	'''Paranoia''' is not a humorous [[RPG\|roleplaying game]] about a distinctly Orwellian, dystopian future and living in a sealed city run by a psychotic computer. On the contrary, Alpha Complex is a utopia. Friend Computer is wise and benevolent and not at all murderous. There are no communists, mutants, traitors, or secret societies. Technology is more advanced than it has ever been in the history of civilization, and research and development does not routinely involve handing out prototype weapons which will of course never let loose a nuclear explosion if dropped. There is nothing of note outside of Alpha Complex, and all its citizens are completely happy to live inside it and never leave. Happiness is mandatory. Unhappiness is treason. Treason is punishable by death.		'''Paranoia''' is not a humorous [[RPG\|roleplaying game]] about a distinctly Orwellian, dystopian future and living in a sealed city run by a psychotic computer.

	===Player characters===		===Player characters===

	Players of Paranoia play Troubleshooters: agents of The Computer who find trouble and shoot it. Thankfully, due to Friend Computer's all-seeing benevolence, trouble is scarce. Citizens who become aware of trouble are asked to report it to Friend Computer, who will dispatch friendly neighborhood Troubleshooters to deal with the trouble. The existence of trouble is impossible due to Friend Computer's omniscience. Claiming that Friend Computer cannot prevent or eliminate all trouble is insubordination. Insubordination is treason. Treason is punishable by death.		Players of Paranoia play Troubleshooters: agents of The Computer who find trouble and shoot it.

	Troubleshooters may be given certain additional duties if they survive their first mission.

	====Clones====		====Clones====

	As Troubleshooting can be a fairly lethal activity, all Troubleshooters are issued with a six-pack of additional clones. Upon the death of a Troubleshooter, Friend Computer will dispatch a clone to the Troubleshooter's former location at its earliest convenience. Troubleshooters may be rewarded with additional clones if they successfully complete a mission, and may purchase more clones with their wages. [[Slaanesh\|Misuse of additional clones]] is treason. Treason is punishable by death.		As Troubleshooting can be a fairly lethal activity, all Troubleshooters are issued with a six-pack of additional clones.

	====Security clearances====		====Security clearances====

	''Paranoia'' features a security clearance system based on colors of the visible spectrum which heavily restricts what the players can and cannot do; everything from corridors to food and equipment have security restrictions. The lowest rating is Infrared, but the player characters start at security clearance Red, having already earned some of The Computer's trust by turning in a friend for treason. Treason is punishable by death.

	====Mutants and secret societies====		====Mutants and secret societies====

	There are no [[mutant\|mutants]] or secret societies in Alpha Complex. However, traitorous rumours have been spread that mutants and secret societies have corrupted the cloning pods of the Complex to give most new clones the delusions that they have mutant powers and/or are members of a secret society. Acting upon these delusions is treason. Treason is punishable by death.		There are no [[mutant\|mutants]] or secret societies in Alpha Complex.

	===Perversity Points===		===Perversity Points===
			The only truly "metagame" mechanic in Paranoia which can be talked about without being treasonous is the Perversity Points system. Perversity Points are awarded by the [[Game Master]] for being amusing and/or inventive. Spending one perversity point allows you to add or subtract one from any dice roll, anywhere on the table. In cases where the party has split into two opposing teams (which is rare, because getting even two players to trust each other is a herculean effort, much less having it happen twice), everyone around the table might spend all of their perversity points on raising and lowering a single dice roll. This is hilarious. Not thinking this is hilarious is treason. Treason is punishable by death.
