Choose your own adventure: Paranoia

The robotic voice of Friend Computer echos throughout the hall...

Pleasant day! Welcome to Alpha Complex Subsector GYKZ. This is where stage one of Troubleshooter orientation will take place. Please take your seats as I take role...

This is something new to me. Inspired by Almerins blog post and CAD's space archeologist arcs, I am going to try a choose your own adventure story. The inn as a whole will vote on aspects of the story as it progresses, and the winning result will further the story. For instance the choice could be to choose the door or the vent shaft, with certain death waiting in one option... I've chosen Paranoia as the setting because it's fun and lends itself well to the style. I will host discussion here. Please feel free to discuss but vote by sending me a PM so the actual vote is blind.

I will post background information later when I'm not thumbing away on an iPhone, but we can start with something - our hero!

We need a couple things: a mutation and a job. Please vote via PM! No choice is better than any other.

Do you want:
1. A powerful mutation
2. A medium mutation
3. A nearly useless mutation
4. A detrimental mutation

Do you want:
1. A "challenging" job
2. A "menial" job
3. Something in between

hopefully I get a large response so the vote reflects the will of the Inn accurately!

I'm doing SCIENCE!

ok

First two votes are in, and ironically for the same things. Vote people! I'm working three 12-hour shifts in a row so I'll thumb out what I can on the iphone but standby for details

sounds fun

I can't say I am even remotely familiar with the setting, but I loved reading the CYOA books growing up, I would read and re-read just to see where the different choices would take me. I'll definitely be lurking and voting on this when I notice updates taking place.

Woohoo

Just got a flood of votes in... One clear favorite in mutations, but the jobs are almost a dead heat. Only 3-4 more days to vote. To those of you in my last game, yes it's the same info from the last one. Different plot tho

Well

Medium mutation is winning handedly, so I'm closing that vote so I can start planning. Another day or so to vote on jobs. It's very close.
