(Please note that some flavor material is blatantly stolen from Paranoia XP, published by Mongoose Games. If you haven’t had the opportunity to play this wonderful roleplaying game, I hope you find the opportunity to do so.)


Greetings troubleshooters, and welcome to Sector 44:69:65:21! This is Friend Computer! Be honored, Troubleshooter, that you have been selected for this most honorable mission! Each of you should have received a mission briefing notice which looks like this:
Townie Role PM wrote:Greetings, Troubleshooter! You are XXXXX-X-XXXXX-1, and your friend The Computer has chosen you for a very important mission! You were carefully selected for this mission based on your record, experience, overall flammability, and the rhyming potential of your name. Internal Security has detected the presence of Traitors who seek the downfall of Alpha Complex and Friend Computer. They are clearly identified by ***CARRIER INTERRUPT PLEASE WAIT** and terminate them upon discovery. Proceed to transtube <insert link to game thread here>, confirm receipt of this message in thread and read the mission briefing. Failure to read the briefing carries a minimum penalty of a single demerit, to a maximum penalty of summary execution.

Please remember that your clearance level is XXXXXXXXXXXXX, which carries all the rights and restrictions appertaining thereunto.

Stay alert! Keep your laser handy! Trust no one!
You have also received a win condition which should read as such:
Townie win condition wrote:You win if and only if all immediate threats to the Computer have been eliminated.
Failure to have received such a win condition is treasonous, and as such if you have not received this win condition, please terminate yourself immediately. Beware, Troubleshooters! Internal Security has detected amongst your presence traitors who seek the downfall of The Computer! You are authorized to terminate any and all such threats with extreme prejudice! Here are some indications that one of you may be a traitor to Friend Computer:

• Confessing to, suspicion of, or proof of secret society membership
• Being accused of treason
• Falsely accusing a citizen of treason
• Disagreeing with The Computer
• Suspicion or proof of possessing a mutation
• Failing a hygiene inspection
• Strong desires to overthrow the government
• Refusing service of an assignment
• Being unhappy

Each of the above are treasonous, and should be acted upon as such by all diligent citizens.

Also, please pay attention to the articles at the following links, carefully selected for your clearance level and briefing necessity:


Warning! Failure to read the article at this link is punishable by summary execution!
Secret Society & Game Info – for cursory knowledge only – admiration of secret societies is treasonous!
Another helpful link for understanding the world of Paranoia

For those unfamiliar with the world of Paranoia, these links should help.

Excellent news, citizen! The Computer has established rules which are proven to root out Commie Mutant Traitors with only acceptable levels of Troubleshooter death. They are reprinted below. Quake in your boots, traitors!


- Votes must be in
bold
, preferably in the format of
Vote: Person
. Traitors have been known to be 63.17000000001% more likely not to bold votes.

- Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but Friend Computer asks it of you, Citizen. Would you decline the request of The Computer?

- Lynchings will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded, as the offender will be whisked away to the nearest Confession & Termination Booth. You may
vote: no lynch
– majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.

- The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread, before or during the game, unless your role specifically states that you may do so.

- Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead.
Stop typing.


- Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts. It will only give you away as possessing the treasonous skill of Computer Hacking.

- Don’t quote or paraphrase any PMs from moderators. You should be able to pretend in thread that moderators are not a part of this game outside of this thread, other than necessary nightchoice responses, if any.

- If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. Moderators will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice, tough! No choice will be made.

- If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
Treat this game as a commitment.
Moderators will try and be fairly active with prods. Be considerate – don’t leave your fellow citizens hanging!

- At any deadline, a simple plurality will successfully lynch a player, using the longest-held-last-vote method to break ties.

- Modeators will try to prod people, but may miss some people. If you haven't posted in a 72-hour period, you may receive a prod. It means you're missed, and we want you playing! Participation is mandatory!

- However, if twice people request you to be prodded, and for sufficient reason, The Computer may see fit to replace you without prior warning. Well, you actually
do
have prior warning...right now. ;)

-
This game will begin in Day.


- Remember, it’s a game. Happiness is mandatory.

More excellent news, troubleshooters! Before your mission begins, everyone gets to receive
Mandatory Bonus Duties
!

Four troubleshooters are needed for the all-important duty of Happiness Officer. Please determine among yourselves who will assume this noble and rewarding task.
You may find your answer to the following question may help you determine if you are fit for the position:
Do you think Commies are happy? If not, then why are they willing to endure termination rather than stop being Commies?

Congratulations,
Cogito Ergo Sum
,
Sarcastro
,
Barromán
, and
Mojo
! Friend Computer has determined that you have met the rigorous qualifications of
Happiness Officer
, and have been delegated as such! Unhappy traitors, fear them!

Happiness officers, it is your duty to check for signs of Sub-Standard Morale, keep morale high, and make sure the other Troubleshooters have lots of fun. Feel free to try out your best jokes when the time is right!


Three troubleshooters are needed for the all-important duty of Hygiene Officer. Please determine among yourselves who will assume this effective and nonflammable task.

You may find your answer to the following question may help you determine if you are fit for the position:
Would you pursue a Commie into a filthy, debris strewn corridor even though it might damage your jumpsuit? If yes, why would you intentionally endanger The Computer’s valuable property? If no, why would you deliberately allow a Commie to escape?

Congratulations,
PlaysWithSquirrels
,
stark
, and
DiamondHawk
! Friend Computer has determined that you have met the numerous qualifications of
Hygiene Officer
, and have been delegated as such! Unclean commies, fear them!

Hygiene officers, it is your duty to maintain an acceptable Team Hygiene Level. Be sure to polish the game thread from time to time as necessary, and be sure to report all instances of filthy talk to Friend Computer for appropriate punishment. (Appropriate punishment ranges from a stern warning to summary execution.) Dirty hands can prevent the proper lynching of traitors, causing troubleshooter missions to fail! Uphold the sanctity of your position with all due rigor!


Four troubleshooters are needed for the all-important duty of Communications and Recording Officer. Please determine among yourselves who will assume this critical and exogenous task.

You may find your answer to the following question may help you determine if you are fit for the position:
Is The Computer everywhere? If no, please list all places The Computer is not. If yes, why is a Communications and Recording officer necessary?

One more Troubleshooter is required for the task of Communications and Recording Officer. Please determine whom of the remaining candidates would best fulfill this Bonus Duty.

Congratulations,
dahen
,
Maz Medias
,
M4yhem
, and
Coron
! Friend Computer has determined that you have met the numbered qualifications of
Communications and Recording Officer
, and have been delegated as such! Unregistered mutants, be recorded by them!

Communications & Recording Officers, it is your duty to ensure that all votes are properly tabulated and correct. Furthermore, it is
your
duty to request votecounts as necessary. Failure to do so may result in traitors votes being unnoticed, or worse, may give communists the impression that we are not a free, democratic society, giving aid to their treasonous movement! You must stand up for The Computer’s democracy at all times!



That leaves
StevieT92
as having been carefully selected through a rigorous screening process as the
Team Leader
.

Team Leader, it will be your task to ensure proper participation by all troubleshooters. You may request prods on troubleshooters who have fallen derelict on their duty to root out enemies to the Computer, and the Computer will use its most excellent wisdom to determine the appropriate correction for the troubleshooter in question.


Now that the roles have been properly assigned, the mission can commence.

Daycycle 1 begins. With 12 surviving, it will take 7 to lynch a suspected traitor.

For quality control purposes, The Computer will begin an oxygen deprivation cycle in approximately 907200 seconds from this notification. This will result in a premature end to the daycycle, but rest assured, loyal citizens, that it is very likely that there will be enough oxygen to go around to allow for most higher brain function.

M4yhem has been replaced by a reasonably similar facsimile, Sefer, effective immediately.

Diamondhawk has not picked up his message from his standard-issue PDCs, and a replacement will be sought for him.

Friend Computer apologizes for the excess days beyond deadline the thread has gone. One of its High Programmers responsible for necessary in-thread troubleshooter assistance was on state-sanctioned leave, but has now returned. Now, in view of the completed deadline...


Final Daycycle 2 Vote Count

Sarcastro
- 2 (PlaysWithSquirrels, The Central Scrutinizer)
The Central Scrutinizer
- 2 (Sarcastro, remussaidow)
Coron
- 1 (Cogito Ergo Sum)
Cogito Ergo Sum
- 1 (Battle Mage)
No Lynch
- 1 (stark)
stark
- 1 (Peter Venkman)

Not Voting
- 2 (dahen, Coron)

According to the deadline rules, a plurality is sufficient, using longest-held- last-vote as a tie-breaker. This qualifies Happiness Officer Sarcastro for execution. However, it appears that the appropriate mechanisms for brainscrubbing and summary execution were insufficient or inoperable, as Sarcastro remains surviving.

Nightcycle 2 commences immediately. Please do not communicate with any other Troubleshooter unless expressly authorized to do so. Daycycle 3 will commence after Nightcycle 2 concludes, which will be at minimum the duration provided for under the handout by Production, Logistics and Commissary's ever-informative guide, under subsection 3(af-3), "Why Citizens Should Not Be Afraid of the Dark - There Are Absolutely No Grues To Be Afraid Of, None Whatsoever, We Promise!", and after dahen's replacement is found. Thanks for your service to Friend Computer, Citizens of Alpha Complex!

Daycycle 4 Begins!
Friend Computer is pleased to report that the 14.285714285714285714285714285714% troubleshooter death during Nightcycle 3 is well within acceptable guidelines. Perhaps this news is not as well received by
remussaidow
, who now fits the definition of "outlier", statistically speaking.


remussaidow has been killed.


With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

stark has been killed.
Perhaps Friend Computer can honor his memory by adding little detail.

With 5 alive, it takes 50.0000000001%+ to lynch.

Congratulations, Troubleshooters! I am pleased to announce that victory conditions have been met, and the mission is complete! It is only a minor inconvenience that
Communists and enemies of the computer
are the ones who have achieved their victory condition.

The Fonz has been killed.
The Central Scrutinizer has been endgamed.


Communists and enemies of the Computer have won!

Wow. What a game. I will post role PMs and notes tonight. I'm interested to hear what your thoughts on the game were - what you think worked, what didn't work, etc. I'll be happy to answer any and all questions.

The Fonz wrote:That confuses me. If both killa and CD were scum, why did they not win when flay was lynched? That puts it at 2-2, there should have been no need to go to night. But it can't be the case that only one is, since then there'd be two town alive and the game would still be going?
I took a careful look at the scum PM, and it said they win when Communists
outnumber
the town, or nothing can prevent the same. However, when they nightkilled, TCS could theoretically redirect it to someone else (or back upon the sender), so if he'd picked the right person who sent the kill and who was being killed, mafia might have killed themself. Had I worded their win condition better, I would have done the 50% rule. (There are a couple of things I'd do differently next time, but I want to hear your thoughts.)

The roles were designed largely to be potentially vaguely useful (with one or two quite useful roles). One person revived if lynched and nightkilled (theoretically possible, if you voted to lynch him after he'd been killed). One person got everyone's roles on N5 (not N4!), which I never thought would happen. TCS was a redirector that had to correctly predict the targetter
and
the targettee to have any effect. One player had two lives. One player was informed if he was ever successfully targetted (though all but one successful targetting roles would kill him), but potentially useful in outing a fake claim. Mr. Flay was a naive investigator who could discover mutations. One role (Peter Venkman) didn't have
any
power, ability or secret society whatsoever. The true power role in the town could kill a person by choosing them
and
naming their secret society correctly (and he wisely chose "Communist" for the SS each time he had the chance). Mafia's roles weren't much better - one would polymorph into a bunny every night (did nothing), one could investigate a person to determine whether they were happy or not (living players were happy, dead players were not happy), and one could "die" for a fixed amount of time, only to come back again later (potentially useful to surprise the town if they would otherwise be at LYLO). The SK (Sefer) could nightkill once in the game, but could vote as often as he liked, though everyone would be warned a mutant power was used. (There were safeguards to keep him from simply turbo-voting at the beginning of every day to win the game like that, but otherwise would be quite a surprise at the endgame.)

I did throw a lot of useless information out there (the secret societies, the Troubleshooter jobs, etc.) which was designed to be extraneous, and potentially useful to the scum to distract the town. Unfortunately, the scum just lurked the whole frickin' game. I don't know if that was a result of the setup, result of players, or what, but I'd love feedback.

I'll get everyone's choices up tonight as well when I'm at the PC that has them all.

Note that Secret Societies are almost entirely unnecessary (except for the Communist tie). Here are the role PMs.


Player 1 Role PM – M4yhem

Mod Notes: SK with weak abilities (only one nightkill?), but powerful endgame, needing only to survive until there, where he essentially auto-wins.
Greetings, Troubleshooter! You are M4-U-HEM-1, and your friend The Computer has chosen you for a very important mission! You were carefully selected for this mission based on your record, experience, overall flammability, and the rhyming potential of your name. Internal Security has detected the presence of Traitors who seek the downfall of Alpha Complex and Friend Computer. They are clearly identified by ***CARRIER INTERRUPT PLEASE WAIT** and terminate them upon discovery. Proceed to transtube <insert link to game thread here>, confirm receipt of this message in thread and read the mission briefing. Failure to read the briefing carries a minimum penalty of a single demerit, to a maximum penalty of summary execution.

Please remember that your clearance level is Ultraviolet, which carries all the rights and restrictions appertaining thereunto.

Little does The Computer know that you are actually a mutant! Your mutation is
Machine Empathy
.
Warning! Warning! This mutant power is REALLY treasonous!
There is no chance you'd
ever
be allowed to survive if ever it was known you had this power! That's why...The Computer must die. Unfortunately, all those nitwits are trying to get in good with The Computer will get in your way, so they have to die, too. Once in the game, during a Nightcycle, you may select a player to eliminate. You will attempt to vaporize that player during that Nightcycle.

You can also use your mutant power to manipulate your limitations on votes on any day. You may vote as often as you like. Be careful, though, as The Computer is ever watchful for your power, and it may alert others to its use.

You win if and only if you are the last player alive, or nothing can prevent the same.


Stay alert! Keep your laser handy! Trust no one!


Player 2 Role PM - Coron

Mod Notes: Ability would discover "happy" if used on a living player, and "unhappy" if used on a dead player. I included some useless roles like this to hint at the flavor of townie roles to the scum, and so claiming a worthless role doesn't make them auto-town.
Greetings, Troubleshooter! You are COR-I-N-1, and your friend The Computer has chosen you for a very important mission! You were carefully selected for this mission based on your record, experience, overall flammability, and the rhyming potential of your name. Internal Security has detected the presence of Traitors who seek the downfall of Alpha Complex and Friend Computer. They are clearly identified by ***CARRIER INTERRUPT PLEASE WAIT** and terminate them upon discovery. Proceed to transtube <insert link to game thread here>, confirm receipt of this message in thread and read the mission briefing. Failure to read the briefing carries a minimum penalty of a single demerit, to a maximum penalty of summary execution.

Please remember that your clearance level is
Indigo
, which carries all the rights and restrictions appertaining thereunto.

Little does The Computer know that you are one of the members of the
Communist
sercet society trying to bring down The Computer! You and your fellow members
StevieT92
and
DiamondHawk
seek the downfall of The Computer, and to do so, must eliminate the other namby-pamby suck-up Troubleshooters who would defend The Computer for their own personal gain. Each Nightcycle, you and your fellow Communist members may comunicate with each other via PM, and collectively select one of your members to vaporize another Troubleshooter in the game, eliminating them.
You may also communicate via PM for the entirety of Daycycle 1. No PM comunication is allowed on later Daycycles.


Fortunately for you, you are also a
mutant
, with the power of
Empathy
. Each Nightcycle, you may select another Troubleshooter in the game, living or dead. You will discover if that player is Happy or Unhappy.

You win if and only if there are more Communists in the game than non-Communists, or nothing can prevent the same.


Stay alert! Keep your laser handy! Trust no one!


Player 3 Role PM – StevieT92

Mod Notes: Potentially useful in an endgame situation, and timed well, though it's difficult to predict it.
Greetings, Troubleshooter! You are STEV-O-T9-2, and your friend The Computer has chosen you for a very important mission! You were carefully selected for this mission based on your record, experience, overall flammability, and the rhyming potential of your name. Internal Security has detected the presence of Traitors who seek the downfall of Alpha Complex and Friend Computer. They are clearly identified by ***CARRIER INTERRUPT PLEASE WAIT** and terminate them upon discovery. Proceed to transtube <insert link to game thread here>, confirm receipt of this message in thread and read the mission briefing. Failure to read the briefing carries a minimum penalty of a single demerit, to a maximum penalty of summary execution.

Please remember that your clearance level is
Orange
, which carries all the rights and restrictions appertaining thereunto.

Little does The Computer know that you are one of the members of the
Communist
sercet society trying to bring down The Computer! You and your fellow members
Coron
and
DiamondHawk
seek the downfall of The Computer, and to do so, must eliminate the other namby-pamby suck-up Troubleshooters who would defend The Computer for their own personal gain. Each Nightcycle, you and your fellow Communist members may comunicate with each other via PM, and collectively select one of your members to vaporize another Troubleshooter in the game, eliminating them.
You may also communicate via PM for the entirety of Daycycle 1. No PM comunication is allowed on later Daycycles.


Fortunately for you, you are also a
mutant
, with the power of
Death Simulation
. At night, you may elect to simulate death for a finite length of time. Select the day on which you would like to revive. You will appear as dead until that time. If you are killed on the same night you elect to use this ability, you will feign death instead.

You win if and only if there are more Communists in the game than non-Communists, or nothing can prevent the same.


Stay alert! Keep your laser handy! Trust no one!


Player 4 Role PM - DiamondHawk

Mod Notes: Ability does nothing functionally.
Greetings, Troubleshooter! You are DIAMOND-R-AWK-1, and your friend The Computer has chosen you for a very important mission! You were carefully selected for this mission based on your record, experience, overall flammability, and the rhyming potential of your name. Internal Security has detected the presence of Traitors who seek the downfall of Alpha Complex and Friend Computer.

Proceed to transtube <insert link to game thread here>, confirm receipt of this message in thread and read the mission briefing. Failure to read the briefing carries a minimum penalty of a single demerit, to a maximum penalty of summary execution.

Please remember that your clearance level is

, which carries all the rights and restrictions appertaining thereunto.

Little does The Computer know that you are one of the members of the
Communist
sercet society trying to bring down The Computer! You and your fellow members
Coron
and
StevieT92
seek the downfall of The Computer, and to do so, must eliminate the other namby-pamby suck-up Troubleshooters who would defend The Computer for their own personal gain. Each Nightcycle, you and your fellow Communist members may comunicate with each other via PM, and collectively select one of your members to vaporize another Troubleshooter in the game, eliminating them.
You may also communicate via PM for the entirety of Daycycle 1. No PM comunication is allowed on later Daycycles.


Fortunately for you, you are also a
mutant
, with the power of
Polymorphism
. Each night, you will polymorph into a bunny.

You win if and only if there are more Communists in the game than non-Communists, or nothing can prevent the same.

Player 12 Role PM – Maz Medias
