Paranoia Mafia Sign-Ups

#1

Post by MurderWeasel »

Greetings, Friend Citizen, and welcome to Paranoia Mafia. What is Paranoia Mafia? I'm afraid that information is above your security clearance. You wouldn't want to have unauthorized access to classified information, would you? That would be treason, and treason is punishable by summary execution.

Also treason: being a mutant, or following those dirty communists Lennon and Marx.

Unfortunately, our little home here in Alpha Complex is absolutely overrun by mutant commie traitors. That's why we have to employ Troubleshooters like you to ferret them out. What's a Troubleshooter? Simple! A Troubleshooter finds trouble, then shoots it.

Tragically, while the all-seeing power of Friend Computer, the benevolent technological god who oversees every aspect of your existence (for your own good, naturally), is great, there are occasional little hiccups, and some Troubleshooters have, once or twice, turned out to themselves be commie mutant traitors. We have intelligence revealing that one or more of the members of your team(s) are just such vile blemishes on the face of our little utopia.

Sign up today to put their menace to an end! Failure to volunteer is treason!



So, this is the sign-up for Paranoia Mafia. It's based off the roleplaying game Paranoia, but you don't need to know anything about Paranoia to participate and have fun. In fact, knowledge of Paranoia may be neutral or even detrimental to your enjoyment of the game, as expressing knowledge of Paranoia constitutes treason!

This game will be a little different from most mafias run thus far, which is to say it will be so bastard it could star in Game of Thrones. Unconventional roles, rules, and balancing are to be expected. Weird things happening are to be expected. I have a design that I think will make for a fun journey for the players despite (or, more precisely, because of) this, but I think everyone should know right off the bat that if you sign up this is gonna be a somewhat crazy ride and while I hope everyone will do their best to play to their win conditions this isn't gonna be a super duper incredibly serious and competitive game, and balancing and roles will be all over the place.

This game will not feature vanilla townies. It may (or may not) include all the other crazy stuff I normally eschew (lynchers, jesters, bombs). It can accommodate literally any number of players greater than one. Sign-ups will run for at least one week, but realistically may go a few days longer because of how my schedule syncs with the current date.

Join today!

[+] Michael Froese
Michael Froese - The story of an identity; the story of a matador; the story of a liar; the story of a junkie; the story of a very special frog; the story of a jackal; the story of an oscillator; the story of a ghost; the story of the death of an author; the story of a bunch of other stuff.

THREADS!

PREGAME: Mad world - This...this felt nice. - Michael was incredibly disappointed in himself for actually agreeing to go do something with Beryl. - He wasn't actually all that sorry. - Part of him was worried his real motivation wasn't self-torturing altruism but instead the fact that it was one of the few things that still made him feel.

ISLAND:
Michael and all of his friends were going to be footnotes in a history textbook. - he was folding in on himself like a four-dimensional object in three-dimensional space - Everything was about pain, fear, and love. - "Gave them our reactions, our explosions, all that was ours; For graphs of passion, and charts of stars." - He had a duty to look into someone's eyes as he killed them. - Closure really did sound like nothing at all. - "I wish we were lovers, but it's for the best." - Michael Froese the award-winning murderer. That was who he was now. - "I wanted to lose myself." - "Good and bad, all roads lead to Rome and I just, it hurts too much to be a good person." - "Somewhere out there in the deep blue sea, there's this whale." - "...It's harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else." - "The neighbors, they adored him for his humor and his conversation. Look underneath the house there, find the few living things, rotting fast in their sleep; oh, the dead," - He gave her a big hug. He buried his head in her shoulder, feeling her cold, spongy, rubbery skin against his forehead. She had no eyes. She had no face. Something had eaten her face. - Michael Froese was a crazy person with a gun. - Validation. - "You don't live in a goddamned movie." - "I miss what it's like to be, like, actually alone." - "Market data inconsistent. Cantor API problem. Trading system offline," - Michael didn't want this. It wasn't like that'd stop him. - "I'm wide awake, it's morning." - He was a spree killer now, he supposed. - When he gave his word, he was giving nothing. - The fact they even existed was being politicized. - "BERYL FUCKING MAHELONA. TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO BERYL MAHELONA," - 'Am I gray?' - A beach covered in unidentified decedents. - He'd never felt anything unconditionally. - "Look around you, you're surrounded.
It won't get any better. And so, goodnight."

THREADS!

PREGAME: August 12th, 2017 - The explosive sound of metal hitting metal

ISLAND:
She turned away. Everything from here on out was for the terrorists to see. - "All of us, we have the chance to actually do something with our lives." - The students were the shark in the box. - Complacency was festering like a tumour. - "She's right. It won't - it won't change anything," - Scraped into the wall, in neatly-styled lettering, the words "If they won't live in peace, then they'll die for peace." - Val needed a gun, - "I do not care for violence without a point," she stated. "My gun is not loaded." - "Juliette, I'm sure you already know this, but you really should take pains to be careful around people who speak only in enthymemes." - "Someone once said, 'Change must come with the barrel of a gun', and they were not wrong." - Two explosions.

Micheal experienced super position wherein he was both Beryl and he was Beryl's RP site quote. He was sure he could be happy about this but he no longer knew what happiness meant.

Ooooooo....I love Mafia! And this looks very fun.

I'm up, since the player board looks the slightest bit barren.

Bumpity bump! Right now we've got five which is totally enough to roll with. That said, there is some time for folks to sneak in still--ended up having some stuff eat up time unexpectedly this week and am about to be neck-deep in work for a few days.

Count me in! I've been looking forward to this one since it was announced.

As a heads up for anyone familiar with my play style, I probably going to be relatively lowkey this game - I'll still push reads and stuff, but my schedule's pretty crammed and I'm hoping to play a more relaxed game this time around anyway, regardless of alignment.

I feel like I need that disclaimer though, else I'll get lynched in a heartbeat. :p
