No experience necessary since knowledge of the actual rules is treason.
I will provide character templates. You provide the name
Peeking at Spoilers will result in IMMEDIATE clone execution...I figured out that people were peeking in the last game as a player, as "The Computer" I will consider that a V1V treasonous act.
I'm planning on running it in Classic mode. If there's enough interest in a ZAP game, I might run a quick ZAP game as well...

I love Paranoia(in theory, I've tried to talk my group into it a few times and they never showed much interest) and would certainly enjoy a game, though as you mentioned, I'm not particularly experienced in it since its been a few years since I looked through the book. Saved from treason by a poor memory!
Playing online is actually a pretty good way to do Paranoia I think, allowing for notes and the like to be done quietly. This could be lots of fun if there is enough interest for it to take off.

Oh it's a blast, PhD ran a nice long game, the spoilers definitely add a geat depth to the game.
I have 1 or 2 more people ready to join, I can run lots of people for a PbP Paranoia game, so 6-8 players is fine...and as I said...no knowledge of the actual rules is required...
Where are my troubleshooters? The complex is being over run by communists!!! I need my trouble shooters in PZO sector. There's an emergency!
Open call to INFRAREDS to step up for a dangerous mission, you might die in service to the computer, this would make me happy...Death in service to the computer would make you happy. Happiness is mandatory, step forward my INFRAREDS, step forward and be promoted to a RED troubleshooter.
I'd be interested in playing. I haven't played in 15 (?) years, but I'm sure that if I do my best our game will end in TPK: Truly Patriotic Kinship.
Excellent, more troubleshooters for PZO sector.
We have some Rampant Paizo Bots that need to be taken down.
I am in though I have never played or even heard of Paranoia (the game that is I suffer from the affliction).
great Xyro, please check out the link above that I posted, it will give you an idea of what you'll be facing...
In a nutshell; PARANOIA is a dystopic reality, where you play one of the computers elite troubleshooters, troubleshooters are usually those who have performed some loyal activity, such as turning in a fellow INFRARED for some treasonous activity.
The Alpha Complex is typically a sealed environment.
The computer runs the complex with the help of it's citizens.
INFRAREDS form the majority of the citizens of Alpha Complex. (They wear blacks and grey colors.)
The colored clearances ROY G BIV
RED-Yellow are the low-end of those trusted by the computer
Green are the middlemen, and the Vulture Squads.
Blue-Violet are upper level citizens.
Ultraviolets are the High Programmers, they are above reproach, the most trusted of the computers citizens.
Note:
Mutations are treasonous!! You are a Mutant!
Secret Societies are treasonous. You belong to a Secret Society.
Happiness is mandatory! Are you happy citizen?
EDIT!: Note, unlike some games, this game is NOT about cooperation, this game is more about survival and back-stabbing...everyone IS out to get you in this game, so you have to either get them first, or collect evidence and blackmail them, get them before THEY get YOU!
Also, it's only a game, enjoy it, never get mad at the other players for their survival attempts.
I'm new to Paranoia and to the Paizo boards and am interested in joining this game. Although I am familiar with the general concept of Paranoia, I've never had the opportunity to play it yet.
Excellent, we now have 4. I will create a discussion thread when we get a 5th.
Nice name two...
MORE PLAYERS!!! I would love to have 6 minimum, but 8 would work for this as well...More Players=More Chaos.
More background info...unlike the game PhD ran, we will be using full Perversity points, you start with 25 as a player, they belong to the player...not the character, so if you run out of clones, your next character will also have access to those same Perveristy points...
What can perversity points do?
Well they can either improve YOUR rolls, decrease your opponent's rolls, or you can even spend them to increase or reduce your fellow trouble shooters rolls.
How do I get MORE perversity points?
Make me laugh...pretty simple.
More info will be posted tonight.
Don't make me send more Vulture Squad Goons to do some recruiting...I know there must be more players interested...
So I heard someone needs *dramatic pause* a Troubleshooter?
In other words, I'm interested.
Welcome to the team Davi...
What's your experience with Paranoia?
Welcome to the team Davi...
What's your experience with Paranoia?
Uh, remember that Paranoia pbp you linked to/played in? Just go look at the person who played Bob. And Yossa.
So do I get a spot as a player?
Ah, that's right Davi...I was at work so I didn't look up who was who...
( I was already doing more than I should...LoL)
Yessir PhD, I was hoping you might jump in!
For those who posted as wanting to play and HAVEN'T been to the Discussion board...it's time for a Public shaming...
"SHAME SHAME"
"SHAME SHAME"
"SHAME SHAME"
Anyone else?
*BUMP* looking to replace hogarth, not that hogarth is really replaceable... =(
I'd like to keep my 7-8 troubleshooters...I have 6 I want MORE!!!
