Wh00t! I JUST got my call, I was recording it, but it cut out after 45 seconds, sadly. here's whatI can remember:


Charlie3: Hello, this is Charlie3 from the Sandman Recruitment facility, could I please speak to Andar7?

Me: (OMFGOMFGOMFGMYFIRST CALL AHHHHHH!)

Yes, speaking, could you hold on just for a second please?

*Fumbles pants fly, (these guys DO call you at the most innapropriate times!), brings up ROC text file, hits record on phone*

That's it, okay, yup!

Charlie3: Uhh, you filled out an SRI application not long ago?

Me: Yup.

Charlie3: Umm, well, the reason I'm calling you is because I work for the declination office, and I handle SRI applications that have been
red flagged (he emphasised this) by sandman headquarters.

Me: (Aww, crap, I'm not gonna be a sandman! Damnit!) ...yes. -_-

Charlie3: What that means is that for soem reason, your application is not gonna be proccessed for several reasons, this could be, um, inaquious (I think) contacts within the city, or, behaiviours in the city of domes, or a run-in with possible sandmen before, have you ever had any of those?

Me: A Run-in with a possible Sandman? Well, A sandman saved my life at one point from a runner, but I don't exactly believe thatwould have anything to do with it?

At this point the recording ended and iv'e forgtten most of it.. he semi-corrected himself (I believe he meant a runin with a possible runner) and went on to explain about how my marks were so high, that he'd be willing to give my application a Gold Star (OMFG) and resubmit it for processing if I'd be willing to answer a few questions? I said sure, and along came the questions:



A Sandman Should Never hunt for...?

What is the proper Abbreviation for "Maximise Final Impact"?

The Leader of the sandmen has 2 Stickmen that are only to be used by him at all times. who are they? (ABSOLUTE OUT THERE SPEC: COBY3 AND EILEEN5! )

What is the most partners a Sandman should have? (I replaied Eight, of course but then remarked I usually had three. I could SWEAR he hit the mute button on his laughter, the pause was unusually long there. he then said that Sandmen really should keep their energy reserves at their maximum.. )

What is the name of the Crouch that all sandmen must perform?
(I was ready to crouch, but he didn't ask me to, sadly..)

He then said that things looked in tip shape, and that he would take off the red flag, stick a gold star on instead (I feel SO 1337) and resubmit it for processing again.

He then asked if I had any questions:
I Remarked that I had been thinking about becoming a sandman for quite a while, but it was a citizen by the name of Coby3 who made me submit my application. after a long pause (probably consuling with the PMs) he said that SMHQ DOES send out civillian requiters on occasion, but he hadn't heard fo Coby3. in fact, it may have been coby3 that got my application red flagged in the first place! (My reply: "Oh dear.." )

He then thanked me for my time, and ended the call. (the noise on the line faded out smoothly, like it was layered on, before the call ended..)


from this I determine 2 things:

1: I'm gonna be a saaandman! (gold stars rock man)
and 2: This. Game. ROCKS.

No call yet

Well, I'd gotten a call from Michael last week, but it was in my voicemail and I'd forgotten to check it. Luckily, earlier today Charlie3 phoned my up and did the quiz thing. Was it just me or does he take oddly long pauses? I felt almost like I was listening to a machine recording. In any case, nothing special happened. I hope I passed!

[konamouse]

I think he is trying to follow a script he was given. Could be actual interruptions at his 1) place of RL employement, 2) home, 3) dorm room.

He doesn't do very well when we try to deviate from the script.

He asked someone to "demonstrate" the crouch??? Bet he was drinking when he thought of that. Any more calls from Andrew?

[tim8]

just posting a voicemail that i recieved from SRI with a twist...

in THIS voicemail they actually tell me to contact THEM ("HQ") with a time they can call me...

TUX and I spec that they're trying to wrap up round 1 of the game... any thoughts?

[skilletaudio]

Kona, you seem to be reccently of the opinion that this is a grassroots/single PM game.
What all has led you to this?

I've read the through the ROC 1.6 billion times and I can't see anything that relates to anything else. If there is something there, then we need to pry some info from DC or something to try to solve this thing. I thought that since we were getting the calls that this thing was blowing up, but you're right kona...they do seem to be stalling. I'll study the ROC again and see if I can find anything, but I'm dumb so I'll prolly just miss it again.

Bliss.

Crap, I knew they were going to do calls while I was out in the middle of no man's land with no cell phone coverage or internet access for days. I just returned to the real world and up popped a voice mail they left me yesterday.

SMHQ if you're listening, I'm available from now on, although not a morning person. Coherent answers may only be given after my first cup of coffee.

Still not had a call here in the UK.

Yes, we all gave our email addresses as far as I know.

The only time I have given out my Mailing Address was when Coby3 asked for our ACTUAL location in his message to us.

I'm still waiting on my Spiffy Ankh in the mail. n.n
