Our Other Options
« on: December 03, 2012, 03:33:27 AM »
OK I can see this is gonna get ridiculous so lets just consolidate ALL "our other options" ideas into one thread. This is ideas for people and companies to send letters too ONLY if Disney does not work out. Also to cut down on the massive amounts of threads that will be made and making us look less professional if our site is visited by one of these people in question.

So here we have the ideas for

Game Companies
Bio Ware
Valve? - Rumor has it that they are gonna merge with NCSOFT and another company but I doubt its true at all.
Bethesda


Celebs:
Oprah
Ellen Degeneres
Steven Colbert
Matt Smith - Rumor has it that he is  comic book fan
David Tennent - Same as matt.
Kevin Smith,
Felicia Day,
Wil Wheaton,
David Cross

Uh, it's Ellen Degeneres....

Stephen Colbert we possibly have a ghost of a chance of getting the attention of.  Oprah and Ellen?  Not unless I manage to solo-fly a lawnchair tied to a bunch of balloons across the US.

Thanks..I used spell check and that was my option and didn't think about it lol.

Well that is just the ideas so far that we have. The list will grow as time goes on and IF Disney does not latch onto the idea.

You are not just saying that are you lol?

Also I have a cousin I never met and she probably does not know about my but Kristin Chenoweth lol
She I guess has been in a movie or two or a t.v show lol. If maybe I write her someday in the future and explain everything ....maybe she would be willing to help out family a bit?

You are very scary people you know...you remind me of my neighbors.  The words "Here, hold my beer" usually precede something dangerous and potentially fatal.

Matt Smith and David Tenant because they're comic book nerds?

Why not Kevin Smith, Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton, and David Cross while we're at it?  All four of those folks are comic book fans and gamers.  (Actually, Kevin Smith might not be a gamer, I don't precisely remember.)

(This is meant tongue-in-cheek, by the way.  Like, I know Felicia Day plays WoW, and kinda runs a show which depends on WoW's existence.  She might sympathize with us, but I don't think it's in her interests to throw her lot in with ours.  That's the basic point I'm making, here.)

Gamal:  "We don't live over there." Aram:  "We don't?"
Gamal:  "No.  We live over there." Aram:  "... But it's all on fire."
Gamal:  "Yes it is, Aram.  Yes it is."

You are not just saying that are you lol?

If it got some notice and got CoH saved?  I'd not only send VV across the US in a cobbled-together vehicle using helium balloons and a lawnchair, I'd play flight-attendant the entire trip, sew a pair of NASCAR-style jumpsuits by hand.... and bake a cheesecake from scratch.

Well I suppose that if you held my beer things would likely get cobbled together a little more quickly... with bailing wire, duct-tape and colorful language. ;)

eh...ok same here lol.

Lets start something on the Kickstarter Web site the raise fundraiser money to help with the movement of getting ourselves noticed in the big wigs worlds like Disney and stuff. We can use it for a Campaign and fund professional advertisement for our cause!

Just another way of saying, "Dial 9 and 1!"  My brother had reconstructive foot surgery to testify to that >.>

Anyway, I understand our (fairly lofty) targets here.  But what exactly should we be doing?  Letter-writing, Tweeting?

That's funny because the current MOTD on the PinnBadges IRC channel is "HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!"

-sigh-
I miss Pinnbadges already.

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

NCsoft and Nexon acquiring Valve was debunked a while ago.

i can also confirm this, and to be more specific, the CEO of valve said he would rather see his company disintegrate than to be bought out

Steven Colbert
Matt Smith - Rumor has it that he is  comic book fan
David Tennent - Same as matt.
Kevin Smith,
Felicia Day,
Wil Wheaton,
David Cross

Without looking for verifying data, I'm fairly certain that Felicia Day not only knows about this but mentioned it on one of her "Geek & Sundry" youtube videos.  I'm also fairly certain I sent Ms. Day a fannish plea for her assistance contacting her via youtube shortly after 8/31.  (Not saying if true she did it because I wrote her, but IIRC she was entirely sympathetic to our cause.)  Unless others have reasonable objections, I see no reason why we should not write all of these fine people to see if any are in a position and able to assist.  If numbers will tip the scales in letter writing, why not try?

Here's an idea:  If Ms. Lackey would be interested, and if Wil Wheaton would permit, perhaps V.V. could go on TableTop, play a fun board game and ideally Wil might let her pitch on the show, perhaps even adding to it himself.   My $0.02 won't even cover the cost of tax on that overpriced latte, solely for what it's worth.

Howdy. Long time CoX player, new to Titan Network. Started lurking around the time NcSoft announced they were going to bend us over the table.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but why not reach out to dorkly.com?

If this has, my apologies. Just trying to help.

Please contact dorkly with the letter writing campaign.

Guys, I appreciate deeply that you all think I am all that and a bag of chips, but I am not even a first-level guest at Dragoncon sort of fame.  I rate squarely in the midlist.  Will Wheaton would go "who?"  Don't concentrate on what my dubious notoriety can accomplish.  Concentrate on how we can get the most numbers.

Well, you are all that to me, but, I know better than to argue with your assessment.  Colbert Nation seems like the best, most likely place for numbers, barring getting Oprah interested (I think Divine Intervention would be required for Oprah).  But I think Felicia Day could be contacted, and if David Tennant et al are comic and/or gaming fans, I think they're worth contacting as well.  I gotta get back to my belated Thanking the Media posts.  I've really been negligent about doing so.  So guys, please hop on those articles and leave a Thank You!  (I'm sure I don't need to make a request for all comments we make to media covering us be positive and to avoid NCSoft bashing in public.)  In Public Relations it's all about Optics, and I'm sure you'd want us to look good to all those outside our community.
