I’m amused at the thought of a Paranoia-themed game. ---

Long ago tried to talk Idle into helping me with a Gummi Bears (the cartoon) game, but his less-than-enthusiastic response took the wind out of my sails. ☹ ---

While we’re all waiting on the game to start, here’s a vital question: Since we’re on the level of primitive organisms, where do we get the alcohol to drink [del]at Night[/del] in the Winter? ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > Eww. Alcohol is yeast poop. I prefer to think of it as piss. But since we also want them for their farts I guess farting and pooping isn’t a bad way to look at it. Either way I’ll take a glass of poop over ice. ---

bouncy-bouncy If we can’t get the alcohol flowing, maybe our pond will attract some psychoactive toads for us to lick. ---

Oh, and I’m sure you all know this, but if any of you have any questions about your role, you should ask in PM to me. All PMs have the subject line “Role PM”, and they were sent out in order of sign-up. ---

Confirmed. Don’t have much to say at this point other than to agree that our best course of action will be to lyse a spawn each Summer. I’m not sure what to make of the spawn mechanic right now. It would appear that lysing spawn each Summer would make the mechanic moot, so it seems likely to me that there are roles out there that interact with the spawn somehow. ---
