I just tweeted them all lecturing them how Shenmue III would be an awe inspiring exclusive.

After December 3rd the monthly campaign will undergo some big changes, including a revised hashtag that fits right in with this purpose.

Do you think rather because of this recent news, we should focus on it as soon a possible to gain ground in the message?

Regarding give the license to Sony... I still hope that Sega is somehow involved, at least with HD Ports / Remakes. I said this before and I'll say it again. Shenmue would take a hit without Sega because the related stuff like the capsule toys and arcade games had to go. Imagine Ryo having a PSX in the living room instead of the Saturn. :lol:
Just wanted to point that out here again...

If Sony get the Shenmue licence they'll probabley give it to Team Ico to make after the Last Guardian knowing our luck.

After killing SEGA and the dreamcast, it only seems fair for Sony and Playstation to give us shemoooooo back.

The aim of the project is to work with third parties to bring their games to Sony platforms, not to make those games first party. Sega would have to be involved.

There's a lot to organize for the campaign changes, and the Thunderclap for December 3rd already has a social reach of over 50,000 with its pre-loaded #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense tweets. I fully expect people to target Sony during this Tweetathon but it's not so easy to pull the trigger on the new hashtag and the other format alterations that will go along with it. Sony's exploration into which games they can and should bring to PS4 and Vita will be a long process by their own admission, so we can allow ourselves a little time to get the methods right.

Funny, innit? The villain back then may well have become the hero now.

I'm planning to add an extra day to my tweets as well as tweeting a new Sony related one.

So I will be tweeting

#SonyLetsDoShenmue
And
#GiveYuTheShenmueLicense

On the third and the sixth of every month. I think that just getting Shenmue ported over to PS is more important to the immediate cause and should take priority from here on out as Sony has officially mentioned interest in the series while it is mums the word from SEGA. After it is released we can then go nuclear on the SIII campaign. So I'll tweet the usual but with more emphasis in Sony's camp.

Let's not be too specific. We've had nothing. Let's just tell them to support Shenmue and leave it at that, no mixed signals. If they want to release it all in a single condensed game, that's fine. If they do ports and a third installment, that's fine too. Let's just get Shenmue, the shape or form is irrelevant at this point. Just make the focal point Sony reviving the series, however they choose to do so. Less mixed signals and more clear support = better results.

Will be sure to help promote this widespread.

If you want Sony to witness the largest possible demand for Shenmue then it's really worth focusing on the hashtag that most people will be using on December 3rd, and that's #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense. Whether it seems like the most appropriate phrase or not, clicking on this hashtag will uncover a wealth of support for Shenmue, and it's that general principle that matters, regardless of how it's expressed semantically. Don't encourage Sony to click on a less established hashtag when they could instead be clicking on one that turns up more search results, each of which will demonstrate just as much love for Shenmue as anything Sony-specific. The message is ultimately the same, but louder.

After this Tweetathon it will be full steam ahead with a new hashtag and ways in which to use it, but on December 3rd we have to play our strongest suit and that is currently #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense.

I have no twitter account (I use only FB), but I will make now one for the Shenmue demanding tweets.
As I am new to twitter, can anyone explain how to "tweet to #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense" ?
Is #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense a channel or just a hashtag?
Sorry, maybe some dumb questions, as I know completely nothing about twitter...

Is that the same as FB posting to the wall - status, but I have to include #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense ?
Or must I find a special twitter account (like Sony, Shenmue, Yu Suzuki) and post my tweet there?

Thx for your help.

A hashtag is just something to include in your tweet, so that when other people read your tweet and click on the hashtag, it will link them to a search for other tweets containing the same hashtag, posted by anybody.

You can post your tweet from anywhere on the site using a button at the top-right of the page. If you want Sega's community team to see it, you can "mention" their username somewhere in your tweet, like this: @sega

Watching this video (best in fullscreen mode) may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDHTN1U4dk

If you still can't get the hang of navigating Twitter after creating your account, you can use your account to support the Tweetathon via Thunderclap, which will post your tweet for you automatically on December 3rd.
