I have been doing some thinking once again on how we as fans can increase the positive pressure on Sega to make Shenmue 3/hand Shenmue 3 to Suzuki-san. Please feel free to correct me if I may be interfering in other people’s projects or whatever or offer positive criticism, but it is just a thought.
Alright so I noticed on another thread on these forums that there is a Shenmue III Campaign petition with signatures up to 65,000+ and increasing. I know people really are fed up with petitions at the moment because they don’t seem to have worked in the past, but I have been considering the whole Team Yu/500K movement and all this Shenmue war on Twitter and would like to offer a suggested opinion on the petition itself. We all know from philosophy that we should make use of what we've got and I was thinking - correct me if anyone feels this is not advisable - that perhaps we could merge the petition with the joint campaign we share now. Let me explain, usually when a party want action to be taken in whatever scenario, some form of paper documentation is used to assist the effort. People always argue their case foreword and gab supporters, but a petition is just one of those formal things that we use to reinforce are opinion as concrete and loud to the recipients of our protests. This past week has been a very beneficial one for the Team Yu campaign. We have managed to merge into a marriage so to speak with 500k and now our numbers, popularity, retweeting plans and overall the frequency and intensity of our voices based on more people adopting one sole campaigning aim has significantly increased. With plans of mass tweeting events and retweeting events and promotional videos, our name and goal is becoming more and more realised.
What I am wondering about the ‘Shenmue III Campaign Petition’ is that why not merge this so to speak with the whole Team Yu motto and goal. This is just something for the creator of the petition to consider, we have quite a large amount of signatures already and I can do my best to promote the petition and get as many people to sign it while other members of the Team Yu campaign carry on with other related tasks such as working with 500k, or tweeting, or contacting publicity etc etc. Really I am wondering if a partnership could be formed between this petition and Team Yu. Yes I know…another one! But it is for a good investment and purpose so I think why not? Basically, if this Shenmue 3 campaign petition (which by its name can be easily confused by Sega with older petitions that they haven’t taken much notice of) could adopt the same drive and support to the Team Yu campaign, and become the official petition of support for Team Yu/500k, then I promise I will do my best to promote this petition, get everyone I know to sign it, make promotional videos of the same standard that I did and ect. It’s just that a petition is a nice official document to always have in your inventory when doing a mass protest. If say this petition could be revamped or redesigned or at least some extra information is supplied to it which denotes a partnership of some sort with Team Yu/500K then it will be the Bible so to speak of Team Yu/500k to use as one of our weapons when we are protesting to SEGA. More people will be directed to it from the 500k/team yu followers of the public, more people will sign. We could make a very large number of signings in a relatively quick amount of time rather than it just sitting their sounding as vague as all the other petitions out there for Shenmue that Sega don’t find at all imposing to them. However, if we could make Team Yu/500K a fortress so to speak, a large weapon to pummel Sega with, with the aid of an official writing of everyone agreeing that the Shenmue License should be given to Sega, imagine how this would probably make Sega’s hairs stand on end. Then and only then would Sega realise that the world (a substantially large amount of fans) believe in the #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense idea and consider based on this official document that they should make a response of some sort. Think about it, I will be committed enough to make sure that the petition gets the 500k signatures that it deserves to look substantially important through promotion and also signing, signing, signing it myself till my fingers ache as well as others dedicated enough to see the numbers rise.
Please think about this, all that would need to be done is some acknowledgement on the petition page that it is to promote the whole hand over license idea and work in conjunction with team yu/500k. Then, I as a person who is posting on these forums practically every free hour of the day I get will be the most trustworthy person to make sure the figures go high. Look at me now, I’m writing my thoughts at half past one in the morning. Committed person? I think so. I will stay up this late even if I have to make sure that petition gets the 500k signings that it needs whilst other campaigners in Team Yu/500k pursue other means of persuasion to Sega.
I will still perform my duties in twittering and the like, I just think this would really make a big punch to Sega if it could be the first every Shenmue petition to reach 500k signings, it would promote Team Yu as “THE REAL DEAL” in the eyes of Sega and also force them to be aware that there aree dozens of fans wanting the game. THIS WOULD COMPLEMENT ALL THE TWITTERING THAT WE ARE DOING AND THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO THEM THERE AND THEN THAT THIS YEAR 2012, SHENMUE IS WANTED. It will really push them to consider, and it would start to look embarrassing if they ignored it.
I promise I will give this petition so many signings, even if I cannot get sleep, just to get a huge number and shock Sega with the news. The tweets and the works of the other campaigners of Team Yu will add to their conscience and the whole #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense idea will be drummed into their heads.
Might the administrator behind the petition consider my request, revamp the description/purpose (or merely add to it) the Shenmue Team Yu campaign, make a partnership, even including the logo if need be (see my avatar) and once that is up and running I will get to it and put as much heart into making the signing figure soar like I put all that elbow grease into my promotional video for Team Yu which is now on the Team Yu webpage.
Again…if I am being an interfering old git then ignore me and notify me otherwise. Just a thought.
