Don't even need to put it in a text file. Send it via PM, in 3 parts o/

True. Though you've gotta admit that having a text file handy as your backup (and for reference) is pretty helpful in some cases.

EDIT: Did up my entire character sheet (and the revisions thereof) in NotePad, saved it when I needed to take a break to handle something else.

Files saved on a computer can be easily accessed, edited, and sent outside the boards.
 
Sure, there's always copypasta, but then there's also ease of access to consider; my character sheet DEFINITELY needed some revisions, and I must say it was easier to have it in an accessible file rather than going into my outbox, uncovering the PM with the sheet, and copypasta-ing it somewhere. It also lets you access your sheet even if your internet is down (or inexistant).

Yes you are, citizen. All loyal citizens are the cool kids.

Edit: Also Theorist needs to let me know if the character I gave him is cool, and give me some background and ticks and such.

Edit: Onizuka, M.Burusu, and Alice Margatroid still owe me their MBD form.

FURTHERMORE: I WANT EVERYONE TO TURN ON PM NOTICES. AND LEAVE SPACE FOR AT LEAST FIVE PMS. I AM GOING TO BE SENDING A LOT OF THEM IN GAME, AND THEY WILL ALL BE VERY IMPORTANT. SHOULD I HIT A FULL MAILBOX OR FIND SOMEONE DIDN'T READ THEIR PM I WILL BE A VERY DISPLEASED GM. THE SOURCE MATERIAL OUGHT TO HAVE WARNED YOU ABOUT THAT.

On it. Also, I don't really have any PMs in my inbox, so I'll be able to recieve them with little difficulty.

EDIT: Did it, sent it, hope you recieved it intact.

Once I get Alice's MBD, and Mr_Bob resends me the sheet that I accidentally communist infiltrators deleted, we'll begin.

Once we do begin, wait until you get a PM from me before posting. I'll try to have them all pre-written so there is no delay, but still. They'll contain datums your characters are going to want.

Yeah, as I've already warned the people over at Mafia I'm not gonna have a stable internet connection (hell, if I have a connection at ALL) until Thursday at the latest. I might need an excuse for arriving late, but otherwise I'm prepared to lose my first clone for being tardy. Sorry about this. >_>

Friend Computer understands your difficulties.

Do not worry, for your forthrightness, we shall not be terminating a clone as a matter of course. Instead arrangements will be made. If the worse comes to worst, I'll NPC you for a bit.

Seriously, though, thank you for the warning.

AND WE HAVE BEGUN!

Once again, read your PMs. Have PM alerts on if you can. There is going to be a lot of notepassing, and you don't want to miss one.


Because I think it will be convenient, I am going to post up a chart from the book on what is and is not treason. That way, you may check it if you don't have easy access to the PDF.


TREASON & REWARDS BEHAVIOR CHARTS
 Acceptable behavior 

(Straight/Classic only)
The following behaviors are acceptable
(non-treasonous)  anywhere  in Alpha
Complex:

-Understanding  of  this  chart  and  the
Treason, Insubordination and Meritorious
Conduct  charts  and  their  contents.
(Drummed  into every  INFRARED  from
decanting onward.)

-Knowledge of the current Year of The
Computer (214) and general awareness The
Computer hasn?t always been here;
knowledge that a corrupt, destructive Old
Reckoning culture existed before the rise
of our friend The Computer. (However,
curiosity  about  that  benighted  time  is
very impolite.)

-Mere  knowledge  of  the  existence  of
specific secret societies, mutant powers,
the Outdoors or Outdoor plant and animal
life. (None of this is polite conversation,
but it?s not treasonous.)

-Mere  knowledge  of  various  kinds
of  real  food  and  drink;  expressions  of
envy  and  the  general  living  conditions
of higher-clearance citizens. (Portrayed
daily on glamorous vidshows.)

-Expressions of ambition; desire to rise
in clearance, get rich, live in luxury, etc.
(The Computer  encourages  aspiration
to greater service, though blatant greed
is impolite.)

-Casual  joking  or  warnings  about
service firms, service groups, or higher-
clearance citizens in general, as opposed
to  specific  individuals  or  agencies.
(Impolite and likely to draw suspicion, but
not technically insubordinate.)

-Unauthorized vandalism or destruction
of property of equal or lower clearance,
in line of duty.

-Asking  questions  directly  relevant  to
a mission or duty  (these questions are
grudgingly condoned).

-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question would  be  considered  directly
relevant to a mission or duty.

 Insubordination 
(Straight/Classic only)

This  is  a  set  of  guidelines,  not  an
exhaustive  list.  Lots  of  other  things
are  treason and  insubordination,  too.
The GM  assigns  their  fines  or  other
penalties.  In  Zap  games  all  these
behaviors count as treason.

-Asking  a  question  irrelevant  to  a
mission or duty.

-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question unrelated  to a mission or duty
would  be  considered  insubordinate  or
treasonous.

-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question, if it were hypothetically directly
related  to  a mission  or  duty, would  be
considered insubordinate or treasonous
(nobody likes a smartass).

-Being out of uniform or sloppy.

-Being unhappy.

-Bringing bad news.

-Curiosity  about  or  postulation  of
supposed  virtues  of Old  Reckoning
times.

-Curiosity in general, undue.

-Evading Internal Security or Computer
surveillance.

-Excessive impoliteness.

-Failing a hygiene inspection.

-Jokes,  insolence, or disregard  for  the
importance of a mission or duty.

-Jokes,  insolence,  or  disrespect  for  a
specific higher-clearance citizen.

-Jokes, complaints, or warnings about
a specific service firm or group.

-Questioning the ability or judgment of
a higher-clearance citizen.

-Questioning the ability or judgment of
The Computer.

-Turning off one?s PDC (communicator)
during a mission.

-Unauthorized vandalism or destruction
of property of equal or lower clearance,
not in line of duty.


 Treason

Accusations of treason

-Being accused of treason.

-Falsely accusing a citizen of treason.

Conduct and bearing

-Arguing with the Gamemaster.

-Assaulting a citizen.

-Being present  in a  location of higher
security clearance.

-Damaging,   destroying,   or  losing
assigned equipment.

-Demonstrating  knowledge  of  the
PARANOIA  rules  above  your  own
clearance.

-Failure  to defer  to a citizen of higher
security clearance.

-Framing  a  citizen  of  lower  clearance
for a crime.

-Lying to the GM.

-Possessing a treasonous skill.

-Possessing  unauthorized  food,
information, or equipment.

-Refusal to take a prescribed drug.

-Theft  of  equipment,  possessions  or
files, including filesharing.

-Threatening  the  physical  or  financial
safety of another citizen.

-Unauthorized  destruction  of  higher-
clearance property.

Missions

-Disobeying an order.

-Failure to complete a mission or service
service, or failure to file a proper report
of the completion.

-Refusing  the assignment of a service
service.

-Refusing to accept a mission.

Mutation

-Banned mutation registration.

-Suspicion  or   proof   of   mutation
possession.

Secret society membership

-Confessing to, suspicion of, or proof of
secret society membership.

-Knowledge of Communist doctrine.

-Being a Communist.

Terminations

-Terminating a citizen without sufficient
evidence.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Once Roukanken gets back and posts, thing will be proceeding whether or not everyone has chimed in. Should you have not chimed in, well... missing a mission briefing doesn't look good when you're trying desperately to prove you aren't treasonous.

ELABORATION

As I've been asked this by more than one person now, I feel I should elaborate.

Chances are, at some point in the game, you're going to want to do things that you don't want to announce, such as "I discreetly aim my laser at <name's> back, keeping it hidden from the others, in case s/he tries to mess with my shit." In such cases, do not post it to the thread; just PM it to me. I will handle the action and PM you any results; unless your action results in something the whole party should know, then I'll post it in the thread.

A little peek into his profile (According to profile it's a he) says that dude's just not paying attention (Or simply lost, i dunno lol).

We have permission from Purvis to discuss ideas about what we should do collabratively to get past some obstacle in this thread. In this case the collasped in wall.

We could try blasting it open with some weaponry.
We could try a makeshift tunnel with the Play-duralium.
We can always try manual labor to shift the stuff out of the way.

Just note that we still need to post our course of action in the RP thread.

+3 Perversity to Mr_Bob for taking initiative.

Also, anytime someone makes a test, like looking at the rifle or examining the roof, I PM that information to the player so they can decide whether to share it or lie about it. Right now, everyone should have the information they've sought after; if I missed you let me know.

I forget how the Play-duralim works. If expansion is involved, then we can use that to lever stuff up.

Use the rocket boots to burn a hole through the wall or fly over it.

fly over it.
By the description, I think you'd find only a solid wall.
In fact, I do not believe there's anything inside at all.

That theory would be supported by Ginger's findings: didn't hear any echoes when testing the walls. Except that is probably not the case, because it's unlikely that a completely solid structure has a partially collapsed wall. If the DoorMarkerPlusPlus is working now that we've taken a look at it we could give it a field test.

Maybe look around for secret entrances or stuff?
The team leader, or someone with good habitat engineering skills (hardware) should organize this.

Please note, in character, that no one except Ginger knows this at the moment. So please do not let it affect your characters' decision-making unless you happen to be Ginger. At least until you get told ICly.
