Deep breath. Agreed, they screwed up (why o why are these kids jumping into this stuff before researching and testing the model????). Totally needed more pre-launch testing. How could they have not seen the huge response it was going to get?

Can you hang on for just one more week? We're all on a learning curve and I'm willing to have a tiny bit more patience. On the other hand, I'm extremely disappointed in their "voting" engine (since I know that most of Elizabeth did NOT get to vote on Creed - if you look at the version that represents us in the branch vote - that one sucks!).

Palm did a nice video. If you do throw in the towel, I nominate Palm to replace you.

Can't accept the nomination right now - still not sure I am continuing on with the game yet. I might hang on for another week and see how it goes - this last week nothing worked and I wasted too much time on it.

Thank's for the video though; did the best I could without a camcorder or microphone. I have no idea if they got it or not though - I think I submitted it - never got a confirmation screen. My creed never appeared although I did make one.

EDITED: I just checked, and my video is not showing at the branch despite the fact that I submitted it - on time. So this is it - I may be dropping out at the end of the week.

 		Don't worry, I'm still going through the daily motions of approving employees and checking in on things. Just because I've given up on DMI doesn't mean I've given up on any of you.

 		The compilation video is up. Elizabeth, NJ is on it - not mine though, but congratulations to whoever sent theirs in.

I liked Waco Texas, Superior and TN.

 		So, the next task - easy enough.

Quote:
Task 4 - Schrute Farms
Description
Feedback is vital in the formation of a new business. Dunder Mifflin Infinity is constantly improving itself based on feedback between our employees and Corporate and we'd like to encourage this reliance on feedback by allowing you to comment on a side business of one of our employees in Scranton. Dwight Schrute, one of our leading salesmen, has opened up his beet farm to agrotourism. We'd like you to simulate the experience of staying there by posting feedback on your branch's Schrute Farms TripAdvisor page. You may also insert yourself into photos of Schrute Farms in order to better approximate the experience.

NOTE: Unfortunately this week's task is limited to confirmed branch employees. We realize that many of you have been waiting patiently to be hired into branches. It is our hope that everyone's applications will be approved by their managers early next week. Once you are officially hired these tasks will be open to you and SchruteBucks for these tasks will continue to be rewarded.

Instructions
Download the following Schrute Farms pictures and insert yourself into the pictures using Photoshop or a similar editing tool, and/or take your own pictures with a digital camera. Either is acceptable. To download on PC: Right-click on each link and select "Save Target as..." and save the file to your hard drive. To download on Mac: Control-click on each link and select "Download Link as...".
Schrute Farms Couch | Dwight & Mose | Schrute Farms Barn
Schrute Farms Sign | Dwight on porch
Upload any photos that you've manipulated or created to show visual evidence of your hypothetical experience.
Write and submit a detailed account of your stay at Schrute Farms.
Read through all of the reviews and rate your favorites for inclusion in the company wide Schrute Farms review page.
Links You'll Need
Click here to upload your photos and submit your review.
Click here to rate your branch's reviews. Jim and Pam's review is also posted here.

Voting
After you submit your review of Schrute Farms, the members of your branch will read and rate their favorites. Corporate will pull the best review and it will be entered into a company-wide competition for the best review of all. All branch finalist reviews will be posted anonymously in order to ensure a level playing field for all.

Rewards
All rewards are payable in SchruteBucks, the official currency of Dunder Mifflin Infinity.

For submitting a Schrute Farms Review: Sb $50
If your review is rated Top 5 in the branch: Sb $75
If your review is rated the Branch Winner: Sb $200
If your review is chosen as the Company Winner: Sb $300
If your branch's review is chosen as the Company Winner: Sb $25

Prizes
In addition to SchruteBucks, if your Schrute Farms review is selected as the best overall, you'll win a script autographed by the cast of The Office!

Rules
Click here for Official Rules.

DEADLINE
There is no deadline for submitting your review, but there is a deadline on rating the reviews posted, so it's in your best interest to get a review up well before the deadline. Branch winners will be based both on number received and highest rated. Ratings will be considered until Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007 @ 12 PM PT/3 PM ET.


Unless you are like me and do not have photoshopping skills. I have pictures I want to use to put me/hubby into the farm pictures, but don't have the software/knowledge how to do it.

Anyone here able to help out a little mouse?

My imagination is tapped out after doing mine, but I can insert what you already have into the existing pictures they supplied if you want.

Thanks so much to Palm for helping me out with the photoshop pictures.

Please visit and rate my review. I don't think you have to be playing to comment or rate the review (click on the stars).

 		Memo from Ryan
Quote:
FROM: Ryan Howard, Director of Dunder Mifflin Infinity

TO: All New Dunder Mifflin Infinity Employees

SUBJECT: Exciting New Changes

As we hit the one-month anniversary of Dunder Mifflin Infinity, I thought this would be a good time to take a step back and evaluate where we are. Let me tell you: we're in a great place. Corporate is buzzing with news of our success. Dunder Mifflin Infinity has grown far beyond even the most liberal of expectations. We set out to change the face of paper and that face has already started to change.

We now have over 100,000 new employees - much more than our initial estimates predicted. As a result, DMI is expanding at an unprecedented rate. I'm pleased to announce that we'll be opening up 400 new branches this week in an effort to accommodate all of our new employees. Among these branches will be 200 international outposts. I never thought I'd be saying this so soon, but Dunder Mifflin Infinity has gone global.

We're opening these new branches because we're listening to you and we know how frustrating it can be to deal with so many co-workers. If you feel as though your branch has grown too large, please feel free to apply to one of our brand new branches. Also, in an effort to expand our ranks even further, all of our new branches will be opening with an Open-Hire policy. All employees who wish to join a new branch will be allowed to do so without the approval of the Regional Manager.

In addition, we've heard your requests about SchruteBucks and we're overhauling the entire compensation system. From now on, your promotions will not be affected by how much you spend on items for your Virtual Desk. Promotions will be based on total lifetime SchruteBucks earned, which you can find in the SchruteBucks section of your Employee Profile page. You will also see a new category titled "Current Available" which tells you how many SchruteBucks you have available to spend on Virtual Desk items. This figure is a combination of SchruteBucks earned through tasks and affinity points, the latter of which are obtained by completing non-task-related activities like posting photos or commenting on profiles. Affinity points are capped at Sb $100 each week and reset at midnight every Thursday.

We hope that you're as excited about Dunder Mifflin Infinity as we are at Corporate. These changes should make the experience better for everyone. As the business world is constantly evolving, so are we and we cherish your input as we move forward. If you have any complaints or suggestions, please let us know.

From Here to Infinity,
Ryan Howard
Director of Dunder Mifflin Infinity


We got some questions answered:
Week resets at midnight on Thursday.
Promotion based on total earned, not in your bank, so we can spend more on our desk.
And if you don't like your current branch, you can join an international branch. Sweet.

However, dear Jamesi, never fear. Your tireless little rodent is sticking with Elizabeth.
