Here are some helpful tips to get started!

Pick a character, or a dozen, and let your creative talents shine as you talk to your friends and coworkers about spreadsheets, work drama, escaped robots, and just who are those mysterious robed figures wandering the halls on the 13th floor.

All exchanges are all done by inter-office email. You can be as creative as you want. I like to format all my responses in posts and comments to resemble an email. Include pictures, links, funny file attachments to your heart’s content.

A fun BlockCorp styled email program header image can be found at:

The BlockCorp logo for your email signature can be linked from:

This image seems to enjoy being the thumbnail for a post!

Don’t just upvote the original post! Upvote creative, in character responses from your co-workers!

Assassinate however many NPC’s as you want to rise to the position of your choice. The Witnesses are watching through, so watch out you may be next if your aspirations are too high. Can’t think of something fun? I’ve got plenty of job openings, just let me know!

Q: Should I use the hashtag BlockCorp?
A: According to Section 12.3 of the Employee Handbooks: Hash tags and You, you are forbidden from calling them hash tags. They are and always will be a ‘pound sign’ tag (Not applicable in UK Branch).
