You're up in the system, download the program and PM me sometime to get to view your character and make additions to his skill points.

OK, so I'm in - AFK-R-BRB-1

Well, looks like I can't play this after all. I'll follow your news posts with interest, but I'll have to sit this one out.

Time to lurk.

I am to wonder if it is possible to delay the game by one hour so it would be by 20:20 GMT time? I believe I can still be able to be around 19:20 but it'd be quite more comfortable to me if we delayed it a bit.

That makes my start time 5am and my finish time 7am. But if that's the only time you can come I'll drink some extra cups of coffee.

No no no. If that is the case then don't worry, I'll perfectly do with the 19:20 time. God Wilson, it's a game. No matter how much vaporization there is going to be, I certainly don't want to vaporize your brain.

By the way, you never got to answer the last pm I sent you.

This is the list of confirmed players for Sunday.

mshcherbatskaya
Qayin
Divinegon
Spartan Banana
Teafo

If you can't make this one there will always be next time.

What time on Sunday?

Spartan Bannana:

So same time next week?

This was awesome. What an (expected) twist.

Alright, I am not free at Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 20-23pm GMT time on each mentioned day. Also, I believe I will not be free Thursday and Saturday, although I am not sure. But don't count on it.

Every other time, I believe I am free.

PS: Not as easy to coerce with the computer as I thought. Heh.

So that was pretty much amazing! Wilson, thank you for staying up so late to GM it.

Here's my work schedule for this coming week (all times are GMT -8 or Pacific Standard Time):
Monday: 5pm-11pm
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: 5pm-11pm
Friday: 5pm-11pm
Saturday: 11am-7pm
Sunday: 11am-7pm

any time not listed here I can play. If we are going to do another 2 hour block, or longer, please allow for that time and one half hour for me to drive to work. (example: I work at 5pm, the game will be a two hour play session, therefore, as long as we begin before 2:30 my time, I will be able to play).

Thanks for showing up folks, sorry if it was a little confusing at first. I needed to make sure that you all take turns talking. It's not like tabletop because of reaction time.

I'll put a list of good times together. I will also upload a log to my blog so you can read back over it.

Here is the log: http://escapeparanoia.blogspot.com/2008/08/log_31.html

My work schedule (GMT -8 or Pacific Standard Time)

8:30am-5:30pm - Mon-Fri
Saturday and Sunday are wide open.

I am free anytime tomorrow and Tuesday.

Wednesday-Friday, if a three hour game, I'm free to START at 6-9 PM, overall I'm free from 6-12, so latest starting time for me would be 9PM.

Saturday I'm free all day.

Not free till Sunday night, same time as weekdays.

So I think I speak for all when I say:

What the hell was up with the question and exclamation marks constantly popping up?

So, is anyone going to tell those of us who can't fit the game into their schedules what happened?

Zemalac:

Just read the log Wilson posted in his last post here.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that.

I'm good any time on the weekends

Can someone give me a short version of events? I dont have time to read through the comments unfortaunetly.

Fine, here's the short version, lazy froob;

-Everyone except Mshcher arrives on time in the UXE Sector, where we are to be briefed regarding our mission. Mshcher has to run to the UXE sector, and by the time she does she is exhausted and feeling very unwell; she starts to puke.

-The line is incredibly long, and therefore after employing a variety of different methods, from shouting 'There's a bomb in the line' to vomiting over everyone, to pushing over guards, the team start a riot and then simply go inside.

-No one has their papers, we all blame Teafo, except Spartan, who was ordered to blame Teafo.

-Teafo leaves the mission brief early, we blame Teafo, and call him a communist traitor.

-Some silly fool gives us a brief; he tells us we're to...crap, I THINK we're supposed to be recovering some citizen from R & D and some robot he's taken with him, and this silly briefing fool didn't give us this man's name, so after I'd basically explained why that would end in me reporting him, I learnt his name, and passed it on to Divine; Patric-O-DUL

-Teafo makes some tiny mistakes, we all blame him for it, repeatedly, especially when he says he is the 'equipment guy' when he obviously isn't, and then when I suggest that Teafo cannot be trusted, a burning smell was smelt by smellers, and it turned out I had been somehow set on fire.

-I scream at Teafo, whilst the incompetent berks that are my team pour coffee on me, decide whether or not they should help me, then pretty much extinguish my corpse; one clone down for me.

-I scream at Teafo.

-I scream at Teafo a bit more.

-I question why I am set on fire when I scream at Teafo.

-I call Teafo a traitor and a mutant, Divine and Mshcher whole-heartedly agree, and Divine orders Spartan to agree as well, for numerous reasons, we proclaim Teafo a traitor.

-The Computer investigates this, but finds no evidence of unregistered mutated powers in Teafo; probably because the cheeky git spent all his PP on it to make the Computer's roll fail.

-We question the Computer's logic...the Computer asks if we are questioning its logic, and we say we aren't. Computer deems us all to be unhappy, and gives us happy pills.

-We all take happy pills.

-We are all happy.

-Happiness is manditory.

-Teafo feels sick, and vomits. We are too happy to blame him for this.

-Mshcher invents the word 'Bunny', as no one has ever seen a bunny before, this makes her very funny.

-Mscher repeatedly shouts out bunny.

-Mscher interrupts people by shouting bunny.

-We all discuss the word bunny.

-Happy pills start to wear off.

-We become aware that it is not very funny that Teafo has gotten sick all over himself and the floor. As Cleanliness Officer I accuse him of pollution. Divine accuses him of not being happy enough, and Mshcher accuses him of both of those things, and continues to put bunny in her sentences.

-The Computer investigates...again, and after failing to find Teafo a traitor...again, a Scrubot finds two Happy pills that have not been swallowed.

-I suggest that the two pills were regurgitated by Teafo, and that he is both guilty of pollution AND not taking his pills.

-The Computer deems that the pills are Divine's, who must now take these pills.

-The pills are covered in saliva and vomit; they are quite obviously Teafo's, the traitor that he is.

-Divine takes the pills under orders from The Computer.

If you want a REALLY short version;

-Teafo is a commie mutant assassin traitor who set me on fire and killed me.

Qayin, you just made my day with that whole summary. Good show for exhibiting a far more acute sense of wittiness than my own.

Now, I really have to find the movies Wilson recommended, because I feel like I wasn't really up to par in the game and some good research on the whole atmosphere on the game through movies maybe would help me.

Really? I felt you were the MOST convincing in your role - you certainly ordered Spartan about with efficiency and an air of pompous authority.

I actually thought you'd played Paranoia before...does NO ONE know what they're doing?!

I didn't even play a tabletop game before this session in my whole life, hah. It's like I said to Mshcher, who also had no idea what she was doing: I just roleplayed and hoped for the best.

So I'm guessing that's the secret to playing Paranoia: Not knowing what the heck you're doing.

Anyways, I digress. Not sure if Wilson minds us discussing about the game in this thread. Actually, I'm quite afraid to do anything in fear of my character being vaporized right now as some kind of sick pre-punishment for my actions here.

It's not like Wilson didn't make me initiate with my second clone since I clicked the orange clearance link before finding out that I actually was given an orange clearance character, ack! (Albeit, he did allow me to start with my first clone in the actual game)

And as my 5th edit note: I still hold record for making people confused on when was Wilson talking through my mouth or not. Hah hah. Even if the same happened with others but shut up.

I certainly don't know what I'm doing, I just followed orders

Damn, now I want the next game to start...

As long as Teafo doesn't set me on fire this time, that is.

Yeah, this was fun, but we gotta wait a week I suppose

So no feedback from wilson? The premise was to entertain him as much as we entertained ourselves.

Also, I haven't been in The Escapist since the beginning so is anyone able to tell me how many times wilson actually changed his avatar?

PS: Finally watching Brazil. VeohTV is of use after all.

Sorry, been working on my lesson plans, not really enough time right now to give meaningful feedback.

Avatar: Let's see, I had a pic of myself for a while, a patapon character, then I had the Chinese Redguard avatar. After that I did the bulldog for a couple months, followed by the Labour Day poster, and now the Halloween poster. Plan is to do one for each major holiday in a communist theme. I can't wait for Columbus day.

uh columbus day communism? I'm a little intrigued...

Qayin, for the last time, I'm not responsible for any fires!!!! HAHAHA I know it's all in good fun, and excellent RPing, I found myself literally laughing hysterically in the lounge at the nearby university where I'm using the internet while reading your short version of events.

glad to see I made such an impression on the game I guess... Hope to get in another session soon :)
