    I didn't have trouble with "excuse me", but they're inundanted with foreigners in Edinburgh during the festival so I think they get the idea. Interesting note.

    Mark, Zorn, LadyC,
    Anyone object to my starting a thread in a more appropriate location to discuss the POSSIBLE Paranoia game?

    Yeah "excuse me" is frequently used to mean "let me through" here, but still, I'd have expected they'd have got your meaning from your tone. Maybe Londoners are a little more touchy.

    Well, it was several years ago in a time far, far away .... Do you suppose they misunderstood because I shoved them to the ground and stomped on their throats? Maybe that was a bad move for international relations.

    I bet you'll have plenty of interest in Paranoia. Post away!

    You didn't mention that part before.

    I'm not even through the red section of the new rules. It spent last week in the truck, but I did read some last night in the hotel room. About ten pages of the quotes before I noticed they were there on the bottom of the right hand pages.

    But yeah, I'm willing to run. October if not sooner. (It's not like I have to prepare much...)
