Harald387 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 This is inspired by the [url="http://utdallas.edu/~katies/skippy.html"]'100 things Skippy is not allowed to do in the US Army'[/url] list. 100 Things Skippy is not allowed to do in X-Com: 1. 'Muton Girls are Easy' is not the motto of the Psi Divison. 2. I am not allowed to encourage the PsiDiv members to "have the aliens do the can-can". 3. Plasma Rifles may not be used to heat my morning coffee. 4. I may not accuse PsiDiv members of 'messing with my head'. 5. Even if they're actually doing it. 6. Commander Jonlan's proper form of address is "Commander", not "Miss Cleo" 7. Psi-amps are not filled with yummy candy. 8. Elerium-115 is not to be sold in schoolyards as 'the next wave in chemical entertainment'. 9. Proximity grenades may not be left in the latrines 'in case the aliens go to the loo'. 10. Filling aliens full of stimulants 'just to see them jitter and jive' is not an appropriate use of my medikit. 11. The purpose of rookies is *not* "To open doors carrying two primed grenades". 12. The Firestorm is not a UFO; I am not allowed to shoot at it. 13. I may not hang a 'Just Married' sign and a bunch of tin cans from the back of the hovertank. 14. Blaster Launchers are not to be sold on the black market. 15. Plasma weaponry is not to be sold on the black market. 16. I am not allowed to sell anything on the black market. 17. The alien surgery may not be used to 'play doctor'. 18. Alien Food is not food. 19. Snakemen may not be kept in aquariums. 20. Reapers are not fuzzy pets. 21. Alien Entertainment is not suitable for children. 22. Stun Bombs are not fireworks. 23. Flying suits may not be used to 'buzz the tower'. 24. Alien corpses may not be turned into 'Do It At Home Alien Autopsy Kits'. 25. Tinfoil hats are not a substitute for the base's Mind Shield. 26. Civilians are not "Chryssalids waiting to happen." 27. The Hyper-Wave Decoder does not receive cable TV. 28. I may not leave my pet rock in charge of my station. 29. Dead Silacoids may not be substituted for pet rocks. 30. Live Silacoids may not be substituted for pet rocks. 31. Aliens do not like bubblegum. 32. Not even if I brought enough for all of them. 33. Celatid venom is a paralytic nerve toxin, not 'happy juice'. 34. I may not sign a secret pact with the alien forces. 35. I may not sign a public pact with the alien forces. 36. I am not permitted to defect in order to get 'supreme alien powers'. 37. The X-Com Commander is not an alien, and I am not allowed to deploy the fusion ball defenses against him. 38. At no point during a mission should I point and scream "facehugger!!!". 39. Blaster Launchers may not be programmed for U-turns. Further contributions are welcome. (This list was made by K. Smyth ([email protected]. Feel free to distribute it, but kindly attribute it as well. Thanks!) -K"H"S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sooo funny. I reckon we should impliment that as an undocumented feature. Though I'd waste my medkits on them. Hmm maybe do the same for troopers, give them too much stim and they go jittering around like George of the jungle after too much espresso. 11. Is my standard operating procedure :devilsmile: what else are rookies good for? 31. Can you just imagine giving am muton bubblegum 40. When exiting landing craft do not leave primed proxy grenades on the floor, no matter how much of a laugh it is. 41. Alien bases are not the place to pronounce you're pregnant.

Atropos Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 I will never again teach a Muton to play poker. If I do teach a Muton to play poker, I will not play with him. If I do play with him, I will not bet the Skyranger. If I do bet the Skyranger, I will not do so in the hopes that I will draw into an inside straight.

Deathskull Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 (edited) Mind probes are not bowling balls since they dont any finger holes. If you find a mind probe with finger holes you may not use it as a bowling ball, unless nobody can tell the diference. Proximity mines are not to be put into toilets or alien corpses that are about to be disected, even if its to protest alien disection.
