PARANOIA in PZO Sector (Discussion)

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]

PhD has a great point, everybody, just let loose, this isn;t D&D, this is a crazy world where Paranoia rules...

[hogarth]

Actually, I think I'm going to be a flake and drop out. Sorry folks; have a great game!

[Xaaon of Xen'Drik]

D'oh! what's up hogarth?

Spoiler:

If you need to drop, you should do something spectacular that gets your line erased!!

Sorry about the late response. I got back from vacation to a serious overload at work. I think I should bow or out or stay on hold for a while to catch up. I won't have that much time to post the next few weeks and learning a new game is a bit overwhelming right now. Let me know what you want me to do and thanks for the chance to be in your game.

[Gavgoyle]

If you need another player, I am game! I can take over the stats of one of the dropped players or can take something new. I haven't played in a long while, but I ran a really fun couple of Paranoia sessions when one of my friends was home from Korea a couple of months ago.

I really want as many players as I can get...I'll come up with something to figure out why you're so late...and you don't learn the rules in Paranoia, learning the rules is treasonous...you just fly by the seat of your pants!

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]

Gavy, welcome to the game, you are now using Abel-R-CHR's character set-up, feel free to change the name. Create your profile and jump in.

[Davi The Eccentric]

P.H.:

Spoiler:

This is as good a place as any to ask this. What was supposed to happen in the first two missions you ran? I know we went off the rails when someone dropped a grenade in the first one, and I doubt the second was supposed to end in a combie* apocalypse, so what did you have planned? This is beginning to bug me, actually...

Xyro, how's the workload coming? I understand where you're at with that...

The team isn't rescuing you just yet, so feel free to take your time while play a bit. Let me know ASA you're available.

Yeah, I am now in training for the rest of the month with limited access to the internet. That combined with the release of the new rules (yeah), you should just drop me. I know you are looking for players still and I may hit you up when things really calm down, assuming you will still have me. Sorry again.

Spoiler:

I saw your post on the other thread and I wanted to answer you. I had about a week there where things had just gone completely nuts in a rather unpredictable way. I'm pretty sure I had given you a post where I explained why I was being a bit slow, but things had hit again after that and mostly cut me off completely.

When things finally quelled some I peeked back in, but the group seemed to have mostly moved on and advanced in what they were doing without me, so I figured that rather then trying to disrupt things I would stay back. Watching on, I think I've realized that the posting is going faster then I am going to be able to reliably keep up with and Paranoia is so focused on being player driven that I think its best if I bow out.

Again, sorry I didn't give you an official post like this earlier, it just had looked like you guys moved on without me already when I peeked back in.

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]

xyro, and tarlane, either of you is welcome if you have the time at a later date...

So far no one else has taken the bait for extra players...

[Dorgar]

Mr. Gm I have been reading your game thread and thoroughly enjoying it. I noticed it seems you have lost an equipment guy (dirty commies). I would very much like to join the mayhem. It has been quite some time since I have played Paranoia. I do not have the book. Of course books are treasonous, and the computer is my friend so why would I have any books. I will check back tomorrow to see if I possibly have been promoted from lowly inferred status.

[Dorgar]

Just giving this a bump so I might catch the gm's eye. The computer is my friend, and aids me in this endeavor so that I might better serve the computer.

[Dorgar]

Bumppity Bump bump :D

[Dorgar]

Waves at the GM one last time. I am checking once more to see if you are still looking for a few spare clones. I will check back later.

[Davi The Eccentric]

Alright, te GM has been poked over on the main thread, he should be over shortly.

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]

Dorgar! Welcome, you can take over TArlane's character...Rename him as you feel fit. This guy I will inject you into the game as fast as possible as well...hopefuly it won't hurt too badly...

Tarlane if you find the time to come back, I'll make a new one for you, I just dont have the time currently (2 jobs, + running/playing PbPs plus family)

Xyro, whenever you get back from training and can join us, let me know.

[WHOOPS-R-UOK]

Hello sir, reporting for duty. Sorry it took me so long to get rid of that other fellow er..... I mean those dirty commies really threw a wrench in the works, but never fear WHOOPS-R-UOK1 reporting for duty sir. A few things first though.

tic2 whoops is always worried about parasites and tends to itch a lot. especially when he is nervous, and then he starts worrying that someone might think him unhygienic which makes him more nervous which makes him itch more which.... ARGG! must scratch!!

READY!

Spoiler:

The computer is sending a replacement Equipment guy...you. In addition, since you're in Bot Prcessing, you're to investigate a malfunctioning B3 machine in the corridor to R&D Incendiary Testing Grounds Red Corridor after your service service in R&D

[WHOOPS-R-UOK]

for some reason the in game thread is not moving past the last post on page 7 for me I see that there have been more recent posts by the messageboards updater but when i click on it. it takes me to the bottom of page seven post 350 and that is it. anyone else having this problem?

[Deraldin]

Came across this thread a couple days ago and have been reading/laughing as I worked my way through both this and the previous game. You mentioned awhile ago that you were hoping to recruit more than the usual 6 players for the game. If that is still your wish I would be more than willing to step up and do my part to serve Alpha Complex as all loyal citizens should!

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]

Excellent Citizen! I will have a character ready for you in a today or tomorrow.

[GM of PZO Sector-Alpha Complex]
