hey guys,

i haven't been actively playing because ive been busy pm'ing my own game but i did go last night: here is my recap, keep in mind I know next to nothing about the story going in

i was invited to sit at the vip table to listen to davian and chet speak...davian was a bit of a mess: super nervous about something..he was all sciencie so i didn't really pay attention, but he did make a deal about "hopefully less rats will die in testing" OR SOMETHING to that effect

chet took over and was suave as usual and mentioned in 6 months there would be a worldwide reduction in infectious diseases, and in a year reduction in chronic? diseases

i tweeted that (on @kulturvulturz), but apparently i wasn't supposed to, it is all hush hush until the official launch; when I told davian he seemed pretty upset; he left soon after -- not sure if that was related

marie, i have no idea what department, wanted my opinion on their media package but was insistent we take no photos, i kept trying but there were constantly hovering over me

later when the bruce0 was looking at them i managed to take a picture but got caught by marie, i said i was just testing my camera and she wanted to supervise me deleting it; i pretending dropbox was the garbage can icon--she didn't really buy that but when i deleted it off my camera (not dropbox) she accepted that I did -- will post it later, but not very visible -- it could get marie in trouble regardless if it gets out

then they had me have a one and one with chet, and we just shot the breeze about his grand plans for byologyc for the future; i pressed him on how is it possible that byologyc can fast track past the bureaucracies of the all the governments -- and he brought up their reputation, trust, etc, and this has been in the works for a long time; when i mentioned davian had spoken in his speech about the current experiments, chet assured me they were merely cosmetic and had no bearing on any red-tape

everyone was very keen on getting me hooked up with tyler so i could work with him once i said media was my specialty...but no one knew where he was tonight -- and they kept saying things: oh you know what's tyler like

i spent most the night gossiping and flirting with brad, who is a big flirt by the way-- ahahaha (not just with me!!! he even hugged the girl who doesn't like to be touched and hands everyone wetwipes!!)....he brought up being stuck in a freight elevator during the vandalism at the factory; since he's production and distribution he had to burn all the product affected as it cannot be distributed

brad was also upset that davian had dissed an appointment or man-date or something they had set the day before he was stuck in an elevator, and to this day doesn't know what davian was up to

dahlia talked to dennis?? in the hallway at one point, and then FREAKED out, and then most the rest of the night people managed to keep them separate...later that night, she talked to him again, quietly, and i couldn't hear what was going on: then she walked away and either passed out? or had a little meltdown and just laid on the floor

everyone said she had been through a lot this week

bernice kept a strong face for the company even when i asked some pretty tricky questions, she was pretty sly at turning any possible negative criticism into a positive front for the company

olive was missing most the night as well and only showed up after chet left, and then was pretty fixated on him being gone; brad insinuated to me that olive slept her way up to her current position

brad has a bit of a self-esteem issue when it comes to chet and can't understand why chet won't play golf with him; as chet was leaving i shook his hand on camera and got him to commit to a golf game with me and brad: SO I EXPECT TO HIT THE GREENS ANY DAY NOW Wink

going to try to make it to next weeks event, but i also have another friend's launch to go to -- but i had so much fun last night, it's making the choice really hard

and just remember: YOU CAN PLAY MORE THAN ONE ARG at a time....ahahahaha *that's all the pimping I'll do teeheehee


brilliant recap... ! i have no idea which other arg your pimping at all but feel free to pm me Razz lol

thanks kindly for the recap,and great on the sneaky pic! Smile thanks again! xx

 		About the recent "attack" on the ByoLogyc Website... I've inquired with Dahlia about a couple of tweets she made over the weekend and this was what I received in an email:

And as for interesting things, a few VIPs seem to have uploaded an executable file in place of a jpg in our latest task - an exe that was sent out by Byoleaks. I spent some time pulling apart the code - I don't know whether to be more impressed or pissed off, to be frank. Most of the VIPs who uploaded it are not intelligent enough to comprehend what it does on their own (from what I can see) but whomever is behind it is someone who's playing on my level, and that's fairly rare.

How does dahlia know what constitutes an inteligent vip? crazyness Razz As far as i have gathered it didnt do too much damage. Someone got stuck in a lift. Production was shut down for half a day. it seemed to be blown up into more than it was.

Maybe she (character) would rather believe people are stupid than to believe that there are saboteurs in the VIP program. Maybe she (character) would rather believe that ByoLeaks dupped those who decided to do that. Or maybe there is damage off-stage that this virus did that is causing bigger problems (some sort of biological contaminant containment breach or the like...) Who knows.

Cool Hehe. Well, considering this is my first... I guess I might be blurring those lines just a little, myself. I've been kinda kissing up to Dahlia a bit, maybe in part because I really do work in IT but also likely because she was the first character to say something to me.

 		Hi all,

I recently hopped on board this ARG, first one for me. I've tried catching myself up on this forum and on the ByoLogyc page, and I'll try to be as much help as possible. Sending e-mails galore! I'm all the way in NM, so I won't be showing up for live events but I'm still really interested.

I've got a question: I'm not on twitter but I know it can be a huge source of info for this one, should I make an account?

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome crabbier! glad to have more people on board, and right before the big "launch"!

Getting on to twitter might be a good idea to follow along. This arg is less game and more performance based, so interacting with the characters is really central. Though it's really up to you; the boards will keep you up to date on all major plot developments.

I second what eggz said. You'll get more interaction with a twitter account. I made one especially for this.

I tell you what, if this weren't an ARG, I'd be pretty freaked out about all this... Wow! Kewl and scary all at the same time!

 		Re: ByoRenew
It's already "infected" me - I'm making a 12-hour bus trip (each way) from Ohio to Toronto so I can attend the Launch in person (although they've just announced a delayed live stream of it on Thurs. July 12)!

As likely the eldest VIP, I could be the Poster Boy for the Golden Years plan of ByoRenew. Shocked

 		FYI, I Checked the phone line to see if they had added any new options for the launch. Everything is the same, including the same recordings in the hidden ByoRenew section. No news here.

 		New People?
Hey guys, I was just looking at twitter and I think that there are new people getting added to byologyc? I'm not sure about some of them, because they don't have the typical "I work for byologyc" stuff in their profiles.

Felicity Chapman mentions @ElliottLoran in a tweet:
Quote:
Excited to have u on the @ByoLogyc #ByoBabe team today, @ElliottLoran! Looking forward to working with u for the first time!


I don't see anything on his page about bylogyc though, so I'm not sure.

And Keira Jade claims on her twitter that she's joining byologyc also, and it was retweeted by byologyc:
Quote:
Stoked for my first day at work as a @ByoLogyc babe! tonight is going to be a blast! @FelicityChapman #FringeTO
