Players that just don't *get* the genre

[Bluenose]

I just remembered this: I played in a one-shot Paranoia game in which no one died. Is this a case of the GM not getting the genre?

Seriously? Nobody got blown up by their crazy R&D devices. Nobody got executed because their report on the functioning of the R&D devices was inadequate. Nobody got executed because something went wrong and they were the person easiest for the others to blame. Nobody shot all the other players with a flamethrower to prevent them spreading disease and/or treason and/or mutation.

Somebody was doing something wrong.

If nothing else, they were working together too well and should be killed for being communists.

I did too...but it wasn't the DM's fault we survived*, we were just über-paranoid.

Anyone that paranoid must have something to hide. The Computer should've had them all executed on suspicion of being traitors.
