 		theres this cheat, if you change the url in task15, it will let you play for $bs over and over again, a lot of employees has done this to max out their $bs and the corporate wasn't too happy about it. But they fixed it now and also the maxed out $bs

 		The website updated last week with a new forum setup. Now all employees can communicate in a common area, while each branch has it's own private section as well.

We created business cards this week for the Task $bs.

Tonight the site is wonky.

The same message appears when email is sent to HELP. So I think something crashed at Corporate.

 		bugs in site
I logged in to try and accept a request for a friend. When I signed in I just got a white window on the popuop window, and could not accept the friend. I thought I would leave a comment on their page so they wouldn't think I was rude because they requested 2ce, and wasn't able to leave a comment either. It would stop responding.

So if you are reading this "SOUL" I am sorry - I tried.

 		 My Card
Sorry about posting 2ce in a row, but I am so mad. I thought I better get my card in - today is the deadline. Took the time to make it, and the first time the site froze so had to do it all over again. Finally got it done, tried to save and submit and I got a message "Sorry your card did not save, there is a problem with the server" Evil or Very Mad So I have had it once again. Thought I would share it here since I took the time to make it.

Well thank you, but I am not going to do it a third time. I will try and send it to customer service instead but don't know if they will count it that way. Tried over and over again and it wouldn't save, so I gave up and closed my brower.

 		For those of you who have ignored your workspace, now is the time to come back to DMI Elizabeth.
This week our task is to "hack" the NBC "The Office" homepage and create a tribute to Elizabeth NJ with links back to our own profiles or other "The Office" pages as we desire.
Come into the Forums to help Elizabeth with the Task 23 submission. We need your input.
http://boards.dundermifflininfinity.com/index.php?showtopic=3608

This is what we are changing:
Task 23 Template

Each piece is separate (we are working on a "To Do List" for the long orange paper; and also "Why Elizabeth is better than Scranton" on one of hte postits.

Ideas & graphics welcome. All submissions go up on the forum or emailed to me, the Regional Manager. Then I submit our entries (1 for each section of the template).

 		If anyone is still following this (and considering that NEW EPISODES start next week), the Elizabeth branch is still alive and kicking.

Here was our final submission for Task 23: http://www.dundermifflininfinity.com/tasks/task23viewer?dmiab=dmi-us-nj-elizabeth

All those who had been active in the site for the past three weeks received $Sb 200.

Corporate has upgraded the Forums area for multiple communication options between different Branches (and maintained a private area for Elizabeth, NJ).

Coming up: Task 25 - Design a Party Flyer
Coming up: Elizabeth is sponsoring a Tax Day Party (burn those W-2s)
Coming up: Hilo, HI branch Cinco de Hilo Party (these island bums are very well known for their forum parties).
Coming up: NEW EPISODE OF THE OFFICE, April 10th (should generate lots of chatter and probably new employees).

 		Video
Well, I uploaded my video (not that great), but I am not holding my breath. My video from last October is still on the approval menu -

Ellizabeth, New Jersey branch at it's fantastic Launch Party. Only the best for Elizabest! is our motto.
Status: Under review
Submited: 10/14/2007 10:27am

So I really doubt that my new video is going to get uploaded for the vote, just like none of my entries have so far except one even though I have completed them all.
Here's my link if it never gets up there:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alu_Mc-x9ms

EDITED: I just got notice that it got approved, so I tried to upload it to the branch but don't see it. Hope it is there.

Also, my other video in the que is still sitting there since OCT.

1. make sure you select the "Task 26" folder when you EDIT and Submit to Branch (you'll know it worked because the $200 $bs will show up in your profile).
2. Just delete the Pending videos (that's what I do). You can upload them another time (when you want to get those extra Affinity $bs).

Here is my main video. I had to do a second one for my clone at the Hilo branch.

Welcome back to DMI!!!!

There may be a bug in the system. Apply at an autohire branch (like Hilo, HI) and then reapply back to Elizabeth. After I rehire you, try it again. That seems to solve a lot of bug issues.

None of us can find any of our latest videos on the Branch page. The proof is really in your $bs for the Task.

 		I don't think I am going to go through all that. I can't believe - another task I have done and I can't enter it.

 		 DMI UPDATES
1.0 comes to an end. Featured at Game Developers Conference. 2.0 starts in the fall.
http://www.gamespy.com/articles/880/880567p1.html

Quote:
The 2nd Worlds in Motion Summit at the Austin Game Developers Conference will have a panel that will use DMI as the focus of a panel.

"In an exciting development, Stephen Andrade, Senior Vice President, Digital Development and General Manager, NBC.com will be joined by Rajat Paharia, Founder and CEO of Bunchball in a first-of-its-kind presentation, titled "Dunder Mifflin Infinity: A Case Study in Using Game Mechanics to Drive Community Behavior." Participants will hear how Bunchball's Nitro meta-gaming platform is being used to drive user behavior and increase engagement on Dunder Mifflin Infinity, a social networking and user-generated content site for fans of NBC's hit TV show, The Office."


Corporate EMAIL wrote:
Dear DMI Employee,

Since our fiscal year is coming to a close, we wanted to thank you for all of your hardwork and dedication that made Dunder Mifflin Infinity 1.0 such a success. When we embarked on this journey together back in September, we were skeptical that a new business such as ours would survive in today's brutal marketplace. Luckily, we not only survived, we thrived. Thank you so much for making this happen.

At the end of May, we'll be officially ending the Dunder Mifflin Infinity season. DMI will continue over the summer with fantastic new tasks that are both larger in scope and more group-oriented. SchruteBucks will be no longer be awarded, however, so that Corporate can evaluate and reward the players and branches that earned the most SchruteBucks over the course of DMI 1.0. These high achievers will be compensated with some really exciting prizes, including real prize packs from the NBC Store and virtual awards that you can display on your profiles for all to see. The new summer tasks will feature exclusive desk items and great prizes, so don't let the lack of SchruteBucks keep you away.

At the end of the summer, we'll be launching DMI 2.0, complete with brand-new features that will take the company to the next level. Employees will start back as temps with zero SchruteBucks and climb the corporate ladder again with new and exciting tasks. Your virtual desk items aren't going anywhere, though, except to brand new desks. Also, we're changing a few of the more contentious features of DMI. Among these changes, branch managers will wield more power than in DMI 1.0 and we're cutting down the number of branches back to our original number of 100. It's not downsizing, it's consolidating. We're also improving our hiring policies in DMI 2.0. All branches will be open-hire for all employees' initial application. If an employee wishes to transfer, only then will the branch manager have the power to approve or deny the transfers into their branch. This will streamline the hiring process and make sure that every branch operates the same way.

Last but not least, we're going to be introducing a Manager Performance Review system to determine which branch managers will get to remain in their positions and which branches will be open for new management opportunities. More information on this will be posted soon.

We're so excited about Dunder Mifflin Infinity 2.0 and we hope you are, too. DMI 1.0 was a huge success, despite our myriad technical difficulties, and we're working to bring you the best experience possible in DMI 2.0. So sit back, enjoy the summer tasks, and get ready to come back to work in September with all of your friends and co-workers.

Sincerely,
The Dunder Mifflin Infinity Team



If any of you are still employees at the Elizabeth Branch:
DMI Human Resources wrote:
Dear Employees,

The Performance Review for Regional Managers will launch the afternoon of Monday, June 16. There will be specific participation and average score requirements to meet in order for a Regional Manager to retain their position in DMI 2.0. Employees will be given two weeks to complete the short review, which is due June 30.

Please encourage all your employees to vote in order to make DMI an even stronger community in its second year!

Sincerely,
Human Resources


Regarding the relaunch of DMI 2.0 in the fall:
Quote:
What will happen to my SchruteBucks now that DMI 1.0 is over?
Affinity points will not be awarded during the summer interim, however they WILL be back in September. You will, however, be able to spend your existing Sb all summer. Before DMI 2.0 begins, we will revert everyone's Sb total back to zero. Your DMI 1.0 score will remain posted on your profile, however it will not count towards your 2.0 results.
