well it's definitely interesting how the receptionists at TT seem to continue there fabulous job of not knowing anything about their own company. and obviously, once upon a time a Mr. Richard Meyer had to have worked there... people don't send memo's to people outside the company. That's why it's called a memo. Fairly interesting. hmm..So I'd say we should definitely keep tabs on them... see if they change their studdering tune at all.

Hmm...i was thinking about posing as a serious contact, almost trying to be out-game but not altoghter, like som sort of journalist or something like that. Like a character who isn't a player but have heard it anyway, to see if they (receptionists) really don't know anything, if they are, what that is and why they are hiding it...

Thoughts?

I think that'd ruin the spirit of it all, Buff. You know, curtain issues. I would suggest against it.

just tried to ask for Joseph Silver again today. The receptonist is getting better at fielding our calls. she put me on hold for a sec then said he was unavailable and took my number. ill let you know if i get a call from him, but i doubt it.

ive been thinking about the TT number a lot. it seems that they WANT us to call for some reason, as opposed to some spec that they are sick of us calling.

the number is EVERYWHERE on the UH site and the TT site. and why do they have a live receptionist? wouldnt a voicemail be easier? if we cant get any info anyway, why not do it that way?

i think maybe we are supposed to use that number in the game. maybe our password we get from the memo is a voicemail password for silver or another employee.

i remember listening in on peoples voicemails in Majestic. but i believe the TT phone number is IMPORTANT.

Remember, the TT number is what was posted in the ads on the various casting sites. Most likely, it's an answering service most of the time.

Cooler than VM.

yes i agree varin that hassling the receptionists won't bear us any fruit at all.

i also think you may very well be right that the receptionists are there to add a layer of immersion.

but they DID put the phone number all over the place so that it would be a part of the game. so far, though, it hasnt been used in the game per se at all.

it is also true that the PMs are going to nudge us, but it was precisely that nudging (towards the TT memo) that got me thinking about how we could use a password once we find it.

i just couldnt help but think back to similar problems in majestic, where we solved puzzles, came up with numbers, and had to figure out that they were pins for a voicemail we got earlier in the game.

back to the drawing board i guess.

Also, this "game" was opened by Press Releases to real Reality TV casting sites. They expected people to be applying for this reality tv show - and not ARG players. Now, besides myself, who else playing this game is/was initially drawn into it because he/she thought it was a reality tvshow. How many people out there still think it is nothing but a reality tv show and they are sitting by their phones or mail box, waiting to hear if they are being casted in this tv show????? And then will be calling TT asking to speak to the casting director about their application?

Sounds wise...

[Dumb newbie]

Hi, sorry about the anonymous post but I can't get my account to activate.

Called TT(8/26) and ended up asking to talk to Lisa Roman(should have asked for Sandra, but was shocked by them picking up, even after reading the thread.) Told them my name and said that I was from "Rain City Productions" and that were going to be shooting a documentary on old hospitals with portable lighting rigs and cameras. Since my "boss" recalled web chatter about Dread House, we were wondering about some of their field crew's equipment set up and were hoping for some specs or to simply talk with some of the crew.

When I mentioned Dread House she stopped and asked me to repeat myself, like the phones were bad(possible) or like she was shocked. Either way she took down my contact info and bid me good day, saying that she would pass the message on. Since I'm normally a lurker AND I'm a n00b, this whole exchange blew my mind. Wow! And I understand that at this point asking TT about this kind of stuff is a little silly, but I was just curious and wanted to see if I could get a response, so beat me if you must-but please don't!

nice goin'

Well not Sweden...more like Seattle. "Rain City" and all that. In an interesting twist that we all know is their standard response I received no return phone call, but I did get an email (in response to the same cover story being used in emails to lisa and sandra) from Sandra Brown informing me tersely that dread house never existed more than an urban myth used by the competition to hurt upcoming shows. I'll carry this over to a different thread if it's deemed appropriate. Oh, and since I'm used to video game chat threads, I'm not used to the civility and tone that gets around the ARG boards-thus my fear of beatings

Citizen56, who wonders if "dumb newbie" isn't still appropriate as a name...

[Satanis7]

I just called TT
