This is the Discussion Post for the PARANOIA in PZO Sector.
First tidbit: transferred from the recruiting board
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.
Information will also be available on my Profile...at Clearance:RED
Current line-up:

Naming convention.
NAME-R-LTR-#
Name is the personal moniker of this clone
R is for your clearance, if you got promoted it would be an O.
LTR is for the sector your character comes from.
Examples from previous games.
Boris-R-LOF-3
Rosas-R-RED-1
Pamela-B-JBO-5
#=clone number you're currently on.
As we're not playing a ZAP game, try to avoid exceptionally silly names like DOOO-O-OOM, POO-R-USS,
Illegal names, improperly formatted names... 1-TRU-GOD is not a proper PARANOIA name.
If you don't mind multiple aliases, you can make specific aliases based upon your clone number, and possibly your Mandatory Bonus Duty.
Example, I have Team Leader Boris-R-LOF-1, Team Leader Boris-R-LOF-2, and Happiness Officer Boris-R-LOF-3 as aliases...
If you don't want to clutter your aliases, then just make a single alias like Boris-R-LOF without a clone number.
Current line-up:

Davi the Eccentric
I will get started on characters tonight...it might be a couple days...
I put up a post on the other thread, but I'd love to participate as a player (as opposed to GM).
And I'm just posting to get a dot.
I will be offline starting Thursday afternoon til Tuesday morning, just so you know. And also I wanted the dot too.
Yessir PhD, you are in. (btw I plagiarized your introduction in the game thread ;)
OK Xyro, I can work you in at any time...the other troubleshooters might be on their 2nd or 3rd clones by then... ;)
Some more info I'm lifting from the last Paranoia game, this should look familiar to you PhD.
About your clearance
The Computer has promoted you from your
previous INFRARED Clearance to your new
and exciting RED Clearance. Your new
security clearance sigifies The Computer’s
benevolent trust in you. The Computer is your
friend.
The Computer’s system of
security clearances follows the colors of the
electromagnetic spectrum: RED, your current
clearance, followed in ascending order by
ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO,
and VIOLET. INFRARED is below RED, and
ULTRAVIOLET (the clearance of the illustrious
High Programmers) is above VIOLET. The
higher a citizen’s clearance, the more deeply
The Computer trusts that citizen.
All citizens are required to wear clothing of
the same color as their security clearance.
As an INFRARED you wore black. With your
new RED Clearance The Computer has
thoughtfully provided a new red jumpsuit and
boots. Wear them at all times. Failure to comply
is treason.
(EXCEPTION: You may temporarily
remove all or part of your clothing for hygienic
purposes such as showering. Good hygiene is
essential to good citizenship. Poor hygiene is
insubordination.)
The Computer determines each citizen’s
clearance with complete impartiality. Higher
clearance means greater responsibility; it also
brings benefits. The computer cares for the needs
of all citizens, of course, but it rewards
most greatly those who sacrice the most for
the sake of society and their fellow beings.
Citizens of higher clearance are not
necessarily more knowledgeable or capable
than you. They have advanced solely because
they selflessly served the greater good and
earned The Computer’s trust. Admire, respect
and defer to higher-clearance citizens. Failure
to defer at all times is insubordination and may
be treason.
If you serve The Computer well, you will
earn its greater trust and thereby advance in
security clearance.
Aspire to advance! Seek to serve Alpha
Complex in ever greater ways! Failure to aspire
may be considered insubordination.
To ensure that only citizens of the requisite
competence and trustworthiness have access
to restricted areas, The Computer has divided
Alpha Complex into colored areas. Citizens
may only enter areas of their clearance or
lower. You must stay within black (INFRARED)
and RED areas at all times. Failure to do so
is treason.
Remember, The Computer is your friend!

Descriptions of mutant powers and secret societies will follow tomorrow.
For now, copy that character info into your profiles.
Remember looking at other people's spoilers will be grounds for termination ZAP style.
Just a note: I'll be away until Monday, too. See you then!
|
Oh wonderful and benevolent GM, I humbly and graciously request a spot in this upcoming laugh-fest we call Paranoia game. I previously read a similar game starring Boris-R-LOF, Horton, and crew - and found it hysterical! It would be like a consuming a handful of happiness pills for me to be allowed by your fairness to participate! If so - direct me to the appropriate affiliated threads.
Thank you.
thanks for the character. I'll get a profile for him sometime today or tomorrow.
You vant more Happy-Happy Pills? Here take these 3 red pills...
Yes Robert, you're on the team...
I will generate a character for you tonight.
Looks good, GM. The name always seems to be the hardest part of a character. I'll have my character up soon.
I obsess over names. It's a really bad habit. Hopefully I'll get lucky this time, and not take ages to think of one.
Naming convention.
LTR is for the sector your character comes from.
Is the sector PZO, something else specific, or is it anything I come up with?
Alpha Complex Teachbot:
Continuing education course (Clearance RED):
Acceptable Behavior!
The following behaviors are acceptable (non-treasonous) anywhere in Alpha Complex:
Understanding of this chart and the Treason, Insubordination and Meritorious Conduct charts and their contents. (Drummed into every INFRARED from decanting onward.)
Knowledge of the current Year of The Computer (214) and general awareness the Computer hasn’t always been here; knowledge that a corrupt, destructive Old Reckoning culture existed before the rise
of our friend The Computer. (However, curiosity about that benighted time is very impolite.)
Mere knowledge of the existence of specific secret societies, mutant powers, the Outdoors or Outdoor plant and animal life. (None of this is polite conversation, but it’s not treasonous.)
Mere knowledge of various kinds of real food and drink; expressions of
envy and the general living conditions of higher-clearance citizens. (Portrayed daily on glamorous vidshows.)
Expressions of ambition; desire to rise in clearance, get rich, live in luxury, etc. (The Computer encourages aspiration to greater service, though blatant greed is impolite.)
Casual joking or warnings about service firms, service groups, or higher clearance citizens in general, as opposed to specific individuals or agencies. (Impolite and likely to draw suspicion, but
not technically insubordinate.)
Unauthorized vandalism or destruction of property of equal or lower clearance, in line of duty. Asking questions directly relevant to
a mission or duty (these questions are grudgingly condoned).
Asking whether a particular hypothetical question would be considered directly relevant to a mission or duty.
The teachbot continues saying that you may access these files anytime via PDC access to Teachbot
Insubordination
This is a set of guidelines, not an exhaustive list. Lots of other things are treason and insubordination, too.
Asking a question irrelevant to a mission or duty.
Asking whether a particular hypothetical question unrelated to a mission or duty would be considered insubordinate or treasonous.
Asking whether a particular hypothetical question, if it were hypothetically directly related to a mission or duty, would be considered insubordinate or treasonous (nobody likes a smartass).
Being out of uniform or sloppy.
Being unhappy.
Bringing bad news.
Curiosity about or postulation of supposed virtues of Old Reckoning
times.
Curiosity in general, undue.
Evading Internal Security or Computer surveillance.
Excessive impoliteness.
Failing a hygiene inspection.
Jokes, insolence, or disregard for the importance of a mission or duty.
Jokes, insolence, or disrespect for a specific higher-clearance citizen.
Jokes, complaints, or warnings about a specific service firm or group.
Questioning the ability or judgment of a higher-clearance citizen.
Questioning the ability or judgment of The Computer.
Turning off one’s PDC (communicator) during a mission.
Unauthorized vandalism or destruction of property of equal or lower clearance, not in line of duty.
Treasonous Behavior!!!
Accusations of treason
-Being accused of treason.
-Falsely accusing a citizen of treason.
Conduct and bearing
-Arguing with the Gamemaster.
-Assaulting a citizen.
-Being present in a location of higher security clearance.
-Damaging, destroying, or losing assigned equipment.
-Demonstrating knowledge of the PARANOIA rules above your own clearance.
-Failure to defer to a citizen of higher security clearance.
-Framing a citizen of lower clearance for a crime.
-Lying to the GM.
-Possessing a treasonous skill.
-Possessing unauthorized food, information, or equipment.
-Refusal to take a prescribed drug.
-Theft of equipment, possessions or files, including filesharing.
-Threatening the physical or financial safety of another citizen.
-Unauthorized destruction of higher clearance property.
Missions
-Disobeying an order.
-Failure to complete a mission or service service, or failure to file a proper report of the completion.
-Refusing the assignment of a service service.
-Refusing to accept a mission.
Mutation
-Banned mutation registration.
-Suspicion or proof of mutation possession.
Secret society membership
-Confessing to, suspicion of, or proof of secret society membership.
-Knowledge of Communist doctrine.
-Being a Communist.
Terminations
Terminating a citizen without sufficient evidence.
Is the sector PZO, something else specific, or is it anything I come up with?Naming convention.
LTR is for the sector your character comes from.
The sector is pretty much anything you can come up with, within acceptable reason...PZO sector is what I'm naming this Paranoia game since This is the Paizo boards...if it were on Mongoose's boards I'd prolly name it MGP
so have at it.
Liam-R-PZO-1, reporting for duty! *Smile*
don't have to have PZO in your name, unless you want it there...
Yes, it appears some traitor hacked the photo and changed the color from black to green...and your Black hair to ULTRAVIOLET!
Sending a Vulture Squad to your quarters to assist Internal Security in finding evidence of this hack!
Liam-R-PZO is quick to hide his contraband, as 2 squads of Vulture goons and a full Battallion of Internal Security is sent to investigate the Ultraviolet hair depicted in Liam's Avatar photo, red black and green arms wave comically as the room is literally stuffed with personnel.
Meritorious Conduct!
This is close to an exhaustive list. It includes entries an Alpha Complex citizen would not actually see; we leave identification of these lines as an exercise for the reader. A given act may qualify for more than one reward. The GM will probably use the lowest. Nyaah.
Acts deserving rewards
Being extremely happy.
Completing a mission.
Completing it successfully.
Completing a service service and filing a report.
Doing a favor spontaneously for a higher-clearance citizen.
Doing a favor for a secret society friendly to your own.
Risking your life to serve or rescue a higher-clearance citizen, to save Alpha Complex or to serve The Computer.
Terminating a traitor with sufficient evidence.
Turning a traitor over to Internal Security.
Unctuous flattery.
Completing a service service and filing a report.
Three cheers to the great and benevolent Computer that never errs! It is the greatest honor to be able to perform a service service in Its behalf. To suggest otherwise would be treason!
The teachbot gets so close to Abel that Abel's breath is fogging up its optical sensors
"A Service Service is a service for your Service...so effectively a Service Service is a Service Mission."
unfortunately the teachbot did not adjust its auditory output for proximity and now Abel can barely hear
Please think of appropriate tics for your character to have...if you can't think of any...I will assign them... A tic is a strange mannerism for those who don't know...such as always referring to oneself in the 3rd person, or grooming at inappropriate times, or rephrasing everything in the form of a question?
Submit them to GM@PZOsector using a propoer SP.01.LER form...
There is must debate as to what the title of GM actually stands for in Alpha Complex, many think the GM is a member of a Secret Society and it stands for Grand Master or Great Master...others think he's the Manager of the sector and the Title stands for General Manager...All we really know is he's an Ultraviolet Citizen who's word is law...No one argues with the GM...under penalty of treason...
IR Market
Now that you’ve been promoted to RED Clearance and joined the ranks of the Troubleshooters, just think what you can buy! You share an assigned apartment with just five or six other citizens, instead of crashing in a generic INFRARED barracks rife with smells and loud with snoring. You can afford literally all the Cold Fun you could ever want (and we know how much that is, don’t we?), plus Bouncy Bubble Beverage more than a few times a month. Now you can venture down into the sewers and Stairwells — down where the IntSec patrols are paid never to go and the cameras are ordered never to work—down to the local Free Enterprise IR Market. Down here you can buy all kinds of lucky charms, heisted high-clearance goods and ointment guaranteed to make you invisible to lie detectors. No, really, it’s guaranteed! Would I lie to you? What else can you buy? How much is it? At what clearance is it (legally) available? Here’s a small sample, but really, you can get anything you want. A-ny-thing. Remember, nothing has a warranty, the legality of the purchase is your own problem, all payment must be in hardcurrency plasticreds and trust me, I’m not making a half-credit on the whole deal.

Happily reporting for duty *chuckle* on such a glorious day to be serving under the benevolent guidance of the computer! *exuberant laughter*
GM's EYES ONLY:
first tic: nervous laughter (in reality, mocking/condescending laughter directed towards all around me, especially fellow troubleshooters.)
second tic: tends to stare at people for an uncomfortably long amount of time, (secretly hoping to catch an opportunity to use my x-ray vision to find evidence of treason.)
Three cheers to the great and benevolent Computer that never errs! It is the greatest honor to be able to perform a service service in Its behalf. To suggest otherwise would be treason!
Completing a service service and filing a report.
Abel-R-CHR only
When faced with such despicable foes
as Commies, mutants and traitors, clearly,
mere general hatred of Alpha Complex’s
enemies falls far short. These threats to the
complex’s perfect society must be despised
in an organized, well-structured and highly
concentrated fashion. Charged with these
efforts are the Public Hating Coordinators,
making Commie Hating, Mutant Loathing and
Traitor Resentment more efficient and highly
convenient for the common citizen.
It is these Coordinators who organize Secret
Society Detestation Evenings. They write
and distribute pamphlets like 100 Reasons
Communism is Unhygienic, and send all
Alpha Complex citizens short messages
reading ‘Tomorrow at 0200 hours precisely,
please be sure to hate the Commie mutant
traitors who leaked green radioactive material
into our B3 supplies. Please respond with a
full description of your hatred towards these
individuals; include names and clone numbers.
Thank you.’
If a particular sector becomes abnormally
complacent in their utter detestation towards
their assigned enemies (as measured by the
yearly Compliancy rating), the Public Hating
Coordinators go full out, covering the area
with informative posters, Dislike Intensification
Rallies and if necessary, actual Commie mutant
traitors for citizens to hate directly.
Remember: If we stop hating them for even
an instant, the Communists will have already
won.
EDIT: Abel-R-CHR ONLY:
Secret Society: FCCP
Beliefs:
The Computer is my Friend, I shall not want.
Though I walk through the sector of the shadow of treason,
I will fear no Commies, for The Computer is with me,
and Its monitors and IntSec Troopers comfort me.
Serve The Computer, for those who serve The Computer well here in Alpha Complex will surely be Rebooted in the Eternal Mainframe;
those who do not will surely be downloaded to the Peripherals of Damnation. The AntiComputer and its servants, the Commies, are everywhere. Be constantly on guard against their perfidious attacks against the Most Holy Database and destroy them and any who offer
them shelter and comfort. Work toward the day when Mankind is Debugged, for then all will be Upgraded and Write Protected.
A congregation usually contains 10-100 lay members, a few disciples and one Elder. Elders know those in their congregation, a few other Elders and one Reverend Programmer. Above this level, each member knows all subordinates directly assigned to him, a few members of equal rank, and a single higher ranking member.
Congregations meet on an irregular basis in the barracks of the Infrared. Requests for information or equipment are received there and
directives and missions are disseminated. Because The Computer is somewhat tolerant of this society, internal communications are
fairly relaxed and informal. At lower levels, citizens often know others in their congregation; INFRARED members might openly wear
FCCC-P badges. FCCC-P observes dozens upon dozens of rituals. Imagine Orthodox Judaism with a bit of Aleister Crowley and some Jehovah’s
Witnesses layered on top. What you wear, the way you say things, only Cold Fun on Threeday... all kinds of things. After work shift, FCCC-P member are expected to gather for Mass in a properly requisitioned meeting hall and listen to a preacher extol the glories of The
Computer and the FCCC-P. FCCC-P members must also confess regularly, to their society superiors and even to The Computer itself. Given the society’s large size, if you don’t report your sins, you can be pretty sure somebody else has already.
Friends: Pro Tech.
Enemies: Communists, Humanists, Death Leopard, Sierra Club.
Recognition signal: An FCCC-Per identifies
himself by touching four points on his chest,
one after the other, with each point being the
corner of an imagined square.
The Computer’s Prayer
‘Our Founder, who art Perfection, Binary be thy name.
Thy Complex fun, thy will be done
In truth, as it is in theory.
Give us each daycycle our daily Fun Foods,
And forgive us our Insubordination
As we forgive those who are Insubordinate to us.
And allow us not to get away with Treason,
But deliver us from traitors.
For Thine is the Complex, and its Hygiene,
and its Proper Procedures forevercycle.
End Program.’

** spoiler omitted **
Excellent, thank you Chuckles!
Chuckles ONLY:
The Computer places equal worth on all
property—no item is too insignificant to be
considered a valued resource, so citizens
should take care of everything. That extends
to uniforms—and CPU has handed down,
from generation to generation, the only certain
means to achieve this in a pressured and active
working environment. Wherever Communism
strikes to disrupt directed inscription fluid
delivery device integrity—the official CPU
Pocket Protector is there.
The Pocket Protector Refurbishers ensure all
issued Pocket Protectors are fitted correctly,
adequately maintained and effectively utilized.
The task is grueling, dependent on constantly
improving technology to provide maximum
protection, a key range of monitoring and
impact assessment skills and a keen eye to
maximizing advertising profits. Refurbishers
ensure the latest advertising patches are
adhered to all protectors in use and that Use By
dates are observed to ensure optimum pocket
security. To enhance profits PPRs also remain
vigilant for opportunities to expand the range of
pocket protectors to cover any situations where
leaks and stains may occur from direct contact
between assigned equipment and an unwary citizen's clothing.
Hey, it's my pleasure! *laugh* Happy to do it!

Oh glorious and fair-minded GM - would it please your sensibilities of fairness for me to select a character name after I have been provided clearance to see the intrinsic nuances about said character - thus finding some semblance of congruency between character make-up and name?
In the process that you are "assigning" character aspects - is gender something I retain control over? or has this too been pre-designed by you in the cloning tank?
I have a few names in mind - I just want to line it up better with the character I've been provided - and after knowing what gender he/she/it is (if it is indeed predetermined).
Thus those aspects will then help me narrow down on the tic(s) I have in store.....
I do so look forward to seeing the character of which i will most assuredly selflessly use to amuse, compliment and thoroughly entertain you oh benevolent GM.
Thank you.

Yes, please name your characters based upon what you are comfortable with...gender is up to you...
Bootlicking in the Discussion thread is not likely to gain you additional perversity points...thought it may gain you additional enemies....

You don't look too happy, citizen. Perhaps a visit to a pharmacologist may assist in your mandatory minimal happiness level....or not.
To GM:
Thank you for words of wisdom oh benevolent one. and thank you for the fair chance to select my own name and gender.
I will look forward to seeing my character in print.
