 		Dunder Mifflin Infinity?
Probable not going to be an ARG, probably not even a Timewaster, but http://www.dundermifflininfinity.com/ is at this point a mystery.

Just thought I'd pass it on...
If it does turn into something official for The Office, it could definitely end up being entertaining Smile


[EDIT] Moved back to N&R for the start of season 3 -Gisk

 		Re: Dunder Mifflin Infinity?
The source also mentions "Office 360."

Looks like part of this maybe: http://www.tv.com/story/9547.html?q=

 		Found this in the source as well
meta name="description" content="Official Site of Dunder Mifflin Infinity, an online division of Dunder Mifflin, Inc. Paper Company." /

Dunder Mifflin, Inc. Paper Company is from The Office show, so I believe Lovek has hit the proverbial nail on the head

 		Axys, that was mentioned in the first post Wink The Office is a riot, and I just got my Season 3 DVD set.

Anyway, applicable exerpt from tv.com:

Quote:
NBC is ramping up its online presence, expanding "Heroes 360" and launching a similar project for The Office.

In addition to making extra content available on digital platforms, "The Office 360" will allow online users of NBC's Web site to create their own branches of the comedy's fictional Dunder-Mifflin paper company with different challenges to complete. The branches could be integrated into a network episode of the show.


Interesting...

 		http://www.dundermifflininfinity.com/ was officially mentioned on a commercial during last night's rerun of The Office ("Beach Games"... hilarious).

I'm filling out the employee application (Do you want to apply for regional manager or just a regular employee). Unfortunately I don't have a code from the Season 3 DVD for bonus SchruteBucks.


Looks like if you get 15 employees you can have your own branch, but during the first application you have to pick a city or something. I'll manage an Unfiction branch if anyone is interested.

I'm loving this already.

ETA: Oh, looks like you pick a city and then get employees. Well, I chose Independence, MO since it was close to me. Anyone want to sign up to work in my branch? If so, you need a Branch Hiring Code of v5mqyzoosf

ETA2: Looks like there's not much to do until Sep 27 except fill out your profile.

ETA... Again: WHOOPS! I didn't read two posts up apparently. We can go with kurt5510's branch instead, although I've got a few employees on mine already so I'd have to shuffle them. Re-structuring, already?

 		Manager or Regular employee
I see Kurt has already volunteered, but no offense, I would like to be a manager too.

I am recruiting employees! I have been a member for awhile and would guarantee to last through the season without dropping out - to represent an Unfiction group.

I would like to be a manager if I can get 15 people to back me here.

Here would be my responsibilities:

"Being a Regional Manager isn't all fun and conference room meetings. It's hard work. As manager of a Dunder Mifflin Infinity branch, you're responsible for conducting the day-to-day operations of your branch, including administering the voting and submissions that accompany some of our tasks. Of course you'll also be motivating your branch to win as many SchruteBucks as possible so they can win great prizes and show Corporate which Dunder Mifflin Infinity branch is the best. Sound like fun? Get fifteen employees to sign up with you and you'll be managing your very own Dunder Mifflin Infinity branch in no time."

I have no idea what this will entail, but would try my hardest.

If not, I will jump in with someone else.

So here is my CODE

v5mqyzoosf

Toledo, Ohio


(I would have loved Chicago, but there is not group avail in Chicago - so chose the next closest place).

Please sign up using my code/town and if I get 15, we have a group.


Edit: It looks like it all starts on September 27 with the first task.
