 		[INTERACTION] Communication from & with Milwaukee Residents
Check if there is a specific thread for the resident first!
Hello! A new thread to track correspondence from and with the peeps from the Milwaukee Tourism Commission and other residents of Milwaukee.

3rd of December - Twitter from @ChuckDideEate:

Tacolaza salad? A Taco Lasagna crossover???

 		Sweet, I just posted this to the other forums....and it seemed out of place.

Gamboling for anyone wondering:
gambol
Verb
[-bolling, -bolled] or US [-boling, -boled]
to jump about playfully; frolic

That sounds more delicious than a ham burger.

 		In the spirit of things, I have the urge to pick his twitters apart for clues....unfortunately they seem pretty straight forward. Like an online-current-to-the-minute-food-journal.

 		I feel like Chuck must be in some position of power if he's able to eat out all the time and go gambling. Somehow it just seems like your average Blackstar worker doesn't have the sort of funds for that. The poem did say he (or, rather, the duke) had a big purse.

 		Just got an e-mail reply from Mars Madison, one of the recipients on those recent "reply to all" e-mails. My initial e-mail and then her reply:

Quote:
Me:
Hello, I'm trying to find out more information before moving to Milwaukee. Is there any way I can get some contact information for Blackstar or Febrizzio's? I'd like to learn more details about the incentives I would receive for relocating to Milwaukee.

Also, I apologize if this is random, but you have a very lovely name.

Thank you for your time!

Mars Madison:
jon,

sorry, i can't tell you much. just moved here myself...dont even know why i was on the receiver list of that freak-out email. (got this address assigned to me after i moved in.) seems okay so far, worth the trip, but i 'm having some trouble meeting new people (not in to the whole nightlife thing very much...)

thanks for the compliment on the name Smile

Mars

I'd like to think that in (the future?) Milwaukee all meals are created by mixing leftovers together and then giving them awesome names.

 		Future is now.
The troubles were a 300 day period. LAST YEAR. The game is present day.

They just totally lost all memory of the past and have created a new dating system.

 		I emailed Madison too.
Just asked a bunch of questions essentially. Trying to figure out what life is like there. And how she got there.

Mars-

As someone interested in moving to Milwaukee, I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions, to find out about the area?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you come from? I'm currently in St. Louis, and was wondering what the journey to Milwaukee was like for you.

Also, have you had any problems finding a job up there? What about high-rated housing, for my family?


Will post if I get a reply.

 		The Charles Jagoda on Facebook seems to be totally out-of-game. He had no idea about the "ChuckDideEate" Twitter page when I messaged him, and said he would let me know if he found out why his picture was being used on the page.

A bit strange... why are they using his name and likeness if he has nothing to do with the ARG? Seems a bit foolish, surely they would realise that he would have people tracking him down and pestering him about it.

Please don't bother him on Facebook, anyway - consider him OOG and Milwaukee's "Chuck Jagoda" to be a fictional character.

I thought this was pretty well established. He had been contacted previously and had no idea what was going on.

I certainly hope that him going to the PMs doesn't wreck the game.

 		I am certain that Charles Jagoda knew what he was signing up for when he did this video. That said, if not, I'm sure they got the proper paperwork signed by him to use his likeness for the game, whether he realizes it or not.

 		My correspondence with Mars Madison continues:

Quote:
Me:
Hi Mars,

Thanks so much for the reply. I can understand the whole trouble-meeting-new-people situation. I'm not much into the nightlife thing either. What about coworkers? That's usually a good way to meet new people, right? May I ask where you're from originally? Since I'm planning to move, I'd love to hear what your experience was like and what you think of Milwaukee so far.

-Jon

Mars:
hi again jon,

i'm a freelancer, so i don't work for blackstar or for the city, but everyone gets assigned an email when they move here. i've got one friend so far (she works at BS), and she's great, but i'm trying to force myself to make more friends; i'm normally pretty anti-social, so i promised myself that i'd meet lots of people when i moved.

-mars


Not much info, unfortunately. :/ I wish I knew what magic questions to ask. Any suggestions?
