 		They seem to like me! They seem to like me! Very Happy

Dear Mr. Quistarktan,

I hereby apply for a position within Our Enlightened Society.

1. [name]
2. [email]
3. Why are you a good fit for this position?

I am very interested in new challenges. I am fluent in three languages, a very discreet person and up for new experiences.

I would be pleased if you could send me further information about your promising Society.

Sincere regards, [name]


Three minutes later:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dear Madam,
It is pleasant to finally have a female apply for this post. You may be the most promising so far.

Unfortunately, you cannot learn more about OES until you are a member. A very active member.

In Elbrahim We Rest,
Quistarktan


And then I got the Recruitment Form #01980.

hmm... could be. that seems much more biblical than this so far, though. keep it in mind, though

I actually thought OES stood for Our Enlightened Society

I answered to the "would you kill" question that I would only kill in self-defense and that I'd rather take different measures to protect the Truth. Hope this doesn't compromise my chances Laughing

 		I responded to the questionnaire. No reply yet. I'm also a bit creeped out...and worried about all the cryptology. I suck at that stuff.

I thought of Eastern Star earlier, but I don't see how it could be that. My grandparents were involved in Eastern Star years ago and it just wasn't weird enough to fit into whatever this game seems to be.

No difference here. I just said "different measures than killing".

And @OES: Sure stands for Our Enlightened Society. Just the AOES is unclear. But I already asked Q. whether this is the head of OES or maybe even a competitor.

Oh, and I think I was wrong with my "Mr. Quistarktan" in the email, as Quistarktan seems to be an organization/body or something? (See Privacy Policy "Quistarktan and any associated organizations are"). Doesn't sound like a person, or am I wrong?

Maybe they didn't tell you EVERYTHING about the Order?? Shocked

Nah, I'm just kidding. More than likely OES is just some made up organization.

 		Oh noooo. I actually got turned down Sad

I tried to be secretive about my registration and Quistarktan didn't care for it much.

This is what I sent to Quistarktan:


Quote:
1. Full Name: [name]
2. Email: [email]
3. Why are you a good fit for the position: As a former high ranking member of the the MNA, I have proven time and time again that I am willing to do what it takes to get the job done, whatever the circumstances. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality policies, I am unable to share in more depth my past experiences in the MNA, but I can assure you I am comfortable with "unfortunate circumstances" and understand the necessity of secrecy. When you chose me for the position, I know you will find me to be a valuable member of OES.


By the way, MNA really means nothing at all, I just picked another "secretive" acronym.

I received this in reponse:

Quote:
Dear Sir,
Due to recruitment policies, you cannot be considered unless we know everything about you. If, at some point in the future, you feel this opportunity is important enough to break your confidentiality policies, please contact me again. Until then, I remain uninterested in your application.
In Elbrahim We Rest,
Quistarktan


I'd like to play, so I may have to break the confidentiality policies. Man, MNA is going to be pissed.

Don't creep me out about my grandparents now. Laughing I think OES is simply Our Enlightened Society. He calls it that in his blog. I think it's going to be part Indiana Jones meets Young Sherlock Holmes; part archaeology and part ancient cult. Elbrahim sounds Egyptian or Arab. Egdrish sounds like an alien. But pure speculation on my part.
