My friends and I just played our first game of Paranoia. Amazingly fun, and some great stories. I was wanting to hear some of your interesting events from the game.
WARNING: some of the data in the story might be above security clearance RED.
A couple of my favorites.
1. We were in a traincar that stopped in a pitch-black tunnel, lights off. My character feels her butt get grabbed, then one of the characters trips and is on the ground around my feet. As team leader, I order whoever touched me to identify themselves. No-one speaks at first, then one of the other two gets blamed. After a bit of a scene in which he admits to "chewing" his meds, from which we extrapolate not really taking his meds, we end up shooting that person.
I found out later that both players attempted the butt grap--one failed horribly and tripped, the other succeeded (and blamed the one who tripped.)
2. One player had Matter Eater and stole and ate the belt of the Cleanliness Officer. He then tried for the next hour or two to get the guy to do an inspection so he could accuse him of losing Computer property. I had Hygiene 1, so I kept ordering us to attend to more important things.
3. In front of the debriefing room at the end of the mission, only me and one other player was left. I was on clone 4, him on 6. We get into a small argument and he shoots me. I use Polymorphism to try to turn into a dragon and suceeded, then proceed to bite him to death. The DM rolled and it turned out all the calendars in the room were non-operational at the moment.
