End of the World? 2012? Sha Miyao? Game? Several members of unFiction received this email:

I know it's not likely we'll be able to stay in contact. You guys in Europe got lucky. If you wanted to make a facebook, you'd be able to keep up with what I'm doing. I have to get out of my house, but I'll be able to get online plenty. I'm taking my netbook with me, among other things. Long story...
I miss hearing your voice. I love you.

Sha then friended me and some others on Facebook. Which lead to the following exchange:
Sha Miyao is glad her computer still works. It's hard to keep the dirt off of it.
Jason FishWelcome to Facebook. Thank you for friending me. Where are you that you are getting dirt in your computer?
Sha MiyaoOutside. Seems the police would rather have all the houses empty than let us squat.
Jason FishI see. We aren't having that problem here. Most people are in houses. Police aren't around much in these parts. Aside from being outside how are you doing? Do you have friends or family with you? Do you know why they are keeping the houses empty?
Sha MiyaoObviously none of us can pay for them. I don't know who even owns them anymore.
I have no one with me. Before I left my house (I had about a month left before I had to leave), the people I had let sleep in there had a bit of a fight and I had to go before the police came. They're brutal now, and I really don't need any more bruises than I already have.
Jason FishI hadn't heard that it was that bad. It was good of you to share your space with people in need, and then to have them repay you by bringing the police down on your home was bad. How long have you been out of your house? Are your bruises all from the cops or from something else?
She then updated her status to say she was updating her blogger and logging off Facebook which lead me to this :

Which has some interesting stuff about the end of the world and mayans and politicians and such.

Just read through the blog. It seems it is another "I-didn't-read-the-Maya-calendar-properly" idea.
Oh well, it looked interesting, but shame about all the profanity and coarse language.

Lol I was wondering what the hell the email I got was all about, I thought it was just wrong email address or something.
Seems interesting so far.
EDIT: Doing a google search on her name brings up a google profile:
http://www.google.com/profiles/shamiyao I'm assuming it's hers anyway, it links to her facebook page.

Any chance this might be related to the "2012" movie promotion, Institute for Human Continuity? That game has both a corporation and a character outside the org, perhaps this is yet a 3rd character in that game?

No email, but was friended on FB and was wondering if this would turn out to be game-related.

I just knew I'd find this here!
I got the friend request on Facebook first - at which I was trying to figure out how I could possibly know her (with the exception of the Citizens of Gotham character Dr. Miller and Maddison Atkins, my Facebook is primarily personal contacts), then about ten minutes later, the email came.
Definitely keeping a (fairly close) eye on this!

Got the friend request too - haven't checked an e-mail. I, of course, have no qualms about language or coarseness.
Also, my interests include kicking puppies and bringing about pain and suffering.

A "friend" of mine got a facebook friend request... Would a corporate sponsored game have this many swears? Would a corporate sponsored game knowingly violate the Facebook ToS and have a fictional character post story information when the account could be deleted at any time by FB? I could be wrong, but I'm guessing this is a grassroots game.
Either way - I'll pass on this one (mostly because of the regular dropping of the F-bomb)

Think that answers your question, at least in my book.
Question is: is this a game?

Well since I haven't checked my email in forever I only read this message yesterday. friended her on facebook and am following her blog, but there doesn't seem to be any updates :[
and I can't find any info on her mom, Tracy, even though she mentions having her make a facebook.
annnnyways, seeing as I have no morals, I'll definitely play if this in fact a game.
