a couple of things...

1) Elan no longer works at 42 Entertainment. He works at Fourth Wall Studios.

2) The likelihood of Elan quoting himself in a project that he's working on is about none (besides, Elan tends to leave the writing up to Sean who is super awesome writer dude and probably doesn't need to quote Elan, not that Elan isn't quotable or that Sean wouldn't quote him but probably not in a game).

3) The domain was ordered through dreamhost and is on a shared server there. That does not fit either 42 or Fourth Wall's behavior - recent or otherwise.

4) there is no spoon! no matrix either! there are only overused metaphors from the movies. (heck, when even the President of a country is inadvertently using them it is time for agencies to put them down. i know. sad.)
irmbi i dunno wut ur problem is y u gotta b so negtive lol may be elan went back2 42 n didnt tell ne1 bcuz this game is top secret lol thats prolly y they uzed dremhost 2 lol Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

How come I have to send materials and others don't? and... really, a portfolio? a LinkedIn Profile? Can't say I'm jumping up to do that. Sad

A portfolio of what? All the times I've punk'd my friends?

 		I received the same response about extra materials. I had assumed that it was because I did not attach a resume or facebook or anything like that...

I made up a clever little response to send him, we will see what happens...

If other people out there also did not send any additional info but did not receive this response please let us know, because in my original message to Jim I sent him a quote from the book that "the Game" was inspired by, I am wondering if that triggered this?

Phoebe,

Glad to have you on board. Sorry about about all the hullabaloo, during the interview process.
We're still moving things around so the process is a bit of a mess. HR will contact you about the paperwork.

Your login information is below, just remember to change your password. Security, you know.

Stick with me, you'll go far.

Jim

Hi Bill,

Hope your weekend was good. Can you create another temp account?

BTW, client LON5R0 was a no show. Just a heads up.

Thanks!


So, wonder who LON5R0 is...I meant to watch The Game last night to refresh my memory but unexpectedly developed a social life.

Nothing on the calendar through New Year's, no emails, and no docs yet, but this is looking like more and more fun. Very Happy

 		I really need to type up a resume, I'm sick of making up these excuses on the fly...

Hello! I'm sorry the following email is going to be so short, but we just moved into the area and I don't have much time today. I'd like to apply for the position of Tactical Intelligence Analysist, as that was what I did with the US Military. I still can't say much about it, so I can't give a proper
resume, but I can tell you I was considered one of the best in my field. Thank you!

My other Email just said "I'd Like To Play". And I do! xD
And I'll be a past customer when I find my phone.

 		My first ARG :3
I debated on sending in an application for Analytic Methodologist, but decided to go for player.
If that fails, I think I will go for the job.
Has anyone actually been accepted to play/work?
