Unity Event: Extra Life Charity Drive and Gameathon

[Patribot]

I'm all signed-up and have told the family I'm not doing anything else on the 20th. Now to line-up donors.  :)

[Segev]

I hope it does, I am hoping we can coordinate the media day event with Extra Life... I'm the idiot with the media day event...

I want all the events to achieve their goals and more....

Actually, though I've let the thread fall to the second page due to having been unable to make progress the last couple of days on advancing it, I've been organizing the media day event. If you want to move in and take some of the effort up, I'd more than welcome your aid! My current plan is to write tonight or tomorrow a "press release" style invitation and put it in the thread for people to review and help me make sure it's professional. Then, tomorrow, I'm going to take the day off work (flex time is a wonderful thing) and look at where to SEND it to get news institutions' attention and hopefully get some reporters from major sources to come and participate.

As a member of the press I can help you with where best to submit things to get the word out.

[Segev]

Maressa, that would be MOST appreciated. I am going to send you a PM just to get your name in a short list of resources for the time being. Thank you very much!

This is The 7 Stars of Virtue, and he will be the toon I run on the 20th. He will be the only toon I run, from 8am on the 20th until 8am on the 21st. Some of you won't be there for the event--stuff happens!--so I would like to share with everyone here his backstory. Please beware the ninjas with onions ahead!

There once was a boy named Daniel. He was a very sick little boy, made that way by some very bad men. Daniel's parents were always sad, or sometimes mad, because Daniel was sick.
Daniel knew he would need to leave his parents, and wouldn't be able to make them smile anymore because of the bad men.
Daniel didn't feel mad, though. He just wanted to make sure no one else was sad like him, or his parents.
When it was time for him to go, Daniel wished against a star-filled sky with all his might that no one would be made sad by the bad men.

This time...his wish was heard. A very old star, near the end of his days, called his seven children together. He asked them to honor his passing by granting Daniel's last wish. His last burst of power sent his children hurling to Earth, where they knew they would have their work cut out for them. They combined their powers, becoming one awesome being that took a shape like Daniel might have one day.

The 7 Stars of Virtue was born!

Can the Team Captain edited the team page to include a logo for the SAVE COH movement? It's odd having it just be an empty default.

The reason I've left it blank up until now is because I didn't want to restrict us by making it look like we're only members of the Save CoH movement. When in reality anyone who has ever/does play City of Heroes, including devs are more than welcome to join us.

How about an avatar of the CoH logo or States or Posi or something?

The "Hero" symbol. Totally should use the "Hero" symbol.

Just popping in here to let anybody who isn't looking at the Media Day thread: we've settled on the 20th for it. Let me know how, if at all, you'd like me to cross-promote. I'm working on the press release for inviting the media right now, and I've got a physical venue for anybody who can make it to Rolla, Missouri to attend a gaming convention that I think will give us some floor- and table-space for setting up computers.

The main thrust of this will be virtual, though. My thought is that our media guests might be interested in hearing from people doing charity work through the game, so if anybody is interested in being available for online interviews, please pop over to this thread to chime in. If you expressly do NOT want to be approached, please also let us know so we can try to respect your wishes.

This is a big project - especially compared to anything like it I've done before - so thanks to all who are interested in helping. I'm excited! This could help us break open the awareness to the wider world.
