 		NEW - AWARE
Okay here's the pre-game info I've collected. Not sure where to put it to facilitate movement of the thread.

AMBOY MONTHLY - WHOIS Below
The local online edition for Amboy, WA

Since printing can be expensive and our town cannot financially support a publication, the internet now houses what was once our monthly issue. We update regularly and we always look for new story ideas.

Main Page
http://www.amboymonthly.com/

Describes Amboy as being 45 mins ?North? of Vancouver. Not sure if this is an oversight or a factual place in a fictional location.

News
http://www.amboymonthly.com/news.htm

An article on Marty Manson, Marcus Thesburg, and Jude Williams who created an AI program to search the web for information. The program inadvertantly broke into the Croatian government's classified computers and as a result the Defense Department has recruited the three men and TOBI to help fight the war on terror (to the tune of $76 million dollars ).The three men established Ideltech Information last year and have been using a more diluted version of TOBI to help investors find information on whatever interests them.

Aloha, Oregon is the new home of Ideltech.

Ideltech Information Company- WHOIS Below
http://www.ideltech.com/ (nothing yet)

Reporter Melody Heller: mhellerSPLATamboymonthly.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sports
http://www.amboymonthly.com/sports.htm

An article on boys basketball that mentions you can purchase tickets year round at Jack's Restaurant. There are pics of the restaurant that you can click to get a better view, but as far as I can tell lewisriver.com is legit (as is PacificCorp).

The restaurant and phone number are legit:

Quote:
JACK'S RESTAURANT & STORE
13411 Lewis River Rd
Ariel, WA 98603


But it's located in Ariel, WA (24 miles from Amboy according to MapQuest)

Cool premise. How is it that you discovered this and know it's a game?

 		Starting slowly (as the pre-game isn't slated to start until mid-April) with an email to the Amboy Monthly's editor/reporter Melody Heller:

Dear Ms. Heller,

Great job on the online edition of the Amboy Monthly, and a great piece on Ideltech!

When can we expect the fun and games section to be up and running?

Pre-game isn't supposed to start until mid-April with the fulll edition slated for the summer (July I think). So, as Sunny said, we wait......and watch. Very Happy

Dear Ms. Pillar,

Thank you so much for you support. We have a very modest outfit here and it exists mainly for the information of our cozy little town. I just published a crossword puzzle to the fun and games section. I will try and add more content soon.

 		I need to be smarter
I am not going to post or even come to this thread anymore becuase I feel it hurts the integrity of being a PM. Yet, I would like to say you guys are suprising me. I didn't even have the link set up to take entries to the game at
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
www.ideltech.com/employment
when I had already almost 15 people who signed up. So, I need to be a little more creative or you all will be solving problems before I create them.

 		Some Info that may be useful
Marcus Thesburg is the older brother of Mike Thesburg (by 12 years or so) Marcus was a point guard, like mike was, in 93, and they are both good at basketball. This may be a password clue.

Also, the CIA is an indepentent agency, which to the best of my knowledge, can not legally detain individuals. yet supposedly it detained the three Ideltech founders for two days.

the source for the Ideltech Frontpage is interesting.

Actually, as far as my husband knows (blame this on him if he's wrong Wink ), any legal agency can detain an individual, for up to 72 hours without being charged. Even us measly peons can detain anyone until other authorities show.

Doesn't the CIA provide the President with the Secret Service? I don't think they wouldn't be allowed to detain anyone. And if it's a Federal Crime (which messing with the Dept. of Defense certainly is), than the CIA can hold and detain until the FBI steps in. Which doesn't neccessarily mean the FBI will be involved. The CIA can investigate before anyone else gets involved.

But than again, this is only a game. So all bets would be off, I would think.

Just my $.02.
