Reborn XCOM RolePlay

Reborn


XCOM RolePlay
XCOM is a Turn Based Strategy game, with several opposing factions dueling over what they believe in, and the inevitable fate of the Earth.
The events of XCOM RP Take place 3 years after the original XCOM campaign, in which XCOM failed to defend Earth from the alien invasion. ADVENT has recently been formed, and the unification process is at its peak. XCOM has just been started back up with a new commander, in an attempt to stop ADVENT and the aliens from sustaining control of the Earth.

Info
The server is not currently up as we are coding and searching for a host.
The forum is :http://sweetrp.boards.net/
(About the URL, it was originally a HL2RP forum, which is why it has a stupid name. I can't change it currently.)

Whitelists
Civilian - Starting Whitelist, normal life under ADVENT control.

XCOM - Rebel forces attempting to stop the ADVENT and the Aliens. Applications are OOC, and has a ranking system based off of the XCOM : Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within game.

ADVENT - Completely custom ranks, full of PassiveRP when patrolling the cities, and intense combat RP against XCOM alongside the Aliens.

Aliens - Aliens are mostly hidden, working with ADVENT. They are much more powerful than in the original XCOM: Enemy Unknown Games.


Story
The story of XCOM RP is quite simple, really. The events take place three years after XCOM: Enemy Unknown, in which XCOM failed to defend Earth from the Alien invasion. Advent has unified the aliens and humans, and XCOM doesn't like that. The rest is made by the players.

Gameplay
We first thought of using rolls as it would fit the chance system of the XCOM games, however, we decided we'd make a P2L system. It goes as such [PREPARE FOR HARD MATH]

Full Cover (Walls etc) > Half Cover (Waist high objects) > No cover

Medium Range, Long Range and Short range is considered with the users weapon, meaning players with snipers won't get any advantages out of using it at close range.

All Combat is P2L, if a situation turns into an LOOC argument, a roll will be allowed.

Map
We are currently voting on a map on the forums.

Events
Events will be frequent, and map changes may also happen. ADVENT will regularly host celebrations, ceremonies, and political speeches, which XCOM can intervene. Civilians can side with ADVENT or XCOM, but cannot be a part of them without applying, but they can assist them, this stops the dreaded "We're the resistance, want to join us?" problem HL2RP had.

Rules
Going AWOL as either XCOM or ADVENT is OOCly allowed, however, if you are caught, your character will be executed and you will be de-whitelisted. If you commit heinous crimes whilst AWOL, your character will be sent to Black-Watch prison permanently, and will result in a permanent blacklist from either Whitelist. You can appeal the Black-Watch blacklist, albeit it being incredibly difficult to do so, and will only be allowed once. Aliens cannot go AWOL, unless brainwashed.

While XCOM and Advent units can become panicked, they cannot attack teammates without adequate reason, this stops minges from going /me panics and shoots the Commander.

Death is permanent, just like in XCOM, if you die, your character is dead forever.

Notes
We are open to suggestions, ideas and criticism.
We are looking for a new forum.
We are looking for someone to help code and host the server.
We need more staff members.

Final Words
The reason the forums are barren is because a rogue admin deleted everything, we have since been fixing it by re-posting applications etc. Most applications are in their beta form as of now.

Thank you for reading.

i was excited but then it was maxenzie
do you have ingame screenshot's of this?

 

Not currently, as the server is still being coded and we are still searching for a host.

Also, ERP is restricted to civilians and off duty ADVENT/XCOM units.

 

oo killem.
what will @MaXenzie say?

 

Fair enough.

But you currently can't join since it doesn't exist yet.

 

That's fine. I'm not forcing you to join.

 

I can't wait to ERP with aliens.

 

Aliens cannot ERP. Unless you count the Chryssalid laying eggs in a mans chest.

 

All of you are sick, I don't think aliens laying eggs in a man is ERP, IN THAT case wouldn't the movie alien have a sex scene for everytime a face hugger laid an egg in a human.

 

I was joking.

 

I agree with you. Once I have actual gameplay from the server, the thread will be updated, and once I have the knowledge/funds for/of a better forum, I will use it.

 

Thanks! I'm usually a joker but I enjoy taking part in servers, which is why I wanted to see if anyone would like this idea.

 

ehhh. i've seen how you act on the forums, maxenzie. i'll just stay neutral until we start seeing some ingame screenies ye?

 

ERP?
On an alien controled dystopia?
By humans that are controlled by aliens?
Which would cause the most destructive rebellious movement in the entire Earth?
And people still have fucking time to lick eachother on their lesbian characters?
Nah, thanks.

 

ERP is restricted, as I said. The civilians are not controlled by aliens, they are controlled by ADVENT. I'm sure only certain people will be allowed to have intercourse since ADVENT could force only the best people so their genes can pass on, assisting the aliens.

 

Oi, incase you haven't noticed, ADVENT is controlled by aliens, which technically makes anyone under the ADVENT's control be, well, controlled by aliens.
Also, I still don't care about the restrictions, it's sickening and should never be passed on.

 

Well, I can't help it if you dislike ERP. I believe in freedom of Roleplay, and that anyone should be allowed to Roleplay anything as long as it is in the boundaries of logic. I personally believe that sex or any other kind of intercourse, sexual or otherwise, does make sense in most worlds. If you do not enjoy Erotic Roleplay, you do not have to take part, or even notice its existence, just walk away from it. And also, instead of trying to annoy people by being this aggressive, please bring actual criticism and thought into your replies. "I hate ERP, this server sucks" Isn't really useful to me or any other staff member of the soon-to-be Server.
