 		Ok, VIP's I guess the word is being handed out.

Quote:
You've been a very productive VIP member -- just the kind we like! As you've probably noticed, you have a number of rewards owed to you based on your considerably accumulation of ByoPoints.

The most important of these, of course, is your access to Project ALT. Our first round of samples is currently in production at our facility in Markham, and we plan to ship these at the end of the month. In preparation for this, we'll need your full mailing address. You can send it to me by replying to this message


Also, select members with the higher points are being invited to Toronto for a live event and personal meet & greet sometime in late June/early July

 		Has anyone seen Byologyc's vimeo account before? There are 9 videos, but two that I haven't seen before are of Dahlia and a woman named Marie Leclerc, the PR Director, introducing themselves.

http://vimeo.com/user10410048/videos

Also, about Leclerc's accent--is the fact that she's so obviously faking it supposed to be in-game, or is it just unfortunate acting, lol?

 		Nice find Oats. Another name to add to my list. It's interesting that these two new employee profile vids are less than a week old, and why they would have two accounts, on YT and vimeo. The last is probably just more for convenience should YT take down any of theirs.

 		Dahila either slipped or was being outright obvious. In her video she mentioned going to wonders on the weekend. I was curious if this was a park near the CN tower as it is listed as one of the new 7 wonders of the world.

I haven't spent a lot of time up there around Casa Loma- probably the most has been wandering around Nuit Blanche and experiencing the nightlife. If you get my drift.


Translated french is "white night" It is also a festive in Sept held in Toronto. Probably our end game. It looks cool so here is the link to make plans.

 		Nuit Blanche isn't the endgame, it's one of the planned major events... as per the IndieGoGo outline:

Quote:
ByoLogyc: Where You Become New
July 4 - 15, 2012 (Toronto Fringe Festival)

A multi-threaded narrative adventure set during the launch party for ByoLogyc's latest and greatest lifestyle enhancement innovation. Participants are transformed into interns and are assigned to one of 10 different departments inside the company, each one offering a unique look at the celebrations – and the conflicts within the organization. This event will be a part of the 2012 Toronto Fringe Festival.

Patient Zero
September 29, 2012 (Nuit Blanche)

An interactive site-specific installation during Nuit Blanche 2012 that mirrors the conditions of real world pandemic and quarantine procedures. Revealing the fatal flaws in ByoLogyc's miracle product and their vision of the future, this event will 'process' over 900 participants throughout the night, giving them a unique look at the incidents leading up to the final cataclysm as well as a choice in how they will be personally involved in it.

End Game
October 15 - November 5, 2012

The centrepiece of our narrative, a large-scale and highly interactive 4-hour event set at a rural site north of Toronto. Running nightly over a period of several weeks, the experience will begin the moment participants step aboard the buses delivering them to their destination. They will explore multiple narrative threads through in-person interactions, moral and personal choices that affect the story in real time, large-scale spectacle, a communal meal and (of course) the end of the world as we know it.

Wineries. Where they make it and you drink it. It fits with her plans that she tried to make on her first week on Twitter. Though I can see where the confusion came from; the sound wasn't top notch.

Now that the VIP program is up and running I may take some downtime this weekend. Anyone have suggestions of a winery within a 4 hour drive?

Dahlia sent me something else too.
Quote:
Old houses are pretty awesome, I will give you that. Do you have any photos up of any of your tours? I'd love to see them. Also, glad you enjoy my smartphone tagline. So many are unoriginal, so I'm trying to make it at least a bit better than "iThingy" or what have you.

She wants photos of visits to Toronto. She asked me but I don't have any seeing as the last time I was there was 85 and I was too young to have a camera. This could be something that we may need to cultivate in the game.
Her smart phone tag line is very BioLogyc as well

Gearing up for some great @nxnefest festivities this weekend.

@sal_hci
@FelicityChapman @nxnefest Are you going to keep @DavianBaxter and @ChetGetram in line?

@FelicityChapman
@sal_hci Haha No one keeps @ChetGetram in line. I believe @DahliaJoss will be keeping the other boy in line tho. I'll be all over the place.

Seems like there's going to be a whole crew there (theoretically). Have fun those that make it to the talk.

Greetings From Marie Leclerc, ByoLogyc's New PR Director
June 11, 2012

Hello there!

My name is Marie Leclerc, and I was recently hired as ByoLogyc's new Public Relations Director. I know that this company has seen a lot of PR Directors in its time, but I plan on putting the ByoLogyc brand on the tips of everyone's tongues!

As PR Director, I'll be stepping in as one of the VIP coordinators, and I look forward to communicating with you. I have big plans for involving our VIP members in our promotion strategies. Heading into the future, I want to see all of us promoting ByoLogyc through social media, face-to-face interactions and any other avenues that you can think of. I think we'll be SO much more successful if we show even more pride in our work, and showcase it for friends, family and the world to see.

As a first step towards working together, I thought it would be nice to put a real face to all the names you've been seeing. I've convinced all the VIP coordinators to record introduction videos, so you can get to know them better.

■Olive Swift: Watch her video!
■Dahlia Joss: Watch her video!
■Marie Leclerc: That's me!
■Henry Chan: I'm told Henry will have his video up pretty soon, as he's quite busy.
■Tyler Wyatt: Watch his video! Like me, Tyler is a new face in the VIP Initiative. As ByoLogyc's Creative Director, we'll be working together to find new ways to involve you VIPs in our marketing strategies.
I'm excited to be a part of this team, though catching up on 20 years of excellence is a little scary. But everyone has been so helpful this far and I wanted to say thanks for welcoming me!

Please drop me a line, I want to hear all of your ideas!

Marie Leclerc
PR Director
ByoLogyc

P.S. I have one more bit of exciting news to announce! A comic artist out of Iceland has been working with ByoLogyc staff to document their stories as part of a research project. She interviewed me just the other week, and she was quite nice. Take a look at her work!



also found this but it is dead. h.getramSPLATbyologyc.com

 		new email from Henry Chan
Henry Chan sent you a new message:

Subject: A Special Task

"Hello,

Since you are a well performing VIP member, I have been asked to offer you a special task assignment.

As you may or may not be aware, ByoLogyc will presenting at the NXNE festival this week. This is of some significance, since ByoLogyc is the first biotechnology company to present at this festival. We would love for VIP members to attend, but of course, tickets are quite expensive. However, there is still a way for you to be involved.

If you would like to accept this task, you must have a Twitter account, and must be prepared to operate it according to our instructions at a precise moment near 5PM EDT this Friday. You will earn 500 ByoPoints for the task. In addition, you will be able to observe the presentation via an exclusive livestream.

Please note that you cannot accept this task if you will be attending the presentation in person. Also note that if you accept the task, you will be given sensitive information that you must NOT share with any persons who will be attending the presentation in person. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in the termination of your VIP membership.

If you are interested in proceeding, please let me know.

Regards,
Henry Chan"

Shoot, can't attend!!!

 		Zed.TO posted a link to the ByoLogyc related tumblr ByoOptic.

Kind of an interesting look at how the characters see things from their side.

 		Now to figure out if Ariel Hume is in-game or not... doesn't sound like it; sounds more like she's doing a 'legit' thesis on ByoLogyc the company, not ByoLogyc the fictional entity...

as per post #1:
Quote:
Halló!

I'm Ariel Hume, a comic artist. You are entering the world of ByoLogyc, as seen through the eyes of its employees, and rendered in the form of a graphic novel. This is the core component of my thesis - I am completing my Joint Master of New Audiences and Innovative Practices at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.

I've heard so much about ByoLogyc, but like many, I know so little about what goes on there. I got in touch with the CEO, Mr. Chet Getram, who seemed enthusiastic about the possibilities of branding his company in a new, innovative way.

Through illustration I investigate. My research will centre on Mr. Getram, ByoLogyc and the concepts of 'Leading and Guiding', 'Performance and Communication', 'Entrepreneurship and Project Management' and 'Action Research'. Each comic is a small excerpt from my final thesis, and shows an event from the past or present as seen through the eyes of a different employee.

It is my hope that you find this series as enlightening and mystifying as my time at ByoLogyc was!

Takk!

I could only find one reference to "Joint Master of New Audiences and Innovative Practices" on the Iceland Academy website, which sounds valid, but it's for someone else, and in the area of music... and can't find any Ariel Hume / comic artist connections. So yeah, I think Ariel's in-game =)
Could be a neat way to produce a graphic novel of the ZED.to project, as an element of the fiction itself... wonder if Ariel may draw herself into the comic if she gets more 'involved' in time Wink
