Re-tweeting on major targeted Websites?

[LadyImmolatasia]

I just want to say there are a lot of heartfelt articles coming out that I think would do well to move our cause forward. One on Eurogamer was succinct, strong and emotional. I think it captured in short what a lot of us felt, with a touch of humor.

Think it'd be a good idea to post on FB pages, tweets or whatever else? Couldn't hurt in my mind.

Sure. Share EVERYTHING. The more interested we are, the more interested the media and websites are

Thanks for posting the link.  Yes, it certainly captured what I and many others felt and inspires me to want to DO more to Save City of Heroes.

Wow, that article is terrific!  I think that's the best one yet!  Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to pass it on and I hope everyone else will do the same.

Just in case anyone missed this.

An example of a TV-ready webpage is this:

When we get their attention we have to think in terms of the visual equivalent of a soundbite.  One splashy page that sums up EVERYTHING, with a single click-through to, say, here and Leandro's SaveCoH page.

We need a BIG graphic with Evil NCSoft crushing the Colbert SuperNation beneath its feet, and maybe bashing the top of the Atlas park dome (and the FLAG!) over with its fist.  I'd say NCSoft as a Faceless Giant Corporate goon in a suit with an NCSOFT chest badge.

Title over the graphic: EVIL KOREAN CORPORATION DESTROYS COLBERT SUPERNATION!

Text under the graphic: On Dec 1, NCSoft, a Korean gaming corporation, unilaterally shut down the most popular superhero game in the world, City of Heroes, destroying in one blow thousands of characters, including the Colbert SuperNation.  For more information click HERE.

That gives the interns everything they want to know to see if they will take it one step higher.  If they do, they get directed to Titan Net and SaveCoH for a lot more information.

CAN YOU DO THIS?  I think you can!

I sort of dovetailed a call to reTweet at Colbert Nation onto her thread and I am concerned that I clouded her issue.  Anyone good with website design wanna take a stab at this and give us a link we can use to spread the word?

(Leaving her thread alone because her name as 'last poster' draws more attention than mine but wanted to make up for my possible error)

I have a friend who does amazing website design.

I would show you examples, but most of them are NSFW - they pay better in her experiences. That said, I'll see what I can do. She does all kindsa funky CSS stuff and makes 'em super pretty, but she's planing on moving soon and has some financial issues hitting her, so she may not be able to assist.

Trying to Keep This in Mind for Today

The Colbert Report is a topical show, written daily for production in the evenings, so there is every chance we could get a mention if we can just catch their attention. 

So this is the plan.  Tweet and Twitter and Splash his Face Book Page with the 'Save CoH' campaign.  We need the immediate impact that internet contact can provide.  With the Holidays coming fast, his show will be going into reruns in the next week or so, and it could be very helpful to get mentioned before that happens.

I do not feel this sort of campaign is out of order.  The Twitter Account information is publicly available from Comedy Central's website.

Some intern has the job of reading the Twitter feed come Monday morning and we want him to have a reason to tell the writers of the show about us.  Tweet him, Tweet the Colbert Nation.  Post on their FB page.  Link the Disney buyout project, link the various mentions CoH has received on MMO sites and so on.

MOST ESPECIALLY remind them that EVIL KOREANS destroyed the Colbert Supernation!

I'm also curious, though it's a dumb question, have people tried Reddit? Specifically /R gaming? That's a broad audience to reach out to right there.

Go for it!

I wouldn't even be on Facebook if it weren't for my daughter in law posting grandbaby pictures.  I have heard of these reedit and pinterst things but I don't do them. 

Strangely enough, NC Soft got me to get a Twitter account.  I was caught up in the players who had their accounts suspended because NC Soft had a hack that accessed information to their account database.  Customer Service was slow on reacting, or even explaining, but they had a Twitter address and doing that got me my access back in less than twenty four hours.
