Paranoia team? Is it real?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Jun 21, 2001 11:03 am

I heard from a buddy that he saw a Paranoia team on the internet some time ago. Like a fool, he didn't save the team to his computer and now it seems like it is gone forever! Does anyone know where to find this team???? Please e-mail me/icq me/post a reply if you can help.

The Paranoia team that you are looking for is normally referred to as the <a href="http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/La ... tml">Alpha Complex team</a>. You can find the rules for that are other unique net teams at <a href="http://www.midgardbb.com">www.midgardbb.com</a>.

What would be special with just 16 clones?
Might be cheap. . . Find one cheap mini and buy 16 of them!

I don't like the Alpha Complex team very much. They don't look very good on the field

The most surprising thing about the Alpha Complex team I've heard is that people actually played them in a regular league!!

A lot of fun, sure, but serious? Good heavens, no! You can trust me.

And I wouldn't expect them, or anything like them, to be mentioned in the next rules review!

Remember a game of Paranoia I once played....some poor clone was telling us about stuff he had the clearance to know, but not to tell us about.

He got through 5 clones in one speech.

Paranoia ruled!
The Happiness Officer was the best part!
We knew a guy named Jerry who always smiled; even when he was mad, and of course we all made him be the hapiness officer. Things got weird though when nice, lovable, smiling Jerry went absolutely powermad and began a personal quest to destroy depression.

Heheh.. I actually tried to play the alpha complex team back then.. All I can tell you is.. Wow.. I wouldn't even consider them for league play..

It looked to me that every player on the team would be executed after about two games... When the clones run out (which will probably happen to all players within a span of say two or three games), the team is utterly dead.. There's no way you'll be able to buy the amount of new players required to keep the team alive..

Still.. Extremely funny concept.. Paranoia is highly amusing...
Maybe someone could come up with an updated team list, in which they are actually playable...

And remember...

That RPG was never really playable in a campaign style game. The team matches that concept. If you ever made any kind of real security clearance or actually completed your mission in Paranoia then you weren't playing it right!

What? I distinctly remember this one campaign where we were... Oh wait.. We didn't survive more than two scenes before all our clones were used up... Never mind..

I played an Alpha Complex Team for a while years ago and I was really happy not to roll a double for new skills... (Oh my God, R&D items...

)

BTW, I think they are not so unbalanced.
They only need some minor modification to be a nice team even for leagues (yes, I know that there are copyrights problems and GW will not make a team from a different Company official).

One of the coaches in our league just got him a set of Paranoia miniatures and is going to use them in the next tournament. He's not a very competitive player as you might have guessed
