This will be the last in my experimental 'new forms' for making Paranoia™ a forum friendly game. This time you are in charge of a Secret Society.
No there aren't any boring budgets it's down to your leadership and vision.
1/First in best dressed. The first poster to claim a SS gets it.
2/The elimination of another SS head is entirely possible.
3/Winner is last clone standing.
4/There will be around a week between each 'impulse' during this time players may interact extensively but the results of actions will not be determined until the end of the week.
5/There will be no equipment restrictions but neither will equipment be explicitly issued or catalogued.
6/Power gaming in as far as it unfairly disrupts the flow of the game will be BRUTALLY supressed. The mechanism for this is the weekly impulse resolution. You can try any amount of overpowered stuff but until the GM says it happenned it was only a psychopathic fantasy. Oh and entertain or die. I'll probably be using that as a modifier.
7/Beyond this the actual mechanics of the game are deliberately obscure. Hint: If you aren't trying a bunch of strategies then you will probably not do very well.
8/All non player SS's will be active and played by The GM. I'll try really hard not to win  , but can be interacted with.
From the sandbox OP and consolodated here - 9/I expect that extensive use of PMs is going to be required. As the site has a very strict policy about PM privacy I ask that all EP4 game related mails be sent with the header EP4 - and are copied to The GM.

I'll try for it, and as I don't have any marathon family holidays/trips I should be able to stay an active participant.
I claim Pro-Tech, please.

You read my mind! (Get out of my mind, you filthy stinking mutie!)
For the last week or two, I have been thinking about asking permission to run this very mechanic in 1d4 months (Real life permitting - anticipating things will calm down in that time frame to allow me to commit the needed time,) in the cMail Forum Game area as a hybrid variant (more direct player interaction between cMail turns,) to pull in some of the good parts of the IC Forum Game that I so thoroughly enjoyed.
TRIPLE thumbs up!
. o O Vat it! I forgot to register that mutation that gave me three thumbs...

Episode 4 seems to be designed with the flexibility to participate in whichever way(s) you feel you would most enjoy; Whether you want to be more interactive with frequent "Phase IV type roleplay" posts and Interplayer PM's for secret goings-on, or you have limited time to participate and simply an occassional "Violet diary/Episode 3" type summary is more to your liking, I think you'd be welcome to mix and match play styles as desired... So - hop in!
(Yes- that means YOU! Join in the fun today - you know you want to! Hope the Studio/taping subplot gets additional player activity - I think it's an opportunity to have some fun and Make Interesting Stuff Happen!)
Is there a point where additional players will be disallowed from joining Episode 4?
(Edited for brevity)

I am going to have to leave this current episode, as the biological waste has hit the atmospheric propellers.
My sincerest apologies.
All hail Friend Computer |
