Title: Strangest Squad Make-up/Ideas
Post by: Hague on December 01, 2008, 05:15:19 pm
Post any of your strangest squad ideas.

Personally, I think I'm gonna try for a team of brainwashed Firefighters whom are 20 in Axe skill and ride around town in a Pick-up Truck wearing Bunker Gear covered in blood.

Before it was removed, a tank, a taxi driver, a prostitute, a guard dog, a sweatshop worker, and a teenager. The family that kills together in a tank stays together.

Start by renaming your leader "MI6".

Then, grab six expensive suits and 9MMs.

Rename six liberals as "001", "002","003","004","005", and "006".

Give them the suits and 9MMs.

Hey, it works for Bond, why not the LCS?

Remember to make your slogan, "Shaken, not stirred"!

Euchre that is the best idea ever and I love you for it.

"Do you expect me to turn this country to elite liberal?"

I once I had a squad of three swordsmen known as the Three Musketeers.
They died quickly, though. Sword < AR-15

That's nonsense. Swords are better than the AR-15 provided you have some strength and skill on them. I have a squad which; out of pure randomness and controversy, is named "Nigga what?", that is equipped with heavy body armor and swords. All they do is raid the CCS and fend off silly police, SWAT and Soldiers. I dare say they do an utmost excellent job at it.

They must have more experience than my two teenagers and priest, then.

Well, yes, but I never undertake a mission unless my men are properly trained. Elite Liberals are the way to go for proper damage to the Conservative Machine. The Conservative Bodycount is up at 693. I doubt very much that my Liberal Freedom Fighters will be released if placed in custody. Thankfully they are skilled enough to evade capture from virtually any attacker. These guys are the ones I send in to destroy entire Conservative Lairs in a single strike.

My leader has 19 in Swords, and pretty much always either neutralizes or kills whatever he strikes at.

How do you level up your men then? By killing the Bouncers and then fleeing?

Idea:
Name your founder Batman, one recruit Robin, and only ever send those two to sites.

"I'm the goddamn Batman!"
Police Officer chickens out!

@Servant Corps

Pretty much; but I make sure my Founder is well versed in all the arts of death (though the main focus is undoubtedly swords; which I have found to be very, very effective, as they require no reloading, and provided you have a high strength and agility, give you a massive amount of damage). For money I either loot corpses or sell brownies. Poor cops, they never see my Elite Liberals coming.

Here's another idea:

Recruit six hippies, or crack heads for variety.

Give them goofy superhero names, whether they be actual comic book characters or stuff you make up (Like Liberal Man, the naked guitarist).

Bonus points if you name your founder Xavier, and make your recruits the
X-Men.

Here's some X-Men for you to use:

Wolverine: Liberal with knifes
Gambit: Liberal with trenchcoat and staff
Nightcrawler: Liberal with devil mask
Colossus: Liberal in Body Armor

Looks like MI6 has a severe shortage of "talent".  ;D

These are hippies just recruited. They get juice fast after a few cigar bar raids.

This.

Also, it's always fun to recruit teenagers at the CEO mansion and send them back to expose the wrongdoings of their parents.

Single man with 15 martial arts skill and army body armour.  He has about 16 tactics as well, so nothing ever hits him.  Ever.  I call him Neo.

Army body armor? Pffft. He should be in a trenchcoat and you know it.

If nothing ever hits him; then give him the trenchcoat. It's what makes him fly. Everybody knows magical Christ figures run on black leather in the form of a trenchcoat.
Title: Re: Strangest Squad Make-up/Ideas
Post by: Sithlordz on December 04, 2008, 06:33:45 am
I concur, a Trenchcoat is required.

Edit: Holy crap, someone hit me!
At least it was in the leg, which makes it canon.  Right?

Neo now uses a daisho; I don't think he has a high-enough strength to dismember people consistently though.

A 6-man squad composed of martial artists in trench coats.

I experimented with this, with just my founder, one Black Belt and a bunch of hand-selected high agile/strength hippies.

They did a lot better then I expected, the Martial Arts skill advances quick and easy (just wail on random Conservatives and book it before the cops come) ultimately I lol'd and got bored with it after being gunned down by many, many policemen. Might try it again to see if I can get a squad of 6 invincible Elite Liberal martial artists to multi-fistedly bring down the CCS and the Conservative power structure.

My unnerving liberal slogan was "HII-YAHH!"

So, you have MI6, and six double-o agents. What about their sportscars?

This is another reason why we need machine guns on cars.
