AND WE HAVE BEGUN!
Once again, read your PMs. Have PM alerts on if you can. There is going to be a lot of notepassing, and you don't want to miss one.
Because I think it will be convenient, I am going to post up a chart from the book on what is and is not treason. That way, you may check it if you don't have easy access to the PDF.
TREASON
& REWARDS BEHAVIOR CHARTS
Acceptable behavior
(Straight/Classic only)
The following behaviors are acceptable
(non-treasonous) anywhere in Alpha
Complex:
-Understanding of this chart and the
Treason, Insubordination and Meritorious
Conduct charts and their contents.
(Drummed into every INFRARED from
decanting onward.)
-Knowledge of the current Year of The
Computer (214) and general awareness The
Computer hasn?t always been here;
knowledge that a corrupt, destructive Old
Reckoning culture existed before the rise
of our friend The Computer. (However,
curiosity about that benighted time is
very impolite.)
-Mere knowledge of the existence of
specific secret societies, mutant powers,
the Outdoors or Outdoor plant and animal
life. (None of this is polite conversation,
but it?s not treasonous.)
-Mere knowledge of various kinds
of real food and drink; expressions of
envy and the general living conditions
of higher-clearance citizens. (Portrayed
daily on glamorous vidshows.)
-Expressions of ambition; desire to rise
in clearance, get rich, live in luxury, etc.
(The Computer encourages aspiration
to greater service, though blatant greed
is impolite.)
-Casual joking or warnings about
service firms, service groups, or higher-
clearance citizens in general, as opposed
to specific individuals or agencies.
(Impolite and likely to draw suspicion, but
not technically insubordinate.)
-Unauthorized vandalism or destruction
of property of equal or lower clearance,
in line of duty.
-Asking questions directly relevant to
a mission or duty (these questions are
grudgingly condoned).
-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question would be considered directly
relevant to a mission or duty.
Insubordination
(Straight/Classic only)
This is a set of guidelines, not an
exhaustive list. Lots of other things
are treason and insubordination, too.
The GM assigns their fines or other
penalties. In Zap games all these
behaviors count as treason.
-Asking a question irrelevant to a
mission or duty.
-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question unrelated to a mission or duty
would be considered insubordinate or
treasonous.
-Asking whether a particular hypothetical
question, if it were hypothetically directly
related to a mission or duty, would be
considered insubordinate or treasonous
(nobody likes a smartass).
-Being out of uniform or sloppy.
-Being unhappy.
-Bringing bad news.
-Curiosity about or postulation of
supposed virtues of Old Reckoning
times.
-Curiosity in general, undue.
-Evading Internal Security or Computer

a higher-clearance citizen.
