Now time for the boardroom meeting!

This will be done behind closed doors. Team 69.420 can talk about what is going on during these meetings, but I would advise them to keep their deliberations to themselves.

The fired player and next task will be announced exactly 24 hours after this post

Can we still talk in here?

Yep. Any private or public threads can be used right now

I’m going to watch the first episode of the Apprentice and I’m probably going to cringe every time Trump comes up. That’s gonna be fun

give me like 30 minutes, I have stuff to do, and then i’ll begin compiling votes and announcing the fired player, task managers, and next task.

Task 2 - Hiring the Right Person

Well, you are all busy trying to plan, but it looks like you need some workers. The problem is, the enemy team has hired a bunch of low-level spies to try and infiltrate your work space with fake resumes. In this task, you will create 3 fake resumes for people with terrible qualifications, and are going to have to try to spin it to seem like a good addition to their team. After both teams are done, their fake resumes will be shown to the other team, alongside 3 normal resumes made by me. At that point, you all will have to try to pick the 3 that you think are real and the 3 that you think are fake.

The resumes will take this format

Name Example Mann
Wanted Position Social Media Manager
Education Communications Major at State University
Work Experience Social Media Manager for TurboBurger
- Ran the company’s Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts.
- Worked with many departments, such as customer service, to make our message clear
- Grew our number of twitter followers by 500% in the year I worked there.
Additional Skills I’m Fluent in Spanish, Proficient in Microsoft Excel, and have Experience working with Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

You will each receive three people with less-than-stellar qualifications, and will have to spin it to make them seem right for the job

For example, you might get:

Firstname lastname, a 41 year old college dropout applying for IT who was imprisoned for 10 years on Distribution of Malicious Software after creating a virus that stole bank account passwords.

An example “spin” is here. You can have these people apply for any position you wish.

Name Firstname Lastname
Wanted Position IT Technician
Education Went to Tech school for Technology
Work Experience Worked as a “self-employed” programmer for 10 years then took a break to focus on other things.
- Found security issues in many banks’ websites
- Distributed my personal programs to hundreds of thousands of people
- Helped make millions of dollars in profits for my company
Additional Skills I know many creative ways to cook ramen, I know 5 programming languages, and I know how to turn a toothbrush into a knife.

The real applications I will send will have similar grammar and length to the example ones above. Your spies and their qualifications will be coming shortly. Good luck!

Please have your task manager submit the 3 cards by the deadline. 2020-04-21T22:20:00Z

Any that you do not finish are not sent.

A little tip.

While you cannot outright lie on these, you can leave out important details or try to spin things in a way that seem better then the truth

Also, anything that is not said on your person you are allowed to fill in(education, work, additional skills, etc)

But try to make it seem reasonable

Okay where’s this logo?

Uhhhh, I think you’re a bit late, Nerb Boi

Ah well
Anyone can ping me if you need/want me for anything else during this game and I’ll try to do my best to do the opposite of sabotaging you

Wait we’re allowed to talk now right
That’s how the game works, right?
