Hi, lemme intro me: im Richy, and i'm here not after money or even trying to get hits for a website, im here cos this is one kick ass x-com site and i thought it'd be nice if i let you know about an online real(ish)-time game i'm planning to run based on X-com Ufo: defense (whatever you want to call it.) the idea is that people can sign up to be an x-com agent, they will be assigned to one of the three area's Military, Engineering or Science. according to the info provided, essentially you get to play yourself. im not sure how sucessful this whole thing is going to be as i need a LOT of people to play the game.
if you are interested pleae please please dont be afraid to ask, webby@yeovilgames.com for all your q's if you do want to 'sign up' then please contact me with this info on a scale of 1-5 (5=best) rate yourself for the following: general overall fitness hand eye co-ordination physical capability (strength) IQ (bright or dim?) i hope to see some of you soon. P.S. if there is no response Via email please visit the message board at yeovilgames.com thanks, i'll also check back here for any responses. |

it's defo not a raphics based thing, i have been ripping the game just to get some pictures etc for the site. most of the 'action' will take place on the sites message board, all that it REALLY involves is making the desicions for whats going to haooen, then i will do a bunch of dice rolling and write up a report.
as i say above if interested, drop a line to my mail, include the 'info' that i requested and then your in, simple as that. |

So do you get to chose who you are, or do you just get told what you are?

who you are is determined by a screening process (much like joining some odd military force or somthin, the provded info's rated out of 5 gives me the info to run through a flowchart i have, that tells me who goes where.
the infos i need again: level of overall fitness hand eye co-ordination physical capability (strength) IQ (how brainy) each rated out of five 1 being very poor, 5 being godlike. the site will hopefully be up soon so i can just point you there instead of trying to relay info via message boards. any other questions? |

As long as it doesnt have any preset times for missions, im game.
That is, if we have a large amount of time to make these decisions (like, a day or two), but not small amounts of time (5 minutes) basically, i want to play when i want to play. -------------------- Magic and technology combined....

Does anyone here remember Zager? :hmmm:
Everytime someone talks about an XCom RPG I have to come and remind them that he already has one running and he has done for months! Obviously a lot of work's gone into this thing that Richi's doing but do remember that Zager is running an identical program too. Otherwise enjoy, and good work Richy 
-------------------- Welcome back to the wonderful world of Fan-fiction! (it's short for fantastic!)
Go check em out, UFO TFTD and Apocalypse all under one roof!!! Also why not check out XCom : Colonisation over in the special projects forum. Won't kill you if you do, might kill you if you don't! |

ooh, had i of known that there was one already i coulda saved myself all those late night's and weekends... oh well
do you know where the other one is (web addy) ? would be nice to see... as for time... no not really any pressure, essentially i pause the game for when info need to be collected etc. so be it a day or a week in between the game goes forward at the pace of the slowest player. |

due to a hard drive problem all my work on this project has been erased.
 so there will be a small 'delay' before it all goes live. i basically have to re-write everything, including the website...note to self: if ever meet bill gates, kill. |

the website will have to wait, but i got this done in double time, there are a few missing forums (the missions etc) but they will be added as i get time to do them, please can all those who have 'signed up' register with the nickname that was provided. Defense -X- Forum also, all other X-com lovers feel free to hang out here, but please no spoiling information, remember ppl it's 1999 and a ufo has just been spotted.. we dont yet know about Psi amps or Blaster Bombs... |

ok, its time to get things under way.
slight changes were made due to the loss of data, please can everyone now sign up for the forum Http://www.defense-X.com/forum/ as soon as i have 20 - 30 active accounts the game will start. the website will be built during the following weeks. this give me time to really build a site about all your game characters more than anything. PS. Good Luck! |
