What next?!

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone cared for some mindless speculation on what will be next for those of us who have applied for jobs...

I was thinking that maybe we'll have some more puzzles to solve - like the first ones who actually find the office can go and be interviewed!!! Anyone have any thoughts on how things will go from here (Adrian... Dan.... <G>)? I'm dying to hear something - I'd hate for me to accept some crappy job when I could be doing something really amazing instead.

Question to anyone who has applied - have you had any bizarre emails, which looked like spam, but might not have been, since you applied?

I've had plenty of emails which looked like spam. I always do. They are spam, IME... in this day and age it's a little unfair to "disguise" stuff as spam, no?

But surely that only works when you're expecting a message. Sending it out randomly seems somewhat unfair...

Interesting...I've been getting a lot of spam, but I've been disregarding all of it as just that. Of course, I always get a lot of spam, so it means nothing.

Regardless of job applications, is it likely that e-mails would be sent to either applicants or players disguised as spam?

Perhaps some direction from the more experienced players, or from Adrian/Dan?

you could always do what I do. Use an email address solely for ARGs. I've even gone so far as to divide it up to a different email for each game. aware@....com, projectsyzygy@....com, etc.


I know, I know that may ruin some of the immersion, but it helps me keep things straight and I'll trade a little immersion for a little organization.

I can assure you that any emails from Syzygy will not be disguised as junk. We do actually want people to read them Smile

That SpamMimic site is cool!

Have to say I was thinking along the spam lines myself (kind of why I started the topic - to see if I was the only one so paranoid!). I have been checking my spam more carefully, but I don't think I've had anything either. Like Adrian says, surely they would want us to read it!

hehe yeah it is. I started doing it when I missed a mail in Chasing the Wish by accidentally deleting it.
