Non-Example of Play:If Popular Fantasy RPG worked like [mini]Paranoia!
Gamemaster: You’re in a long dungeon hallway with a dirt floor, stone walls and an arching stone ceiling. There are burning torches in wall sconces every 10 feet. You see one door.
Warrior player: What colour is the stone?
GM: Sort of orange.
Rogue player: Aah! I’m only Clearance RED! Get me out of here!
Priest player: Don't worry. I'm a special, so you know you can trust me. I’m casting Mass RAISE Security Clearance to make us all ORANGE. [Passes note to the GM: ‘I’m also casting Subvert to Communism on the warrior.’]
Wizard: I’m using the Magic Box to document the priest’s actions. I, uh, may want to analyze the vote record later.
Priest: Of course, of course. [Looks significantly at the rogue, whom he made a Rend Deal. The rogue nods and passes a note to the GM. The GM rolls a 20-sided die (1d20).]
GM: All right. You’re all ORANGE for the moment and can pass safely down the hallway. Your orders, you recall, were to investigate the door. [Passes note to warrior: ‘You feel a strange, treasonous impulse to overthrow the existing social order and restore power to the people.’]
Warrior:
Thralls/Millers/Conversions?
GM:
Clarification Denied
Warrior [Gulps]: Come, Comra – fellow heroes, let us break down the door!
Wizard: Wait! Did you almost call us ‘Comrades’? That’s a Commie word!
Priest: Of course he didn’t. I heard nothing of the sort.
Rogue: Nor I. Are you leveling false accusations of post editing against our leader? That’s treason.
Wizard: Don’t anybody move! I’m not only leveling accusations, I’m leveling my Wand of Fireballs against all three of these traitors, and I'm firing a fireball at all of them!
GM [Rolls a 20-sided die on Invisible Castle]: I’m sorry, it appears your experimental Wand of Fireballs has been busdrivered back onto you. In a trice you are immolated in a ball of flame. Fortunately the fire is orange, so at least your charred body hasn’t breached its proper Security Clearance.

Wizard: You bastards are gonna pay.
GM: Only one non-game related comment from the currently dead, please. Suddenly the door opens. A huge hobgoblin in leather armour stands there with his broadsword drawn. On his chest you see the mark of a silver hand.
Rogue: I vig him with –
Warrior: Wait! I wave my fingers at him from under my chin.
Priest and rogue: What?
Tube: COMMUNICATING IN CODE? NO PHALLA FOR A WEEK!
[One Week Later]
GM: The hobgoblin nods at your recognition signal and lowers his sword. He waves you all inside. Blue Vote the person who's going to go in first?
Warrior, priest and rogue [Voting each other]:
Him!

I love Paranoia!

Red is for killing. Green is for signing up. Applying the color red to more than it's intended to apply to is starting to sound dangerously communist, friend.
Nonsense. I'm infrared unless otherwise promoted by Friend Computer.
Are you unhappy with this, citizen?

I am also computer!
REQUEST POSITION 10001
I demand an awesome super-special role since I had to give one up in Invictus' mini for reasons (at least partially) beyond my control. It's only fair!
Glory, glory! Hail Computer!

Seems the computer has forced my hand. Sigh, it was one time use limegreen clearance too.
Actually, it's applying green not red - I'm signing up in the only colour I'm allowed to use! When Friend Computer vaporizes all of you for being traitors, don't come complaining to me!
