Chapter 01
Within the Underworld Freelancers Job Tavern, Alex had just been asked to show off his new Hellhound form to those attending his birthday party. "One hound, coming right up!"
Alex struck his pose and said, "And the answer is..." And then he caused the golden glow to return which coated his entire body. "Quest on!" Alex's surroundings briefly changed into the set of Jeopardy with the big board behind him with Job tavern listings as the golden glow continued to overtake his body and he felt himself fully transform from his human identity into his canine form which had light terracotta (golden brown) body fur all over his body while his undercoat was an off-white in coloration. He had a short-haired HOT Retriever like Hellhound body as his head inflated to become that of a Retriever Hellhound in appearance with his golden owl-like eyes and his retriever like tail also grew out behind him and then the Freelancers Job Tavern official collar with ID tag and the number VIP-J15 appeared around his neck. Then there came a second flash of golden light as the game seal of the Freelancers 2 role-playing game appeared in his background briefly before he found himself on his feet where he beamed proudly before turning to face the audience. "Jeopardypaw!"
Jeopardypaw grinned. "And now for your host... Owlex Trebayk!" He winked with a sly grin. Bogbayer knew what that meant even if the others didn't. But they were too busy cheering for the new Hellhound that had appeared before them. That is until he turned his eyes to gleam at the others. Then they went silent. "Don't like my eyes? It was my choice, my friends."
The Shaman smirked. "A good name and a creepy eye extra to acquire as well. That should scare burglars at night. Shall we have some cake and drinks?"
Jeopardypaw powered down into his human form before going over to the arrival area where Alex used his other ability to learn the teleport spot and then he returned to the table and sat with Bogbayer, Falconsong and Timefrost. Alex said, "I missed seeing you, Timefrost. Don't stay gone so long next time. You are family."
Timefrost said, "Now that you don't smell like a fresh virgin, I will be around a lot more often. There is much knowledge I can share with both you and Bogbayer in your new business."
Alex said, "Oh? So you have a thought about S'taurrior Advanced? Let's hear it. We don't have anything programmed as yet."
Bogbayer leaned forward in his seat; Timefrost was a wealth of programming information. He knew his stuff.
Timefrost said, "Based on what we know of the old S'taurrior players, this is my idea... You can take this with a grain of salt, but this is what I think will happen. The players will bitch and complain when they see other species in a game that was Taur-specific to start with. They never wanted Bert's human inclusion into the game at all. And that is one of your planned species to put in by LucasArts own request. So to solve this dilemma, you program the game this way... For prejudice players, they can play their own species genre in the game for up to Level 20 before they reach a screen that says, [Congratulations for winning the game. You will now be shown the high scores list before you are taken back to the welcome screen to either start over or delete your character.] The High Scores list will be for prejudice players only. If they played Taurs only, then they are shown the Taurs only high score list. If they were human only, then they are shown the Humans only high score list. Same for Hellhounds except I think Hellhounds are more open minded toward having human assistance in their star ship crews. Taurs are whiny cry babies if they don't get their way. The only way to see the entire game is to have all three species in play during your playing experience. I know you were planning on Difficulty ranks, but for prejudice players, they should never be allowed to play above Easy Difficulty and they should never have access to PVP ever. Their minds cannot handle an advanced game. And the game would not be advanced without all three species at a player's disposal. Anyway, that is my thought. For prejudice players, the game ends at Level 20 despite the intro movie mentioning over a hundred levels of game play. It would be their own fault for being racist. Teach them a lesson. Thoughts? Comments?"
Nearly every Hellhound in the Tavern cheered and said that Timefrost knew what he was talking about.
Bogbayer asked, "How would we get the prejudice player into their own selfish game? I think they would be too immature to go into settings to turn on Taurs only or the rest."
Timefrost grinned. "After setting up their player accounts, a message would appear below the greyed out Login button that read, [Do you wish to experience all three species during your game play? YES or no.] If they click no, then the following message appears which reads as, [Choose your species genre of choice: [Taurs], [Humans] or [Hellhounds].] Regardless of what they choose at this point, their player account is locked to Level 20 and it is their own fault. To fix this, they either have to delete the entire game from their DONK.OS laptop or ask an admin for help if they accidentally chose no. We would be able to see if they played to level 20 or not. If they lie about clicking no and play to level 20, then we tell them that their player accounts must be purged in order to fix the problem. They lose everything. No back-ups permitted during prejudice playing."
Alex smirked. "That would make them bitch even more! But I like that idea. But on the Yes and no choices, there should be a, [Are you sure you want to make this choice? Yes or no.] That way if they click no and change their mind, they can click no again to return to the first yes and no selection. Otherwise, it continues on into the prejudice species choices. And their choice is recorded in admin records so we can look at what they did no matter what they say they did."
Timefrost smiled. "Now you're thinking ahead. Good players will say yes and get the entire game. Prejudice players will get up to Level 20 and no longer be able to continue."
Bogbayer smirked. "And make it so if you chose the Prejudice route, you cannot communicate with anyone else in the game except other racists of your genre and the Admin staff. The rest of the game would be off limits in every way to them.
Timefrost said, "I think you boys are starting to figure this out. Reward the good players and punish the racists. And follow the same format in any other games you develop."
The D.I. Imps then said, "It is time to establish your personal account and company account. What is the company name first, if you don't mind telling us?"
Alex said, "The company name is Bog-Owl Data Services or BODS_ for short. It is already listed on the DONK.OS game companies list and has one text game linked to it."
At that point, the Direct Investment accounts were set up and Bogbayer deposited a good part of his stipend into the Company account.
