You had to go there...

But I do have a special prize that I'm going to give away to the best DM. So, let the compitition really begin.

Yes, that sounds fair, since you'll be DM'ing too! Hmmmm....

I agree it's all about the fun! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone in person this weekend.

I'm currently planning on getting down there around 3pm (and very tempted to run over to the National Championship Celebration), of course depending on how the parking and weather looks. Don't cancel on me if I'm not there when the previous games end at 2pm, though.

Of course it's totally fair and predetermined

I figure we miught get some late people because of the celebration so depending on how things go we might delay the second teir games if everyone isn't there for a little bit.

Ohio Union Hours of Operation 2002 and 2003

Regular Hours of Operation:

Sunday 12pm - 11pm
Monday 7am - 11pm

Thursday 7am - 11pm
Friday 7am - 1am
Saturday 9am - 1am

Though there are events scheduled to start as early as 4:30 and 7:00 am so I imagine the doors are unlocked earlier, just no staff is present. Likewise there is an event scheduled to end atl 3:00 am, so running late shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Crothian]

Thanks Clear Dragon. I'll probably be done there around 9am. On the whole Gamers are known to be morning people so I should be first.

As promised, here is a (very) short primer on Paranoia - I will provide another quick (5 minute) intro right before play begins on Saturday in order to bring everyone up to speed on some game mechanics. This here is for flavor!

UTOPIA
Pronunciation: yu-'tO-pE-&
Function: noun
1 : see Alpha Complex


Alpha Complex is perfect. Every clone has a sleeping cubicle thoughtfully provided for them, every citizen has more than enough food, and each has a fulfilling profession: obviously, every clone in Alpha Complex is perfectly happy. And Alpha Complex owes that sense of happiness and security to the watchful optical sensor of our friend, the Computer.

The Computer has been with all of us since the beginning of our lifecycles – from the earliest days in the clone farms through happy and fulfilling days of entertainment eating Hot Fun and drinking Bouncy Bubbly Beverage while watching The Troubleshooting Adventures of Tella-O-MLY, the Computer has been there. As it is said, “It knows when you are sleeping, It knows when you connive. It knows when you’ve been traitorous, so be loyal and alive!” How can a clone feel less than joyful in such a happy environment?

Yet, some clones have turned away from their friend the Computer, and these traitors threaten the very existence of Alpha Complex!

“How can this be?” you ask. “How can traitors to Alpha Complex not see that the Computer’s guidance allows for complete happiness?” Perhaps they are members of traitorous Secret Societies, bent on taking control of Alpha Complex and ruling over all good clones. Or perhaps they are horrible Mutants: deviant clones bent on destroying the Computer. Maybe, just maybe, they are from the Outside, the terrifying unknown. Worst, they might be Commies, spreading their propaganda to unknowing clones until traitorous thoughts spread like a rash on a clone working as Reactor Shielding.

That’s where you come in. You have the honor of being one of the chosen clones – you are a Troubleshooter.

But what do Troubleshooters do? Why, a Troubleshooter shoots trouble, of course. In addition, Troubleshooters get to go on all sorts of fun and exciting missions for the Computer! Doesn’t that make you happy? Of course, being the Computer’s chosen clones also means that some Troubleshooters also fall victim to the plots of Commie Mutant Traitors and end up stabbed, shot, laser burned, disintegrated, made into the occasional batch of Cold Fun, and accidentally Summarily Executed. Such dangers are simply the price a clone pays for Utopia.

Yet the traitors have spread their influence even to the ranks of the Troubleshooters! So be on the lookout for Commies and Secret Society members and Mutants. All such traitors need to be Summarily Executed immediately!

So have a nice daycycle, Troubleshooter, and remember:

Stay Alert!
Trust No One!
And Keep Your Laser Handy!
