We are the Good Team, This is what Good Guys do!

Hi there CoH Forums!


That's right, I heard about the plight from a group you've all come to know and love and I'm here now to help join in your fight to save your beloved game! I may of faded into the shadows of being an internet celebrity but I do have a couple of contacts and resources.

For those that do not know me I am the original, one and only Fansy The Bard. I have been on multiple MMO's and been a guest on Paragon's own brainchild. Hi Positron, Zwillinger, Black Pebble, and even the lurking Avatea. Thank you for getting in touch with me but I am sorry for taking so long to get here, been rather busy with grandpa as now more than ever he needs his pills. I digress.

What's that? The giants? Oh you better believe I whispered in their ears and spread them out throughout the Gaming Universe, I've learned a couple of nifty tricks with various instruments. Don't worry guys, the righteous will always lead the way.


Aside giants, I'll be using what I have at my disposal to help the media get attention and throughout the gamer magazines; i.e Game Informer, Game Zone, MMORPG, JSEG,- I'll see about getting an article for the next month's issue if I can. It's not a for sure thing but I'll also see about getting in touch with Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton, and Freddie Wong, amongst others I have on my contact list. I'll also be putting the CoH effort on Twitter, Facebook, G+, and plenty other outlets.

I can't promise a miracle but I won't quit playing my song until I run out of breath. Just remember HORRAH GOOD GUYS and forever GO GO'ing GOOD TEAM!

Rally together in this time of darkness and do not forget there is light in your heart, and with me here I'll keep it polished!

Sincerely (for the Goodguys!),
Fansy The ''Famous'' Bard

Awright Fansy! Thanks for the support, and... well, thanks! That's awesome. Perhaps the drops in the buckets you make will be the tipping points and Co* will be granted reprieve.

That would be me, Good sir.

And no, you're awesome!

hey you think you can help to get the cause out to the real media? I figures if they have time to worry about Brit's Spears' facial expression on that show, they might have a spot for us.

Fansy, I have to admit that I hadn't heard of you before today. But your story is absolutely awesome.

Its good to have you on board. Thanks for taking the time to drop by.

A/S/L?


But seriously tho; I'm currently working on getting in touch with a few of the article editors for some of the more prestigious gaming corps but I can't do it alone! If there's any interest I'll need some back up from the Good Team with emails sent to Game Informer, FUN, Nintendo Power (Believe me they'll eat this story up), and PC Gamer. If your google-fu isn't strong I'll throw in some links. Screen shots/Gamer stories are always important.

I'll be calling them as well as sending in e-mails but what you feel is appropriate is up to, well, you! However the Good Team never takes on a weak challenge, and stomps out any chance of missing a connection!

Even if this doesn't work to save the game it will forever be told in lore and history, stapled in pages of ink sent to virtually every household about a community who refused to go down without a fight!

I'll try to put you in touch with Maressa; she's in charge of the organized press efforts. I'll drop her a line over on Titan Network to make sure she looks at this thread.

Edit : Sent her a message. I don't have her email handy, but you can try mailing TonyV (he runs the fansite network Titan) at tonyv@cohtitan.com . He's the main organizer of the player efforts to save CoH. When we have a clear message and contact information we can do a "Call to Action" post on the main (City Life) forum; his name on it will get guaranteed player response.

Edit 2 : And thank you, so much! You have no idea what this means to us all. Even the whippersnappers who haven't heard your epic song of Goodness yet.

Hail!

Yes, you there! That's right, I've got something amazing to share with you, and hopefully this will lift your spirits a little higher, sit back for this one cause it's one major step for Good and a ginormous leap for Good kind!

Game Informer Editors (who would like to remain anonymous until the publishing) are looking for personal stories, and experiences from the players. I even have a nifty e-mail to send your special stories to: webmaster@gameinformer.com, use the header: Save CoH Effort - Article for Magazine (Oct Issue)

It will get to where it's got to go! Remember to kill them with kindness and express your heroic selves and duty. I suppose if you evils and newts HAVE to join in then the Good Guys can look away for a few seconds while you press send.

Good luck everyone, I'll be cheering you on!

Fansy - Mercedes Lackey (Victoria Victrix on the CoHTitan forums) has collected a bunch of testimonials over there - are those what you are looking for. Heart-wrenching stories about people with depressions and crippling agoraphobia and autistic children helped by the game and its community.

I can try to pm her over on those forums, if you haven't signed up for them.

Also - most of our efforts at coordination do not happen in this forum, so I am concerned that your posts aren't being seen by enough people. S&I kinda died once it became pointless to suggest new things for the game (at least for the foreseeable future). Can you go to City Life to repeat this? I'm not sure whether we can get someone to just move this thread over there.

You might also want to take a look at the "Write NCSoft Directly!" threads in both forums for some other letters that say what needs saying.

In case that helps! And GO GO FANSY!

So I am really excited about this but to help me be more excited who exactly is Fancy?


Justice Server Global Name Elfin and Elfin Too #savecoh
I could name my 50s but why? Universal Heroes SG I love this game.

As requested by another who rightly corrects the wrongs of evil doers, I will post what I wrote on Titan Forums to here and you should also seek out a wonderful idea being orchestrated by Segev the Thundarian! I made up that name, made him sound more heroic. Anyhow! Plan: Media Attention! I suggest you look it up, I suggest you read on it, I suggest you break your brain over it! This is exactly what is needed and it would be helpful to get some guru's of the good to help coast this idea along.


Now for the post taken from:

Star Power!(Highly recommend for some incredible ideas)

Heroes!

You've done an amazing job in stirring the hornets nest of sleeping celebrities! Do not think that one is too small or another is too big, I understand and appreciate your conservatism Tony but there is a lot more to one's celeb fashion than you might realize. I would suggest shaking the coconuts out of every tree, you never know when a large enough nut like myself might fall down. You're creating enough waves to reach the music industry, and throughout the Gaming thresh-hold but you're still holding back. Enough, Good Team, is enough! It's time to send the messages through every corner, hole, and secret cave! I am also doing the same and have received some pretty interesting responses but there has to be an event to match their coming forth. There has to be a way for them to access the game, and will need accounts to do so and ways to honor their fame.

Fred Gallagher is one who is very interested in this cause, as is Matthew Inman, and others!

Plenty more out there, many fish in the sea, but to make it memorable you'll need and event so big and organized and ready for them to sign onto the game for recording or live broadcast that only one word could describe it: Most Epic Day in CoH History. No in gaming history!

You've got the community, you've got the spark, you've got the eyes on you Good Guys! Keep it up!


As usual I will do what I can, when I can to update so that we of the just and true will not falter in our endless waltz against evil's doom!

For the Good Team,
Fansy

Kentor, read the links in this post:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...00&postcount=4

Which is the fourth post, up top. The fourth (huh!) one in the Cracked article is the relevant one, and Fansy's sig has the link to his website detailing the funtimes.

/9 to go!
