 		I did not watch the movie (yet--considering renting it), but I read about it online after I got the twitter add...and according to what I've read, the player of The Game in the movie was also told that he would not be selected as a player, when in fact the game had already begun...so I wouldn't take that rejection letter too seriously Wink.

Most people here should recognize this, but i'll point it out: Elan Lee said, "If you're bored, you're doing it wrong." (42 Entertainment, look it up.)

(edit to revise) Elan is now at http://www.fourthwallstudios.com/

 		Rejected as well. I'm assuming that since NO ONE has been accepted, then we've all been accepted. Wink

Man, I hope they pit players against "employees". That could make for a very interesting game dynamic.

Got rejected and he subscribed to me on twitter. I sure hope I don't find all of my bank accounts empty tomorrow ;D

 		Well, my pushing on the why would anyone want to play angle got a response. It didn't really go anywhere but it did give the email address of jimSPLATconsumerrecreationservices.com

Well, I think the person needs to ask them self if anything is lacking. If it is, we can help fill that void. I can't really go over the specifics of the game as it's different for each individual. I hope you understand.

I believe that you misunderstood my intent. I am not interested in applying. I am interested in why someone would be interested in applying.

What is the benefit of your game over similar services?

 		Response to my staff application:

Quote:
Thank you for your interest in Consumer Recreation Services. Your file is now in progress. You will be contacted shortly if a position becomes available.

If you require additional assistance, you may contact our office either via email or telephone

Thank you for applying to CRS.


Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Edit: also, the homepage has changed. The quote about "blind but now I see" has been replaced with "John 9:25" -- "He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."

Also, the address has changed(!) to 1533 Montgomery St SF, CA 94133.

You think it's a legit address? I wonder if somebody in the area could check it out...

Going purely off Google Maps, I think it's another dud -- Montgomery goes to a 1400 block, then dead-ends at a section of park, then picks up a bit further on with a 1600 block.

 		Well, think of it this way. If something like this does occur, what are the odds that nobody from UF could get in?
