Just because they were never all listed in this thread Smile

...

From this thread...

Here's what I got from the directory:

82 Ron Daubert - Webmaster
83 Lisa Roman - Casting
84 Sandra Brown - HR
85 Lucy Jenner - Dir. Corp. Comm.
86 Randall Thomas - Dir. Operations
87 - Joe Silver - VP of Productions
88 - Mark Robinson - CEO

80 & 81 went straight to mailboxes without messages, 89 I believe takes you to the operator.

Just called and said I was Mr. Silver and that I needed my voicemail password reset. Omar said that he couldn't do that and employees are not allowed to call this number. When I asked what number I should call, he said he couldn't give that out. When I asked him who told that, he said he wasn't allowed to say and terminated the call.

Just wondering if the number is even worth the time because no interaction seems to be helping.

Kind of depressing. I thought some social engineering might work, but I guess not.

I just tried some of my own, though on a slightly different angle - claiming to be from Games Magazine (if asked, to interview Ron about Puzzlecards.net). Unfortunately, all I found out was what we already knew: He's been gone for some time, and they "don't know" where he is.

Ah well, I did tell them I'd call back in a couple days, maybe if there are any related updates by then I'll be able to get some more information.

Another TT Call

Well, isn't that just a complete and utter lie?

What do you hope to accomplish by doing this?

I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but by doing that, you obviously got the attention of the receptionists {the answering service who was told probably nothing about the game, but just to transfer calls to a VM number...} who in turn are prob running to the PM with your story, and maybe the PM thinks his host is worried about the hacking traffic, and might drop him... and maybe if you do actually get a call back, it's not going to be an in-game char, since you made yourself seem so out of game. Maybe it'll be the PM...

it just doesn't seem like a valid in-game situation anymore. it's like you are trying to tear down the curtain.

i mean... i could be wrong... those are just my opinions.

Actually, I'm not sure if it is just an answering service. When I called, the receptionist put me on hold for about half a minute while they checked if Ron was available, and then came back to tell me he had been gone for a while. This suggests that either they do have some information and the hold was a delaying tactic, or they know to contact a PM to know what to tell callers Either way, though, suggests they are at least somewhat connected with the game.

I have to agree about the "tearing down the curtain" aspect of that path, though. That seems to be going a bit too far.

If all of your friends jumped off a bridge...

Let's not get arguements of TINAG vs RP in the way of this experience.

If I had a say, I'd say just use common sense, and try not to lie.

Righto.
