krystyn: I would have shot my brother five more times, dragged him to the roof and thrown him off if he tortured me like that.

Guess it's lucky I don't have a brother... Razz

So where's the LinkedIn? I missed that.

ugh, I hope they don't start encouraging creation of fake linkedin accounts. I don't know how much linkedin's been inundadted by fictional users or spam and whatnot, but isn't it like one of the last bastions of hope for legitimate professional networking? Confused

Toenolla, I don't think that spec is so wild after all, but it *does* sound wicked cool. Very Happy

Nighthawk, we haven't found one yet, they're asking for them from applicants.

Couple of new emails in my CRS inbox this morning. One from Jim asking for a bio so he can "properly introduce" me to the team, and one a brief exchange between Jim Feingold and Jim Stewartson of Fourth Wall Studios, which Feingold forwarded on to ask for my opinion on the RIDES platform Fourth Wall Studios has developed. Guess it's time for me to do some reading on the games it's been used for so I can offer an informed opinion...

Hi,

I stumbled across your website and the RIDES platform. Can you please send more information?

Thanks


There was an attached PDF which I'm sure you, too, can see if you email Jim S. -- since it's their real product, and it says CONFIDENTIAL in the header of each page, I have not included it. It's not like there's anything IG about it, anyway.

So, uh...anybody else get a job with CRS yet?

I don't have a fake one, but I am "connected" with at least five fake people.


So if I didn't get any sort of email, am I out of this?

I'm locking this thread temporarily due to recent actions of whoever is behind this game, in the unauthorized distribution of personal and proprietary/confidential information of real-life individuals and companies without their permission.

I'm not happy about this at all. The level of idiocy in the name of 'coolness' and 'innovation' never cease to astound me. I've removed Jim Stewartson's personal information, and I've confirmed with him that 4th Wall is not involved, which doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out.

This thread will remain locked until I have a chance to confer with the other admins to determine a course of action.

-vpisteve

[ETA: After discussing with other Admin, I'm unlocking this thread again. I'd caution anyone following this to be aware that the PMs seem to have no concept of privacy issues and have no trouble distributing non-fictional info or material that doesn't belong to them. However, this is an issue between said PMs and the parties involved. We'll continue to monitor this thread and promptly remove any further private info or similar materials as is Unfiction's usual policies.

Also, please be aware that 4th Wall Studios not only has nothing to do with this game, but has not given permission for themselves to be included in any way. Carry on, and be careful out there.]

Although I have an actual LinkedIn page, I feel weird sending it to them.

No matter, mail sent to "careers"...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Here's hoping that we don't have META problems like we did with Junko Junsui. Christ, what a headache that was. And I'm playing this to get away from that...


Anyways, I tried to sign up for a position with careers@; we'll see how this goes through.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.

What I'm thinking is that whomever so created this game is taking some time (and a step back) after vpisteve got so upset about the e-mail. Rethinking their approach, and whether or not they're going to keep progressing, and how they will if/when they do.

IMHO.

myspace page

This myspace page seems related... but no login by the user since 5/7//09?
It also says "Official CRS MySpace Page: Launched June 19, 2008"
http://www.myspace.com/conrecser
There's also a post here: http://xrl.us/bffr9f this person claims to be the "owner" of the company, and will be moving to Arizona. Says she's looking to see if the locals would be interested in it.

http://www.crsarizona.com/

---------------
If you view the profile for the poster on the thread mentioned above... it leads to a rather interesting place... Dunno just not sure what it is...
http://www.treasurequestadventures.com/

quote from http://www.myspace.com/wearevixenaz
"Vixen is currently recruiting Core Hive Operatives for spring-summer 2009. To learn more about Vixen, please visit the website: www.wearevixen.com and click the Recruiting link. "

---ok, I'm thinking it's all more UNrelated...

I can't tell for sure if those things are related or not.

I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by Vixen though, if you know what I'm sayin'.
