Kurt of the 301st Storming Mormons Reporting In.
The planned letter is going well. It will be HUGE. Five, possibly even six pages long. All of it written with the best skill and all 142 of my IQ points I can pour into it It will be sent to all major players at Bioware, and all reviewers of major video games.
Good to hear that. :happy:
I really hope it gets publicity with conventional media as well, and maybe moves someone at Bioware and EA as well.
I need your help and everyone else's. I have spent too long on this letter for it to be ignored.
Help me think of places I can send it.
Utah? j/k but not just send it to BW but also send it to EA - and news -
Forbes - more interest we keep in this story; our story - their story
more the pressure EA will have - they are trying to hold out until
April.......
Every contact we use - we have - write to them; talk
with them - if they don't play games - explain it to them in ways they
will understand.
Heck I've explained to several people that are
huge fans of Twlight........used it in twlight terms - and they all
went..........wth??? We need to not sure turn this in our favor; but
also get publc in our favor also - Someone said - about continuing
writing letters to BW and sending in 3 crayons of red, blue and
green......or color pens -
That is actually a good idea its something that will STICK in
the minds of who we're trying to reach.- We have the the resources - we
have our voice - we are united.......We hold the line - we keep the
pressure on them....all the while slowly increasing the heat and pressure.
This will take time - this won't happen over night - but you can see the cracks already starting to form. Whether or not this morning's Facebook and tweet was to test the waters or simple mistake - BW and EA realise just how serious their fans are.
HOLD THE LINE
In part of my dissertation to Bioware, I included and explained the exact reason behind the receptions of the ending by it's fans. The vehement determination of tens of thousands of gamers to have it changed stems from the following, and I go into more detail in the letter. Here is an excerpt
(Please note, this is still in rough draft form and isn't perfect):
"The reason is heavily psychological. This is a game where we feel as if we ARE the mind of the character we play. This powerful link is formed by the ability to make moral choices which reach to our very soul, be it dark in nature, good in nature, or a mixture of both! It is an extension of ourselves, our morals, even our very BELIEFS. Many medical journals have all said the same thing _(EDIT NOTE PLACE SOURCES HERE_). Video games and meditation are very closely linked, and if one stops to think, video games create a form of meditation where one is taken completely out of this world and placed in another. Mass Effect succeeded to do this in such a massive scale that it has become part of the worlds of those who play it.
As a minor, (yet powerful and slightly embarassing), example, I am experiencing PHYSICAL attraction and PHYSICAL reactions to female characters in Mass Effect! The brain is tricked into feeling as if it is a real and engaging experience, and it is so powerful as to even stimulate parts of the brain that release endorphins that create a sense of love for a character! The same function and situation is present in other biological reactions, such as adrenaline release during fight scenes, rapid heartbeat in tense moments, and other such physical responses to a purely fictional game.
In simple terms: It is a VERY real and vibrant world for those who play and enjoy this game!
_[EDIT NOTE PLACE MORE DETAIL HERE]_
The world of Mass Effect was so eloquently designed and implemented through story and psychological attachment that people can't come to terms with that entire world ending the way it did. That world is INFINITE, and to have a FINITE number of endings which all seem to heavily contradict the persona of the vast majority of those who play the game is purely unacceptable! Thus, the reason for the outrage by all of those who are feeling as if the world just came crashing to an end!"
The above is a small snippet of what I am sending. What do you all think? Please critique. Remember that this is only in rough draft form. I have much more work to do. Also remember that this is being sent to every powerhouse in the gaming industry that I feel will have an effect. The current mailing address for the finished letter is over 30 places, organizations, and people.
Critique me. I am open to suggestion! The more minds, the better.
Retour en haut
. I haven't even been able to watch tv or forms of media. I think I am still in the mourning stages.
