Good morning, citizens! I have good news, and even better news! The good news is, you have been selected by the Department of Family-Friendly Entertainment to compete in Room 25, our wacky-larious new entertainment program from the citizens who brought you Chainsaw Dodge! Winners will be given six bites each of real I Can't Believe It's Not Cauliflower vegetable substitute, while losers will have their deaths recorded and documented for Room 25 Highlights Reel #431A-7: Help, I Can't Find My Spine! So, there are no losers, as least not among loyal citizens! You may have noticed you're no longer wearing your standard INFRARED jumpsuit, and instead are wearing different colors to make it easier for the audience to tell you apart! Wearing colors above your clearance level is treason, and the punishment is summary execution, but here's the even better news! Your Friend Computer has decided, in its infinite grace, mercy, and wisdom, to forgo your execution, and instead allow you permanent employment as a Department of Family-Friendly Entertainment Performer! So long as you continue to be Family-Friendly Entertaining, you will be cloned after any unfortunate deaths that may occur during performances, so you can keep starring in Room 25 for as long as the sdfsajjsdfhfs///****fd-0-sss fickle, ungrateful, drugged up- citizens remain entertained! Your first perfomance begins in ten minutes! Aren't you happy, citizen? Remember, happiness is mandatory!  What is this? Room 25 is a board game, taking- you know what? Clockwork Gadget described it very well in his thread for the game, so I'm just gonna quote that! Clockwork Gadget posted:Welcome to Room 25. What's Room 25? Good question! It's a board game that I do not own, have never played, am not even sure is available to purchase yet, and only discovered less than 24 hours ago. Like his game, this will also be a six-player Suspicion game. How this game will be different, however, is in a handful of (important) ways. First, everything has been given a Paranoia reskin. Familiarity with Paranoia is not required, but might help! Second, there's nothing worse than a boring game, so at the end of every round, Friend Computer will make a single Control action. It might help, it might hurt, it might be completely random! And third, I will be using the Expert set-up for Suspicion mode. What does this mean? In short, it means that, like all Paranoia, you should not apply if you're going to be playing to win. Instead, this will be about the spectacle, the dark comedy, the schadenfreude of pushing someone into an incineration chamber, and then bungling into one yourself! If you'd still like to play, I'm going to need a contact method (In order of preference: Skype, PMs, e-mail), three choices for characters (purely cosmetic!) and a dark sense of humor! The characters are... THE SCIENTIST - Frank-N-STN (White)  THE NERD - Tate-O-POE-Tahto (Green)  THE DUDE - Juan-2-B-U-LVA (Blue)  THE BIMBO - Ashley-P-T-SMT (Yellow)  THE COLOSSUS - Pit-T-PRN-CIS (  THE LITTLE GIRL - Dan (Purple)  Six people will be selected randomly from the applicants. However, if you are accepted to Clockwork's game, you'll probably be passed up for this one. Edit Dunno what I was thinking with the previous method. Random it is! --- ...and, per the usual for me...   If at any point, I do not make at least one in-game post for a week without prior notice, I will eat a ban.

Hell yes I will play the gently caress out of this. I've got PMs. Don't really care too much about character, but I guess Scientist, Colossus and Little Girl in that order of preference.

Two shots at playing this game sounds good for me. Friend Computer is an excellent addition as well. As for characters, White, Purple, Blue. Just to maximize my chances of execution.

This might be jumping the gun a bit, but dammit, I'm excited. Our six loyal citizens are: apostateCourier as Dan Ashenai as Tate-O-POE-Tahto Malkar as Juan-2-B-U-LUVA Pierzak as Frank-N-STN Tenjou Utena as Ashley-P-T-SMT xopods as Pit-T-PRN-CSS Just as a reminder, no out-of-thread communication. And, when you LOOK, you are allowed to share the room's Color, but NOTHING MORE. (You are, of course, allowed to lie about its color, but only a dirty commie mutant traitor would do that!) Role PMs and the first map post will be going up shortly. First turn first action will happen as soon as I have everyone's. (I'll provide a quick summary of the movements in the first map post.)

Do we have clearance to say that a room we looked into is Room 25? Or to know about Room 25? Or to talk about Room 25?

Doing so in any other way is treason! ------ Ding-dong! Attention. It is now 10:30 AM. Turning on vid-screens. "Good morning, loyal citizens! Have you all had your prescribed 10:30 AM pills? Of course you have, not doing so would be treason! Hahaha! "I'm your host, Johnny-B-GUD, and it's time for every loyal citizen's favorite Family-Friendly Entertainment For Mid-Late Mornings, Room-25! For those of you who are watching for the first time, make sure to thank your Friend Computer for kindly granting you the wonderful vid-screen, and the luxury to choose your own station from all the delightful and exciting options it has provided for us! In fact, you can thank him right now, because here he is!" Hello, citizens. Are you all feeling especially happy and loyal today? "Of course, Friend Computer! I know you infrared sometimes have trouble remembering things, so I'll explain the rules! Six loyal Infrared citizens, like yourselves, have twenty minutes to navigate the Family-Friendly Death-Trap-Cube, find their way to Room 25, and navigate it out of the Cube! If they succeed, they'll be given six bites each of real I Can't Believe It's Not Cauliflower vegetable substitute!" Buy some now. Only a communist wouldn't. You're not a communist, are you? "Haha, of course not! I bought forty cases just this morning! I am so lucky to have Friend Computer allow me to purchase so many items! Ah, and if our contestants are not-so-lucky, they run out of time, or two loyal citizen's lives are lost, it's game over, and their prize is instead the tortuously painful death that comes with depressurization! Sometimes, their eyes even explode!" Highlights can be seen on Best of Room 25 Volume #F85F-E: Exciting Explosions and Impeccable Implosions. Get yours now. NOW, citizen. "And you'd better hurry, too, because the game is about to begin! Clock's ticking!" Game Board  Updated with coordinates and to look less like rear end. Countdown, Turn Order and Loyalties  Actions All players register two actions ahead of time, which are then interpreted in order, one action per player in turn order. If you only register one action, you may choose whether to use it during your first or second go around. You cannot choose the same action twice in the same turn. Exception: Dirty Commie Mutant Traitors (Guards) may, at any time, reveal their status to all other players. From that moment on, they need not register their actions ahead of time, and may instead choose them the moment their turn comes up. They still cannot choose the same action twice in the same turn. Even Commie Mutant Traitors have standards... supposedly. Look - Gain knowledge of what one of the four adjacent rooms is. This knowledge is private. All you are allowed to share is the room's Danger Level (Green, Yellow, or Red). Move - Enter one of the four adjacent rooms. It is revealed to all players, and remains that way for the rest of the game. The effects of the room happen immediately. Push - Move a character standing in the same room into an adjacent room, as if they had Moved into it. You cannot push out of the Central Room, but you can push into it. Control - Move a line of rooms that includes your current room one row horizontally or vertically. The Center Room can not be moved, and a row may be move multiple times per turn, but only in one direction. (You can't undo someone else's Control on the same turn they make it.) At the end of every round, Friend Computer will also make a single Control action. Reminder - At any point during your turn, you may place your Reminder Token on any unrevealed room on the board. The token remains there until the room is revealed. (This doesn't count as an action.) Why you place it is up to you! --- The first round begins as soon as I get everyone's two actions!

Friend Computer has wisely set the contestants against each other before the timer has even started. Truly it will be a great entertainment to watch the Commie Mutant Traitors go for the throats of one another; exactly as entertaining as the contestants - wisely chosen by Friend Computer for their propensity toward Communism, Mutation, and Treachery - also going for the throats of one another! I will be sure to buy this episode of Room-25 tomorrow on FriendTunes, as well as the uncut DVD release of the full season!

apostateCourier posted:Can't push out of the center room, xopods, sorry (1) OF COURSE I KNEW THAT. I was just gauging your reaction!  (2) More seriously, of course I believe you it's red. Neither alignment would lie about that now, with Ashenai able to call you out if you were lying. Unless you're both commie mutant traitors, of course. My whole point is that you chose to peek at the same room he did so he can confirm to everyone that you're telling the truth, and to throw that information out there right off the bat, before everyone else has even peeked at their rooms. Which I think is total LAMISNACMT*. (*: Look At Me I'm So Not A Commie Mutant Traitor)
