ParanoiaMUSH

This is to gauge interest in a MUSH environment in Mongoose Publishing's most recent iteration of the Paranoia TT RPG world. At first, it would likely just be an environment for running TT RPG type events and adventures possibly leaning more into a perpetual MUSH-type environment. Thoughts? WOuld this be of interest to people?
NOTE: I originally posted this to the wrong board. Sorry if you are seeing this twice!
Paranoia, for the uninitiated, is a comedy/horror RPG where humanity has retreated to a facility known as Alpha Complex. The facility is run and maintained by the Computer. The Computer is your friend, it never makes a mistake, and it needs help. This is where you come in. Human population is controlled by the computer. Clones are incubated as the Computer deems necessary and they are presented as Troubleshooters, little assistants to the Computer.
Despite the paradise that this sounds like, there are dangers. Several factors threaten the harmony of Alpha Complex and the tranquil balance that it maintains. Secret societies, terrorists and mutants are ever present threats that must be dealt with. Members of secret societies and mutants are terrorists and need to be immediately terminated.
Chargen is very fast. A completely randomized character can be completed and on-grid in under a minute. In Chargen, your secret society membership is randomly assigned as are your mutant powers.

While I might only play this on occasion for some random shit to do I really think this could work out in a mush environment and eould be excited to see where this idea goes
