[David starts up the video feed and he looks much better than he did the last time he started it.]

So a belated congratulations to all current Guardians. I’m positive you will all do or continue to do a good job.

[To the next order of business.]

So like many of the other Guardians, I’m putting a call out for anyone interested in being a Deputy Guardian. Your job essentially would boil down to helping to protect Genessia City. For a while now I’ve only had Karla as a Deputy, but I think it is time to fix that. I don’t have any hard requirements for anyone interested in joining, there are many different ways that a person can help out with protecting the city. There are some possible changes that I’m considering for the future and having a full team could help with that.

If you would like to converse over the potential job, we can do so over this device. Otherwise, you can meet me in the Guardian’s Office in Genessia City [Address to the office is here] My door is always open to anyone, so don’t be afraid to drop by.

On a different note, I am thinking about opening up an MMORPG style branch of Holodeck’d. Granted, there is no Online aspect of it, so I guess it’d just be an MMRPG. You’d be your character and be able to adopt the look of your character model, use your own physical movements to engage in combat, ect. I suppose this is an interest check for that as well.

[Karla, likewise, is looking much better now that she's gotten her rest.]

I'm glad you got to serve another term as Guardian. That sure was a close race...

As for me, I'm happy to continue as your Deputy, and I think having more Deputies would help.

I'm happy to serve out another term. I wasn't sure that I was going to win this time around.

I think more would definitely be able to help us, so hopefully we get some takers.

Congratulations to you as well, Guardian Haller. I was impressed by how close the race between you and Peter Quill was.

About the MMRPG thing, how much freedom would we get with character model customization?

[rulerofme]

Thank you. I don't think anyone could have expected it to be as close as it was.

As much freedom as possible, at least within reason. You wouldn't be able to create an avatar that's like one foot tall or eight feet high.

I'm new here so if you don't mind me asking, what is a deputy? You mention protecting and such but is that it?

A Deputy Guardians job is to help support the city Guardian, help with patrolling the city, helping to enforce the laws of the city, to watch over the city when the Guardian takes a day off or is absent for any reason. They are also expected to weigh in or give their opinion when important decisions or such are being made, though it’s up to the Guardian on how much they want to consider their words.

A Deputy Guardian can also be placed in charge of certain things, like how the Nova City Guardian has her city divided up with each one having their own sector. A Guardian needs to be able to basically rely on them for most anything and for the most part. Really, their list of duties will depend all on what the Guardian wants them to handle.

If I may, I have a question.

What is a MMRPG?

video;

[rulerofme]

MMORPG stands for massively multiplayer online role-playing game. But since there wouldn't be an online aspect, it would just be massively multiplayer role-playing game. You'd basically assume the role of a character that you create and venture through a world gaining levels, completing task and quest, gaining equipment and new abilities dependent on the class that you select.

If you have ever played a console RPG in your time here, it is something like that.

[Because this actually sounds...pretty awesome.]

I'd be down with a virtual RPG. It's sort of...like Star Trek, right? The holodeck?

audio;

[rulerofme]

That's pretty much the idea. I know people here aren't strangers to video games, but I don't think many have played one that way.

[Video]

[yoyoboy]

So we're playing a real-life version of a virtual reality online game?

Sign me up!

[Video]

[rulerofme]

Pretty much. Though I haven't settled on a theme, but I think the tried and true fantasy medieval style theme might work. [Because of D&D and all of that.]

[megabond]

Well, I should give a belated congratulations to your next term as well.

As for this MMRPG you've mentioned, I didn't know there is a technology here to achieve a special video game like that.

[Video]

[rulerofme]

Thank you.

I own a place called Holodeck'd. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in different scenarios by way of the technology it uses. The technology is capable of creating solid holograms to simulate opponents, an environment, just pretty much anything. It's that technology that would be used to make that game a reality. [Or well, a virtual reality.]

[gamerrep]

[You said a gaming word. A wild Chiaki has appeared.]

That sounds like it could be really interesting. It sounds a lot like virtual reality. Except without the VR headset.

Re: video;

[rulerofme]

[Of course she'd show up. She'd probably be the first to reach max level in that game.]

That's pretty much a good way of explaining it. You would be physically immersed in the world, not just visually.

What sort of characteristics are you looking for in a deputy? I have experience as a warrior, a diplomat, and a craftsman. At home, I was a member of a group called the Scions of the Seventh Dawn; we operated independently of the Grand Companies as a special missions force, often finding ourselves up against primal deities and other overwhelming odds. It was through our actions - both in combat and in diplomacy - that a thousand year war between man and dragon was brought to a close.

[Video]

[rulerofme]

I'd say characteristics like that might be fitting for a Deputy. How long have you been a member of that group and how long have you been practicing as a warrior and diplomat?

[ivegotadream]

While I can't help with the deputy thing, I do have a question.

[She paused for a moment.]

What's an MMORPG anyway?

video

[rulerofme]

It's a type of game that people play online with more than one person. They connect through the internet which is a network sort of like what we are using to talk here. People playing the game control their characters actions and complete quests and task and grow in power and abilities as they progress through the game.

[blindpuppet]

I'd help out as a deputy if you need it.

[Maybe part-time. Enis can be flaky at the best of times.]

I can also help with any MMRPG things. I can also create a network so that people can play together if you want it to connect in an online 'like' capacity.

[She shrugs.]

I'm good with computers.

[rulerofme]

You want to be a deputy? [He knows that she knows the Guardian job is important, but he honestly didn't think she'd be up for it..]

I don't think the online part is needed, since the way they would have to play it would require a different set up in their home. Though I wouldn't mind you helping me get things with it created.

[video] How did I miss this post before now? X3

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Is that the sound of opportunity knocking? Because it sure sounds like it!

OK, Lea, it's only your first sort of job interview ever, just be cool and don't blow it!]

I'd be interested in being a Deputy. Most of my major talents are combat oriented, but I'm ready and willing to help out wherever I might be needed.

Name's Lea, by the way. Got it memorized?

[Is it OK to say your catchphrase in an interview? He really hopes so.]

[video]

[rulerofme]

[Well being combat oriented is a plus.]

What other talents do you have other than combat? Are you confident you could handle all of the duties of a Deputy Guardian regardless of what is asked by you?

[alihacka]

Wait, Holodeck'd? [Someone missed the memo that this place existed.] That's possible here?

Video;

[rulerofme]

That is is. I'd be false advertising with my business if it wasn't.
