[QUOTE="Eis, post: 7746206, member: 6801206"] One of my gaming group's favorite role playing stories is from a Paranoia game that I GM'ed way back in the late 80s. In the game of course you all have mutant powers and technically are all traitors....the Computer is always going on and on about "commie mutant traitors" and searching them out etc. Well it is possible to have your mutant power registered with the Computer and thus be able to use it openly. My friend Scott was the only one in the group who was thus registered in our game. The party had gone to the briefing for their mission and were marched into a big intimidating room with drains in the floor that had suspicious red stains leading to them (gulp). Scott had a brilliant idea....he had heard that the computer and the other higher ups loved troubleshooters who really licked their boots....bootlicking is a very important part of the game. So before the briefing began Scott clears his throat and steps up in front of everyone and addresses the room. "First of all, I would like to thank the great Computer for allowing me.....an admitted commie mutant traitor...." I stop him there... pause... I look at the rest of the group...."what are you going to do when you hear that opening?" The five other troubleshooters AND the Vulture guards AND various bots who were present AND some other random civil servants could not draw weaponry and fire fast enough....poor Scott's character was reduced to one smoking boot sure you're a traitor, and you have admitted to the Computer that you're a mutant....but you don't blurt out a confession about being everything that is verboten....not in Alpha Complex lol [/QUOTE]
