A Modest Experiment

[dontcareaboutmyid]

Okay so with the amount of news on tv, floating on the internet, and ect. ect. I've decided to play on the "modest proposal" of Jack Thompson.

I have set up an email address:

gamersagainstjackthompson at gmail.com

Copy and paste the following message, filling in the blanks.



My name is (insert name)

I have been playing violent video games for(insert number of years)

Some of the violent video games I have played are
(insert violet video games you've played here)

I have not killed a single person and I am sick and tired of Jack thompson being shown on tv and in the news

Sincerely
(insert name)



We have some 700,000 members here on FFR and if i can get just 7000 people to email me, I will donate $100 dollars to ffr

I know what you're thinking, "$100, the modest proposal said $10,000"

Poor collage student here guys, if I could donate more, I would.

Ready... Go!

Edit:

13 of 7000 people have emailed me

I've emailed the follwoing to spread this around

CAD (pending responce)
Penny Arcade (pending responce)
VGCats (pending responce)
Little gamers (pending responce)
Bunny (accepted)
Game FAQ(pending responce)

RE: A Modest Experiment

If he posted it on the main page and said you'd only give 100 dollars, it would make it look like FFR was desperate. And 7000 people won't even go to these forums.

So in short, it's a terrible idea.

RE: A Modest Experiment

Awesome idea, but you'll only get about 100 people from our forums tops to do it. Post it all over the place!

RE: A Modest Experiment

Okay so I've emailed the peoples at
CAD
Penny Arcade
VGCats
Little gamers

I know there are a bunch more sites with even more community, little help onthat front?

You study collage? I didn't think there was a class in college for that kind of art.

I did it, but I doubt you'll get 6999 other people to.

GameFAQ and Gaia.

Post this there along with the link explaining why you are doing this.

RE: A Modest Experiment

Did it.

Also, fix up some of the grammar on the form, cause it seems kind of unprofessional as is.

This was a completely irrelevant idea which should not even be attempted by a moron who does not realize that the kids parents can just simply buy the game for them....

You obviously know nothing about Jack Thompson, and therefore should leave this thread immediatly.

Says the man with the Anarchy avatar.

It's the internet. Do a little leg work. Find out what this is all about.

Or, you can continue to spew forth shit. The decision is yours. You should just know that one of those actions will get you a little further on these forums.

RE: Re: RE: A Modest Experiment

Simple way to do it.

Go on aim, and write a chain message. "If you send me an email containing said message, you will meet your true love tomorrow, maybe afterschool who knows". You'll get millions.

I'm in.

RE: Re: RE: A Modest Experiment

I'm looking for the more intellignet responces, as there are plans for this.

i've been given permission from Bunny, and I'll be sending out an email to game FAQ

Gaia, no. That'd like putting this up on petitiononline.com, completly discrediting the whole thing.

So you think creating a list of people is suddenly going to put a halo over his head and make him see the light?
If you have seen the replys he usually gives gaming sites you would see that there is no reasoning with the man. I don't think a bunch of people playing violent games signing a list is going to help at all.
