[quote name=\'TLEberle\' date=\'May 4 2004, 07:22 PM\'] Remembering back to the short run of "Paranoia," the players could spend $1,000 to trade one Satellite player for another, or $3,000 to knock a player out of the game completely.
Questions:
Did that money go to the forced out player, or disappear back to the vault?
If you were to Swap Out a Satellite player with one strike, would the new player come in with no strikes?

From the official rules...
At any time during the play of the Paranoia rounds, a Studio Contestant may eliminate one Location Contestant by agreeing to relinquish $3,000 which shall go to the Location Contestant. The game will then continue against the remaining Location Contestant(s). If a Studio Contestant relinquishes $1,000 he/she may exchange one Location Contestant for another Location Contestant. The $1,000 will go to the Location Contestant.
The second scenario happened when I tried out for Paranoia and I was involved in said situation. The replacement player inherits any strikes accrued by the swapped out player. I replaced a swapped out player who had one strike.
