Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue Subject: probably Olan's fault
The private thing was added recently so he's probably still working on the bugs. Wouldn't hurt to shoot him a PM about it, might be an easy fix.

Topic: a holiday gift Subject: aye
Considering the distance between Grugg and Eol is about 2 full days of driving, it's still a testament to government efficiency that it took the better part of 6 weeks.
And yea the idea was floated to ask some others to join in, but we felt bad asking for cash (felt bad enough asking the staff...) and also felt bad because we would pretty much have to restrict it to Americans and Canadians, since we have people from literally all over the world, and only had a few months to pull it off and it was tight enough with just one trans-Atlantic flight. So please don't feel left out. I'm sure big Al will come up with a global solution for next year

Shouldn't you celebrate by *not* killing us all? Or by killing Grugg?
Good luck on the finals.

The entire rules section of the book is optional, so it's more of an excuse to get together than an actual game.

Topic: a holiday gift Subject: Al
It was Big Al's idea, and Almerin deserves the credit for designing and drawing the card itself. Brom too for collecting the money. The rest of us just make a few trips to the post office and waived a pen.
And the final total was four countries, two provinces and 6 states including Bama.
There was one foul-up when it crossed the Canadian-US border back in July/August that had the card lost for almost a month, despite the tracking number. Luckily it finally made it stateside.
Glad you liked it Olan!

Topic: Paranoia Q&A Subject: fresh meat and game facts
We have, tentatively, a new player joining the ranks in the near future.
Try not to shoot him too quickly
Depending on what happens, split up or stay together or go in small groups, will determine both how Falas integrates if at all and what is to become of the rogue hacker gboy.
Now some game statistics:
A vital piece of information has been revealed to one player.
Also, believe it or not every single one of you has officially made contact with your secret society. Some of you even have secret missions from both Friend Computer and your secret societies. Some of you don't yet know what that mission is.
One of you has been assigned to kill someone. Correction: Two of you. Wouldn't it be ironic if they turned out to be the same person!!! Wouldn't it be even better if that person was a member of the troubleshooting party!
I'm not that cruel.
Two of you have already been chewed out by superiors. Both of you were spared execution.
Two of you are carrying secret packages. Only one of you knows it.
And no, it's not who you think it is. Quite the opposite.
One of you is carrying enough firepower to kill the entire party in a matter of seconds. Ok, two of you are - but only one knows it.
Not everyone knows what their mutation is. Not everyone is a mutant.
I love this game!

Topic: Inheritance -- the game Subject: And so the epic tale begins...
Waterdeep was indeed an amazing city. Anyone one wanted he could get... except that which really matters. At it's heart Waterdeep was a city of excess, a city of greed, and a city of moral bankruptcy. Aheltha'ethyr Kenyrkor'dlues strolled the city streets taking in the sights. It had been nearly a decade since he had been to Waterdeep, and it was hardly the same city. All the magic that coursed through this land was nearly unbearable to him. He had slain many, many Drow mages, and forever associated the dark elves with the dark art. Aheltha'ethyr Kenyrkor'dlues, or Ether as his non-elven brethren called him, was a knight in the order of Vengeance - a cleric of Shevarash. His guild name meant "Tears of the Eternal Vigil, Sworn to the Black Bow," in elvish. A part of an elite strike force sworn never to smile or laugh until Lolth and her children have been erased from Faerun.
The meeting was a bit of a flashback to Ether. Though he disliked the notion of removing his bow and quiver from his back, Ether sat uneasily, making sure never to let his bow leave his immediate reach. He had no idea even of the man that he had helped, for he remains far and wide and active in a number of operations. Being one of the younger members, and one of more martially minded in his order, he is often dispatched with the paladins to do various works to further their goals. While he couldn't remember the details, he did remember the event of which the magistrate spoke. The Lords of Waterdeep seemed characteristically eager to take the money and ease the estate in question into their personal vaults.
If there was ever an event that made Ether want to break his oath never to laugh, it would be the bumblings of humans and non-elves trying to pronounce the forest folk's names. While elvish names were difficult enough, the wood elven dialect was particularly tricky. Add in the divine nature and invocations that were used in bestowing Ether with his guild name, and the poor sap never had a chance. He would sit in amusement as they tried to pronouce his name. His holy symbol - that of a broken arrow fixated to his buckler, seemed to match the amused but stoic expression on his face.
This Maranda Grey was only a few days shy of being robbed by the greed of the Lords of this city. But his mind was already decided. Shevarash called all his followers never to ignore the ever cried request. Avenge me! The will ended with it. It was now perfectly clear why he was summoned. The Mourning Lord Shevarash (not to be confused with the Morning Lord Lathander) had a hand in guiding one of his own to the manor. This wasn't a matter of inheritance and heirs... this was a matter of revenge. A matter of loss. A matter of which his patron had dominion.
As soon as their host had left the room, Ether arose and addressed the table in common, although the hint of forest accent makes a few words hard to understand. He walked over and took the will, underlining the last few words with his finger as he spoke. Ether was a short fellow, although all elves were. He wore basic adventuring gear, and with his buckler with the broken arrow attached to it, his sheathed longsword and of course the signature bow he looked no different from a common ranger. With a trio of throwing sticks hanging at his belt, and a quarterstaff lying near his removed quiver, he appeared nothing more than a monk. Nothing on him suggested the role of cleric - and that was the way Shevarash preferred his acolytes to look, so that the wicked would not see their demise coming in the form of divine invocations.
"My friends, there can be no doubt that I will be venturing to Shallagh Gann's keep and seek to bring divine justice on those who have murdered him. As a ward of the Patron god of vengeance, my purpose here is to guide and forward the retribution. Though I may have known him only peripherally, Shallagh Gann has made a personal request of me, and one that I cannot ignore. May the oath I swore on this..." He raises his pitch-black bow to eye level - it is nearly as tall as he is - and bows his head, "May the oath I swore on this, the divine might of Shevarash, continue to be fulfilled with the extermination of those who killed Master Gann."
He was going to the mansion, with or without anyone else.

Topic: Feeding The Undead Subject: Makin some Peace...
And now all his training would finally be put to use. Tiaan had visions of leaping up onto his car and performing a flying kick into the head of the "zombie" just like he did in The Karate Master goes to New York. Or he would swoosh into his car NASCAR style and tear out, running the diseased thing over and causing a mass of guts and infection to spread out over the parking lot.
But this was the real thing. His training amounted to nothing against a virus that could kill someone so horribly.
At least he had near-super human reflexes...
T whisked his Colt Peacemaker from his back pocket and unloaded a few into the rotting corpse, making sure to keep a few paces between himself and the thing.

Topic: Paranoia Subject: Man down!
*bing bong* the chime sounded as the doors began to close. Julianna stands panting on the lift as the seats fill up and everyone goes to work on their PDAs. You can't help but feel a bit uneasy - this is first time you've been on public transportation without any Infrareds. Odd to know that everyone else was as smart (and medication-free) as you.
At this time you all think how profitable it would be if only you could build a mind-reading device.
All except two that is. One is nowhere to be found after darting off some time ago, apparently to hunt some cyber-commies. Simon on the other hand... was definitely interested in a pair of Orange pants.
The last thing in Simon's vision was the blast of an autolaser coming from the crack between closing doors...
Paging Simon-R-GRUG-2. Your assistance has become needed. Prepare for Clone 2 orientation.
The bus moves forward, making a few stops here and there as various others get on and off in a hurry, sometimes violently bumping into you. You each exchange a few glances as the intercom announces your arrival at subsector 21.
Unfortunately, you now have to figure out where to go. Fortunately due to Friend Computer's everlasting genius, the layout of subsectors doesn't really change that much.
Now, if you were a Lennon loving, Marxist Commie Traitor, which thankfully you're not, where would you hide?
