Well, tell him about Unfiction and let him sign up. I figure anybody who's willing to play along (and not think you're nuts for even asking them to "answer an axon") is good in my book.
It makes it all the more funnier to picture a Pizza Hut manager singing Iris to the phone in the middle of his store. Way to go Jack (and weephun)!

no two ways about it...that's hilarious. The game is now actively recruiting strangers to play who didn't plan on it. That HAS to be an ARG first!

Whatever you do, DO NOT sing SHE BANGS by Ricky Martin!!!
You risk a lawsuit by William Hung when it ends up on the internet, not to mention public humiliation.

Just great, the survival of the free world is dependant on my karaoke skills. We are sooooo screwed.

Yah, he should be here in the next couple of days, I explained how to get here, etc.
So if the goal is viral marketing ... consider me contagious

2nd Lieutenant Kobun reporting in from the Vegas branch of the Apocalypso crew!!!!
Perhaps the S in SP should be slippery? Apparently, she's escaped again... anybody know an assasin? Melissa seemed rather adamant about finding her and "taking care" of her... perhaps it's just me being in Vegas, but I had dark thoughts when she said that.....
[SPEC] {OOT} BTW, all the phonecalls appear to be a phone system I read about once called Wildfire, a "digital assistant"...

Good SPEC, I had thought that Wildfire was gone, but I guess I was wrong. If anyone has had an opportunity to work with Wildfire (now Virtuosity it appears) it is AWESOME .

Mild trout - Dana is the "assassin" according to Melissa due to her attempts to restore the I Love Bees site in the initial phase of the story.

Good thing I said "Assasin? Perhaps the Pious Flea or SPDR?"
Melissa replied "I do not know of any Pious Flea"
sadly, she made me sing...
so next round will prolly be a wav of me singing "Beyond The Sea"... badly...
Ah well... strangely, no I Love Bees sound file to end the call, just silence and the standard "I will contact you on your phone when I ... yada yada.."
good thing too, I luckily had the day off today to answer the axon...

Commander aliendial, here. I sing with a lovely baritone, apparently, and chose a classic number "Trumpet Shall Sound" by Handel, a very depressing shanty about the dead rising and things like that. Which is how Cortana and Mike_Was got the first part of the path to SP. Many thanks to the DC teammates who helped make good use of the live call!
