Hehe, it was really funny. And all my colleagues, who thought I'm crazy after I told them about ARG and stuff, saw with their own eyes the totally weirdness of multiple realities Smile

 		Work address it is.

Summary of Drakurius' video link:

Theoretical physicist and 2057 host Michio Kaku speculates on the future of civilization.

The video is titled "The Future of Civilization"

I haven't watched it either since I'm at work. Funny comments though.

 		Hey guys, this'll be my first game, so apologies for anything redundant or rudimentary in the future.

I was looking at the photos posted on Yuri's facebook, and she references a Ferdnand Communications in her comments. Tried www.ferdnandcommunications.com, got nothing. Tried googling, got nothing. Is it a reference to the 08 game?

Also, I watched Drakurius's video. Talks about type 0 -3 civilizations, citing that we as a planet are on the cusp of going type 0 to 1. Major themes include the struggle between multiculturalism and nationalism. Terrorists and separatists vs a world gov't. Was the junker corp doing anything relating to these themes in the last game?

 		finalpont - Luci Fernand is the Chairperson of Junker. Fernand Communications is a subsidiary of Junker (see Junker website). It is based in Italy, althoug Yori says she thinks the picture was taken in London.

I suppose there's nothing new until the VIP dinner tonight.

 		I guess...

oh well...
btw I think Helen hates me, she thinks Im one of the people who entered to join junker(yeah right) so instead, of arguing I just told her Im too young(Im in 12th grade) then I changed the subject to a philosophical argument.

After I got the reply from Junker that said they had no use for me in Texas, but that Madagascar was a possibility, I replied and asked for a brochure or pictures of the building that is under construction in Texas (since I'm interested in that kind of thing). Here is their reply:

Quote:
Honorable Mr. xxxx;

Please send us your address, If you live nearby we may send you something on the mail. Or arrange for you to pick it up.

Best of Regards, and dont forget that UrNiCo Diamonds are the best and only present to give to your loved ones this Year.


What do you think? Send home address or work?


I always send it to my home address (aka the parents) since they screen their mail. It'd be cool if an IG person randomly showed up at your work...depending on where you work.

7:35pm me

7:36pmTanaka

7:36pmTanaka

7:37pm Me

7:37pmTanaka

oh, theres a gala event tonight in germany

7:37pm me

7:38pmTanaka

234,000 to be exact
7:39pm me

7:39pmTanaka

oh well good for her, i am stuck in this place and she gets to party

i dont like her and i dont even know her
7:40pm


looks like Yori wont be meeting Helen any time soon

Quote:
7:42pmTanaka

corporate psychology..... those 7 interns will really try hard to win the one spot that is. Which means that it will get really cut throat for them. not nice

competition kills

I kind of already knew this but hey Yori heard of it too.

edit:Helen is back from the Gala and we got to hear about what they are like, seems some people dont like the Junker president(neither do I) even though shes really talented

 		I've been searching for websites or connections between all of the companies listed on the Junker website. The only thing I've found is that Javelot is Frech for Javeline. That's all.

Also she is trying to upload pics of the helper monkeys from the phone she borrowed.

 		On FB I asked mentioned that my roommate had a few Koi, she asked me what type they are?....I just said I don't know.

So I'm keeping the dialogue open...

I love Con8 btw. Very Happy
