..When the guards are done with them, they are still alive, but that is about the best you can say for them.
"Ennnnnnnnn."
<Johnny's boots sing cheerily while he lays in the fetal position.>
YUM! munch munch munch
"Ooooo HI! do me a favor and chop down those scary trees!!!"
The note says the following.
TROUBLESHOOTER R-TPK-4
PLEASE REPORT FOR DEBRIEFING,
ROOM 55, THQ, HED SECTOR. DO NOT
BE LATE. THIS DEBRIEFING WILL BE
INTERESTING AND EDUCATIONAL.
YOUR FRIEND, THE COMPUTER
Rolf
"mmmmmm" Rosas moans as she chews on air...
<Johnny spits out some blood and mops at the clotting wounds on his face.>
"Well?"
"ugh....my head..." Xarra is starting to come down?
posting to get the thread in action again...
After having delivered the note, the blue vulture goons and the UV citizen stomp off, leaving the rest of the troubleshooters to get themselves back together.
Anything you want to do before you head to debriefing?
"Well, you read the note, people. Now, *Dramatic Finger-Point* ON TO ROOM 55!"
GM:
Here Benedict and Johnny you look like you could use these"
I hand each of you a little black pill
HED sector is pretty close by, but not so close that you can easily walk. You can call for a shuttle bot using your PDC without a problem. Well there is one problem- you have a small army of bots in tow- jackbot, scrubbot, trackerbot, guardbot and docbot.
Rosas
your PDC suddenly give a little beep indicating that you have a message. You quickly discover that the message is in fact a new fun game T3T.1 (the game has an infrared security rating, and your antiviral software has not detected any kind of computer virus in its code).
"Hell yeah!" says Rosas. pulling out her PDF and starts playing with the buttons
Rosas
You find that the game is a highly fun sort of puzzle type game (vaguely like Tetris). Unfortunately it is highly addictive. As you start playing you are immediately engrossed, and your PDC starts making little beeping sounds and playing video game music.
"This is fun!"
Everyone notices that Rosas seems to be engrossed with some sort of video game on her PDC. She has a big s#*$ eating grin on her face, and look she's just generously forwarded everyone a copy. Care to check it out? She seems to like it.
DM
I'll look at my PDC and check out the game.
I was going to let Benedict and Johnny know the effects once they posted or declared they had taken them, but they haven't posted for a while. In fact, I'm not really sure who is still in this game. So if you are planning on continuing playing let me know.
"Haven't even gotten my laser barrel yet..." better keep playing...
"Oh my this game is sooooo FUN!!!"
"Team Leader didja try it yet?"
Paranoia doesn't work too well with only 3 players, so unless we get a couple of more or our others players get back in the game, I'm inclined to drop it.

<Johnny appears to eat the pill.>
"I feel great, Rolf. Just frickin' fantastic!"
Yossa manages to flag down a hovertransbot and he hops into the "drivers" seat. Everyone else clambers in. Rosas continues to play her game. The only problem is the guard bot, jack bot and tracker bot (there's not room for them). Doc and Zippy can fit.
"Have Benedict wait for a bigger bus...you'd like that right Benny?"
Bene would love that and he can stay with the big bots. The rest of you hop on the transbot.
*fights to be the first in the Transbot...*
Whispers quite loudly: "I know how much Benedict hates bots..."
"Sorry Rosas, I don't have time to listen. I only have time to drive!", says Yossa as the transbot screeches out of its spot.
GM:
"Drive?"
"What are you talking about Yossas?"[spoiler]hits record on PDC[/i] "This is a transbot...it drives, unless you're planning on illegally reprogramming it..."
Has been playing the new PDC game this whole time, suddenly shouts "WHAT THE HELL!!!!! this game sucks! it cheats!! How the HELL! am I supposed to win if it keeps doing that!!!" and then I throw my PDC at Rosas head. "Thanks alot for this crappy game Rosas" I quickly go over and get my PDC checking it for any damage mumbling about "stupid commies and their stupid games
Begins to cry after getting beaned in the head, making her lose the level she was on!!
Sorry Guys, I think I'm KOed on this PbP. Thanks for the laughs and the good rping. I apologize for not having the motivation to keep it going any longer.
Cheers
Understandable PHD...it was a blast!!!
Hard to keep a game going for 1700 posts, you did a great job...

As the transbot begins it's movement, I bash Yossas over the head with my Multicorder, then I go after the transbot itself...

Now that your game is over - I won't feel guilty about threadjacking.
First - I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these - never played Paranoia before, but have heard many good stories from those who have. I have many of the XP books and reading these has inspired me to start up my own PBP game that Ive been playing for the past two weeks. Thanks all for the laughs! I've gotten a lot of good ideas from reading these.
ROLF - I saw you mentioned you were in Manteca. Is this Manteca, CA? Do you live near there? I live near the bay area of CA, and just wondering how close you are to me. Ive been trying to find table top gamers (Pathfinder RPG and now Paranoia).

As the transbot begins it's movement, I bash Yossas over the head with my Multicorder, then I go after the transbot itself...
Yossa slumps down over the steering wheel. "You.. traitor."
Suddenly, the cabin is filled with the smell of roasting flesh as Rosas spontaneously combusts. Yossa leans back and slips on a pair of pointed, showy orange sunglasses, all the while keeping the bot accelerating towards the nearest large object. His final thoughts? "Forgive me Trenchy, I will always love you."
I quickly down a pink pill (hallucinogen), a yellow pill (picker upper), and a pyroxidine 2 (Wider Awake) tablet (another picker upper).
I then pull out 5 (obviously illegal) cans of Dr. Bot and chug them (major picker uppers!!!)!
I let out a feirce war cry and pull out my Blue force sword (think starwars) and start slashing wildly at anything that is moving screaming quotes from ‘Buff-Y the Vamp-YRE Slayer’ Old Reckoning vid and ‘Return of the Jed-I’ Old Reckoning vid.
once I get off the transbot I take down this entire wing of the complex due to my overly hyper state and inability to tell what pain is
The trench coat is really sweet. You could probably even take it off some sweet jumps.
I like this ending. Good stuff. Perversity points for everyone.
"Strike me down and I shall become mo....." Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." and with that Rosas-R-Red-2 falls into two pieces...
"ouch"

No no.......you need to get going.....I am losing out on my weekly read of something truly wonderfully hilarious!!! I've looked forward to reading all of your ridiculous no-win scenario struggles. What am I going to do now? I cannot find any other Paranoia play by post archives to read......I need a happiness pill.
(Plus it's done wonders for helping me figure out just how to play and run the game as a GM myself. Thank you all for the entertainment while it lasted. Hopefully I'll find another one to read somewhere - so far no luck.)
ROFL..
Sorry about that guys, just after my last post I did a little drinking and discovered that my sinuses are hypersensitive to both coffee AND alcohol too.
I'm feeling normal again. Have crawled out from under most of the backup workload.
The thread is awesome.
Again, my apologies.

Man, I had a blast. The first pbp I signed up for at Paizo was Panaoia nad it crashed before it even started. You were great.
