Treasonous thoughts and concepts make citizens unhappy.

Mutants, color divisions, the Computer, Alpha Complex...It's obvious now.<br /><br />Are you suggesting that the Computer might lie? I am reporting you for treason.

Or maybe the surprise reveal in Paranoia is that there really, really is no outside - the Computer wasn't actually lying to you at all.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589165667013235064.post-43271686025691194322011-12-12T02:21:43.810-05:002011-12-12T02:21:43.810-05:00Reading these posts it becomes immediately apparen...Reading these posts it becomes immediately apparent both where MA and Paranoia come from. MA's a surprise reveal halfway through a campaign, which probably started out as "what if the whole world were a megadungeon and there was no outside?" Paranoia's "what if the Warden were Earth?"richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.com
