Paranoia mini-game: Musical Chairs!

Paranoia mini-game: Musical Chairs!

(Stolen from another website)

As a warm up for the Paranoia mafia game (starting next week!) I thought I'd try this mini-game. I'll start the thread after we recieve at least 5 players, or at noon PST.

The skinny: The game starts with the thread closed.

You are all assembled in a waiting room, waiting eagerly for your admission into the breifing room nearby. Working for the Computer is such fun. You can only speculate about the upcomming mission with joy and excitement.

Being a Paranoia game one by one you will sneak into the brefiing room and have a look at the chairs. There is one chair for each player. PM me an action, which can be ONE of these:

EXAMINE a chair, to see if it's booby trapped. The answer is yes/no.
DISSARM a chair: this removes ONE device from a chair.
TRAP a chair: this places ONE device on a chair.
SWITCH NUMBER: This allows you to change the numbers of two chairs.

When the thread opens, you will post in bold, which chair you are sitting in. You must sit in a chair.

You may post conversation in this thread.

Round 1 will start after we get enough players AND as soon as all the players have sent me their initial actions.

The cadets filed into the room for their mission briefing. Where should they sit? They were fairly certain someone had it in for them. One by one they grabbed their seats. One of them smiled, knowing they had removed the device from their seat, avoiding a potentially messy death. A few looked around, disappointed that they still had competition. They'd have to figure out another way to kill each other off it seems.

NOTHING HAPPENED!

Because no one died this round (inconceivable!) the following round players can only:

DISARM a chair: this removes ONE device from a chair.
TRAP a chair: this places ONE device on a chair.

There are 6 chairs left. PM me your actions!

[anonym0use]

Please note: one person's actions have been randomized as they did not respond in a timely manner. I'm opening the thread to keep the game moving.

The briefing room meeting wasn't what they hoped. They talked, debated, and deliberated and at the end of the day had only agreed on where to hold their next meeting. That evening a few unsavory members slipped into the meeting room.


The next morning they milled about the room, waiting for the Commanding Officer to arrive and start the meeting.

TEN-HUT! A man in uniform walked around the corner, pulled out a pistol.

Take your seats you sissy commie sympathizers!

The C.O. fired shots at the Troubleshooter's feet to emphasize the point. They raced into the room to sit down.


There are 6 chairs.

Chair 1
Chair 2
Chair 3
Chair 4
Chair 5
Chair 6

Please post where you are sitting. Flavor text is optional, but encouraged. :)

*Checks roster*

*fails to see Batfink's name on mini-game roster*

*shoots Batfink*

Batfink is dead. He was executed for failing to follow orders which is considered treason. Remember Citizens, all treasonous activity is to be comitted in front of the cameras. :) Be happy! The computer is your friend! Trust the computer!




















Now would be a good time to point out that you can only play if you signed up. Heh. :laugh: Next time you can play. :laugh:

The Troubleshooter cadets filed into the room, nervous, and not wanting to be the last person to sit down. The sound of sizzling bacon filled the room as smoke poured out from beneath one of the seats. Smoke soon poured out of the chair occupant's ears. Unfortunately for the others the smell was not as pleasant as bacon.

TAK has died! Fried up like breakfast meat!

Relieved that they were spared the cadets breathed a sigh of relief. One leaned back in his chair and grimaced as he heard a loud *click.* With lightning speed the chair he was sitting in telescoped towards the ceiling.

Morpheusdream3r has died! His brains made a lovely Jackson Pollack on the ceiling tiles.

Alarmed, but not deterred, the Commanding Officer paged Sanitation to send a scrub bot right away to mop up the mess. He then proceeded with a slide show presentation titled:

"There is no 'I' in Meatballs (but there is an 'm' and an 'e')"

Four chairs remain!

Moving on to the next round are:

Ignatz_Mouse -
Hellskingpin -
Antipathy
Get_1


PM me your actions.

Pick any one of these four:

EXAMINE a chair, to see if it's booby trapped. The answer is yes/no.
DISSARM a chair: this removes ONE device from a chair.
TRAP a chair: this places ONE device on a chair.
SWITCH NUMBER: This allows you to change the numbers of two chairs.


As always, good luck!

[theanalogkid]

I knew family time would kill me. I just didn't didn't know how. Thanks for the warm-up, 'Mouse.

[anonym0use]

And... one person did not send me an action, so I randomized it...


The cadets rushed into the room, cautious and wary after yesterday's events. They tried not to notice the new-funcar air freshner mingling with the scent of burnt troubleshooter. Taking their seats, they avoided looking up at the faded pink and yellow stain on the ceiling. BOOM! The door flew open smacking the wall and the Commanding Officer barged in yelling!

ALLRIGHT MAGGOTS! LISSEN UP! I know you'll be disapointed to hear that today's debreifing will be cut short on account of a 1014.35 happening in corridor 593 sub junction t-48 right now! Head down to the armory and equip yourselves to deal with the hositles. MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!

The cadets hustled out of the room, relieved they would live another day.


NO ONE HAS DIED!


Because no one has died this round (I'm a little disapointed!!) the following round players can only:

DISARM a chair: this removes ONE device from a chair.
TRAP a chair: this places ONE device on a chair.

There are 4 chairs left.


PM me your actions!

[anonym0use]

I just skipped to the nitty gritty. No point in making you take the seats if no one was going to die.

[anonym0use]

The Troubleshooter cadets returned to the room, weary and tired, failing to find the 1014.35 happening in corridor 593 sub junction t-48. They failed, mostly because they didn't have security clearance to pass through the adjoining corridor of 592 to even get to the sub junction in 593. Add to the fact that they got lost (some of them argued the Commanding Officer had said corridor 539) and that they were delayed because Get_1 needed to stop by the funtaco vend-bot, they never really had a chance anyway.

So here they were, back at the room, waiting for the C.O. to return and lambast them. The cadets heard his thundering footsteps, and could smell his cheap cologne. He rounded the corner, and pulled out his pistol, prepared to fire it at their feet again, but they were wise to him, and rushed into the room before he could get a shot off.


GAME ON! - gentlemen, take your seats!

There are 4 chairs remaining. PLease post where you are sitting.
Chair 1
Chair 2
Chair 3
Chair 4

[Ignatz_Mouse]

Chair two, please!

[hellskingpin]

chair 4!!!

[Antipathy]

Seat 1 please.

[get_1]

Well, I'm left with Seat 3.

As long as it's not...DEATH CHAIR!

[anonym0use]

The cadets hurried into the room.

Ignatz_Mouse didn't have time to ponder where to sit, although he knew where not to sit. He crossed his fingers and sat in chair 2.

Hellskingpin held his breath as he sat down to chair 4, oblivious to the small bomb strapped beneath it. The bomb ignited, and Hellskingpin was no more.

Antipathy saw that someone was in the seat he disarmed! He raced for another position, hoping to find it free of harm. After a few seconds of silence he thought he was safe until a piano fell on top of him and Antipathy was no more. How did he not see that?

Get_1 hurried into the room seconds before the piano dropped and the bomb went off. He sat down in the last chair, hoping that he'd picked the right one. He reached for a complimentary pretzel and reclined, failing to see the razor sharp neckrest. Get_1 is no more!


Congratulations to Ignatz_Mouse who has won the game!


Thanks for playing one and all!

[Ignatz_Mouse]

Don't you mean Ignatz Mouse? !

[Antipathy]

Congratulations to TAK who has won the game!


Thanks for playing one and all!

Looks like TAK somehow was able to switch Ignatz and himself before he "died". The sneaky bastard. :laugh:

And you stole my chair, Ignatz. Grr.

[get_1]

*Le sigh* I wanted Seat 2 as well.

Yargh. If I had made it to the final two, I was just going to play tricks and switch seat numbers. My brilliantly devilish plan will never see the light of day.

[anonym0use]

I did mean Ignatz. Sorry guys. Battling some stomach flu today. :)

The computer is your friend!

[hellskingpin]

At least I blew up. Pianos and razor neck rests hurt.

[anonym0use]

In the FWIW dept:

Chair 1 was trapped by Hellskingpin (killing Anti)
Chair 2 was disarmed by Anti, and never had a trap to begin with! :p
Chair 3 was trapped by Ignatz (KO'ng Get_1)
Chair 4 was trapped by Get_1 (Kaputing Hellskingpin).
