Team Name: The Old Gamers HIT squad

Members:

Myself

and

Everyone over 25

Mode operations: To show these little whippersnappers (8 year olds) what real games were about (Fun) and not glamor.

Syndicate on GOG: YES YES YES YES YEEEEAAAH!

Syndicate on GOG II: double YEEAAH! for being one game you have previously told us that would NOT be coming to GOG due to... err... intellectual property complications? Great effort, you guys!

Syndicate on GOG III: great timing too, they're starting to build some hype around the new Syndicate FPS that's going to be released within a month.

Contest: oh shit I have the best idea but there's no time!!! Contest applications close thursday already?!

If I don't participate in the contest, this is going to be one of the very few games (along with, I don't know, Master of Magic and the Ultima series) that I'm going to buy right away, not waiting for a discount sale or the prospect of playing in the next few days. Great move GOG, great move.

Team Name: Duster Squad

Team composition: Clone #001, Clone #002, Clone #003, Clone #004

Method of Operation: Liberal use of heavy weapons and fire. Also violence might be involved.

Mission parameters: Most likely wetwork, with the odd parcel run or "acquisition" of personnel thrown in from time to time.

Short version: It's 106 miles to New Chicago, we got a full tank of napalm, half a pack of ammunitions, it's dark... and we're wearing cybereyes.

Ah the lowly peons who decide to make their companies chalk full of *experts* and are about as stealthy as a nuclear strike

Clearly they have never been privy to methods employed by the Illuminati

First and foremost my team name and my team members. I most warn you that most of this information has been redacted

Team Name: REDACTED

Name: REDACTED
Skills: A genius with computers he has founded REDACTED and REDACTED. And was the driving force behind the REDACTED. As such that puts his skills in Networking (both in the computer and human sense) in a league all his own. However after (REDACTED) he has had issues with drinking. But then who could blame him.

Name: John Smith
Skills: His specialties lie in REDACTED and pie baking. Of course the former is infinitely more useful to GOG; however we have noticed that a good pie does tend lower people's guards. His exploits in REDACTED as well as the invasion of REDACTED make him an excellent addition to our team.

Name: Jane Doe
Skills: As chairwoman of REDACTED she is a unique asset to us. Able to sit next to the power players and see what they do. She can often sit in on secret meetings and report their goings on, and no one would bat an eye at her presence.

Name: Splyth
Skills. No truly remarkable skills to speak of, however this organization occasionally requires a peon to carry out it's will. In other words: expendable

Mission Objective:
We use various shell companies and other forms of misdirection to keep our organization as secret as possible. After all it's much harder to subvert something that no one knows exists.

We use our connections to slowly exert our will over the corporations until we are the ones pulling the strings. Then when it's appropriate we *assist* GOG in it's rise to the top

Team name: Heavy Metal Slugg
Team members: Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Julia
Method of Operation: Goright, goright, goright and look for trouble. When enemy in sight: Players 1, 2 and 3 fire at will and when a danger is more or less burned, Julia rips an enemy with a chain sword. When some member dies - insert a coin.
Maxim: Good slaughter or fire and watch out for tilt!

The HAL Pals (see pg 5) wish to form an alliance. Your technology is perfect for our goals. We shall call our group CD-32. The "CD" stands for "computer dependency".

Team name: Sci-fi bastards

Team Members:

Jean-Luc Picard:

Who doesn't love this bald captain? He hardly even need a persuadatron in order to convince people to join in on his cause. And if diplomacy still fails he will draw the line and blast you before you can say "Warp factor fuck you". Having once been a borg, implants are obviously of no concern whatsoever. Perfectly suited to be a squad leader. Favours the gauss gun for some reason...

Ellen Ripley:

Extremely fast-learning and adaptive, Ellen is the ideal agent for infiltration as well as indirect yet aggressive engagements. Fully automatic weapons and flame-throwers are her preferred weapons of choice, but is more than capable of using any kind of weapon to a great effect. An outstanding jack-of-all-trades.

Sarah Connor:

Now this baby is a pro at dealing with anything that is mechanical. Having already dealt with cyborgs as a 100% human being and at incredible odds stacked against her, imagine the devastation that she will wreck once augmented and loaded up with appropriate weaponry. While not quite as adaptive as Ellen, she more than makes up for it with heavy firepower, tactics and extensive level of experience. Is exceptionally skilled with fully automated weapons and shotguns.

"Blain":

This guy is all about the heaviest of firepower. The bigger, the better. When facing overwhelming numbers, this is the guy you want to have upfront. Originating from the baddest team of badasses, he was unmatched in sheer destruction. Another upside is that he does not require expensive drugs that dictates his behaviour. For some reason, plain chewing tobacco will do the job. His weapon of choice is the minigun, though other heavy weapons are acceptable as well.


Method of operation:

There is only one mode of operation, codenamed "D&D". Diplomacy and Destruction. Basically, the team leader will use "Diplomacy" to persuade and the moment this is no longer applicable the team switches over to "Destruction". Team positioning and tactics dictates the level of destruction from "Mildly catastrophic" to "Total apocalypse".

TEAM LOOPHOLE
Saving the North-East Coast one escape clause at a time

Associates

HOVERCRAFT PILOT
Code Name: Spaceballs

File Name: Gumbo, Jed T.

Primary Military Specialty: Hovercraft Captain
Secondary Military Specialty: Astroturf Calibration Technician
Birthplace: Stinky Creek, TX

Spaceballs feigned interest in the nautical arts from an early age. With the help of an old man, he learned the art of the rudder and how to cut a jib. All the sea air gradually affected his lifestyle; most notably by rusting the bearings on his roller skates--which he discovered as he careened head-first into the dunking booth at his third grade prom. His psych reports come back clean and his history will not effect team performance.

Note: Spaceballs will not pilot any vehicle over water.


ANTI-AIRCRAFT SOLDIER
Code Name: Downside

File Name: Liksore, Larry L.

Primary Military Specialty: Air Defense Artillery
Secondary Military Specialty: Coupon Inventory
Birthplace: Bird-In-Hand, PA

Downside got his start in anti-aircraft services while interning for the Ringling Brothers Circus in 1984. While cleaning the clown cages, he started fantasizing about being a bomber pilot in the civil war. Downside's dreams were crushed when, later that day, he received a letter telling him that no sane man would ever let a diabetic work on a bomber plane. His psych reports indicate that he folds like wet asparagus and cannot see very well, but does not believe in eye care. Forgoing these facts he should make an excellent member of the team.


HELICOPTER ASSAULT TROOPER
Code Name: Velveeta

File Name: Glog, Terry S.

Primary Military Specialty: Airborne Infantryman
Secondary Military Specialty: Segway Gunner
Birthplace: Pigeye, AL

Known throughout his home state as the last surviving member of The Chasetown Chainsaw Jumpers, Velveeta gained national notoriety when attempting to fist-fight Pat Sajak on the second season of Celebrity CSI. After an embarrassing exit from the reality show circuit, Velveeta created a fraudulent Monster.com profile and was soon picked up by the Team Loophole team.


Their Mission

Team Loophole will be dispatched January 18th under the cover of overcast. They will infiltrate the headquarters of the organisation GOG. There they will use various methods of subterfuge and intrigue to acquire the package.

The success of this mission will determine the freedom of every man, woman and child for the next ten-thousand years.

The fact that I gave up spending money on games as my New Years resolution and now need to win them has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Name: Maladiq
Occupation: Rebel

My team:
Razor: best hacker in the world
Madeye: Sniper
Text: Law graduate/philosopher

I would carry the greatest of burdens: get a job and rise into one of the most powerful corporations on earth, while Text leads the small company of GOG, which at that moment would be only a subsidiary of the great corporation. While I gather information, Razor would be able to come up with a most comprehensive infrastructure design of the whole internet, and I will be sure to finance him into getting one of the best teams and infiltrate all the 17.000.000 servers the corporations own.

As the proper moment comes, Madeye and his team would coordinate their actions and assasinate the 10.000 most influential men in all the companies, while Razor merges all the databases into a single one, the GOG data-base. I would remain the most influential person on earth for a brief period of time, while all companies start braking down, making corporate over-take easy.

Soon, there will be only one planetary corporation, which will be broken into millions of companies, in all domains, except one: GOG will have monopoly over everything which means software and digital art: movies, music, etc. Under the proper guidance of Text, the company would delete all personal data they have on every single inhabitant of Earth, while employing a no-DRM policy and several other policies concerning digital rights. The economy will blossom, creativity will reach new heights and the rights of every individual will be better guarded then ever. No artist will have 10 personal jets and 20 mansions, no CEO will have them, but the society will be better and "RESPECT!" will be its motto.

Good Old Games! shall the people shout in the streets. They are our salvation!

I can never forget the night we burned Chrome. I had chosen my best, read that as upgraded with the latest hardware they build in Chiba black clinics, agents for this mission. Satellite uplink was clear, there was minimal solar flare activity and my vision of operation area is clear.

Ambrose Norris, the big man with a level three armor on his front and back. The guy got shot in the head in one of his previous stints I couldn't fit him for a L3 CPU upgrade, but hey... when you carry a big huge minigun (yeah the irony...) nobody can argue with you, right?

Jason Willis, his backup. Where Ambrose provides brawn, this guy provides wit. By wit I mean he uses a Persuadetron. Cover yourselves with enough civilians and/or arm them and let your run be hidden in a "civil disturbance" clause. Whenever I feel like doing a shadow operation I use him.

Bruce Statham had served as a sniper in the 53rd Airborne Crusaders (A-MEN!). So when going up close and dirty does not cut it or someone needs a tailgunner let this guy do his magic with his enhanced eyes and itchy trigger fingers. Oh and no matter what upgrades I put him to, he never changes his SVD, Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova he says. Hell as long as I tell him to shoot and he complies he can call it Vera for all I care.

Chuck Bierce is the last but not the least of my team. He was a drone runner in his meatdays. Used to juryrig drones and cars and wreaked havoc with them while he hacked into a bank and emptied its coffers to his coffer. Well, until he unloaded the WRONG coffer. I personally traced him, meet with him and provided an offer he couldn't refuse. Sometimes, some nights you hear suspicious bombings and explosions or burning buildings... ha, this means he was there and we were there. Lock up your doors and windows if you care about your meaningless drone continuum you jokingly call as "life".

With these four guys, yes with just them, I misdirect the local authorities, do my gig and get out cleanly and silently... or messily and with a big boom - if that's required. I prefer silent approach though, less carnage means less money to repair and cover your tracks... remember if they do not know your modus operandi, they can't defend against you, right?

So if you think we are in your town... the odds are we are not. If your overlord had changed faces in one single night... oh well... now you probably are working for me.

Team Oz the Magnificent, over and out...

Hi GOG, please find my entry to your contest in attachment below.

The team will be comprised of 4 Germans, for obvious reasons.
All 4 have been heavily modified with implants and thus can utilize the ability to inject combat stimulants enhancing agression, accuracity and disabling their brains short term memory and morale centers.
The minigun is the weapon of choice for all 4 of them

Team Name: The Spanish Inquisition!

Team members: The Grand Inquisitor Torquemada and his cardinals, Cardinal Ximénez, Cardinal Biggles and Cardinal Fang.

Their mission: a crusade for delivering DRM-free Good Old Games to the whole world!

Their method of operation is obvious: besides the fact that ("you can't Torquemada anything") from their leader (so they will always continue their mission), they have a secret weapon: the fact that nobody expects them!
