Dumb question... since we haven't heard from VV directly in a while (understandably so, of course), is Brian Clayton (who Disney was told to get in touch with in that version of the pitch) still on board?

Or is he out of it entirely, and the Google version of the pitch now more along the lines of "here's an IP that NCSoft has buried, please buy and unbury it, and in return we, the players, will swarm back to it", with no mention of Brian?

Speaking of which, is there a way to get info about things like this to the players that will swamr back but may not be here in this particular forum?

Alright guys, here we go:

You need to address your letters/postcards/whatever you'd like to send to:

Jeson Patel
Engineering Manager
Google Inc
Google Mountain View
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043

If you've got a little time on your hands, you might also want to hit up:

Jamie Rosenberg,  Vice President of Digital Content

At the same address, urging him to talk to Mr Patel with regards to the City of Heroes pitch he was sent.

I know it's a pain, but as we've said previously, we don't want to interfere with their day-to-day work too much, so please don't use any email addresses you dig out for these people. It takes time, effort and energy to send a letter and that's what we're after here.

If you have the time, energy and inclination to be creative, feel free. The more attention grabbing you can be, hopefully, the more likely they are to look at what you're sending. Just.. you know. Keep it sane. Don't send them a finger or write it in your own blood or anything ;)

I've got a letter mostly typed up.

I'll try to polish it (as "Plz gimmeh CoH or elz!" would probably send the wrong signals) and try to get it out before I go on vacation on Thursday.

If Rae doesn't have them, available.  I can blast this out to multiple Forum, Facebook and G+ groups, as well as tossing it on Twitter.

Good point, peronally I wasn't apart of this or any other CoH related forum(s) / info source(s) until after the game went down.

(1) like Hyperstrike said pass it along to multiple twitter,facebook,G+, and other forums
(2) we can all dig up any CoH companions & contact them to let them know of our efforts (I'm sure many would join)
(3) if you're a member of any other gaming forums, might it be a good idea to start topics there relating to this?

Thank you, Rae!  Sorry it took me so long to see this.   I'll be forwarding this info to SG mates via GuildPortal and email, and then working on my letter(s).   :)

I've been followed by @nintendosushi a twitter account devoted to nintendo news, reviews and articles about the world of nintendo. just remembered that will mean my comment about city of heroes and google will be visible by nintendo fans!

odd, I'm surprised they followed me, I gave a negative review of thier newest donky kong country game.
There is always another way. But it might not work exactly like you may desire.

any response at all from google?

at this point so far from the time this started, I think google has ignored the pitch. maybe because of inside and/or outside pressures.

I fear the Plan Z team may encounter similar 'threats' as time goes on. Disney/Marvel is probably right now conveneing with 40 lawyers from themselves and other participating groups to figure out how to take plan Z out.

Please try to restrain yourself from blabbering, hon. Disney/Marvel doesn't care about any of the Plan Z efforts.

Nobody's going to be sued until there's a product on the market. Whether suit will happen THEN depends on how successful it is and how well the producers have done at protecting themselves, legally.

An interesting statement.
