. I actually had no idea that English wasn't your first language, so good on you.

A "gently caress of aliens" sounds like some kind of collective noun, like a "murder of crows" or "plague of lawyers."

I must protest the use of the racist term "Engrish". We must face this alien threat united as one Humanity, and not let our old prejudices split us apart. That said, I have received word from the Diet that deliberations have concluded; and gently caress off aliens is our official recommendation for the name of our base. The Otaku Coalition has requested that, since the rest of the Diet "refuses to accept the changing face of Japanese culture in the court of international opinion" and did not vote for NyanComm, I put forth the motion that we adopt a mascot character, drawn in the Japanese "anime" style. Such a character is sure to aid recruitment efforts and raise morale, and it is the spirits of the troops that sharpen their swords.

January 1st, 1999. "A gently caress of Aliens" HQ. The project's humble beginnings are in Europe, as voted by the people. This was done through a global poll of "Which nation do you believe is most likely to be vaporized in alien attacks?" in a science fiction magazine. The council itself had little input on the matter, as their voting power was not yet decided by the project heads. This has changed. All council members will find adjoined to the bottom of this document their current voting power. The three global powerhouses however are the USA, Japan and... Brazil. Brazil have yet to send a council liason, but it is hoped they are more competent than Councillor CirclMastr of the USA.  The base, codenamed "A.F.O.A.", was hastily laid out. There is currently no method of holding prisoners and there are multiple access points. Furthermore, our radar range is quite limited by the small system in place.  As you can see, we have very little room for our staff to work in and much less to store our goods and any resources we commandeer from the alien menace. Do take into account that this version of the game has been modified so we actually require storage space to hold our loot. Armaments should perhaps be held in the Skyranger for use in the field when possible.  We have three aircraft. One is the aforementioned Skyranger, our top of the line transport aircraft. No current military transport can even hope to match the speed of the Skyranger. The other two are Interceptor-class fighters piloted by veteran pilots of the "Merlyn" squadron. Merlyn-1, Captain Crowsbeak, is an ace pilot with over 15 confirmed air kills. At least, that's what he put on his CV as no military can confirm this. Nevertheless, he outperformed other candidates in a mock-dogfight scenario. These abilities will become necessary as we ascertain the abilities of our foes. All Interceptor class fighters are currently equipped with Stingray-class Air-to-Air missiles. Their avionics are specially shielded, yet enemy ECM is powerful enough to reduce their effective range to only 30km. Alternatively, we could equip them with the nuclear Avalanche-class Air-to-Air missiles. The only issues with it involve the damage to the surrounding area and the total annihilation of most alien craft who are subjected to a hit from these things. They have a maximum range of 60km. Of course, our Interceptors also are armed with cannons. These are radar-guided cannons with a maximum effective range of 10km. These are the least likely to cause catastrophic damage to alien craft.  These are our currently enlisted troops. Please do not inquire as to the nature of the garbled text. We have no idea what may have caused this, and ask for you to not be concerned. They are all available for duty aboard the Skyranger if an enemy is detected. The Skyranger can hold 14 troops at once, with a tank counting as 4-6 troops. We apologise for our inability to give an accurate figure.  Here are the armaments aboard the Skyranger. Troops are encouraged to take their pick of this gear and declare their preferences. Please do not concern yourselves with issues of storage, the Skyranger accommodates plenty of gear.  Our Research wing only has 10 people working for it. The three projects available to them are vital in their own individual ways. One of our scientists must please step forward in order to the Chief position in order to decide upon our course of action for research. This ends our guided tour of the A.F.O.A. base. Included below are the following: A list of items that the Council of Funding Nations have allowed us to purchase. The Quartermaster may order items from this list. An updated state of funding. Council members will find their percentage of the vote has been added to their entry in the second post. The Purchasing Catalog:    The Funding:  It is now up to the Base Staff to finish organizing and begin giving orders. If by Sunday there are no other candidates to the Base Commander and Quartermaster roles, Ygmir and Teddles are in. We also need a Research and Development chief.

There's no real reason to carry a pistol if you've already got a rifle anyway. I really like that OpenXCOM solved the item count problem. With a team that can actually carry a large enough supply of smoke (and other) grenades, my starting missions got a lot less bloody. I also love the option that lets you sell captured aliens, and for double the cash of a corpse - this adds a bit of an optional goal to every mission.

Could we possibly see a list of facilities that could be built? Russia appreciates the support of the other nations in it's proposal to Blow The Fuckers Up, in appreciation, we have drafted a short-form proper 'list' of directives that are to be established by the proposal. The proposal has two parts to it. Section A, which directs equipping of our soldiers, along with Section B, which directs research and development. Council Proposal 2D: Blow the Fuckers Up Section A A1. All Soldiers are to carry with them, after normal arming, an amount of grenades equal to the amount, by weight, that that soldier is capable of carrying. ----- i. There is a preference for high explosive grenades, then either regular grenades, or proximity grenades. Should there be lacking numbers of grenades, more should be purchased. ----- ii. At a soldier's personal choice. Smoke grenades may be carried in lieu of, or in addition to regular grenades. A2. At least one Soldier on each mission is to be equipped with one of the following: a) Rocket Launcher; or b) Auto-cannon; or c) Heavy Cannon; These soldiers are to be assigned one (1) buddy that will accompany them. Said HWB (Heavy Weapon Buddy) will have the duty to carry extra ammo for the HWO. ----- i. Soldier's may choose their own ammo, but the council suggests soldiers heavily consider the suggestion of High Explosive > Incendiary > Armor Piercing A3. In Lieu of Section A, Subsection 2, a tank may be deployed instead. A4. Due to the progressing nature of weapons in war, this proposal may be amended as new weapons technology is developed. Section B B1. The Primary Focus of Research should be the creation of new weapon systems. As of current writing, this would be the development of laser weapons. If there is no research that will lead directly to new weapons, Research may direct themselves at will. ----- i. Should a scientist believe that a particular topic may lead to new 'weapons', they are to present their case to the Council. Should it be that the case is strong enough, the research Priority will be amended. ----- ii. At all times outside this Section, Research shall be directed by the head of R&D, keeping in mind a focus on new weapons. Priorities after weapons may be directed at the directors whim. B2. Development of new weapons shall be immediate upon completion of discovery of technology. Manufacturing will have whatever budget so determined as needed to mass produce weapons created. ----- i. All Soldiers are to be equipped with the newest weapon system they can use, as quantity allows. ----- ii. Weapons shall be produced in excess to the needs of the Base and Organization. Extra weapons are to be sold to both Council and Non-Council countries to assist in the war effort. It is imperative a profit still be made off of these sales. It is also with this written proposal that the Council suggests and nominates chiasaur11 for the position of Chief of R&D at base A.F.O.A. Russia also will accept the nomination of Teddles for Chief Quartermaster, barring a better applicant appearing. At this time Russia does not wish to vote for a Base Commander, as it would prefer the Base Commander to be an experienced soldier that is a member of the Project. However, should one be required to move forward, a vote for an applicant will be submitted post-haste, as applicants become clear. 64bitrobot fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Apr 4, 2015 |

Sorry, I forgot about the facility list. I even uploaded the picture.   Also, here is a troop spreadsheet where you can insert your preferences. Still put it in the thread of course. It also has all of your stats. 64bitrobot posted:At this time Russia does not wish to vote for a Base Commander, as it would prefer the Base Commander to be an experienced soldier that is a member of the Project. However, should one be required to move forward, a vote for an applicant will be submitted post-haste, as applicants become clear. All Base Commanders are recruited from the soldier pool. In this case, an applicant for Base Commander will be placed into active service after their month. One is not required, but highly recommended.
