For those of you who don't know who Diane Fossey was, watch the movie Gorilla's In The Mist. Gorillas In The Mist is a 1988 film which tells the true-life story of naturalist Dian Fossey and her work in Rwanda with Mountain Gorillas.
Fossey is inspired by an anthropologist to devote her life to the study of primates. Travelling into deepest Africa, Fossey becomes fascinated with the lives and habits of the rare mountain gorillas of the Rwandan jungle. She becomes so preoccupied with her vocation that she loses the opportunity of a romance with National Geographic photographer Bob Campbell.
Appalled by the poaching of the gorillas for their skins, hands, and heads, Fossey complains to the Rwandan government, which dismisses her, claiming that poaching is the only means by which some of the Rwandan natives can themselves survive. She rejects this, and dedicates herself to saving the African Mountain gorilla from illegal poaching and likely extinction. To this end she forms and leads numerous anti-poaching patrols, and even burns down the poachers' villages and stages a mock execution of one of the offenders.
You could say she was a bit obsessed by gorilla's. I'm sort of like that with the newgens in the Miller Beta Game World. You see, quality newgens are becoming sort of an endangered species in Miller. Over the past week or so, the number of 16 year old newgens coming into the game world has decreased. The same goes for 17 and 18 year old newgens.
The quality of said newgens has also decreased, as I am yet to find a newgen with a PA over 1.5 star. There are a few semi-decent newgens in the age category 17-19, but again no-one with really high PA. For over a week now, no 3 star or higher PA newgen has appeared in the Miller World.
I'm not sure why this happened, but I don't like this development. The current batch of U17's I have is pretty much average, and I can't bleed new players into the team when no decent new ones seem to appear.
So therefore I have decided to become the Diane Fossey of the newgens, only without the patrolling, burning down SI staff homes and staging the mock execution of the programmers. I will do my best to get to the bottom of this situation by asking as many people with SI as I can. Expect more updates as this story unfolds. The plot thickens...

So you decided using Guerrilla marketing tactics against SI without the marketing part and maybe with some Gorillas too :p
