I'm currently in the tentative stages of organizing a protest of Lucasarts officies in San Rafael, CA (I live in Santa Cruz, so picketing comes naturally to me). Target dates would be either March 19th or 22nd, but are somewhat flexible. Anybody interested should PM and E-Mail me (krashkow@aol.com). Let Lucasarts know how you feel!

krash youre the man..make sure u take photos n stuff

can us (fans from overseas) help organize that protest in any way? i feel so helpless... emailing is not enough anymore...

I'd like to help, but I live nowhere near San Rafael, or California for that matter.

Do take some pictures. I'll put them on my website.

Two things you could do to help.

1) Send Lucasarts an actual lettr. E-Mails don't carry as much weight as posted letters. Here's an address for one of the managers (It's the same address as Lucasarts Prduct Support):

Mike Nelson
P.O. Box 10307
San Rafael, CA
94912
USA

2) If there any any message boards you frequent that may have Americans on them who are interested, spread the word about the protest and link this thread.

i live on the east coast, but give em hell for me


(and if all possible, make a sign that says "give me sam and max 2 or give me death!, and sign toenail1 at the bottom)

I'm just gonna say you might wanna do it sooner if you really want an impact, 3 weeks after the fact is a little late.

I'd love to do it sooner, but I have a little thing called college finals to deal with over the next couple weeks.

Haha, I'm on Spring Break, in your face!

I wish I could join the actual protest also, but I too, live on the East Coast. :(

One more person to raise hell over there for! >D

Do you not feel that you're over-reacting a little?

Krash Kow, be sure to print out the site picture from "Save Sam and Max" (that one picture on the "Home" page with all the screenshots behind it) several times on posterboard, and put the posters all over Lucasarts' building, cars in the parking lot, and in their general area.

I've advertised the protest on imdb.com (on the Video Game board) and gamefaqs.com's PC board. Anything else I can do?

AW MAN! I don't live in California, but I want to protest. I already signed every petition I could find.

You're spreading the word and that's good enough. :D

I think its also VERY disrespectful, that LA hasnt said anything about the huge response, that canceling S&M for sure resulted in, that just proves it, LA DONT give sh*t about the people, the potentiel buyers, i AM boycoting LA forever, and i have started to hide any Star Wars game i can find in the shops ;)

SAVE SAM & MAX!

started to hide any Star Wars game i can find in the shops

YES! someone finally taking my ideas (not in a bad way though)

we should all do that!!! unfortunately i havent been in a gaming store in like a month, so i havent had an opportunity to do it yet


PS: did you think of that yourself, or read my post? if you made it by yourself, then it proves great minds think alike

PPS: krashkow, if you read my thread in the mainstream section (a big boost to that cause) i want you to know i meantion your picket line in there, if they post it up (just read my thread and you'll know what im talking about) it will be a GREAT boost to your picket

Heh, I once hid a bunch of Star Wars games behind Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island. The store kicked me out :(

SyntheticGerbil, take a break from insulting people and calling them names. That's the only reason, you're here, right?

I hid all the Star Wars games brhind the curling games in the local Zellers, and no one was the wiser...

...curling? Who made that a sport?

I'm not entirly sure why I found that hilarious, I just did.

hey krash kow, if you read my post "a big boost to the cause" then you'll see that Aaron Williams of www.nodwick.com) says he will post the info i sent him about the petitions and stuff INCLUDING YOUR PICKET LINE!!! maybe you'll get some more people because of it

I know this is a bit of a stretch, but maybe you could put a little ad in the local paper to help generate more support for the rally?

Hmmm...Possibly...I gotta see what my budget will pheasably allow.

I'm gonna advertise this on Gamespy. Hoo yeah. You'll get a lot of activity out of that.

I belive the phrase your looking for is Booyah... boo.

Just post an ad in the paper

you'll get all the people on well fare to show up just because they like to complain

I thought of it myself ;) and yes equal kids plays best :) I have also hidden Armed and Dangerous ;) So no LA game other than the adventure kind, cant rest easy Muahahahahaha :)

We shall never surrender...

So is there a picket line? Is this going to happen or what? :)

Yeah, seriously, have you guys insured that more than three people will be there? This could be great if it works out.

If there is going to be a protest in CA, how many people are going to show up, I hope it doesn't turn out to be a joke and end up having only like 20 people there. Hopefully, there are a lot of fans in Cali that are willing to participate in this event. If it turns out the way I would of want it to, Then send me pics!!! Unfortunately I am unable to attend this event because of my residence as an east coaster...:(

Today was supposed to be one of the two days...
Talk to us KrashKow!

:(

maybe lucasarts got 2 him.. anyway..the next protest is gonna be at E3!! im sure a lot more people can get 2 that...

Why do most of the sam and max fans come from the east coast? It seems kinda odd.

Anyways, yeah, I wanna see what happened to that protest!

Hey folks. It's is I. I've had to postpone the protest until monday. However, I may end up being the only fellow out there. Almost all of the e-mails have come from out-of-staters giving me support (which is cool). Not many in the bay area seem to be biting.

Put an ad in the San Rafael newspaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've gotta get more than 1 person (yourself) out there! :rolleyes:

you shouldnt do it if you are the only one

Alright folks, a severe complication has arisen in the whole picketing plan. Today I mounted a reconnaissance mission to San Rafael to get a lay of the place and figure out good meeting points, good places to leave cars and most of all, figure the best spot to picket at Lucasarts headquarters. Using the direction I had to the Lucasarts Main Office, I found myself in a posh residential neighborhood, with home behind gates and such. I followed the road (Summit Ave.) all the way until it became another road and dumped out at Dominican University. I kept searching for quite a while, but to no avail. It seems that the address of Lucasarts HQ is a decoy. Needless to say, I’m quite frustrated by this.
With this in mind, I’m going to have to call the protest a wash for the time being. I’ve contacted Steve Purcell and asked him for Lucasarts’ offices address, but he seemed reticent when it came to revealing the location (perhaps a condidentiality clause?) With this in mind, if anyone has any suggestions about where to go from here, I’m listening. If you know where to go, let me know. Or, if anyone has any other ideas about how to take the fight to Lucasarts, I’m all ears. I’m sorry about all this folks. Guess it’s back to the drawing board. Again, contact me if you have any info or suggestions.

I feel like we're at war here. I'll get the tanks; let's take these suckers down!

Any who, you'd think you'd check if the office was there first. Gathering rabid fans in a residential area would've been a disaster. Think about the children! :eek:

When and where is this E3 being held

May 12 to 14th, in a little town called Los Angeles.

:eek:
So the address was a fake!
:rolleyes:

Wait, you guys actually think that a LucasArts company exists?!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! You guys will fall for anything, I swear.

So I guess the picket line fell through? Damn, I was really looking forward to pictures. Anyway, I guess the next thing to do is gather everybody for E3. One problem: E3 isn't open to the public. You have to be industry to register and attend. Anybody have any industry contacts that would be willing to take a lot of flak for allowing a bunch of pissed off geeks to register? If we can't enter, we can always just congregate in front of the LA Convention center with T-Shirts. I think the "Save Max" image has already been uploaded to cafepress. Someone better informed and connected than I should step up and take charge of the E3 Event.

Being "in the industry" isn't too hard.

It seems that the address of Lucasarts HQ is a decoy.

Okay, so were has the hate mail fans sent been going to?

Good news folks. I was just given new directions to Lucasarts headquarters and I think the protest is a go again. However, I'm on spring break and no longer in town. I will use this time to plan, however. I will be getting everyone more details. I really want to make this work and now I have the tools to do it. I'll update this thread as soon as I have more info. New date wouldn't be for at least another week and a half though. Sorry for the big SNAFU this has been, but I'll try and rectify it.

The right place. The headquarters address I got was off of switchboard.com, and they were oh so incredibly inaccurate. Hmmm...I wonder if they were using switchboard.com when looking for WMDs in Iraq?

Hehe! I'm being topical! :D
