Hehe that reminds me of the time I got HOOC in another game and with it a promotion. The next game session the GM forgot how high I had been promoted and I out ranked the guy giving the mission briefing. So on behalf of my team I ordered him to go do the mission.

So I shoot with a red laser at a yellow suit? Ha! I don't know the combat rules, but that sounds like my shot just makes *piff*.

Actually, I don't think the color of the suits and lasers makes a difference in this game, unless I missed that part of the rules.

The following is completely out of character as I in character have no understanding of the rules in any way and am not a traitor.

Red reflec offers resistance of E1. But only against red lasers.

Yellow offers E1 resistance vs red orange and yellow lasers.

Uh, I was delaying posting, to see how the GM would handle my laser shot? Because a) I really have no clue about the finer details of the rules, and b), I thought the GM would handle most rolls in a Paranoia game anyway.
But while I waited on the GM the other posts rolled on, and resolving a shot now that actually happened 10 posts ago might be awkward...

GM? How do you want to handle this?

I'm thinking either A, you missed, B, I dodged,C I'm standing there with a burn or ,D, it's all that mutants fault and we should kill him. For the computer!

I am opting for D! Tomorrow - now I am groggy and have to go to sleep. 'Night everyone!

Okay, at first Fletch fired, but a later post makes it look like he faked it.  I started to go with actual firing, in which case he actually got a critical hit and maimed Rob so that he could not use his right hand (for shooting, shaking hands, pushing buttons, etc.), but then the next post I saw apparently has Fletch not really firing, so I adjusted accordingly.  Technically, no "effects" happen until I post.  It's a little harder when there is conversation and intervening actions.

However, there is also no turning back the clock, so once people respond, the move should not be edited or changed.  The point is that in real life, once you do something, you don't have hours to contemplate your move and decide between best moves, so if it's posted, it's the same as your character doing the action, even if it turns out not to be the wisest course.

I gave a little leeway on this one because it's a gray area.

Well, mostly I backpedalled because you didn't comment on the laser shot, the others simply posted on, and I didn't want the situation to continue hanging unresolved in the air.
(Daaarn, a crit!)

Next time we can handle it better. :/

Fletch is on the table now, huh? Joy.

Sorry for my silence. I got called away on an emergency and was traveling, and then went right into Thanksgiving dinner.  We can get this game jumpstarted again...

Sorry for the delays.  I had to tweak the secret society messages and instructions.  The cast and circumstances have changed.  Enjoy--and don't forget about your secret societies and secret mutations.

Hey, everyone.  Sorry for my delays.  Family emergency over the holidays, and I had to go off grid for awhile to take care of things.

Happy new year, all! I'm still here and game.

Still here, some how.

Sir Terry Pratchett, renowned fantasy author, dies aged 66.

Some one please find the happiness officer. I think I actually want a mood stabilizer.

I'm with you on that one.

Hey, all, sorry for my delays.  I had some metaphorical explosions at work that had me working 12-14 hour days and traveling all around California over the last 3 weeks or so.  But I think it's settling down and I should be back to normal posting.

Please be prepared to start posting regularly again by Monday.  I think the R&D section will be interesting and allow for some fun roleplaying.

Okay, sorry for the delays everyone.  I have been pretty much off the grid for about 10 days on vacation.  I hope we have not lost anyone.  I thought I posted here that I would be out, but now I'm not seeing the post.  (That's how hectic it was!)  Anyway, give me a day to get my senses back and I'll start posting again tomorrow.  Thanks for all your patience and continued postings in service to The Computer.

Again, sorry for the delays.  Coming back off vacation means coming to a mountain of work that gets piled on top of me.

I'm a little concerned that we haven't seen any posting...Is everyone still here?

Here. Just dunno what to do with a locked keypad other than record holo-vid of our failed attempt to open it. We could break it to override, but that would be damaging Computer property, punishable by fines or death if I remember correctly. So I'll record our Equipment Guy working on it if possible. Do we even have an EQ Guy?

Hmm...seem to remember someone once told your group to remember a number.

Damn, ...have to go to work in twenty minutes.
Somebody needs to do a read through and find that code!!

If not done when I get home late tonight (early tomorrow morning) I'll do it.

Here.

I was camping the past holiday week. Now back... in the future, you may NPC Vilfred when functionally necessary. Y'all didn't need her to OK attacking that thing. ^_^
