Paranoia
Subject description: A 'roleplay' of mind games.
If you don't know what Paranoia is, it's really a tabletop RPG type game, but it can work on forums since I'm playing in one right now as a participant. The premise is that a group of people are tossed into some unknown place. None of them know each other, none know why they're there and they have two clones so each character has three lives. Since I'm running it, I'm just the GM and simply provide the obstacles and the players take care of the rest. It's basically a gigantic mind game and everyone is probably going to die, but it's intense and quite lively.
Characters can be whatever you want, but no superpowers or supernatural abilities. Prefer to just be humans only. I could be cruel and add something, but we'll do a straight Paranoia run.
We've never had proper Roleplay/Mafia/etc. Games here at PPM. Sure, why not. Though you better be patient as I doubt many visit the site daily. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

I visit multiple times daily, just to check up on any topics. However almost everything is for the older games or for some mod for those old games, so I don't have any interest to respond to them. QUICK_EDIT
Nope. There are no ponies at all. This is humans only so no Dutchy, sorry. No cyborgs. If there's some interest, post a very basic char sheet with things like name, age, appearance but do not post personality. That becomes a huge part of the mindfuckery. _________________ Discord: princess_marisa

Meh, dunno. Sounds interesting, but my english sucks -> can't describe very well. And I don't know if I would fit in it, anyway _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
English doesn't need to be top notch so join. I'll provide the descriptions of everything anyway. You guys just do the acting. _________________ Discord: princess_marisa

The point is jumping right in because that's how it begins. If you all want to play, post your characters in here and I'll begin the real thing. _________________ Discord: princess_marisa

I'll observe this from the side, but if you do succeed in making this work, I will have some respect towards you, FQ. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT

Ever played a roleplaying game? Dungeons and Dragons, Munchkin, Diablo, Skyrim or even NetHack?
Those are a fair way from what we've got here, but the basic thoughts behind them are much the same; the exploration, ingenuity, and cheating. The characters are ours, the story is up to the GM.
You've got FurryQueen, who is the GM - the M is for Master and I expect that the G is for Game (He's the Game Master, for those who have trouble with sentences). He provides the narrative, much like in an old text adventure ("You are in a dark room, there is a vent on the far wall through which you can see light and hear echoing shouts. You can move north and east"), and gives the players the scenarios to face and perhaps even some of the tools.
Then of course you have us, the players. We have to work out how to deal with these challenges based mostly on the laws of what ever reality we're in. That's the easy part. We've also got to put up with each other.
Apart from that, FurryQueen will have to explain the specifics or put me right on things I've got wrong. QUICK_EDIT

Awww... I could see a six inch tall man being of great tactical use in any situation requiring someone to fit into a small space. Hey, my character could have built a nice little cage for you to travel in. It would have been great. QUICK_EDIT

Don't worry. Gufu seems to still be only 6 inches tall. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
There a turn order? Anything like that?
Been awhile since I last forum-rped. :3
Is there a limit on actions per turn? D:
I normally text-roleplay where everything is one action per sentence, but because it's not turn-based, the faster typer usually wins. xD
I also do a form of "forum-based" but that's hard to explain. xD QUICK_EDIT
Nope. No limits. You can do pretty much whatever, but keep it reasonable. There's no order or anything but pay attention to where things go. _________________ Discord: princess_marisa
