PHONE MAYOR: Aglaura Press Conference

Hello all....

http://www.aglauranj.org has been updated!

Quote:
In response to the incessant requests from the media and private parties asking for information about Aglaura councilman Mr. Dale Sprague and the recent tragic events in his life, Mayor Pat J. Dobbs will be holding a phone-in conference call Press Conference, tentatively scheduled for Sunday March 9th at 1:00PM EST. Please note: this time and date may change due to the Mayor's busy schedule. The Press Conference will be to disseminate the relevant facts of the situation as they are known to us and discuss the impact of the events on the Aglaura town government. The Press Conference will be limited to 7 phone-in participants. To apply for a spot, please send an e-mail by 11:00PM Friday, March 7th to pdobbsSPLATaglauranj.org. Please be sure to include any relevant press, medical, or other applicable credentials with your request to aid in our selection of participants. Eligible applicants will be notified by e-mail.


DON'T apply yet! We would like to decide who would be best for these spots before sending in the applications.

I can, of course, be Dr. Faust, if chosen. Does anyone else have characters they can play, or suggestions on who should be chosen to apply?

-Danny D.

I can play myself, in a role previously made famous by James Ingrahausen.

I am available for that day and am throwing my hat in the ring.

It looks like a precedent may have been set. The use of created credentials now seems to be POSSIBLY something that the PMs will expect from us. Perhaps we should consider going into character mode, and divide up some key professions that each of us can take on. We'll need lawyers, doctors, press people, coputer people, supernatural specialists, possibly even distant family members.

I think Cemgate, AKA Cemilita Gatenza, should DEFINITELY apply. Any other suggestions?

Recording

I dont think it's necessary that all applicants have recording capabilities, just at least one or two. Also, if you have a voice modem on your computer, i think there's a way to set it up to record calls. I will look into this.

Applying

OK, after some discussion in #ctw, the following people were suggested to apply for this conference:

the42guy - as his father, Barton H. Thompson Jr., Vice Dean of Law School at Stanford
Sin_Vraal - as investigative reporter fromn Deaddrop.US
Jamesi - as his own damn self
danman_d - as Dr. Stephen Faust, Dept. of Paranormal Sciences, State University of NJ

Obviously, neither I nor anyone else can stop you from applying. However, if you've got an idea for an alias you'd like to apply as, or you'd like to apply yourself, I'd strongly urge you to post here or in #ctw before applying. This way, comments and suggestions can be made regarding the best way to apply, as well as the ideals behind the applications regarding the information we need from the mayor. Before you apply, make sure you'll be around at the given time and date (1 PM EST, March 9 2003). Also, if youve got a device to record the call, all the better!

Good luck all!

-Danny D.

Sorry, I see nothing about voting on representatives or anthing. I just see, "email an application." Then they get to pick.

We could, I suppose, let people campaign, hold nominations, then hold primary elections, then do some more campaigning, have a focus group, get a quorum.....

sigh

Sure, but if only 7 people apply, then those 7 will be accepted.

I would highly recommend that much forethought be given to the questions and that they be appropriate for the roles the attendees have adopted. Perhaps with each attendee asking a different set of probing questions. One off the bat would be the identity of the construction vehicle involved in the accident and/or 3rd mystery vehicle, their driver's identities and whereabouts and, if it they have not yet been identified and the drivers questioned or apprehended (assuming the mystery vehicle driver hasn't turned themselves in which seems to be the case as no one has reported otherwise), why this hasn't become a murder investigation.

While it'd be nice to have a whacko... er, "Glass Day Activist" there, a sleazy tabloid reporter would be nice as well.

Possible Questions:

What is the identity of the 2nd vehicle's driver?

What is the identity of the 3rd vehicle's driver and if that is unknown, why aren't the police offering a reward for this person's capture and why has this become of a homicide investigation since they appear to have fled the scene of the "accident"?

What is the status of Dale Sprague and when can he be allowed to communicate with the outside world (I expect you to get the runaround here so it may not even be worth asking).

When were Diana and Meaghan laid to rest? When was the funeral and who are they survived by, besides Dale? We know Diana's mother is alive because she visited her prior to the tragedy but does Dale have any blood relatives? A brother or a sister perhaps? He DID grow up in that town so its likely he had SOME relatives besides Diana/Meaghan and other friends besides Bruce and Sam. Discovering who Diana's friends are would be helpful as well as she may have confided something to them about her relationship with Dale (and Bruce).

Who was Diana's intended divorce attorney?

If Bruce Abbott has power of attorney over Dale, does this mean he is paying off Dale's debts, house payments, etc. or is going to sell off the house and other few assets in order to try and cover Dale's legitimate debts and store all of the personal effects somewhere (where maybe we can have Sam Green bust in there for us)? Since we don't entirely trust Bruce, maybe we can see what happens when the brothers find out he's footing Dale's bills. Seems to be that Bruce knew all about the brothers and Dale's financial troubles.

What books had Dale recently checked out at the library (so that we may better understand his state of mind)?

Add your own to the list or feel free to comment on what should or should not be asked.

And no, I don't think anyone from NakedNews.com should attend the press conference. Smile
