Vote for Ryo in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed

[ShenSun]

Ryo has slipped back into number 2, lets get him back to the top. Theres only 2 more days left.

[Let's Get Sweaty]

So what is the Dojo doing, actively, to engage the userbase it has gathered over the past ten years or so into voting for Ryo and spreading the word to their friends?

I see one tweet on the Dojo's Twitter account, back on the 19th. Of those 814 followers, I'd venture to say that this one tweet would easily have been missed by enough would-be voters to catch up with Miku now. Would it hurt to post another? Nobody's going to unfollow after reading the same thing twice, over a week apart.

Putting the news on the front page is good, but for those who don't visit on a regular basis, how about an email sent out to all 6200+ forum members? Isn't this the type of occasion that such a function was built for? Again, no Shenmue fan's going to abandon the Dojo for daring to darken their inbox with an urgent call to action.

If Ryo finishes second then he'll still be included on the list presented to Sega (probably). But if his fanbase proves more powerful than even the fearsome cult of Miku, that surely becomes a much bigger bargaining chip for Shenmue III. As long as there's more we can do to achieve unqualified success, is there any reason at all not to be doing it? If not now, then when?

Never use twitter or Facbook. DOn't get the point of it for me. I used to use twitter back in 2008 but after I think a year or two of using it..it was dull.

[Let's Get Sweaty]

Be that as it may, it's still a very useful promotional tool that should be exploited to its full potential for a cause like this.

Miku's nearly two hundred votes ahead of Ryo again. Damn she's a persistent little hologram isn't she.

[Yokosuka Martian]

That twat needs to get deleted. I hope she catches a virus.

So has everyone here actually signed the petition? Wouldn't want anyone to forget now :-p

[MiTT3NZ]

Nope.

[Yokosuka Martian]

Do it David, do it nao. What are yeh waiting for lmao.

[Stocke]

Mentioned this petition to my twin brother who is also a avid Shenmue fan over the phone. He's just signed up.

[ShenSun]

Ryo is quickly catching up to Miku. Lets go RYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[ShOzO MiZuKi]

How do we see the current votes?

[Lan Di-sama]

You have to open each voting page separately, I'm afraid.

I finally wikipedia'd this Miku.I don't know why she's even a viable contender. Can we please smoke her? I don't know how else to attract those who haven't voted, yet though. It'd be nice to come out on top but I'm proud of Ryo's performance so far. I guess Sumo not including Ryo was a blessing in disguise, eh?

[Yokosuka Martian]

3000 signatures within a week or so is quite an achievement I would say. Some of 'em im sure will be deleted though. Did anyone actually think they would get away with some of the names on that petition. Whoever thought that putting down lan-di as a name is legitimately stupid.
