The Moscow Metro Red Line wrote:What are the times for the Mission and the people back at base? I guess I'm sort of confused regarding where's where's. So in Mexico it is in the afternoon or the dead of night? At the base what time is it in relation to the mission. Does the technical demonstration occur as the mission is going on or some other time?

Also I have a question regarding missions and their country of origin. If we have an soldier from France and the mission occurs in France, does the inclusion of the soldier mean that the ground team might have more back up? Like in the previous example, would we get help from the French Military because we have one of their soldiers in our ranks or would they still stand-idly by. It would be an interesting mission to rescue military personnel or those missions that happen to occur on or near military bases. I'm just thinking.

Both areas are in the same timezone. The mission started at 11:45 so it would be between 12 and 12:30 by now.

For the second question I would think not, XCom's mission is very much hush hush.


Are we all going by the 24-hour clock or the 12-hour clock? Because I assumed that it was the 24-hour clock unless specified.

Also I asked that because I think it would be cool if we had air-dropped vehicles in the future. Of course I understand that dropping vehicles would make it no longer covert. But I still think it would provide some interesting support options. I got the idea from Xenonauts (It's like XCOM but with a Cold War setting. I never played it but I understand that the player could control small vehicles.).

In the military its always the 24 hour clock.

Anowa, I don't know the whole thing, but it might be best if you just drop it. I just have a gut feeling this could escalate.

Anyway, I think I'll try to join to get back in the groove of Rping while I work on my own.

Hopefully.

I'd also like to remind people that upon dropping from an RP, the character(s) of those who have dropped are considered NPCs, as such you have limited control, like squad movements or fire support. Don't go stuffing them into the meat grinder willy nilly.

So what are the thoughts on Ex-Special Forces? I'm not going to make my guy some Seal Team 6 Guy who strangled Kim Jong Un with Osama Bin Laden's spinal cord, just a Sniper who was shortly apart of the SAS before joining up with XCOM.

Unfortunately, both assaults and snipers are on longer being accepted, Ex-Special Forces I think is okay.

I know snipers get all the kills and carry a team throughout EU (at least for me) but can't have too much of a good thing. Could use more Marksmen though. It's almost a sniper.

Yes. I plan on Barbs becoming a MEC Trooper if he survives long enough.

I plan on Wolfram becoming Psionic, partly because mind-reading is funny, but so is nth degree warp fuckery.
