OK, people. By the vote of the citizens of Abandonia, the new tactical forum game is X-Com Apocalypse.

Actual game will be started on Tuesday, the initial sign-in will be held until Monday. You can specify a couple of things, and make sure to tell me whether you'll accept the closest recruit I can find or you'd prefer to wait until one becomes avaible that matches your preferences.
1. Preferred gender. Male and Female troops are avaible. This does not matter in case of Androids, though.
2. Preferred species. Human, Alien Hybrid or Android. Humans are most common, Alien Hybrids are better psykers but worse on the rest of stats. Androids have high initial stats and cannot be psionized or brainsucked, but they do not improve over time, so a well experienced flesh-and-blood character will surpass an androids' stats.
3. Preferred stats. You can specify which particular ONE or TWO stats you want to have most prominent.
4. Preferred role. Your role in the squad defines your gear. You can specify a preference for particular _sort_ of equipment, but not specific weapons/ammo.
5. If you want a different name then your login on the board, specify it.

Stat adjustments:
If you are not satisfied with your initial stats, then you can request some points being transferred between up to THREE of your stats. This sort of action can be done only once per participant, and when it's done it's _permament_. Note that Android psi stats will not be adjusted.

Resurrecting: Resurrection is performed in order according to when Player Characters have died. I'll store hexadecimal strings pertaining to your characters' INITIAL stats, so when you come back from the resurrection queque, your character will be restored to how he/she was right after being recruited, green as grass again.

Don't care what you add for my stats

I'm so in.

Male Human named Reamus is fine.

I would prefer to have my stamina and shooting accuracy buffed up.

Ummm...I'm not sure what different roles there are in the game since I've never played, but how about a kick behind sniper if that's available? Not some wussy sniper, but one that takes out like, a bajillion aliens because he's so good.

If there is no sniper, then something that's always on the frontlines kickin the trash out of aliens, so strength and stamina would be my choices for then.

Sweet.

Anyone for me!

I missed UFO so really want to be in this one.......please! :kosta:

whatever(if you have some free psis make me a psi)
stats..anything will do

The roles are just basic descriptions of the function your character will perform in the squad. It's nothing in-game, but it will make it less troublesome to equip you bunch right.

Danny: please be a little more specific. Any male Human, right?

Android to start off with, but if I die make me a male human instead
Bullet shield/demolitions.
