Paranoia - Interest Check

This is an interest check for Paranoia, the classic role playing game of treachery and treason. Beginners are welcome. Would anyone like to play?

So how exactly does this work? Sorry if you already explained this, but I must have missed it. In any case, I'm interested.

In terms of how playing it would work, I figured it would be like any other forum roleplay but with the GM (probably me) rolling dice occasionally and P Ms being used for secret actions.

If you want to know how the game works, here is a link to a pretty good quick summary. The Tvtropes page is also pretty good background reading. No players need rulebooks because the rules are above your security clearance.

UPDATE: The short summary I was looking for is no longer online, but another good introduction is available here: {{http://www.scribd.com/doc/125742955/PARANOIA}}

Yo, I have often been interested in Paranoia.

I haven't played a tabletop game with anyone before, but the game sounds fun. I shall put my vote in as maybe.

I would be happy to GM. The only question is whether we should agree on a time and do the whole game at once, or do it long form like most forum games.

Yeah, I'd like to play, but I'm not sure when I'd be available. I'm going to be busy with school and everything, so it might be hard to find time to do this. But, like I said, I'd love to play.

Oooh, this looks like fun. Sign me up as a maybe depending on time

4 players is the minimum and 6 is the ideal.

Well, we seem to have the 4 at least

Interest!

I'd like to try it out, but I'm a beginner and also I may have time troubles, at least until next week (or the week after that one). But, anyways, I'd like to try.

It is totally fine if you are a beginner. As this game is relatively obscure, most people have never played it before.

Never heard of this game before, haven't read up on what it is yet, and I am oh-so going to say I'm interested.

What's the fun is knowing stuff, anyway?

Total beginner having read some of the good Paranoia threads from various RPG sites expressing interest here.

Okay I read up on what Paranoia is all about and my interest has gone up ten-fold.

Is this a thing that's still happening, actually? Because the latest post from the person who made this was 3 days ago...

I'll give it a whirl, I guess.

Yes! This is a thing that will soon happen. I've been trying to figure out how it will work. Do you want to agree on a time and play the game all together in one sitting, or do it over the course of a while like most forum RP Gs?

I like the one sitting at a specific time.

The former sounds good, but would it just be a one-shot session or will there be more?

I'd prefer the second one but I could work my schedule around the first if necessary

I mean either one sounds good, but the first method might capture the craziness better.

...that's a good point. I hadn't considered that

I think the former may be good, but then we'd all need to figure out a time we can all be on, and I think that will be kinda hard. Oh, I was reading that link you showed us, and will you hand us characters or will we make ours?
