 		And another for the articles:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
QC Initiative Enters Phase One
Quality Control is vital to the inner-workings of our company. That's why we have just allocated the necessary funds and workspace to facilitate all of the new employees who will be carrying out some much-needed product testing on a title that we plan to release in the upcoming months.

To those of you in HR, please make sure that these new recruits file their start paperwork on time and sign the necessary NDA's – we don't want the competition getting wind of our plans before we're ready to announce the next big Encom product to the world. Such a confidentiality leak would result in swift investigations and probable firings. [/quote]

Expectations Run High for Upcoming Announcement
The Encom press conference will take place less than three weeks from now, and our west coast affiliates are brimming with anticipation. Hotels are already filling up due to the hectic schedule of that weekend, so plan accordingly. Travelers are urged to finalize their schedules, submit them in writing to the appropriate coordinator and cc your itinerary to your supervisor.

E-Mail Etiquette
Just a friendly reminder: slang terms, obscenities and the excessive use of emoticons are not welcome in any Encom-sanctioned correspondence. This comment is in no way targeted at one specific individual, but merely serves as a guideline for all future e-mails. The following terms and symbols have recently been added to our watchlist and will, from this point forward, be flagged for further investigation:

-- LOL

-- : )

-- BRB

-- <3

-- BFF

-- Chillaxin'

Thank you in advance for your compliance to these regulations.


(only the Group 7 info and the suspicious .....'s separating sections to go!

 		Group 7 Updates

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yearly Performance Bonuses
It's tax season again, so all department heads must file the necessary paperwork regarding this year's bonuses for sales and development personnel – please disseminate this information accordingly.

We will be issuing checks the week before April 15th but, due to recent budget cuts, several restrictions have been applied to the process, including the following:
•Only those employees with a consistent record with Encom for at least five (5) years are eligible for bonus evaluation.
•Only those employees working more than 50 hours per week, on average, will be eligible for bonus evaluation.
•This year, bonuses will max out at 20% less than last year (again, due to budget cuts).
Please be advised: Encom will allow no exceptions to these rules. [/quote]

Expense Reports: A Cautionary Tale
The accounting department has been inundated with expense reports that violate Encom's clearly defined spending policies. Despite the fact that these rules are fully articulated in your employee handbooks, please reacquaint yourself with the following restrictions:
•If you choose to bring your spouse and/or children with you on a business trip, be aware their expenses are not covered.
•In regards to business meals, servicepersons' gratuities are not covered.
•Encom will only reimburse expenses claimed within a reasonable time frame (nothing from 60 days or older).

While there are several other egregious infractions in this latest round of expense reports, those are the issues we are encountering most often. Please correct this misuse of corporate funds in the future.

Um, I wonder if they are talking about us? I doubt it since Zach made our badges but it is a funny coincidence.

Guess our announcement will be at a widely attended con on the west coast that is filling up hotels...Hmm, I wonder which one it could be...?

 		Finally, the suspicious dots (sorry about the multiple posts, but such are the way of things with data dumps.) The line breaks are saved as .jpg files and look like they have spaces at irregular intervals, making me think "puzzle." Could just be my eyes playing a trick on me, though.

Those files are: hr.jpg and hr_small.jpg (attached)

If it helps, I only know of 4 people who have their badges (and hence logins) so far for this. Only two of them on the forums.

Data Dump from the site.

Five emails:

subject: Heeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Monday, March 15th, 2010, 9:46am

Killer party last weekend! So good to hang with all of you in accounts payable!
BTW, has anyone seen Lila? I can't seem to find her... as I said - KILLER PARTY!

--Silly Jilly


from RF_RLTN_DEPT
subject: Cookie sales: NOT sanctioned by Encom
Monday, March 15th, 2010, 3:12pm

This message is being sent to everyone in your department. We do not want to name names, but someone has invited their child/children into the office to sell cookies for their wilderness club. Encom does not condone or support this practice, and we must request that you cease this behavior immediately.
Contact me with any questions or concerns,

--Rita, Encom Employee Relations


from DG_MGMT_DEPT
subject: Your J-93 report?
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010, 11:25am

Still looking for everyone's J-93's. What's the holdup?
Don't mean to bust your chops - if you've already submitted your J for last week, good on ya. If not, please contact my administrative assistant immediately.
See you around,

--Dan (The MANager)


from HY_IT_DEPT
subject: Responsible Intranet
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010, 2:37pm

It has come to our attention that some employees are receiving non-work related emails in these intranet message boxes. This account is for Encom business only - please adhere to our guidelines.

Thank you,

-- Encom I.T. Dept.


from AB_EXEC_LVL
subject: a new generation of techies

Just a quick story I wanted to share with everyone - on my way home the other day, I stopped at a convenience store for some snacks... Fascinating, I know, but they had an old TRON arcade machine next to the frozen food aisle. Some kid (not more than 10 years old) was pumping all of his allowance into the quarter slot and working those controls with every fiber of his being. When the boy's mother finally ushered him away from the game, he let out a sigh, looked at our old 80's logo and declared, "Someday, I'm gonna work for Encom."
It just reminded me that we were all that kid at one point in our lives (at least, I was). We all dreamed of neon game grids and played the hero in our own little fantasy world. Now, we actually get paid to live in that world, to make it bigger and better for everyone who plays games or uses computers... and I, for one, am proud of that.
Thanks for indulging me the time to recount this anecdote for y'all,

--Alan Bradley


thank you so much!

 		Hmm, the only con that would seem to fit the description is the Wondercon in San Francisco. Disney isn't an exhibitor though. Who knows, I'm starting to think the Encom conference is going to be something of its own and not be affiliated with a con. If it is or isn't, all I hope they make it more obvious, I would like to try and be wherever the conference is if at all possible.

This is also assuming it will be a live event with RL attendees...

 		My dot theory seems like a dead end -- while there are portions where the dots are slightly further apart, it's a regular pattern for the hr.jpg file -- extra space after the first five dots, then regular groupings of 8 dots.

And no problem, regarding the data dump. I rarely get these mailings (and usually said mail takes a while to reach me) so help out whenever I can.

someone took a a hint and said that there might be a "conference" held for quality testing for a new product.

i responded,"Could it be the Verbisware?"

 		Oops, yeah...I forgot to mention that (didn't know it was relevant) -- the email system is called VerbisMail.

EDIT: to clarify, I meant the email system used on the intranet site is called VerbisMail -- I don't know what's going on with the conference.

Welcome aboard, nice to have you! I was just teasing BTW, the Tron Sector folks may have overlooked Verbisware but they are cool cats.
