Do you think they still have sports in Alpha Complex? If so what kind?

| FunBall is the all-purpose sport, though there are also various informal corridor- and mess-hall-based competitions (Tray Hurl, Kick the Scrubot). There's a free download on the Mongoose PARANOIA site about "Elective Activities and Pursuits Clubs," a chapter by Gareth Hanrahan originally cut for space from The Traitor's Manual and eventually printed in Extreme PARANOIA. That chapter goes into a bit more detail about sports and other leisure pursuits. Link, link... ah well, some loyal citizen will doubtless scramble to post the link and earn a shiny new commendation point. |

That's GAMMA, not GANJA.

| There is funball, vat swimming and corridor jogging but you can make it more extreme such as racing autohacks ( Typical deathmobiles and the winner is the one who convinces their hack's bots brain to override what laughable safety commands the most to gain the speed and to cut off other hacks at the last second), hand grenade tossing and gladiator matches between vulture warriors. |

Auto racing? Dammit, my brain's gone off on another idea for my GenCon 2009 adventure...

And that completely loyal citizen of up-and-coming clearance color would be me, this time: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/parasocialclubs.pdf

| Offers of commendation points generally expire after 90 days, per updated CPU-IntSec Cross-group Central Coordinating Citizen Commendation Control Committee guidelines, citizen Zach-O-RLY, but the CCCCCCCC will form a temporary ad hoc working group to look into the matter and report back to you in the fullness of time. |

Has the committee considered improving its self-nominating efficiency by shortening their name to C8, much like the firms of Bouncy Bubble Beverage (B3) and Percussively Potent Potables (P3) have done?
*goes on a 3-day quest to find the suggestion box*

| Actually, the suggestion box is right next to you. However, the line to use said suggestion box ends somewhere in PLM sector. |
