For me it was “Hollyhock God” from Nobilis.

Why do game designers do this? Does anybody, anywhere, actually use these weird terms while actually playing?

    Yes, Friend Computer only has our best interests in mind. Trust Friend Computer.

    What I love in Paranoia is that the players start as Troubleshooters. As in their job is to find trouble and shoot it. As an IT professional who’s usually the go-to for the hard problems, I appreciate that.

      I was never a paranoia GM, but let me tell you, that session our GM handed out folders and one of us had been upgraded to red , blood was spilled.
