[RPG Game] The life of the IT specialist named Bob.

[Psychynius]

If you are reading this, my game has caught your interests! I figured to pass the time for the people that browse here, I'd set up an (light) RPG game. For those unfamiliar with games like this ; It's fairly simple! You are playing this as a man named Bob, and -you- can decide every action that happens in the game. I as 'DM', aka 'Dungeon Master' will decide the outcome of your decision. It may be good, it may be bad, it may be hilarious and it may get Bob killed.

In this game, we will use 2 stats ; HP, and Energy.

HP stands for Health Points, which most of you have probably heard or seen once. They drop with negative actions, and rise with positive but can't ever go higher then 100.

Energy stands for well.. Energy! It starts at 100, and each action you do costs energy. If you reach 0, you will collapse and need to rest. Depending on how many people play the game, I may increase/reduce energy cost.

In addition to this, you also have an inventory. A backpack so to speak, which you can toss items and use items from that you find through out the game.

I also reserve the right to ignore answers or to go my own path to help the story go further, please follow the forum rules with each post and let's have some fun! (And hope the BB guys are good for a laugh, as it's inspired by the server downtime! )

( In other words! Just post what -you- want that Bob does! If there is more then 1 answer, I'll try to include them all. ^^ )

Let the games begin!
------

An room filled with servers left and right, three windows to your left side.. Your desk against the wall, with a brand new shining laptop on it that came with the promotion. You made it far, off course you did! You are Bob. Everybody knows you, everyone wants to be you, it's natural for you to have come this far, and you will only get further.

Your eyes glance at the screen of your brandnew "Failx9001!", man what a beauty. Newest on the market, high reviews, 2 dvd-players and a 100 Gigazil of hard disk space. Now you can watch a movie while you watch a movie, that's how great it is. Having booted it up, the local server software for "The Settlers Online" runs smoothly. No problems what so ever, but that's logical right? You are Bob! You control the world, with one touch you can ruin the world of thousands and switch the server from life to death. Online and offline.

A smirk on your face as you look around the room, it has it all. Buzzing server systems behind you, a coffee machine in the corner along with a water cooler. They even gave you your own personal phone on the desk. But now that everything runs smoothly, you wonder what you will do.

The choice is yours ; What will you do?

First off, Bob should grab a coffee (*the* one and only way to start a day) and try especially hard not to pour the contents of the cup into the server machine.

open add remove progrmams and start uninstaling all the usless program instaled on my super new laptop

[Krowe]

Load TSO in Opera, Upgrade Mayor's House to Lvl3, just in case the servers crash.

The first voice in your head has appeared. It gave an instruction which you are happy with. You have had these voices since you where a kid, so got accustomed to them even when you openly began mentioning them to strangers. They always gave you a funny look.. But that's not the point here!

Figuring you should try out that new coffee machine, you slide away from your desk in your new office chair. With a good swing and some timing you roll right in front of the machine. Success! (Good thing there was no carpet on the floor!) Your eyes dart to the coffee machine as you start inspecting it, it's quite advanced.

There are buttons for regular coffee, espresso, latte macchiato and many more. There are cups on the side, though you are unsure if you should place one under it yourself or if the machine does it for you.

What takes your fancy?

Before you could figure it out, you get a new voice in your head. Ah good old trusted voices. Pressing a random button on the machine, it grabs a cup and pours plain old hot water into it. You haven't noticed it yet, but you take the cup and swing back to the desk without spilling. Proud of yourself once more, you place it down next to the Failx9001 and open up the configuration screen. A few clicks after, you start by uninstalling a few unwanted programs. Mostly security tools forced upon you by the evil Mcaffee, Norton and Microsoft.

.. That can't hurt, right? Having to wait regardless, you open up good old Opera, browser of the queens and browse to the game you secretly play as "Noobsquasher01". Good old Noobsquasher, notorious troll and hated gamer of the internet. Everyone states that you cheat, but nobody has proof it it.

You login, click the mayor's house and upgrade it to 3. Using gems, it instantly shoots up to level 4. Oh well, you got unlimited gems as it is. You almost forget about your 'coffee' however.

( Quick brb! Walking the pup!)

Bob picks up the phone (the NEW phone) and calls for room service to his office, he only has $10, and the coffee machine dont give change so poor bob cant do anything untill he has his caffeine fix @ShadowMorph

[Psychynius]

Room service? In an office? Bob grabs the phone, dials a number of the suppose room service but gains no reply. The horn beeps, and beeps and beeps. It's quite maddening, and after three attempts to call a non existing room service to his office he manages to dial the reception instead. A girl named Lara answers the phone, she sounds sweet.

She asks you why you dialled and what you want. Perhaps you should try to convince her onto a date? You are Bob after all, and everyone likes you.

.. At least, that's what you think.

Tell Lara to meet you at 14:00, but "forget" to mention why. Just tell her it's important, a matter of life or death.
Then go for lunch with her.

[Psychynius]

You sweet talk (or rather in a state of panic) yell at Lara to meet you at 14:00. You clearly mention that it's a matter of Life and Death and quickly end the call. She didn't seem entirely at rest or in comfort knowing the last thing, but who cares? You just arranged yourself a lunch date.. Or so you hope. You bring your fingers back to the keyboard and notice a message an red exclamation mark on the screen.

Perhaps you should investigate?

Delete the message, it's nothing important anyways.
It never is.
