OK I'm just getting very confused now. I think my updated RP skirts around
this issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not really sure at
all. The RP can be validly adopted because we ARE in an emergency (unless
you are convinced by the Tweak) of the Panic Button type. Starting the
Mental States emergency early would be dangerous and I'm not sure if it
would even happen anyway, you're right. But my RP specifically avoids having
anything to do with a Paranoia emergency. Does it do it successfully, you
think?
