Good work Denny. Wish I could be there!

I really wish these things wouldn't only happen in one city.I would gladly travel at least 4 hours to Adelaide to attend one of these but that's about as far as I would travel for one.

Probably best if we don't have 12 year old gamers down there going, what do we want when do we want it

If i was in brisvegas i would go, i hope that instead of everyone plays, everyone gets off their arse...

By all means, if anyone can organise some valuable speakers for interstate cities then contact me and we'll try and combine resources.

I'm doing this by myself at the moment. I'll need all the help I can get for this to actually succeed.

EDIT: Let's see if we can get the most vocal opponent of an R18+ rating up to Brisbane on that day.

He would have to crawl out of his sound proof, not listening booth first.

I don't really have any time to organise anything in melbs, but if anyone does want to and needs a hand, i can help you out where possible......
Probably best if it wasn't me anyway

Goober have you been spreading this to other Aussie game sites too (eg Australian Gamer)?

Why no report about Sydney R18+ March,

Everyone dressed up as zombies and walked around Sydney

+1 for Helping out if anyone starts one in Melbourne - Don't have the time to organise anything myself, but i can source audio/visual gear for it if anyone gets it going.

Good to hear somethings happening in Bris though, Hope it makes the news

Not to be negative - but as is well known, this needs to be a SA event. My understanding is that the Qld Gov Gen is already on board.

Mr Atkinson would like people to think it's solely about his constituency, but the issue is bigger than SA, emech.

Spanca · Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 8:17 pm�� Post subject:

I don't understand why he keeps raising the issue of his constituency. He constantly reminds gamers that his electorate doesn't care and that by refusing to capitulate on this issue he isn't doing it to represent the people he elected. So as an elected member of the South Australian Parliament, who is he representing?

Atkinson won't be able to attend the rally.

However, I am pursuing other options.

On the bright side, he is interested in a future event I have in mind.

This rally looks like it's just the first step.

Hopefully this can get some more widespread media attention to really bring it to the table. I think the rally itself will at least garner some more awareness, and at least teach some new folk that there is an issue that is misunderstood with gaming at an adult level.

Good luck with the rally, wish I could be there!

If one happens in Adelaide --> i'll be there with bells on!

Don't know if everyone has seen this about Atkinson "throwing down the gauntlet"...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,,26370722-2,00.html

And there is a party that is starting in his electorate to try and combat against him...

http://www.gamers4croydon.org/

Fingers crossed in next year's election he will go...
