 		[ARG] Wildfire Industries II: Electric Boogaloo
Well.. in #immersionunlimited one of the WI characters stopped by..

Quote:
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hello honey.
<Dionysus> Hey all
<RickJames> Yo.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, more people are starting to come back.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We do need to liven this place up! He he.
<Brain\Storm> give people free stuff
<Brain\Storm> thats always fun
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I like that.
<Brain\Storm> Razz
<Dionysus> Candy
<Dionysus> I like candyu
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Candy to whoever joins, then!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Double helpings to anyone who helps Seraphina find an ARG to play.
<Dionysus> Unfortunatly...
<Dionysus> AWARE is dead it seems
<Brain\Storm> promise me Deltina and ... wait i've already joined... DAMN! Razz
* Dionysus holds a funeral
<Seraphina_Wildfire> AWARE is dead? Isn't that run by Real World Gaming?
<Dionysus> Well
<Dionysus> Its "delayed indefinatly"
<Seraphina_Wildfire> That's never a good sign.
<Dionysus> "I have been in contact with the lead PM. I am sad to say that there is no way this game will be starting any time soon.
<Dionysus> From what I could gather, the team encountered some huge setbacks during production, the largest of which was the unforseen loss of the lead PM for 5 months. The rest of the team tried to continue with production as much as they could, but got to a point where continuing without the PM was impossible, and they did not want to present a game that would not live up to what was promised. Due to the long postponement, most of the team was lost to other commitments.
<Dionysus> They said there would be some kind of statement made on ruaware.org, but that they feel really terrible about having to keep putting this game off, and wanted to thank everyone for their understanding and patience. So it sounds like this is on hold indefinitely, or until further notice.
<Dionysus> I will let you all know if I hear anything else
<Dionysus> "
<Dionysus> from L.Boomer
<Dionysus> It was supposed to start this year.. so.. its gonna be a hwile it seems
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh... from Mr. Boomer. This is not good. That's very sad... they helped us run our Wildfire Industries promotional ARG back.. well... a year ago
<Brain\Storm> a year + some
<Dionysus> I heard that was fun.
<Dionysus> I was.. looking foward greatly for AWARE. I was up under "Anythign Goes" and everything
<Seraphina_Wildfire> They were promising alot with that, weren't they?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Like, some scary stuff.
<Dionysus> YEs
<Dionysus> I wanted that so so bad
* Dionysus sighs sadly.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Sorry honey.
* Seraphina_Wildfire comforts Dionysus.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well... perhaps we can offer employment for you all again in the future.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> If that makes you feel any better.
<Brain\Storm> do we get health benefits?
<Brain\Storm> Razz
<Dionysus> I need a job.
<Dionysus> Stupid Lockheed and Boeing havent hired me yet. Jerks Smile
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, perhaps we will be able to make up for it. But, I can't say anything official, of course.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We're having some trouble around here.
* GMullen has joined #immersionunlimited
<Carrie>  ( GMullen )  People wonder why my mouse pad has a target on it labeled "BANG HEAD HERE."
<Dionysus> I didnt work with y'all before, but Id be glad to try and help out this time aroung
<Dionysus> What kind of trouble?
Seraphina_Wildfire> Three words. New Startup Company.
<Brain\Storm> trouble to the power of INFINITY
* Brain\Storm winks
<Seraphina_Wildfire> How did you know?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, they're called the Infinity Corporation.
<GMullen> well SW your in luck
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Run by one Lucious Infinity and his wife.... which no one knows her name... everyone just calls her Mrs. Infinity.
<GMullen> i happen to know of a great hitman
<GMullen> want his number?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Errr...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I'd rather not resort to violence...
<GMullen> awwww
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You know we don't do that Mr. Mullen.
<GMullen> to bad
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ok...
<GMullen> Wink
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Let me rephrase...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You know we don't do that often.
<GMullen> well
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Either way... they're taking employees.
<GMullen> if you change you mind
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We're in a constant rehiring process.
<Dionysus> Ok.... so what would you like us to do?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Right now, I'm not sure what you could do.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We don't have anything to beta test right now... the online employee program is in shambles...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> And we never released Blaze.Net because the damn thing fell apart every 4 minutes.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Sorry... I'm just frusterated...
* Shyshdy has joined #immersionunlimited
<Carrie>  ( Shyshdy )  welcome to the chatroom where the players play, and they work out them puzzles like every day
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Perhaps stressed out.
<Brain\Storm> just keep in touch Sera... i'm sure there's a few ex-employees that would rise to the occasion again.
<Dionysus> Its ok.
<Dionysus> And some new ones as well.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Personally... I don't know if I want to ask you all back.
<Brain\Storm> you might have to wake them up if the time comes though Razz
<Brain\Storm> aww
<Brain\Storm> why's that?
<Dionysus> Why not?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, let me put it this way, it's for the same reason I'm scared out of my mind.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ms. Viper was shot last weekend by a sniper.
<Dionysus> ...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> She's ok... but she's been wounded.
<Dionysus> Holy shit.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Mr. Rainman has guards around the building 24/7 now.
<GMullen> corporate espionage???
<GMullen> ...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> It gets worse...
<Dionysus> Worse? *gulp*
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Our very own Mr. Hackett... he worked with Mr. Stockholm on Firenze's programming.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> His car blew up one morning when he went to come here to work.
<GMullen> ....
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Turned the key... and...
<Brain\Storm> he died?
<GMullen> sounds like my hitman
<Seraphina_Wildfire> *nods*
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Keith has been getting death threats. "If you come to work, you will die."
<Dionysus> Jesus.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I don't know what's going on around here anymore.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We have nothing to hide!
<Dionysus> Look, maybe we can help.
<Brain\Storm> why little ol' harmless techie Keith?
* Brain\Storm ponders
<GMullen> SW i'm a registared body guard if you need me i'll be there
* CreativeEmbassy has joined #immersionunlimited
<CreativeEmbassy> I hear there's a certain Seraphina Wildfire here...
<Dionysus> Things are.. nasty, CE
<CreativeEmbassy> Oh?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Firenze's programmer.... The techie who worked on Synagoga... Hey Mr. Embassy...
* Shyshdy has quit IRC (Client closed connection)
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I'm worried about her. I'm worried that someone wants her.
<Dionysus> You think Infinity COrporation may have something to do with this?
<CreativeEmbassy> I forget, where is Synagoga now?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I have no clue.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> She's living with us.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Upstairs, room next to mine.
<CreativeEmbassy> Ah, ok. Well, say hi to her for me!
<CreativeEmbassy> Very Happy
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I will. I'll make sure to do that.
<Brain\Storm> so...
<Brain\Storm> you have no threats to you Sera?
* Dionysus rolls up his sleeves
<Seraphina_Wildfire> No, thank god.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I just... as of now.... I don't want you guys back.
<GMullen> ...
<GMullen> well lets think]
<Seraphina_Wildfire> The atmosphere is too dangerous.
<GMullen> we have keith with death threats
<Dionysus> I know I am willign to take a little risk
<GMullen> viper shot at
<Dionysus> hackett blown up
<GMullen> and...
<GMullen> ever find his body
<GMullen> ?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Let's not talk about that...
* Dionysus winces
<Dionysus> Sorry, Sera.
<GMullen> ...
* GMullen looks around
<Dionysus> Well.. look.. you gotta give us something. I HATE sitting on my hands.
<GMullen> SW why are you here?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> *sigh* Let's just forget I brought this up... I came here to relax, Mr. Mullen.
* GMullen thinks
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Just.. wanted to at least see if there were some ARGs I could play.
<Dionysus> Well.. a new on benjaminstove just started.
<Dionysus> Kinda slow though
<CreativeEmbassy> www.whoisbenjaminstove.com
<GMullen> trying to get out of reality
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I wouldn't mind slow.
<GMullen> or into i should say
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Thanks... I'll look this game over.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Looks kinda interesting.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Better than some of the others I looked at.
<Dionysus> Findaraya is kidna nifty.. but hard to get a handle on
<Dionysus> Very.. open, I guess
<Dionysus> Anything we suggestion our PI do.. he does
<Dionysus> We've gotten him drunk.. what.. twice now? Wink
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Wow.
<Dionysus> Well we sent him to bars. Lookinmg for clues.
<Brain\Storm> i'm waiting on the summer, I hear Haxan is maybe behind something

 		I wasn't into the Wildfire side of the ARG, but Synagoga was AI's done right. I'll keep my eye on this one, since I haven't played an ARG since Synagoga. I'm feeling out of practice.
