The Computer Is Your Friend

The Computer is pleased with the members of this sector (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28992), but has come to believe that your particular cell not only harbours Treasonous Secret Societies, but Mutants as well!

The Computer demands a census of the cell. All inhabitants are to report immediately by posting their desire to participate.

/haxx
-=-=-=- The OOC -=-=-=-
Welcome to the second iteration of the Paranoia game! The object of the game is to overthrow the computer... unless you're part of the Secret Police, that is! When registration is complete (let's say GMT +0:00 at 11:59 PM on Friday, January 12th...that's 6:59 PM on the same day for those EST board members)

In a manner similar to Werewolf, each "day" will take a 48 hour period and each "night" will take a 24 hour one. Most activity will happen during the day, but a few lucky ones will have special abilities to use at night as well!

The basic mechanics work like this:
During the day, you are expected to do your duty as a loyal citizen and submit a form to The Computer detailing your suspicions, and the evidence you have to back it. To make things a little more interesting than last game, though, the forms will now be private. That is, you are to submit your accusation of treason to Jontom Xire and I via PM. You may be spotted going into the form office, but nobody knows what you put on the form except for The Computer. Failure to report suspicion is treason!

Many Lives:
The Computer has determined that your cell should not experience the same blood bath as the last. As such, each of you will have two clones. When you die, one of your clones automatically reactivates with *most* of your memories intact. The Computer will scrub all mutation and loyalty to secret societies when you return not that that prevents you from joining up again! In effect, each of you have 3 lives.

Wait, mutants?
It took you this long to notice? For shame! The computer needs observant citizens. Shape up, and keep your eyes peeled! Yes, indeed, mutants have infiltrated your sector. These horrible creatures sometimes don't even know of their mutation. It is your duty to cleanse your society of these abominations. Or at least, keep people from realizing that YOU are one of them, if that be the case!

Never did quiet understand how it worked and all, but I'll join up.

My name is Ink by the way.

Do you mean that "Ink" is another account of yours and you want that account to play, not this one?

Ok, here are a few hints for play, given that last game was a bit of a shambles:

1) If your role gives you special things you can do, use them to win! If you don't understand them, ask! Last game the secret police didn't use the abilities of their role at all.

2) If you are in charge of a secret society, be in charge. Last game members were being lynched by their own secret society. How you do it is up to you, but here are a few suggestions:

a) Get all cell leaders to PM the IDs of all members to you and disseminate them throughout your organisation. Pros, everyone knows everyone else so won't vote for them, and you won't lose contact with members if you lose a cell leader. Cons, if someone is a spy or dies and chooses a different secret society after re-cloning, your organisation is wide open.
b) Make sure two people in each cell know the ID of the cell leader of each cell below, and that two people in each cell know the cell controller from the cell above. Pros, less likely to lose contact with a cell (can still happen). Cons, wider dissemination of IDs increases risk of exposure.
c) Ask for recommendations from all members before voting starts each day. Choose one or two and pass them back down to be vetoed. By this way you should be able to pick a target that isn't a member of your own society. Then pass the final name back down the chain so that the whole society votes for one person.

The more in control of your secret society you are, the more likely you will win by co-ordinating votes. Also if you have mutants with useful powers, identify the chain of command to send orders to that person. Use their ability wisely. Consider promoting them to the command cell so that you can discuss options with them more easily.

3) Recruit. Each new clone is wiped free of all allegiances and no longer has to stick with their old secret society. However they will still remember who their cell members were, and maybe a cell controller too. If you recruit them you swell your army. Pass orders down the chain to a suitable bottom cell with orders to recruit them. That way if they turn out to be plannng to spy on you you lose the least.

Long live fourth degree!

For the Blue Serpent!

DarkLightDragon

Heheh... I was (sort-of) controlling the votes of the Blue Serpent leader. If he didn't comply, he died :smallbiggrin:

Captain van der Decken
2007-01-10, 01:24 PM
Really? Go on..

DarkLightDragon
2007-01-10, 01:31 PM
I told him I'd get the people I knew to leave him alone as long as he left us alone and voted the way I wanted.

If we were told that there were spies among us, then I wouldn've been so trusting of those few I did trust.

This keyboard sucks. I wish my wireless one hadn't run out of battery power.

Captain van der Decken
2007-01-10, 01:43 PM
Was I one of the few? :tongue:

DarkLightDragon
2007-01-10, 01:50 PM
Yes. Migh've been different if I'd known about spies though. Might've. looking forward to next game.

Captain van der Decken
2007-01-10, 01:52 PM
Yeah. I just hope I get an as interesting role as the last one.

Which is kind of assured, really, seeing as there was only -one- person who started off loyal to the computer. And Ink was in the secret police.

DarkLightDragon
2007-01-10, 01:54 PM
I got betrayed :smallannoyed:

Captain van der Decken
2007-01-10, 02:03 PM
Yes, that seems to be a sticking point for you, doesn't it? :tongue:

Jontom Xire
2007-01-10, 02:06 PM
Well that's one problem we had. Really only the first game is the best because you don't know that there are spies. After that us guys have to keep varying it. Have some genuine citizens just because you expect there won't be any, etc. etc. However with so few players the first game sucked a bit. We're gonna keep this open and recruiting much longer.

Werewolf V is packed. Can I recommend you all please help us with recruiting. The more players the better, much more so with this game than with Werewolf.

I am so in. This seems (mostly) like the Paranoia RPG that went out of date a couple of centuries ago. (okay, not quite)

I don't quite understand the cell system, but that's okay. Now for random quote.

"Happiness is mandatory. If you are not happy, you will be used as reactor shielding."

Death, your friend the Reaper
2007-01-10, 06:43 PM
You know DLD, I was quiet willing to stab a few backs in that game. All I was worried about last game was out of our entire team, only one person voted. So it was a bit difficult to co-ordinate!

All praise to Selrahc.

I'll join in, I will serve the mighty computer!

Just in case I'm a leader:
Is their any way secret society leader can keep themselves unknown from their society? Possibly by communicating through a narrator (Though that could keep annoying...)

Do we get to set the ranks members of secret societies are before the game begins? and can we choose how many ranks their are?

So we you could have:


Leader
|
/ \
Cell Commanders
/ \ / \
Cell Lieutants
/ \ / \ / \ / \
Cell Members

The leader is kept unknown from the rest of the secret society by only having two lieutenants who know who he is. He passes orders to the rest of the secret society through these two lieutenants. This should become obvious from the PM giving you your role when it comes.

And no the leader cannot choose the ranks and positions of their secret society members, because they don't know who they are. Each secret society member only knows their two cell mates and either the leader of the cell below or the controller of the cell they are in, assuming there is one (bottom cells don't control further cells and the command cell doesn't have a cell controller).

Can you be a member of more than one secret society, some sort of double agent?

Jontom Xire
2007-01-12, 07:15 AM
Of course. Check the roster from the previous game and you'll see what roles people had. Plus in this one, especially with the clones, we're encouraging secret societies to recruit new members, so infiltrating others will be even easier.

@Jontom: I think I'll sit this one out unless I meet an untimely demise in one of the werewolf games. Which is highly probable, and more likely sooner than later by the looks of it.

Jontom Xire
2007-01-12, 02:45 PM
We'll miss you, Ink. Even though you thoroughly confused me last game as you were the only true secret policemen yet you wanted the secret societies to win! Lucky for you the two spies in the secret police decided they wanted to win as secret policemen.

Lord Magtok
2007-01-12, 03:20 PM
I'm a cyborg. Will that instantly make me labeled as mutant or secret police by the others?

They didn't care about the talking cyber-llama, so I doubt it.

Lord Magtok

InaVegt
2007-01-14, 07:49 AM
Now now, I said you can choose to comply or not, I also said I advised people to comply, do you think I wouldn't follow my own advice. I didn't even know there were mutants or secret societies here, and frankly I don't like hearing it. But I have no suspicions as of now.

Also, I don't sweat.

Good Morning, Citizens

Your Friend, The Computer is pleased to inform you that subject Gezina has confessed to treason. Significant application of truth serum has lead to the discovery of a society known as the Treehuggers. Genetic analysis has revealed that subject Gezina also possessed mutant qualities. These have been purged from her new clone.

The Computer also regrets to inform you of the recent discovery of the eviscerated corpse of Gnome Barbarian. Not enough remained to perform genetic analysis. Identification was performed via dental records.

New clones of these individuals have been activated.

Gnome Barbarian and Gezina emerge from cryosleep chambers, memories of what happened earlier are quite fuzzy in their heads.

ADDENDUM: Citizen DarkCorax's clone has reported as activating. A sector scan reveals his corpse in his sleeping quarters. Cause of death: Brain explosion.

"I think your brain was so ashamed at being incarcerated in such a treasonous person it decided to end it's life. I am glad that the traitor Gezina was caught, a victory for the computer is to be celebrated. All those in this disgusting Treehuggers society should be ashamed, the computer is your friend. You still have the chance to turn away from those traitors and come into the light."

Recharge cycle complete

The Computer is pleased to report that the citizens of this complex have provided yet another traitor! Your notices of suspician have selected Altharis for interrogation.

An incredibly long, flexible tube detatches from the ceiling, dives into Altharis' quarters, and hauls him out. His screams can be heard throughout the complex, until he finally reaches the soundproof interrogation alcove.

Furthermore, The Computer has identified the following citizens as failing in their duty to report suspicians:
-Altharis (already captured)
-Kantur (Forgiven, due to pending other assignments from The Computer)
-Slaartibartfast (The tubes grab him, too)
-weebl (With all citizen-grabbing tubes in use, 2 thin-armed cylindrical robots drag him into containment)

Several moments pass. Once in a while, another scream escapse containment.

Subject Altharis has confessed membership in a secret society known as the Quartermasters, and has been terminated. A new clone will activate shortly.

Subject Slaartibartfast was found to have no membership in any secret society, and was going to be released with a warning. Unfortunately, a stray plasma flare disintegrated him. A new clone will activate shortly.

Subject weebl has confessed to membership in the society known as the Quartermasters. He has been terminated. A new clone will activate shortly.

The computer scans the health and hygiene of its citizens

ERROR: Citizen Lord Magtok reports as dead. Investigations reveal the cause of death to be brain explosion. A new clone will activate shortly.

There are still traitors among you! Citizens, do your duty!

OOC: Well having everything happen by PM means that there isn't actually much to react to.

((Agreed.

Secret ballots may be in keeping with the nature, but they detract somewhat from the fun in the format of the game. This is the same reason I was against secret ballots in WW5.))

((Anyway, You wanted something to react to...))

The computer wants YOU citizen.

We are proud to announce shop in a traitor week.

As joint commander in chief of the secret police I am proud to announce our annual recruitment drive. For entrance to junior rank Secret police status, simply fill in a membership form, including the name and rank of a suspected traitor.

These criminals will soon se the error of their ways, and be back supporting their community in no time (Thanks to the computers biological building materials initiative)

Whats that you say? how can a secret police force engage in a public recruitment drive? Surely that violates the mandate given to you by the computer?

Well friend, the answer to that is so mind boggilingly complex, that only people of clearance Blue or higher could even begin to process it. Content yourself that on membership you will receive a shiny button(Button supply limited, not all entrants guaranteed a button. If you are seen using your button, it will be taken from you) and an extra helping of go go gruel every day.(For purposes of this example the jovian day is taken as standard. The jovian day is remarkable, in that it lasts over three hundred years)

And best of all? You'll be helping our magnificent friend, the computer.

It's a lot harder to get the IC role-play and stuff going because of the secrecy inherent in the game. I know I've been really inactive in this game, partly because I've been on business trips to israel on and off while the game was running.
