$30 on the 3rd - PLAN OF ATTACK

[elfshadowreaper]

Tomorrow is the big day. I’ve been encouraged to make a thread that will detail our plan of attack. This is the really difficult part because it’s hard to pick a time that’s good for everyone. I’ve decided on UCT 6 p.m. because the main countries representing the Shenmue fanbase seem to be in the Americas and Europe(apologies if I leave your country out of my generalization of the fanbase).

So I’ve calculated the times based on that and included them below. Don’t feel like you have to donate exactly at this time. I’m trying to give us the biggest spike in donations so we make an undeniable impact.

PDT 11 a.m.
MDT 12 p.m.
CDT 1 p.m.
EDT 2 p.m.
———————
UCT 6 p.m.
BST 7 p.m.
CEST 8 p.m.
EEST 9 p.m.

Donating is the easy part. Our other job on the 3rd is to post to Facebook, tweet on Twitter and comment on the Kickstarter page. Make sure to included #SaveShenmue and a link to 30onthe3rd.com to explain the campaign(especially on Twitter as space is a factor). Don’t bother with a $30 on the 3rd hashtag as #SaveShenmue is the fans’ official Shenmue hashtag and is recognizable. I’m going to need Dojo and 500k mods to PLEASE retweet and share the major social media posts. These official groups have the reach we need to boost our posts to the biggest audience. My twitter is @nicknichols2049. Please, join my 9 followers. Joking, I really don’t care about followers as I didn’t care about Twitter until this Kickstarter. I only tell you that so you’ll know the posts that are mine. I’ll be tweeting and posting to Facebook all day.

I’ll also update the 30onthe3rd.com website to show the times to focus our Kickstarter donations. If any of you can translate the times into the other languages that would be VERY helpful. I have no idea how other countries write their time.

This could be the last big push we the Kickstarter gets before the end. And we can’t rely on Awesome Japan to provide incentives for those who have donated to donate more or those who haven’t donated to donate at all.

And please understand me when I say this…This campaign is by no means meant to strong-arm anyone into donating more or make anyone feel like they haven’t done their part. Your responsibility to take care of yourself and your family are of much more importance than a video game and in December 2017 you’ll still have the chance to play the game whether you helped fund it or not.

Dojo mods, please sticky this or post it on the home page for maximum exposure.

This is the time! For Yu!!

Let’s get sweaty!!!

Why don't we all just do it when it reaches 3pm in our respective timezones?

[elfshadowreaper]

I'm trying to get the biggest impact time. I like the simplicity of 3 pm but it seems like most want one worldwide time.

[Yokosuka]

Good idea but I think it's too late to plan any time.

7pm BST it is then. We'll know that the spike at this particular time is from the absolute Shenmue dedicated! (by that i mean dedicated enough to find out the specific time of donation, all contributions on the 3rd (or any other date or time) are HIGHLY HIGHLY APPRECIATED! )

In America it's CST, EST, PST...

The "D" threw me off.

[elfshadowreaper]

I thought so too but we're not in daylight savings time now so it's D I think. Apparently it's an extra hour from UCT if we're in daylight saving time. I wanted to make sure I got the right acronyms. I may have messed it up anyway though.

looking at the votes on the site and taking into account duplicate votes and people changing their minds (and people who know of tweets but ignored the site) i personally think rather than the usual 10-15k we are taking each day we will probably take 40-50k (Max).

I dont think its going to be as effective as we hope!.. but fingers crossed, prove me wrong and smash my opinions into the dust!

I'm in tomorrow should be a really exciting day! Looks like everyone involved is using this day as a means to push us closer to some of these currently far off reach stretch goals, hopefully more rewards, some big incentives, like physical PS4, Pay Pal etc, wonder what they've got in store for us

if they announce a PS4 (physical) at $60 or higher I think we will have a good chance at hitting the 4.2 million stretch goal, if they don't, with a little luck we may hobble past 4 million by the time we hit the end.

I've signed up for that tweet thing and am ready to pay my $30. Is there anything else I can do?

A good sunny morning from Fukuoka. All systems go.

In Yu we trust.
