Wheel of Tics 

Loyal Paranoia-Live.net citizen Max has created an online PARANOIA tic generator for the visible behavioral twitches exhibited by Alpha Complex citizens. Just spin the wheel (well, click-and-drag the wheel) to get a generous selection of odd speech patterns, fixed convictions, and general annoyances. Max is also seeking 800+ more tics to add to his wheel (though his request is in P-L.net's GM-only forum area, so it may be above your clearance).

The PARANOIA character-creation rules expansion, Criminal Histories, features an extensive list of tics. As the discussion there observes, ideally a tic is somewhat annoying but doesn't get the character instantly executed -- whereas it looks like Max's first batch of tics would show up prominently in the "Reason" blank of any Termination Request Voucher. But you know, is that so bad? Whatever works.

Comments:
Maybe I'm missing it, but is the Paranoia tic generator available to the teeming masses?
 
Oops. Link fixed.

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
