We have time: Let's all commit to & promote a 7/15 spike!

Postby Anonymous81 » Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:44 pm

No one seems to want to commit to anything because we're all so fractious and amorphous right now. I say one week IS enough time to do this! So I hereby call on everyone to get behind this:

https://www.facebook.com/events/468630789976775

The goal: Another #SaveShenmue tweet-a-thon, and another $30 (or whatever you can spare) pledge boost. Tweet #SaveShenmue all day on July 15th and consider upping your pledge by whatever amount you can that day as well (at least $30.)

Looking around at all the other attempts people have made, this one seems to have the most support (though admittedly none have a ton of support.)

LET'S DO THIS! Let's get focused, motivated, and make a push again! WE CAN do this! Don't say "there's not time" or "it's too late." That's only true if we don't TRY! I call on the mods to organize this and put it on the front page of this site ala #30onthe3rd

Only this time, let's make it #July15thSaveShenmue! Or something else! #30onthe15th! Whatever you feel works! Please, we need to do something, we're coming into the final stretch and we need action! I'll do it. Will you?

I'm just going to try to get influential folks with large fan bases to support the game:

Getting some traction with this LIL B be an NPC tweet: https://twitter.com/mjqmjqmjq/status/618817123285082112

(he actually is a Shenmue fan)

It worked with Kavinsky. No idea if it led to more pledges, but hey. I don't think more than a handful of people are going to raise their pledges. Some of us have dug into our wallets and gone into the thousands.

I think saving up for a final day barrage would be better, personally. The extra spike on the final day might still be significant. "Last Day Love" Hashtag kiss kiss.

The final day spike, if it's going to happen, is going to happen no matter what. Those last day pledgers consist of people who hit "remind me later" and waited, waited out all the reward reveals, just wanted to wait/save for maximum impact, and of course, people on the fence who finally can't resist the pull of history anymore. I have no doubt that is going to happen.

But I still say on July 15th, those who are able:

1) Tweet #SaveShenmue all day so we get trending (or hell, yes, all three final days, why not?)
2) Donate at least $30 more, IF you can.

Hell we don't even need a hashtag for this, just awareness. Again, I'm committed to doing this. We need commitment and resoluteness now. No more "there's no more time," or "there's no point." I believe we can achieve this with sufficient will. Who's with me???

All that works, too. But we also need a single, unified plan that we all commit to trying to promote. We CAN do this. I don't want to beg, but I'm not above it... please guys. Just summon one last burst of faith and effort and promote this everywhere you can. And please consider putting it on the front page of this site.

It's simple:

July 15th, tweet and retweet #SaveShenmue to get it trending again, and if you can, donate at least another $30. We did it once. We can do it again.

Stick to #SaveShenmue. It's the most widely known hashtag for Shenmue. I think we'll see a spike in donations about three days before the end. I hope it's going to end up around $7 million.

I'd be happy to try to target anyone. It's just an idea. (one that might not go anywhere)

i think we just need to be very active on twitter and forums ect on those final few days. have stuff prepared for release on those days and tweet the hell out of #saveshenmue,

continue to contact celebs ect, focus on felecia day for example.

there seems to be a general awareness and appreciation that the last few days are going to be super important, and pledge whatever you affordable can.

*Sigh*

So be it. But I'M taking it upon myself to tweet and post everywhere I can that on July 15th we should get #SaveShenmue trending again and increase our pledges it at all possible. If we're lucky, maybe it will generate another thunderclap.
