PALGN, Everyoneplays and GAME Join Forces

[Cyph]

I signed it today at GAME Perth CBD. Had a number of signatures there, but yeh, they need more advertising in and outside of the shop.

[Jahanzeb]

Yesterday me, Denny, Jeremy and Gresszilla went to GAME as the PalGN mafia to sign our names and to intimidate innocent by standers to do the same (the latter isn't true )

I have asked a few of my friends and my sister to sign the petition, them being non-gamers. which as Jeremy said, doesnt matter because anyone with common sense will support our cause

I mentioned the GAME petition and posted a link to this article on the Australian Namco Bandai Partners forum.

so that's 10 more people that know about it.

[Jellyfish]

I hope you guys are really going to push this. Just saw this in The Age. It'd be awesome to see Christian groups being beaten by their own game.

[Roland]

We will Jellyfish - again, thank you for your support and marshaling those around you. We've gotta get our Facebook / social media / viral stuff working....people pulling down logos from the everyoneplays website and encouraging other people to visit a Game store. I'll start feeding updates soon too.

Signed.

I feel like a Crusader. Sans the killing and violence, of course.



Although that may be because of the ratings system.

Just to note, that study by Professor Anderson is highly criticised in the field of psychology. According to his contemporaries, the study lacks external validitiy, as his empirical results aren't backed up by his theoretical model and there are questions over his sampling methods. What's worse, it's the most commonly cited study by R18 opposition, despite it being rather ordinary.

Forgive my ignorance, but shouldn't that also make the job of undermining it's use as a 'proof' all the easier for us? Strikes me as a good thing, rather than a bad thing.

I have signed the petition even if I have always hated GAME.

I have returned from the gardens of water with ill tidings. After mounting the iron steed and finding that others were in such steeds of wheels we found that all the rupees were in fact taken, no doubt by the fiends who pillaged the iron steeds parked on the sidewalk (which there was several along the calder actually, good and proper boned) upon reaching the gardens of water we trekked through dormant steeds, one totally rear-ended but it's OK, it's an orange hatchback!

So we find the place of purple people expecting to unleash hell so as not to be eaten for being people and hark.

Nothing.

Dismayed, we journeyed around the store for any signs of common sense yet at every turn we were only met with snickers from the trolls behind the counter. Failing the quest and incurring the penalty of it on my pristine class list we approached the counter to find a book. A troll was encountered who had obviously eaten someone who enjoyed bubblegum for trolls do not enjoy food of men. The petition signed, we escaped with our lives.

In case you can't be stuffed reading that, Watergardens staff were about as helpful as a simultaneous kick in the face and groin, they made no mention to anything outside of the common store practice of;

"Are you right there?" -browsing
"Do you need anything" -approaching desk

there were no indications, no directions, nor highlighting, nothing upon the indication of "I'm just here to sign this petition" and all three simply looked as if I had just slapped their mothers and gone back to gossiping.

Pathetic.

[Jeremy]

I went to GAME on Pitt st Mall today and they weren't too interested either. Eastgardens were really good about it.

If anyone does have a bad GAME experience from trying to sign the petition, please post here.

It's not that it was bad as it was quite easy to walk up to the counter and sign since the store was as dead as a horse being flogged, but as far as effort on their behalf goes, it was blatantly non existent. No interest from any 3 of the staff, no interest to engage in conversation about the petition given numerous instances to do so, no mention to a bloke who walked in, spent 5mins looking and walked out and no advertisement, even minimal, that the petition was there to begin with.

[Jeremy]

And that's a problem. By letting us know about this, we can pass it onto GAME management and make sure that it is a known issue.

There's a GAME in Pitt St mall? I was wandering all around there killing time today waiting for something else and I could have signed today! I'll endeavour to go to my local store tomorrow, although the staff there have almost always (one exception only) been utter buffoons who have readily made snide remarks regarding a choice of game or trade in deals.

^Yeah, it's actually in the food court below Myer. A little further down from Subway and opposite a cookie/muffin place. The guy who looked like the manager was very ambivalent when I came into talk about it...

The one that I spoke of earlier on in this thread (I think) where my wife and I signed was at Marion in S.A.
Hopefully the managers will give them a kick up the bum to get them to push it more.

@Fly - Very eloquent!
You should return and smite them oh mighty smiter!!
