Start of #PAranoia buffer: Wed Jan 25 21:06:08 2006 [17:11:18] * Now talking in #Paranoia [17:17:06] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Dreol into channel #Paranoia. [17:17:10] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Ardweden into channel #Paranoia. [17:17:13] * Dreol (RubedoKuka@pool-141-149-98-35.pghk.east.verizon.net) has joined #Paranoia [17:17:14] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Robingone into channel #Paranoia. [17:17:17] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Bucher into channel #Paranoia. [17:17:27] * Bucher (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [17:17:29] Ey [17:17:30] moo :) [17:17:54] * Bucher looks around nervously. 's my first game, wow ;) [17:18:12] x.x I've never played Paranoia before so I have no idea what I'm doing. [17:18:16] Heh. [17:18:21] Well, this isn't a regular Paranoia game anyways. [17:19:19] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Grysar into channel #Paranoia. [17:19:19] * Grysar (gsanders@116-049-stm.w-vpn.du.edu) has joined #Paranoia [17:19:22] Ey [17:19:31] Yo. [17:20:15] oi [17:21:16] -herring.sandwich.net:@#Paranoia- Demota invited Calculus into channel #Paranoia. [17:22:06] * Bucher hums under her breath ~/o Paranoia, paranoia / Everybody's comin' to get me / Just say you never met me o/~ [17:23:45] Okay, just to be sure. You have names and revenge plots picked out, right? [17:24:52] revenge plots...? [17:25:36] * Grysar gets on that. "Let's see, we're Indigo level. So are names are Something I-AAA with AAA being letters of choice? [17:25:37] http://demota.sandwich.net/RPG/Paranoia/Chart.txt [17:25:40] http://demota.sandwich.net/RPG/Paranoia/R&D.txt [17:25:48] Yeah. And Clearance, not level. [17:26:02] Going up in security clerance is not "going up a level". [17:26:02] Right. [17:26:14] Higher clerance citizens aren't necessarily more competent than lower clearance ones. [17:26:20] They've just got more authority. [17:26:50] Right. [17:26:59] * Bucher worries. I have the links above...how do we do a revenge plot? [17:27:00] * Xarias-I-DEA-1 (RubedoKuka@pool-141-149-98-35.pghk.east.verizon.net) has joined #paranoia [17:27:05] * Dreol (RubedoKuka@pool-141-149-98-35.pghk.east.verizon.net) has left #Paranoia [17:27:18] What do you mean? [17:27:35] How do you pick one out? [17:27:42] You just... decide. [17:28:00] Whichever one you like best. You can even make up an original one, and select one for it to "count the same as" [17:28:57] Ohh, under 'revenge method'? [17:29:02] Yeah. [17:29:18] Doh. Sorry. I can be a complete twit sometimes. [17:30:00] name... [17:30:30] Names in Paranoia are special. They're made up of four parts. Your name, your security clearance, your home sector, and your clone number. [17:30:33] * Ardweden (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #paranoia [17:30:43] *nod* [17:30:44] Home sector is a three-letter combination. Security clearance, in this game, is "I" [17:31:32] How many clones do we have? [17:31:46] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 (gsanders@116-049-stm.w-vpn.du.edu) has joined #Paranoia [17:31:48] 6. [17:31:53] coo [17:31:57] * Grysar (gsanders@116-049-stm.w-vpn.du.edu) has left #Paranoia [17:32:02] jus a sec ;) [17:32:20] Hahhahaaa. [17:32:22] Ikea. [17:32:46] Shit. How do I quit and then sign in with a different name? [17:32:55] errr, nm. Jus a sec [17:33:00] You can just change your nick with /nick Newnamehere. [17:33:07] Yah... [17:33:16] Some people start up a new server window for characters. [17:33:19] Or right click on the lightning bolt to open up a second nick. [17:33:33] Or type /server -m irc.sandwich.net [17:34:10] * Leto (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [17:34:42] * Leto is now known as Marion-I-XWN-6 [17:34:56] You start with clone 1. ^^; [17:35:00] DOH! [17:35:11] * Marion-I-XWN-6 is now known as Marion-I-XWN-1 [17:35:20] Whee. [17:35:24] how do I get this nick out now? :) [17:35:36] Shift-click on the channel name at the top [17:35:50] Or just close the window you're currently talking in [17:35:55] * Bucher (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has left #Paranoia [17:36:01] Doh, right [17:36:18] Oh, and please join #DIce. It's the OOC channel. [17:36:47] Ard, you too! [17:36:53] Wheee! [17:37:10] Oh, and Perversity Points. Does anyone need to hear what those are again? [17:37:29] I know about the bidding, I don't know about the non-bidding use. [17:37:38] * Demota nods. [17:37:44] I have no idea what they are [17:37:58] Vague understanding ; [17:37:59] :) [17:38:24] Well, you start with 25 perversity points. They're used in the bidding as described in the links, but they also have another main use. In fact, this is usually their only use in Paranoia games [17:39:27] They're spent to provide modifiers to rolls. [17:39:40] In a regular game, let's say you shoot someone. [17:39:52] You spend 2 perversity, and get to subtract two from the roll. [17:40:08] How do you earn them? o.o [17:40:37] By being entertaining. You can also get 10 more at character creation by selecting tics. [17:40:46] tics? [17:41:02] TIcs are obvious quirks of the character that seldom, if ever directly affect gameplay. You get five for each tic you select. [17:41:12] ah [17:41:26] Some examples would be "Must have an exact count of everything" or "Laughs maniacally when somebody mentions robots" [17:41:37] We just come up with them or is there a list? [17:41:43] You just come up with them. [17:41:47] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 nods. [17:41:52] If you play a tic in an entertaining way, you also get perversity points. [17:41:58] So... summed up. [17:42:04] If you're entertaining, you can influence rolls more. [17:42:09] Which means you're more likely to live. [17:42:13] Be entertaining, and you live. [17:42:21] Be unfun, and you're on your own. [17:42:43] I forget, is this Alpha complex all indoors? [17:42:46] Yeah [17:43:00] KNowledge of the Outdoors is restricted information. [17:43:06] * Ardweden goes to reboot and get food. At the same time! [17:43:09] Now... other things about Perversity POints. [17:43:11] Ard: MADNESS [17:43:20] Perversity points are the only modifiers in the game. [17:43:28] * Ardweden (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) Quit (Quit: It is madness!) [17:43:32] Somebody doesn't get a bonus to his die roll because he's in cover. [17:43:39] He's in cover because he's getting a bonus to his die roll. [17:43:51] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 nods. [17:44:01] It's kinda like how ulcers cause people to worry, not the other way around. [17:44:09] * Marion-I-XWN-1 sort of gets it... [17:44:23] While not required, it's encouraged that when you spend perversity, you come up with how that manifests in-game. [17:44:34] If you do it in a way that's fun, more perversity to you! [17:45:43] Ugh. I [17:45:52] ...I'm really going to need help with this [17:46:39] don't worry so am I x.o; [17:46:46] heh [17:47:05] What needs more explaining? [17:47:44] Well the system seems pretty easy it's just going to take some getting used to [17:47:47] Umm...it's more to do with my complete unfamiliarity with this kind of gaming and nervousness over the coming game [17:47:54] Heh. [17:48:18] Well, it's a hybrid between roleplaying and a board game. So it's not a "real" RPG, if that helps you feel better. [17:48:24] Sort of :) [17:48:37] And it's a silly sort of game anyway. Nobody's going to get on your case over making an unrealistic character [17:49:10] Aww, my character's probably going to be restrained ;) [17:50:11] Oh, and feel free to come up with a photogenic name for your laboratories, their reputations, that sort of thing [17:50:23] And tics, if you want more perversity points. [17:51:34] Okay! I have a tic I think ^^ Should I say it here or in msg [17:51:43] ditto! [17:51:49] Either way. Tics are meant to be obvious anyway. [17:52:09] * Marion-I-XWN-1 bows to Xarias. You first ;) [17:52:27] Okay! I was RFM inspired =P I think mine will be that he is obsessive over wearing his sunglasses like they're extremely important to him and if they break he snaps. [17:52:41] Can you sum that up in one short phrase? [17:52:56] Obsessively wears sunglasses? o.o [17:53:09] Sure. [17:53:13] K! [17:53:14] Take 5 more perversity points. [17:53:36] We start with 20? [17:53:46] doh, 25 [17:53:49] 25, and tics can earn you either 5 or 10 more. [17:55:04] Mine has a bowie knife that she likes to play with when someone's boring or annoying her. [17:55:13] "Likes to play with knives" [17:55:21] Sure :) [17:55:28] Take five. [17:55:41] Already came up with mine, but I'll state in channel "Terrified of coffee mugs" and "Accidentally destroys furniture" [17:55:49] Dem: ka [17:55:50] y [17:56:09] You and Dre can come up with one more tic for perversity. [17:56:21] Hm [17:56:26] My lab will be "Happysoft" Our motto: "It's not a bug, the user's just a traitor!" [17:56:30] Hmm [17:56:34] Hee. [17:56:58] I like that. Take two perversity. [17:57:03] Whoo. ^_^_v [17:58:21] A common rule of thumb at RL paranoia games is that if players laugh out loud, then it's worth a niec perversity bonus. It's understandably harder to do on IRC. [17:58:54] Yup. [17:59:56] "Overwhelming urge to kill cute, soft, fuzzy things" [18:00:33] Quick afk for dinner! I'll be right back! [18:00:57] Sure. 5 more perversity. [18:01:04] dankje [18:05:29] Blissville: Where Science meets Fun in new, exciting, and Three-Legged ways. [18:05:40] Heh heh. [18:08:05] Hee. [18:08:07] WHat about you, Dre? [18:08:31] And I'll give you a perversity point for that. [18:08:48] Aww ;) [18:09:15] Okay sorry [18:09:19] warming up food [18:09:19] uh [18:09:29] I can't think of another tic but for a lab name [18:09:39] * Ardweden (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #paranoia [18:09:43] moo [18:09:56] Hihi! [18:10:02] Greetings. [18:10:04] X: Moos as a greeting ;) [18:10:19] Good food? [18:10:25] I hope so. [18:10:32] NALOMS (NOT A League of Mad Scientists) Inc. "You aren't paranoid. Everyone is just trying to kill you" [18:12:04] Hm. That's worth a point. [18:12:17] Yay ^^ [18:12:31] ... another thing. In tabletop Paranoia games, perversity points are usually represented with something tangible, like chips. [18:12:33] :( [18:12:39] As in, potato chips. [18:12:44] If you spend em, you get to eat them. [18:12:50] hee [18:12:50] And being entertaining gets you more. :9 [18:12:52] Mm.. tasty tasty perversity. [18:12:55] What if you eat them accidently ;.; [18:13:07] Did you eat it in an entertaining way? [18:13:15] Maaaybe? [18:13:54] * Marion-I-XWN-1 looks up from licking her chip for several moments, then eating it. What? [18:13:59] :) [18:20:19] Anything else? [18:21:18] You may wanna brainstorm on what your labs do, just for flavor and figure out your revenge plot. [18:21:29] Ahhh [18:24:31] I'll say my lab largely creates consoles with blinking lights, lots of buttons, that have a tendency to spark and explode when things go wrong. They've recently moved into minituration, creating portable devices that are best used as handgrenades rather than for their intended purpose. [18:25:02] They also create programs to emulate this functionality in other devices. [18:26:25] Whee [18:26:54] My company makes glow in the dark bubble-wrap. *nods* [18:28:10] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [18:28:39] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [18:28:43] DAMMIT [18:29:07] As an aside, I'm now pretty fucking twitchy [18:30:00] :/ [18:30:11] Good for the char, tho [18:34:59] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [18:34:59] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [18:35:27] * Marion-I-XWN-1 snarls at everyone, and randomly kills an CS guys in the area [18:36:31] Robin has been eating for more than an hour and a half. ;_; [18:36:37] Perhaps his food ate him instead. [18:36:38] ._. [18:37:06] I ATE HIM [18:37:14] Tasty. [18:37:27] * Marion-I-XWN-1 licks her lips. Yes. [18:37:57] eeeeeeeee [18:39:16] My lab likes to experiment with chemicals and genetics, trying to recreate mythical creatures of antiquity. For chemicals, the current project is to see what combination produces the biggest explosion when you feed it to the test project, and bets are being placed as to the size, strength, and how far the goo flies. [18:39:37] Whee! [18:39:38] GOO! [18:39:46] likes? :) [18:40:01] Sure. [18:40:08] coo [18:42:14] I may end up going to bed before this game actually starts x.x I do have to be in bed before midnight I have to be up early tomorrow [18:42:27] What's your time zeona gain? :/ [18:42:32] EST [18:42:36] so it's 9:30 [18:42:44] Ugh. [18:42:53] Well, the plan was for two hours, right? [18:42:57] Yeah. [18:42:58] Sorry =/ 2 hour trip up state. [18:45:09] I'm giving RObin til ... eugh. If this doesn't go through, would next friday be okay? [18:45:24] sure [18:45:34] * Demota nods [18:45:42] THis is all very dissapointing. [18:45:52] Yeah. [18:46:14] Yes next friday should be fine =/ I'm sorry [18:46:25] I never see my dad though and I do have to on occasion [18:46:28] * Demota nods. [18:46:30] That's fine. [18:47:38] * Marion-I-XWN-1 sighs. It's a no go? [18:47:53] THat depends on Robin. [18:47:59] ah [18:48:18] See, when I try to get a game going, it tends to go like this: [18:48:32] 1) After trying forever, I get the minimum number of players. [18:48:36] 2) Game time! [18:48:40] 3) Someone fails to show up. [18:48:47] Arg [18:48:53] Sorry about two weeks ago. ;_; [18:49:44] * Marion-I-XWN-1 summons Robin. IMMEDIATLY. [18:50:48] I'd like to run a full 6-person game some day... [18:51:13] Even if I were just one over the minimum, it wouldn't mean disaster just bceause one person failed to show up. [18:51:36] Yeah... [18:52:56] I'd also have loved to run the game right there in #BESM. I was going to, in fact, until it looked like the game would be pushed back to overlap with MC. [18:53:21] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 nods. [18:53:28] I want people to see the game, see that I'm alright, and maybe start inviting me to theirs. [18:53:48] I don't really socialize unless it's online, so it gets really lonely. [18:53:53] Hmm...I know someone who might be interested in a game, actually [18:54:05] Oh? Cool. [18:53:32] S'all right if I ask him...he's in #spork [18:54:05] Sure. If you could get him interseted in a regular Paranoia game too, that'd be awesome. [18:54:47] MC is the ONLY game run in #besm heheh [18:54:57] Aww, he's not coming in [18:54:58] which is funny [18:55:10] It used to be that all games ran in-channel. [18:55:24] Then games started running at the same time, and running in their own channels. [18:55:28] That quickly became the standard. [18:55:37] ahhh [18:56:01] I was one of the founding members of the channel. Used to run games there... that was a long, long time ago, though. [18:56:15] I wish I could play games again. It's been a few years. [18:57:05] I never play games either. I kinda forget how after a while. x.x because I run most of the time. [18:57:30] What do you run? [18:58:29] He plays in EH. [18:58:32] EVERHAT HAT HAT. [19:00:28] I guess no game, then. [19:00:35] *sighs* [19:00:39] Probably should have expected this. [19:00:46] ? [19:00:48] No Robin? [19:00:53] No Robin. [19:01:09] His parents aren't the most understanding when it comes to gaming. [19:01:17] Well I'm quite willing to keep trying Dem. [19:01:23] Thanks. [19:01:56] ditto :) [19:02:02] If you can collect 4-6 people willing to play a normal Paranoia game, that'd be awesome. [19:03:02] I know Rowyn wanted to play [19:03:24] Yeah, but he's really tough to get ahold of at the moment. [19:03:24] It's ahrd to find many people willing to join games I run, though. -_- [19:03:32] How's that? [19:03:35] I don't know if I can make it for a regular game but I'm definitely willing to try this again until I can at least give it a shot ^^ [19:03:42] There's a glut of games in besm.sandwich.net. [19:03:47] So it's hard to find people period. [19:04:19] I seem to have perversely good luck at it. [19:04:34] It'll probably go away when I try a normal game. Such is life. [19:04:36] No, you ran an anytime game. :P [19:04:44] And it started a while ago. [19:05:24] So lonely. ._. [19:05:27] It happened twice! [19:06:11] Anyways, we're not going to have timee, right? Well, at least we've worked out all the setup details for three of the characters. [19:06:17] * Bucher (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [19:06:18] I guess. [19:06:19] ow [19:06:29] =/ I'm sorry Dem [19:06:39] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [19:06:44] * Bucher is now known as Marion-I-XWN-1 [19:06:54] S'it over :( [19:06:56] ? [19:07:13] Yeah. [19:07:16] Yeah, the estimated run time was two hours. So we risk midnight at this point. [19:07:26] Awww [19:08:29] Even if I could get five people for a game, we could be missing one person and still run. x.x [19:09:03] and realistically I have to be not engaged in stuff at 11:30 =/ need a shower and stuff [19:09:48] I may or may not have another person interested...asking now [19:11:57] ROBIN ARRIVES [19:12:19] Do you guys want to push for it? [19:12:36] I'm willing to give it a shot. [19:12:49] Yep! [19:12:57] We can try. Sure. [19:13:13] Worst case we run half of something and try to finish later. That's still half of something. [19:14:22] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Paranoia [19:14:33] Robin: dice in #dice [19:15:07] Oh shit. I don't have dice. [19:15:31] * Robin is now known as Nordom-I-PWN-1 [19:15:35] Okay, Robin, you got everything about Perversity Points and such, right? [19:16:48] I read it last night, yeah. [19:16:54] Got any tics picked out? [19:17:19] Can you paste me the links for the info, again? [19:17:34] [17:25:37] http://demota.sandwich.net/RPG/Paranoia/Chart.txt [19:17:34] [17:25:40] http://demota.sandwich.net/RPG/Paranoia/R&D.txt [19:18:27] Summed up, perversity points can also be spent to modify rolls. It's strongly encouraged that you describe HOW those situations were modified. You get perversity points for being entertaining. In other words, being entertaining means you're less likely to die. [19:20:27] Alright, let's gets tarted on bidding on Brilliance, shall we? [19:20:35] Sure. ^_^ [19:20:45] Brilliance? [19:20:47] You can bid more than once, so order doesn't matter. BIds must be in whole points. [19:21:01] Brilliance. [19:21:04] You are a scientist! [19:21:45] * Marion-I-XWN-1 waits to see what the others do, so she knows how to :) [19:22:00] You just say how many perversity points you want to invest into Brilliance. [19:22:03] Okay, I'll start the bidding at 5 points. [19:22:38] Desby-I is currentlly the most brilliant scientist here! [19:22:53] ^_^_v [19:23:04] 6. [19:23:07] I'll uh...bid 7! [19:23:55] Do I have to go higher? [19:23:57] Yeah. [19:24:01] As a reminder, brilliance order is determined by how many points you put it, and once you bid, you can't take it back. [19:24:13] Well, the order. [19:24:15] This is also going much more slowly than I was picturing. :/ [19:24:24] Okay. 25. Who wants some? [19:24:40] ....8? [19:24:44] ...okay I'm not bidding more than that [19:25:30] 9. [19:25:56] didn't Greg just bid 25? o.O [19:26:00] I did. [19:26:16] We'll stop the Brilliance auciton here. [19:26:33] Now... Deskby-I. You are BRILLIANT! Describe to us, just HOW brilliant you are. [19:27:01] ( I'm, um, really, really, really, really brilliant. ) [19:27:16] ( But I'm not so good with words. ) [19:27:28] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 has no need for lighting in his lab, because his genius provides its own lights. His lab assistants regular complain about this, because they aren't that brilliant. But he likes the money savings. [19:27:46] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [19:27:52] * Ardweden laughs. [19:27:52] Hee hee. Take 2 perversity. [19:27:58] Thank you. ^_^ [19:28:05] * Marion-I-XWN-1 (gryffongol@d38-23-60.commercial1.cgocable.net) has joined #Paranoia [19:28:08] re [19:28:11] ( Re. What was the last you saw? ) [19:28:23] (14 chips left. 10 from tics, 2 from company, 2 from that) [19:28:24] * Nordom-I-PWN-1 snickers. [19:28:25] ( 10) [19:28:30] Covered. [19:28:50] thanks [19:29:25] Now... Nordom-I. YOu are next most Brilliant. Describe to us how Brilliant, but-not-quite-as-Brilliant-as-that-stuffy-know-it -all-Deskby-I, you are! [19:31:37] (Am I at 8 or 10?) [19:31:56] ( 8 ) [19:32:02] (damn) [19:32:13] My brilliance, while not sufficient to illuminate the area around me, can be tapped to provide electrical power to various household appliances. In this way, I power a small refridgerator I wear on one side of my head, and a small microwave I wear on the other, in addition to assorted communications devices I designed myself, and which are therefore perfect. Some of my assistants attempt to try this themselves, but they all end up b [19:32:19] ( end up b ) [19:32:19] Cut: but they all end up b [19:32:25] (I still wasn't sure about how the bidding worked...) [19:32:31] ( but they all end up becoming imbiciles talking about the lack of spoons in their environments. ) [19:32:55] I like the mental image. Three perversity points. [19:32:57] Heh heh. [19:33:41] Marion-I! PLease illustrate for us, just how Brilliant, though less so than those two over-rated crackpots who couldn't tell a photon fron a photob, you are! [19:36:52] My brillaince, while not as bright or glaring as the two above, fills the room with a sullen, flickering, but dignified glow. The shadows make it easier for my various creations to sneak up on people, and more than one fool, genius or not, as fallen prey the tentacle in the dark. [19:37:03] to the, even [19:37:15] Heh. [19:37:28] Not bad for your first one. I liked how you sneaked in a thinly-veiled threat. Two perversity! [19:37:35] thanks :) [19:38:02] Xarias-R. You're Brilliant, but, let's face it. You're the least Brilliant of the cast. Please describe to us how inadequately Brilliant you are. [19:38:40] ( "I recently wrote a mathematical proof stating that you can slice bread with a knife." ) [19:39:28] ( hahahaa ) [19:39:37] ( 1 perversity. ) [19:40:11] ( XD ) [19:41:00] Er, Xarias-I. Excuse me. [19:41:37] My brilliance while not as brilliant as the rest of the cast, gives off enough of a glow to throughly annoy others especially during times when they are trying to sleep. My assistants often complain of this, I however am protected from such a disturbance by wearing my sunglasses. [19:42:06] You worked your tic into it, and it's clever. Two points to Gryffindor. [19:42:12] Yay! ^^ [19:42:45] Now... bid on Importance. This is how IMportant your device is. Rules are you have to bid at least one more than the previous person, but you can change your bid. Again, all perversity points bid are SPENT. [19:43:21] I'll open bidding at 0! [19:43:22] IMportance is just how REVOLUTIONARY AND HOW AWESOME IT WILL MAKE THINGS! [19:43:27] 15! [19:43:33] 17 [19:43:52] 20. :3 [19:44:13] (can I go higher? or do I need to tentacle the fool?) [19:44:17] (No additional bid) [19:44:26] (dang) [19:44:37] ( I mean from me) [19:44:39] (You're fine I think) [19:44:40] You can go higher, yeah. [19:44:51] And desby-I, are you absolutely sure you want to do that? [19:45:05] Is your brilliant doomsday device really going to be that insignificant? [19:45:07] That puny? [19:45:21] That... [DELETED FOR SECURITY REASONS]? [19:45:26] (I've got 14 points left. I'm absolutely certain. ^_^) [19:45:36] Ooookya. [19:45:58] Nordom-I, describe to us your ingenious plan, and just how huge an impact it will have. [19:46:14] 18, btw [19:46:20] ( *nod* ) [19:47:52] I will insert an ingenious trojan horse into The Computer, putting a small section of it in every report of mine that it will read. When the final piece is added, The Computer of Alpha Complex will worship me as a god, and do all my bidding. And I'm not just talking about making me cookies, either. [19:48:27] Now... Gloat. Rant. [19:49:06] * Nordom-I-PWN-1 cracks his knuckles. [19:49:39] * Ardweden (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [19:50:25] Oh, you doubted my brilliance, did you. "Second place," you said! "Not quite enough to read by," you said! But soon, SOON you will know TRUE genius, as I will display my supreme brilliance for all to see, AND THEN WIELD IT AGAINST YOU AS A MASSIVE CLUB WITH NAILS IN IT! [19:51:05] One perversity. [19:51:10] THEN you will know regret, regret enough to change the nature of a man, and you will ALL BOW BEFORE ME! And I will laaaaaaugh, and laaaaaugh, and laaaaugh. Like this: KYAHAHAHAHAHHA! [19:51:18] Correction: Two. [19:51:32] * Nordom-I-PWN-1 bows. [19:52:02] Marion-I, please describe to us just how utterly revolutionary and terrifying your plan is, though not quite as terrifying and far-reaching as that of Nordom-I's. [19:52:56] * Ardweden (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #paranoia [19:53:04] ( rehi ) [19:53:15] (args and thinks) [19:53:25] (Aw, did you already finish the descrips?) [19:53:33] ( Well, Robin's. ) [19:53:41] ( I'll c/p to you, Ard. ^_^ ) [19:53:45] (Thanks!)

THEY LAUGHED! BUT I WILL BE THE ONE LAUGHING SOON, OH YES! ) [20:04:52] ( MWAAHAHAAHA Are you laughing now? Yes, but my reign of laught has only begun! ) [20:05:18] ( *snickers* ) [20:05:41] ( But you just stopped laughing to say that. ) [20:05:59] ( Or: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ...Come! Laugh with me! ...Mwahahahahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! ) [20:06:01] I wasn't quite good enough for the big leagues. To be stuffed in some dark lab, scarred and forgotten, because my brilliance was too dim for them. FOOLS! HOW they UNDERESTIMATED ME! From below will I rise and CONQUER! If I cannot have it, then no one shall!! DOOOM, always DOOOM upon you!! A lack of light only hides my nefarious schemes from the arrogance of others!! FEAR ME OR I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOULS!!! [20:06:22] ( Now, the plan? ) [20:06:30] (* Builds a machine to handle laughing when he is otherwise occupied. )) [20:06:51] ( And you're doing good! ) [20:06:54] (now?) [20:07:16] ( Yeah. You're trying to describe how Important your investion is, though not quite as Important as Nordom-I's. ) [20:07:28] * Xarias-I-DEA-1 (RubedoKuka@pool-141-149-98-35.pghk.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:07:58] (Oh, doh!) [20:11:11] I will tunnel into the very foundations beneath the Alpha Complex, and install devices wherever wish, laying my monsters about to guard them! Then, I will first destroy the Computer with the 'Shake and Bake', a program sent to all these machines that will cause it to shake into dust. And threaten to destroy the lives of all if I am not obeyed!! [20:11:32] I like the name. Three perversity. [20:12:19] * Marion-I-XWN-1 purrs contentedly [20:12:49] Xarias-I, your plan is Revolutionary and Important, but not quite as revolutionary and important as the takeover of The Computer or the tectonic destruction of Alpha Complex. Please describe to us how Revolutionary, but not quite as revolutionary, it is. [20:12:55] ... and, he's not here. [20:13:14] * Xarias-I-DEA-1 (TwistedRid@ACABE510.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Paranoia [20:13:27] [20:11:11] I will tunnel into the very foundations beneath the Alpha Complex, and install devices wherever wish, laying my monsters about to guard them!

Please describe to us how Revolutionary, but not quite as revolutionary, it is. [20:13:51] (Have I mentioned that I HATE my DSL company. it's down again and even my dial up isn't very stable right now) [20:14:31] (gives love, sympathy, and Axes to X. I know your Pain.) [20:14:47] ( ...so, are you gonna cripple Alpha Complex with bad DSL connections? ;) ) [20:15:04] (Ooooh, an Idea!) [20:15:16] ( ^_^_v ) [20:15:50] My company's product of glow in the dark bubble-wrap while seemingly harmless hides a foul plan. You see everything gets shipped in bubble wrap around the world. And everybody knows that you can't resist POPPING bubble wrap. Glow in the dark bubble wrap being even MORE tempting than normal! Therefore all over the world people will be popping our bubble wrap! and doing so in the dark! When they won't be able to see the tiny receptor inside [20:15:57] (where did that cut off?) [20:16:01] (inside) [20:16:16] ( Tiny receptor inside. ) [20:16:21] the harmless bubble wrap. A receptor that picks up on the loud popping sound of the bubble wrap! This will then activate and start to absorb the energy from the electric devices around it until it morphs itself into an invincible android. All over the world these androids will be popping up in homes until they create an UNSTOPPABLE ANDROID ARMY that will be summoned to their home at NALOMS Inc. to be used to exact my ULTIMATE REVENGE! [20:16:47] Ridiculously complex, dramatic, and over the top. [20:16:50] Five perversity. [20:16:53] * Ardweden laughs. [20:16:58] Yay! [20:17:06] Whee. ^^ [20:17:17] * Marion-I-XWN-1 sends tentacle monsters after Dre! [20:17:53] Desby-I, your creation has no importance whatsoever. It will have no real impact at all on Alpha Complex society. Please describe to us how puny and barely (but still able) to carry out your will it is. [20:18:02] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 's "Orbital Weapon Platform, Subterranean" is so remarkable only my brain could have conceived it. It will auto-target and destory and philisitine coffee-mug bearer that wanders beneath its sub-basement location. All will die, as soon as I lure them into the sub-sub-basement. [20:18:12] (Anyway unfortunately x.x given my current technological disfunction and the fact that I now have to call Verizon and bitch at them I'm gonna have to sign off) [20:18:23] and -> any? [20:18:30] (yeah) [20:18:36] ( ...ha! ) [20:18:41] Alright. :/ [20:18:56] Awww [20:19:04] ( Nice, Greg. ^^ ) [20:19:04] Before you do, though, could you do one more thing? [20:19:17] ... actually, no. [20:19:21] Best to do it with everyone at once. [20:19:31] ( Thanks. ^_^ I strive for utter unimportance. ^_^_ [20:19:33] I guess we'll pick up next friday? [20:19:46] And I like that. Three perversity. [20:20:05] Classic Coyote versus Road Runner. [20:20:12] Friday is coo [20:20:39] (17 perversity, as I'll be looking at this log later to remember stuff.) [20:20:41] Any sooner weekdays that could work? [20:21:11] Tuesday and Wednesday fairly tricky, most everything else is fine. [20:21:21] * Xarias-I-DEA-1 (TwistedRid@ACABE510.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: ) [20:21:36] Aw, poo. Ah well. Next Friday, I guess, since we'd need to talk with him too. [20:21:48] Well, we didn't get much done, but was it at least fun/informative? [20:21:53] I had fun. ^_^ [20:22:05] Pretty much any weekday is good, save Wednesday night [20:22:06] And it broke my streak of no games as a PC. [20:22:13] And yeah, much with the funning :) [20:22:40] Okay, so two people had fun. [20:22:43] That's half the players. [20:22:46] THat's not bad. [20:23:30] I think everyone had fun; just not everyone said so. :P [20:23:38] I think Arwen's right. ^_^ [20:23:43] Point ;) [20:23:49] * Ardweden is always full of good points. [20:23:54] Yeey. [20:23:57] Are they sharp and shiny? [20:24:00] :) [20:24:20] I was a bit worried, since this is really just kinda a weird cross between RPGs and Other Games. ^^; [20:24:33] * Nordom-I-PWN-1 had fun! KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-pwn. [20:24:39] It's like Monopoly, if you had to roleplay purchases. [20:24:40] YAY! [20:24:53] w00t! [20:25:31] * Marion-I-XWN-1 has fun dreaming up her char. Yay for fun brain food! [20:25:35] Yay. [20:27:21] Done for now, then? :) [20:27:36] Yeah, thouhg I'd love it if people would stick around and talk and stuff. [20:27:53] Okay, though I've got a phone call coming in shortly. [20:27:54] Any general questions about the game or the setting? [20:28:02] Dial-up connection? [20:28:09] Naw, just distracting. [20:28:20] Coo [20:28:22] So how do the actual turns play out? [20:28:37] You send an assistant to get a part, his/her skill is based on your stat? [20:28:45] Yeah. [20:29:14] You roleplay them entering. Other people roleplay their assistants entering. If more than one assistant's in the same place, the conflict is rolled for, and the outcome is very quickly roleplayed. [20:29:42] * Deskby-I-KEA-1 nods. "Righto." [20:29:58] Minions could be secret society underlings, your own personal assistants, random guys you grab from a hall and pay... [20:30:14] Whatever is funniest? :P [20:30:21] Yeah. [20:30:43] You might want to come up with a pretty big list of lower-clearance characters. [20:32:32] *yawns* Laters for me. Kinda late here :) [20:32:41] ALrighty [20:33:19] unmoo all and good night! [20:33:27] And don't forget to feed your minions! [20:33:34] Night dood. [20:33:47] And phone call.
