Dweebs hems and haws, then mumbles something about helping. When the group sticks their heads under the table, he wisely does not follow suit... but he does irritatingly remain at your table, and appears to be eavesdropping without trying to look like he is doing so.
Once your heads are under the table, the whisper continues.
Congratulations on your promotions, troubleshooters. It is I, your friend, The Computer. I hope that you are all happy.
You will soon be even happier! I have a fun mission for you. It is perfectly safe, and really easy, especially for a team of seasoned professionals such as yourselves. The only thing is, its a secret. I mean, REALLY a secret. No one is even to know that we are talking right now, got it?
I will now assign each of you your role on the team. These roles were determined using an advanced statistical model taking into account your skills, temperments, and qualifications. These roles are as follows:
Team Leader: Artie-R-FCL.
Loyalty Officer: Ammpe-R-AGE.
Hygiene Officer: Slipp-R-YEE.
Morale Officer: Brighte-R-NNU.
Communications Officer: Blowz-R-UPP.
Equipment Control Officer: Steam-R-LLR.
You will of course perform these duties to the best of your abilities. While on duty, you wi...
The voice trails off in a distracted manner, then starts again.
Clone Artie-R-FCL, where is your communications officer? Why is he not present at this briefing? This is highly inefficient, which leads to chaos, disorder, and general unhappiness!

Comings and goings != notifying the GM.
Also, it gives me an excuse to fry a clone.

Subject: D&D 5e
So, Wizards of the Coast annonced that they are working on the next generation of D&D. I'm assuming that they won't call it 5e, but that's what it will be.
I'll be interested to see if they continue down the path of the pen and paper version of the MMORPG, which is what 4e has always felt like to me.
Of course, I'm a D&D fossil... what do I know?

I just wanted to clarify the situation is all. I think your presuming didn't quite take you as far as the assuming has been known to do.
As in, when you ASSume, you make an ass out of you and me..."

Not even the first round of posting and I already have an issue. Riaucard has gone dark on me. My messages have been read, but not responded to.
I'm inclined to fry one clone, then grab a replacement player.

Topic: strange question
Subject: huh?
I think that Alacrity answered pretty clearly for himself. He asked if the interview had to be live or if it could be done via email.
Takley isn't trying to start a religious debate, which we frown on here at the Inn. He's asking for research help in an assignment for a class. Totally different thing.
I have no problem whatsoever with this topic; it does not violate the TOS in any way.
If it takes a turn where we start to argue religion, my stance will change. I don't see that happening.

I'd like to see Max and Ted live along with Murph... be a nice core of the group.
But if it ends horribly, it ends horribly.
Also: Dangit! I wasn't going to get excited yet. I was going to get Paranoia stable before I started thining about ZiC. Grrrr....

Tiamat,
If the group managed to get you inside, you'll live. If you want the bounty hunter to continue, he can. If not, I can write him out.
Celeste, send me a character concept. Bsckground, etc, why he/she is in Chicago at the outbreak.

Topic: Zombies in Chicago Q&A
Subject: like a zombie, this game will return from the dead...
Just a heads up - Zombies in Chicago will, in fact, be returning in the near future.
I plan to close chapter one with a "silver screen" moment - in other words, I'll essentially write a narrative to close out the current situation.
We will then bump the clock forward a bit, and those characters who survived and/or have players who wish to continue, will be introduced in the updated scenario.
I loved this game, and placed it up there with the most fun I have ever run. I really appreciate all of the creativity that went into the original incarnation.
At this point, I know that Eol Fefalas, Grugg, and Tiamat5774 are all wholeheartedly in. I understand that PrincessAli is interested, but would like to pick up with a new character.
Zombie_shakespeare has regrettably declined to continue.
I do not know how Merideth or malek04 feel about it.
This means that I will have at least one, and potentially three to four, openings.
The new game will have a new thread and a new Q&A area... just wanted to make an "official" announcement.

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting Q&A
Subject: lasers
Nobody asked me about laser pistols, or why most of you have two laser barrels that match your security clearance. I suppose that it's because you all know Paranoia very well, and don't need to ask.
Just in case, however, you should know that laser pistol barrels act very much like an ammo supply. Each barrel is good for six presumably safe shots (assuming you have no amusing malfunctions). Barrels have six rings on them, each of which change color to indicate a use (in case your troubleshooter has trouble with simple memory tasks).
You may fire more than six shots with a given barrel, but note that every shot above six results in an ever-increasing chance of weapon malfunction.
Barrels coincide to the security clearance given to an ownr (you guys have red barrels). Reflec armor protects against lasers, and is designed to protect againt lasers of up to that color's security clearance (Yellow armor, for instance, protects against yellow, orange, and red lasers, but not green or blue).
You may use any barrel you come across, but of course doing so of a higher color than you have clearance is treason.
Have a nice day.

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting Q&A
Subject: cool!
Duly noted, Admiral. Not sure if Slipp will agree, though...
I have PMed our slow posting half to remind them to get going.
Going forward, here is the deal: I expect you to post at least once (if not twice) per week. More will be appreciated, but not required.
If you have any questions, I will never penalize you for asking them. If you are unsure about something, I will help as much as I can.
If you can't post, let me know. I may be inclined to overlook your slackerness if you have good reason (or at least the good manners to warn me of your absence).
If you go an entire week without posting or letting me know why, I will take one of two actions.
1. I will assume minimal actions on your part (you keep walking with the group, you mindlessly follow instructions).
2. I will assume that your character does nothing whatsoever. If you are in a firefight, you'll just stand there... too bad if you get shot. If you are in a negotiation, you will rudely ignore everyone... too bad if they take offense. If you are running for your life, you'll stop moving... too bad if you get run over/squashed/eaten.
Expect option two to be the one I use more often, since it amuses me to do so. I also reserve the right to use one more option in the event that you really slack off in your posting:
3. I will have your character take foolish risks, say stupid things, or follow insane actions - for the sole purpose of killing you in a painful, amusing fashion.
You have been warned!
Remember again that Paranoid is not about careful calculation and playing it safe. Paranoia is about wild plans and over the top drama. Amusing the GM may be rewarded. Boring the GM will be punished.
Have a nice day.

All right, now. Only half of you have posted. Don't make me wait.
Waiting = a bored GM.
Bored Paranoia GM = GM who maims clones for amusement.
