ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Game Master COMPUTER MAINFRAME 227

The future... An underground bunker controlled by a despotic Cold War computer. Mutants and clones and secret societies.

THE LESS YOU KNOW, THE BETTER.

Alpha Complex is go. Happiness is Mandatory.

interesting

I'm in, what edition?

I'm on board!

I'm in, what edition?

XP, in the "classic" style.

Sounds good. Random rolls will be up as soon as I get home to my books after work.

Definitely in.

Woops, dawns on me you can't pm rolls. How you want to deal with this boss?

Would any of these sites be helpful?

I have no idea how to play, but consider me interested. I presume not knowing how to even begin playing is something of a turn-off, I presume?

The less you know about the game, the better. :) Computer does not like people knowing to much, it can be unhealthy.

Very much so. See new post below.

CHARACTER GENERATION:

Use this page to get the basics, most importantly Service Group, and Naming Conventions:

http://www.thekeep.org/~wombat/Paranoia/CharCreation.html

Use this page to create Character: http://paranoia.polyatomic.org/

NOTES:
Click "use a custom name".

Clearance is "RED".

Clone number is "1".

Play style is "Classic".

Do not click the "mutations" option.

Get assigned to a Service Group by using "random" on that drop-down. (You have just been given RED security clearance, so you are going from assembly line drone in the sub-factories to entry level duties in the Service Group assigned to you by the computer. This assignment is based on close observation of your skills, inclinations and interests. It is not random at all.)

Choose a Secret Society. THIS IS TREASON, BY THE WAY. DO NOT JOIN A SECRET SOCIETY.

Use the "die roll" option for stats.

THE ONLY INFORMATION YOU WILL WANT TO SHARE LOOKS LIKE THIS:

Name: DIP-R-STK-1
Gender: Male
Service group: HPD & Mind Control [Entertainment Scouting Agencies]
Description: Dip has close cropped hair and a small van d+!* goatee. He has stern features and always wears fingerless wool gloves.

(You are wearing a red jumpsuit, red sneakers, and carry a red messenger bag with your assigned {and unassigned} gear. Your Service Group Patch is on your left arm. Any variation from uniform is considered a punishable offense and HIGHLY DISCOURAGED, although you should list it in a brief description of yourself such as the one above.)

Woops, dawns on me you can't pm rolls. How you want to deal with this boss?

Any dice rolls that aren't public will be made by the computer.

You can trust the computer. What are you afraid of, citizen?

REPORT TO CUBICLE TR-TR 13 for Enhanced Interrogation!

Name: Katlin-R-None-1
Gender: Female
Service group: Production, Logistics & Commissary [Printing Office Field Checkers]
Description: Startlingly welcoming, she always seems to have a smile on her face. Which is rather creepy.

Name: Trap-R-JON-1
Gender: Male
Service Group: HPD & Mind Control (Singalong Agents)
Trap is filthy and reeks of alcohol. His hair and beard are disheveled.

Doc-R-LUV-1
Gender:Male
Service group: HPD & Mind Control [News Services]
Description: Doc is a hunky beefcake of a man, perfect specimen in every way. His constant stares make you feel as if he is always watching you, or maybe you are just paranoid.

Still openings available?

Name: Dudley-R-LEF-1
Gender: Male
Service group: Production, Logistics & Commissary [Inventory System Updaters]
Description: Dudley always looks startled like he was awoken suddenly. Maybe he was and is just trying to fake wakefulness. Often caught holding his inventory tablets upside down. Brown hair is usually messy and uniform tousled like it was donned hastily. Often seems to turn up unexpectedly.

lookin' great so far!

Name: Charles-R-CTR-1
Gender: Male
Service group: Central Processing Unit [Form Inventory Officers]
Description: Charles looks rather generic, of average height, average weight, and average build. He has brown hair and brown eyes, and a pair of glasses on his face. Additionally, he is always tapping his fingers on something.

If Everyone could send me a copy/paste of their character sheet (really, I just need stats, and secret society) we can get started...

Friend Computer! Friend Computer! I submitted my application to join this troubleshooting squad at the appropriate time, but a Commie Mutant Trator stole it before it reached your infallible CPU. Is there still room for a lowly but loyal troubleshooter?

This is what was pushed out

This is what was pushed out

Got it, thanks!

Friend Computer! Friend Computer! I submitted my application to join this troubleshooting squad at the appropriate time, but a Commie Mutant Trator stole it before it reached your infallible CPU. Is there still room for a lowly but loyal troubleshooter?

Of course, citizen, our troubleshooter team needs one more capable individual.

Your accusation that Internal Security allowed such a heinous breach in security is troubling, however. Submit to Interrogation Booth to get to the bottom of this!

Thank you, friend Computer for the opportunity to provide detailed information. I will submit my full information shortly.

Name Get-R-Dun-1
Gender Male
Service Group Technical Services: Clone Tanks
Description Pale and sallow even be Alpha Complex standards, Get’s fingers and jumpsuit is always stained by a fine red dust.

My sheet

Name: Reddy-R-NOT-1
Gender: Male
Service group: Internal Security [Surveillance Operatives]
Description: To all outward appearances, Reddy is the very definition of average. There is nothing remarkable about him, in any way, shape, or form. His natural ability to blend in to a crowd is probably why he was selected as a surveillance operative. Unfortunately, this also means he's immediately forgettable.

Friend Computer, I'll be sending the details directly to you momentarily.

I'm ready for some hot blooded lip smacking adventure.

I'm ready for some hot blooded lip smacking adventure.

Send me your character sheet info vis Private Message, and then meet us in "gameplay".

CLEARLY, someone left their dossier open, and visible.

You can choose to read that private dossier, which would be treason, or ignore it which the computer would prefer.

Ignore what, friend Computer?

UNATTENDED CENSORED INFORMATION DETECTED.

OFFENDERS AND ALL WHO ILLEGALLY VIEWED THIS INFORMATION WILL PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR NEXT-OF-CLONE AND REPORT TO YOUR NEAREST AVAILABLE TERMINATION STATION.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

Are you still taking clones?

Are you still taking clones?

Sure... why not?

Gender: Male
Service group: Research & Design [Scienctist Sanity Checkers]
Description: None has long silky black hair that is wound up into a man bun. He has soft and supple caramel colored skin. His chiseled features are broken with a lazy left eye. You never know where this guy is looking. All of his sentences start with a low gravelly voice that ends with him belting out the last word forcefully.

Hi any more clones needed.

Hi any more clones needed.

Sure. PM me the details, and meet everyone by the elevator, tout d'suite.
