 		Ubiquasoft
Ubiquasoft@yahoo.com
While I was sitting in the #trustGU chat, I got an IM from a mysterious source. Or rather, I got a friend request from a mysterious source, so I IMed him/her/it back. A source so mysterious that it practically twirled it's own moustache. I will post that exchange here.

I sent this mysterious source an email but haven't gotten anything back from her yet. I don't know whether this is connected to another game, but it's obviously got a futurist bent, whatever it is.

The exchange continues!

Is anybody here named GyroZ?

That's the end of the conversation, because Ubi went offline after that. I guess all the information we need has been given to us.

I'm going to take my own babble out of the conversation so that it'll be easier to read the relevant materials from our mysterious person.

 		Apparently all the professional creative artists and web designers must have been killed in the Great Internet Purge of 2011... Wink

*EDIT*

After further review, I'm guessing http://quantcomp.com/ is OOG...

you mean via the yahoo address? Hardly a corporate identity, but whatever.

I'd leave the QuantComp people alone as being out-of-game. UbiquaSoft merely uses their products.

 		I'll be on and offline all day, so if anyone else wants to put ubi on their messenger lists, that would probably be wise.

 		Well now, this does look interesting...

I'm hesitant to enter another game, as I barely have enough time for the ones that I'm in now, but this just looks so cool...

I'll be lurking a bit, haha. Dream, when you said you got an IM/friend request, I'm assuming that it was from a YIM account?

 		I got a YIM friend request from Ubiquasoft too. I've accepted it, and I sent them an email asking for further communication.

 		Sounds like you might be tonight's lucky recipient. The initial conversation is

really

very







slow.

So, be patient. It helps if you reply to each message they send.
