[UA] Bailey's Last UA Game

[Tim Toner]

Great story.  One addendum.  Never play Paranoia with a Powergamer.

I think the problem with the 'one above all' player is that they don't
consider their behavior for what it is--zealotry.  This is no different than
the fella who announces to his classmates that they're all going to Hell
because they haven't accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior, or
someone who won't stop talking about the Mac's supremacy over the Wintel
Cabal.  These people only have hammers, and thus all their problems resemble
nails.

What can be done?  Same thing that can be done with the other kinds of
zealotry:  teach by example.  Those who can be converted will be.  Those who
cannot miss out on all the fun.
