I will be starting to set up a FAQ for the newbies here. So some of the Regulars will be getting some mail soon asking for their ideas + views. Also, you can reply to the newsgroup if YOU have anything to add! Keith the Ethereal Commander -- Keith Jones, Jones-Soft

Actually, if you can contact Kasey Chang, I believe this will assist, if not supply all relevant information, since he compiled the original 'unofficial' FAQ's and guides for UFO and TFTD. Sorry if this usurps your attempts, but I thought it may be useful.

Yes, this is a topic I greatly agree with. I think If we all speak up and tell each other what we expect from this news group it will help those checking us (the news group) out for the first time. It will give them an idea off the news groups expectations? My Ideas are : 1) To keep all topics of discussion X-COM based, as the majority are at the moment. The last thing I'd like to see or read about is some other X-COMee talking about his adventures in C&C or CIV. If I want to know about other games I would visit other game sites like, "comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic." :~ ) 2) FLAMERS, it would be nice and different (compared to some game news groups) if we could keep our conversasions, pleasant, funny, and encouraging. The last thing we want to be doing is downloading " slanderous" messages from each other. Also lets try our best to keep our language clean ( well cleanish ), Its hard telling my young son what F**king means or other sad "foul" words. ( I know keith supports me on this as well as I hope you will too). 3) A light hearted Idea but a nice one anyway and this I owe to Shaun Green. Yes If you are new why not introduce your self to the news group and tel us a little about yourself and your X-COM Xcapades. Well thats enough moaning from me and I'll look forward to the rest of your comments soon. ============================= >From Simon Trowman Please replace NOSPAM with clara

( I know keith supports me on this as well > as I hope you will too). This is a very important point - there are many newsgroups which do nothing more than support flame wars. I have found flame-free newsgroups (alt.fan.dune, for the most part, plus a few others) but some of them... <shudder> > 3) A light hearted Idea but a nice one anyway and this I owe to Shaun Green. > Yes If you are new why not introduce your self to the news group and tel us > a little about yourself and your X-COM Xcapades. Thank you! I'm glad to have sparked something off. Shaun Green / Greenish_9 "...a weapons system which is fully locked on your command bridge, by the way..." Trade Master Greenish, Star Control 2

I personally would like to see other people's feelings on the whole issue of XCOM, its history and what MPS are doing with it. I also find it quite interesting to see other people posting their recollections of good and memorable games - i.e. 'the time we got waxed big time, when we first encountered Bio-drones on that cargo ship terror mission...' >2) FLAMERS, it would be nice and different (compared to some game news >groups) if we could keep our conversasions, pleasant, funny, and >encouraging. Again, I agree, we only have to look to the strategic ng to see how things can degenerate into mindless squabbling... >3) If you are new why not introduce your self to the news group and tel us a little about yourself and your X-COM Xcapades. This sounds fair enough, I'd enjoy reading about other peoples adventures in XCOM. I'd also like people to get involved a bit more - I feel like I'm spending far too much time talking to myself here :-) Detonate

OK, well it seems not many people are to concerned about what goes into the newsgroup FAQ. The only people who did reply, agreed on the things mentioned, so me and Keith are going to get together and start work on it . PS: The FAQ sheet is not a tips doc, its just to welcome those who are new to the group, to let them know what to expect from the group and what the group expects from them. So if anyone would like anything to be added please let us now. ============================= >From Simon Trowman Please replace NOSPAM with clara
