So CNN asked me to do a new report, with a different screenshot.

I merged the update into the main story.

Im a little bummed we couldnt just edit the existing one and keep the comments and views.. but ...

"dont worry, this will get a lot more views when vetted"

Fingers crossed:

...shouldn't the headline be 'Effecting Change,' rather than 'Affecting Change?'

Affect.. you make it happen... Effect.. you change it.. so we are not changing change but making change happen.

Where do we go from here? Continue the message. Keep playing, convince people to download it perhaps.

I dont know if this means we will get a lot more coverage as a vetted iReport or not.. I mean, we had about 5000 views to begin with.

I think.. its a lever to show validity to our cause, but its a tool, one of many. It was a good mark to hit, but I think the real issue is to continue to press on how this is not a bunch of whiney gamers, but organizers, people who set up real hero, play the game with their grandparents, etc.

So what does vetted for CNN mean exactly?

Stage 1 complete? If so, what's stage 2?

Stage 3 is exactly what we want to have happen. What would be more profitable from these efforts than getting the game basically relaunched?

OUTSTANDING article! Voted already!

You all realize that the reccomend button and share button aren't what we need to get this on CNN's big radar right? We all need to click the button "This belongs on CNN." We need roughly what?.. 4000 people to click that before we get to the big leagues.

Start pushing that down all your friends and family's throats. If we can get that many signatures to save the game in a few hours we shouldhave already been on CNN's tv broadcast by now!
