[EMAIL] from Sandra Brown, HR @ TT

I fired off an e-mail to HR in an attempt to get the name pf the webpage designer:

[Karmic_Crimewave]

bumping for the update I edited in above...Sorry, I didn't realize that it wouldn't so it as new posts.

To summarize I asked for information about the previous employee who designed the website and the answer Ms. Brown gave was to site privacy issues so.......no info.

Here is my email exchange with Ms. Brown.

Email I sent:

Well your e-mails seemd pretty professional, so well done.

I've got a little thing to ask of everyone though...

When you send an e-mail, sign it under a real-sounding name.

Use a made-up name, but make it seem real, as in first name and last name.

It just takes away from your credibility when you use your handle.

Tha'ts all.

Watcher --

For privacy reasons, I believe most people replace their 'real' name with their handle before posting the emails onto this public forum anyone could be reading.

At least, I know I plan on doing so.

[The Watcher]

Oh I think I was misunderstood.

I'm not saying people should use their REAL names, I'm saying you should use a fake name that looks like a human name.

i.e. There was some post around here where somebody identified himself as Peter Parker- not his real name (unless he's Spider-Man), but it sounds real.

Just makes you sound more credible, and adds to the immersion. Everybody make up a fake name for their character!

Since we applied to be Online Advisors for a reality game show, this is a 'game' that is taking place in the real world and with 'real people'. Players can choose to use a fake name or a real name.

It seems this 'game' may be best played as a real person and there is no need to create a 'character' by each player. However, that is not set in stone and you are free to do so if you can keep it plausible (i.e. the real characters in the game think that this world is real and their experiences are real, so to them TINAG).

That said, I think most everyone here knows that for in-game interaction, I use a "Heather Hunter" and have set up email accounts just for this name - it helps me keep my game info separate from real life email and such. But I am still myself - a person interested in participating in/on a Reality TV show.



btw: TINAG = This is not a game

I haven't had a problem using my real name yet, however I have a false company name in which I work under. The name of the company is Dynamix. The receptionists seem to be asking more and more questions. The first time i called they simply gave me an answer, but the ast time i called they asked for a name, a number and a company name... x_X I had to think up something lick-ity split... hence Dynamix is what I came up with. Feel freee to use it. I've been role playing to an extent for years, so to me, this isn't a game, I'm trying to immerse myself as much as possible

*out of game* Dynamix

[The Watcher]

When I google it, I see that Dynamix is also a porn site. LOL.

But it is a very nice generic corporate name.

[RobMagus]

Characters? -Characters-?

Oh lordy...

[Blush]

well actually the name of the company that my Mother owns is called Dynamic. I didn't want to use the exact thing, so I said Dynamix. I've heard of a lot of campanies by that name, so i figured that giving it to them could give them limitless possisbilities. I think I'm going to give them another call, see if I can stir up some trouble.

[EDIT] Just called again on my cell phone. A female receptionist picked up . I asked for Sandra brown and when she said she wasn't in, I coped her a bit of attitude. I believe I said something like. "Well myself and my fellow associates have called sandra several times over the last few days. I would love to be able to talk to her personally, however it doesn't seem like I can do that." Up to this point she hadn't studdered, but this time she did. She put me through to her VM.... and get this.... it was full. You know how much it takes for a VM inbox to fill up? It's safe to say now, that the people at TT haven't been getting our voice mail messages, or any messages of any sort. After it beeped at me a few times, The receptionist picked up the phone again, and stuttering heavily asked if she could take a message personally. I told her that the message was urgent, and even if it wasn't Sandra who called me back, I wanted to talk to someone. This was a new one "Can I ask what your call is pretaining to?"

Hmm... they have a new line added to their script. my answer was. "Oh I need to ask a few questions pertaining to some research my company is doing for Tomorrow's talk" She took down my message "I believe" and then hung up the phone... This company seems Iron clad... no calls going in... no calls coming out.

hmm...A VM filling up? If TT is supposed to be the serious company they provide the facade for, that would not happen. We've already accepted that there might be something fishy about them, but this is definitly dodgy!

Hmm...have we tried to reach someone that doesn't work for the company at all, and see if the receptionists hang on that line. If they aren't to sure about the names, maybe they will fake a fault and direct us to the wrong VM, thereby proving that they're an answering service?
