i got an 80 year old lady to sign today. She was outraged that games could just pass as MA without being rated properly. (I work at a GAME store)

I finally signed it last weekend. Go me.

MY SIGNATURE IS WRONG!

I was asked to sign it multiple times , of course i only signed it once and told them i had already signed it each time i was subsequently asked. The first occasion was during the launch week of the petition. I hope the list of 60,000 are not duplicate names.

[Roland]

An 80 year old lady - fantastic.

GAME staff have been instructed one signature per person.

I just wish that there was a fucking GAME store somewhere even remotely close to the CBD, or areas that I generally commute to. Who wants to forge my signature?

Yeah there's about a billion EB's in central Melbs but Game? nope, I think the closest is Glenferrie Rd, but that could be a Gametraders.

[Roland]

I wish there were more GAME stores too. Of course, here's a link from the everyoneplays site - http://www.game.com.au/findastore

There are some GAME stores in Melbourne. I know because we got media exposure in a number of local newspapers.

Same boat as Fetid and Karai (gonna... need... a... bigger... ah forget it). I live and work around the CBD, haven't even been near a GAME store for a while. Anyone going down who has already signed, feel free to use my name to sign again.

I hear you loud and clear. But as the petition numbers grows, it is important that ONE signature per person is being followed. 67,535 signed petitions as of 9/4.

Any way to sign from overseas? I'm an Aussie citizen if that helps.

[Roland]

Hi Lord Haart - Unfortunately, you can't sign from overseas (yet); however, thank you for asking.

That said, you can tell friends and family in Oz about the petition - we have a website (www.everyoneplays.org.au) where people can search for the nearest GAME store, and of course, a facebook page to keep informed. For example, latest petition count of 67,535.

Please let me know if you need more info.
