Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness for Straight, Classic, and Zap. I haven't played the game so I'm not sure what to say under the heading.

By pure chance I found this AMV.

Sheesh, after reading the article, and its various tropes, it sounds like the world is so dystopian that you can't go one day — no, one second — without committing an act of treason, whether you know it or not.

Realizing the hopelessness of your situation is a privilege restricted to Green clearance and above. Please report to the nearest termination booth at your leisure.

So, uh, treason aside, what exactly was so bad about Fifth Edition? Bile Fascination demands an explanation.

The trope list is above your clearance level, obviously.

In all seriousness it might be a pretty good idea to have a list, though.

This is a very in-jokey page. I like it for the humor value but it's very opaque to someone who's not really into hovering over blue links.

As (I hope) a compromise between clarity and maintaining the spirit of the page, I have assembled a standard links list and put it under "trivia", with a explicit link to it at the bottom of the main page.

You, sir, deserve 50,000 points.

Without descriptions, it's still boring. You shouldn't sacrifice informing people curious about the game for the sake of an in-joke, elaborate as it is.

Conversations about Paranoia always seem to turn into impromptu games of Paranoia, so it's not really surprising that tropes about Paranoia follow suit.

This game is awesome and I don't even know the rules. Because that's treason.

I just dislike the lack of trope examples. I know it is very troperific, but still, can someone be actually bothered to make actual examples, or would that require using presicely 164703065 wicks?
