Just a quick reminder to any new or returning dojo members to make sure to sign up to the thunderclap for the impending #SaveShenmue tweetathon, and in particular the IFTTT recipe.

Both can be signed up for here:

I posed this in another thread. But it seems more appropriate in this topic.

I think the #saveshenmue needs to be directed aggressively towards Sony (shu, and gio corsi). Sony have said straight up, the games that are requested the most on #buildingthelist are the ones they will focus on. While Shenmue is up there, it has a ton of potential to destroy that list completely, and dominate it, much like the recent facebook poll for the playstation magazine.

When I view the #saveshenmue page, hardly any tweets are directed at shu and giocori. Hardly, any of them include #buildingthelist. Messages usually mention something about Shenmue, followed by the save shenmue hashtag. At the very most, it will include SEGA's twitter name.

Microsoft have stated they have no interest in the ip. Nintendo have no interest in their own ips, let alone Shenmue. I think the campaign needs to go after Sony. Every tweet needs to include @yosp and @giocorsi, along with the #saveshenmue, #buildingthelist. This may reduce the message length, but it will put Shenmue on Sony's radar to a much greater extent. #buildingthelist has shenmue requests on there, but not enough. Considering how active #saveshenmue is, if all of those tweets are directed to #buildingthelist then sony will have no choice but to act. (one would hope anyway)

This is all my opinion however. What do you guys think?

Tweeting Shuhei will get you nowhere. Gio Corsi and #buildingthelist is a good idea.

I'd say you should do that until you get some negative news regarding Shenmue III from Sony; if you target ATLUS, I'd think you may have a chance, too, since they're a part of Sega now.

Although Sega seemingly doesn't care about Shenmue anymore, so that may be just a silly notion on my part.

So yeah, target Sony for now, and if that doesn't work, I'd say Atlus should be next.

From Team Yu:

"So. This happened.

Just when we think the ‪#‎SaveShenmue‬ Tweetathon is settling into a steady climb of reaching one million extra followers every 3rd of the month, yesterday's social media frenzy goes and doubles the audience of the previous event.

How on earth do you do it? How do you keep amazing us time after time? The messages you tweeted and retweeted in just a 24-hour period this Tuesday landed in the newsfeeds of 22.11 MILLION people. That is just crazy!

But that's what they say - Shenmue fans are crazy. Crazy for a sequel that was promised to us 13 years ago. And we continue to make it abundantly clear to Sega that this "problem" (if people aching to spend money on your IP is a problem) is not going away.

The scary success of this month's Tweetathon only makes us happier to share two very special announcements about the next event, scheduled of course for July 3rd. We'll discuss each of them in future posts but you can get the early scoop at this Thunderclap link:

https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/123 ... n-july-3rd

Thank you to everyone who has continued to push the campaign far and wide, from month to incredible month. We are in awe, and deeply proud to be associated with a fanbase capable of such inspiring feats of Yunity in the face of all cynicism. You totally rock, and if we could buy you all a Jet Cola we would."
