 		ByoLeaks was strongly evident to me last night... I even got a threatening automated phone call from
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
647-931-4742
in Toronto at 1952hrs last night. It was tough for me to hear because at the time I was driving with the windows down, but the end of the call, the automated voice said "You have been warned." (If anyone else received this and can recall the whole message, I'd appreciate it being posted). I also got the following text messages from the same number:



First text received at 1924hrs
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Persistence. Potential. Perfection

Seems we've seen this one before. It doesn't, at first seem like anything major

Received at 1933hrs
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Competition divides us. In obscurity we gain strength

We've seen this, too. These are almost like ByoLeaks taglines.

Received at 1944hrs
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What is going on here. It\'s rotten from the inside out.

This feels like it was from someone AT the Launch Party to me.

Received at 1954hrs

WTF!

Received at 1955hrs

We know the truth. www.byoleaks.org!

X-Files anyone? Where is Fox Mulder when you need him.

Final Message received at 1956hrs

Hmmmm....

 		Unless it's my computer, http://www.ustream.tv/channel/byologyc is currently offline, so those of us who either missed the live stream or desire another look are out of luck. Perhaps they are waiting until after the last nights of the Launch (ending Sunday) before making the archive available?

Many thanks to dybs and caravel_44 for their excellent summaries here on unforum. Very Happy

With all the juicy details that have now surfaced, especially on the staff as well as the corp, I am somewhat concerned that the fairly easy give-and-take Twitter convo flow many of us have established with the characters will be diminished henceforth. Hopefully not - there's 3.5 months more of this wild ride, and the active interaction is a big part of what makes ByoLogyc stand high above many other ARG's where the players are more like passive spectators.

 		Smackdown!
Okay, guys. Earlier this evening Tyler asked me (IC) about a place to take Dahlia out to eat. I told him Insomnia, a nice restaurant near the Wreck Room (Launch venue) where six of us really did eat last week when I visited Toronto.

Later I tweeted and asked him if they enjoyed their meal, and he said he was too bummed to go out! (Dahlia also commented she was "running late" before the show and "not hungry" afterwards).

Their salaries have just been cut by 10% (announced last night), right in the midst of the Launch week where they've been working their butts off.
After I asked him if VIPs could help, Tyler said,
Quote:
YES! YES! YES! Tell anyone and everyone to message @chetgetram and @byologyc
to protest.

Then Denis tweeted,
Quote:
NO! NO! NO! Mr. Getram has enough on his mind without your help, Tyler...

So... here's your chance to get up in ByoLogyc's internal business a bit, if you're up for it like I am. Twisted Evil

Of course, no doubt the best approach for us as VIP's is to be polite advocates for our staff friends/mentors to management, not by rudely demanding. So this is my tweet:
Quote:
@ChetGetram @ByoLogyc I respectfully request you rescind the staff pay cut. They've all worked very hard on the Launch and deserve a bonus!

Well then, good luck, man! Considering his memos we've seen (not to mention the mysterious death of his dad and the rapid turnover in PR ladies), it might be just a tad dangerous getting too thick with Chet... it seems he 'takes no prisoners' as the saying goes. Wink

 		Ok guys, I'm back in town, and spending the day updating the Dropbox link with everything that's happened. I'll update ehre before the end of the day when it's done.

EDIT - So that didn't take as long as I thought. Good thing I was keeping up more-or-less while I was away.

Quite a number of changes:
    - All the pictures taken at the Launch event are up. They aren't necessarily in order, though I tried to arrange them in a way to tell the story of the evening from start to finish. (If you see your photo there and want it taken down, contact me, then contact Zed.TO on FB)
    - Relevant character updates are added to their profiles in the main ByoLogyc document.
    - In the ByoRenew folder...
    ** List of relevant plot points that I'm aware of.
    ** List of personal anecdotes. I'll add more if people want to send me theirs.
    ** I'm waiting for a write-up recap of the event and will link to that if one ever turns up.
    ** If the ustream feed comes back up, I'll link to that as well.
    ** An account of the employees' "My ByoRenew Plan" wishes. They were some of the clues to finding the boxes on the mobile site.
    - In the ByoLeaks folder...
    ** A subfolder with the contents of the unlocked boxes, as well as the videos with the audio files from those videos.

 		ATTENTION - All VIPs who attended the Fringe show

This is a call for anecdotes. With how the party was set up no one could be everywhere at once, and some things only happened certain nights. They are certainly things that you heard that others didn't!

Share your stories or comments so we can all put together a larger picture of the derision in the Byo ranks. Either PM me here, or feel free to e-mail me at friedeggsofinsanitySPLATyahoo.ca.

If someone could cross-post this to the FB group, I would really appreciate it!

Bernice just tweeted:

Quote:
Meeting with my lawyers, learning about immigration work rules, lovely chat with my dear friend The Honourable Judge Brown. No rest today!


and, 2 minutes later:

Quote:
Amazing how easy it is to have a foreigner's work permit revoked once their name is in the justice system.


Think this is about Henry?

i think it better not be!

i did call her on it by asking on twitter and ive emailed henry about it to see if i can score some info from him

shes got a right cheek if shes done something like that, given that shes been helping herself to the company money! i told her that also on twitter.

angela ‏@goo_goo_4_gaga
@BAHammersmith embezzlement is also another quick way one can get ones name in the justice system. #justsayinisall

pure nerve of the woman.

henry would be welcome in leaks

But Henry has also been taking part in international corporate espionage. If it really is him Bernice is talking about, he should be lucky he's not being charged with a federal crime.
