We've been sending to a PO box, which is most likely accurate, since it's from LucasArts's webpage. Still, it might be nice to have a physical address to make absolutely certain that our mail reaches its intended destination...

LucasArts has been operating from a PO box for years, and you can be certain that mail will reach them that way.
I hope you realize that nobody ever set up a decoy office or gave out a false address, LEC simply doesn't list their street address, just the PO box. When you looked at the map on switchboard.com it didn't know what street to map, so it placed the star in the dead center of San Rafael (as do all map services if they don't have enough info). And that center happens to be Summit Ave.

would a protest outside of E3 of people who cant get into e3 work? maybe we could hand out information abt sam & max 2 's cancellation 2 all the industry insiders..and they could take up the cause inside by ignoring lucasarts or telling themn abt their disappointment of the cancellation...

Don't pass out cancelled info, pass out regular, then all these people will walk up to LucasArts and start asking about it, and they'll all be like "Hey you cancelled it? Why? These phamphlets make it look so cool"

The E3 expo is going to be in LA from May 12-14.

Here's the info:
http://www.e3expo.com/e3expo/)

To be eliglible to get a free exhibits pass, you have to provide industry ID in the form of:

Resale Tax Certificate
Company Credit Card
Insurance Card
Business Ad (with business card)
Business License
Commercial Lease (WITH COMPANY NAME)
Paycheck Stub
W-2 Form

So let's start working connections. Maybe another Adventure Game manufacturer will sponsor us, but to do so would earn the ire of Lucasarts.

More realistically though, we're looking at a protest outside the LA convention center. It's big and we probably won't be harassed by security if we behave. LAPD will be there as well. Best thing to do is just to organize a bunch of people, have them all wear "Max Lives" T-Shirts, and it should get our point across. Media will be there, so if they see a bunch of us, they're going to ask and see what the fuss is about. They'll think the game got reinstated or something and go inside and bug Lucasarts. I can host a few people as I used to live in LA and have a bunch of connections. Sign ups, anyone?

I'm not near the Los Angeles area, so I can't attend. :( I'd love to though.

I think an E3 protest would be much more effective than a San Rafael 5-person protest. Handing out fliers and wearing T-shirts will definitely attract attention from other fans and the press.

Gotta keep fighting. We'll win this.

Why all the negative stuff? Nothing will ever happen if we don't try something. Who cares if it looks stupid, or no one will care.


You have a 0% chance of getting something done if you don't try it, and even if doing the protest increases the odds by 0.001% then should be worth taking.

I'll support whatever ideas come out, 'cause if we just sit around and bitch, then there is no chance of this game coming back.

THERE IS NO HOPE! LEC DOESNT CARE, THEY NEVER WILL, AND THEY DONT HAVE TOO! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT LEC IS AN EVIL EVIL COMPANY WHO CANNOT BE TRUSTED!


1. YOU WONT GET IN
2. PROFESSIONALS WONT PROTEST! THEY WONT GAIN ANY FANS THAT WAY!!! THEY ARE CALLED PROFESSIONALS CUZ THEY ACT PROFESSIONALLY



















WHY CANT WE ALL JUST REMEMBER THE GOOD STUFF ABOUT SAM AND MAX AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE CANCELLED SEQUEL! LETS CHANGE THINGS BAC TO HOW THEY WERE BEFORE LEC SCREWED IT ALL UP!!!

Yes, but you miss one point there. They are professionals and they won't protest, I give you that. But they are professional journalists and in that function they can do their job: Reporting the events happening at E3. So if there are enough people there (outside) who show their protest, then the professionals will have something they can report about.

I wouldn't call it all that improbable that some magazines might do a tradeshow newsflash on the matter.

I say go for it. Unluckily Germany is too far away for me to go myself but I would if I was nearer to LA

Best of luck to you!

Jeeze toenail, what do you think is gonna happen if someone DOES do this? If the person makes an ass of themselves doing it, Sam & Max isn't just going to explode at dissapear from existance. No, if someone does do something the worst that can happen is nothing. People might aswell try, and just because you think that Lucas Arts is stubborn and will probably do nothing doesn't mean we can't give it a shot. We might as well, what have we got to lose? (besides our pride ;) )

That's the point. Nothing will happen. LEC will say "no comment" or something like that, then continue to push out s***t.


Why waste the effort of trying to get this going. Thats my point.

mmmh.. that wasnt meant funny so why feel bad?

and typing with a wart on the chin is assumingly more precise than without.

it's therefore perfect abstracted, looks funny and trains the neck muscle. there is also one long thick black hair growing on that wart.

it's a must lol roflmao XD panty peeer.

coincidently.

Moving along from Synthetic Gerbil, Ray Jones, and new nonsence poster, I would like to be at the protest, but guess what? Im from the east coast, so i was wondering, could i send a poster for you to wave out there in front of lucasarts for me, cause id like to know that i somehow participated in such a great movement in the Sam and Max revolution.

God bless you Krash Kow,

For the record, I dont smoke weed, and I have alternative.

Sorry for getting off topic, but since the protest isnt happening anytime soon, im sure it shouldnt bother too many people

Jeez, I think we all need to relax, take a deep breath, call me an @SShole, and smile. If there was a popularity contest, it wouldnt be on the forum, since lucasars doesnt give a tiny tin crap about us. Lets just say were all masters of our own destiny, and we would be damned if anyone is gonna say anything otherwise. And what does this have to do with anything? It doesnt, but i hope i lightened up the mood a little :max:

OK guys, three things:
1. Stop posting **** on the thread. If you want to talk about severed cocks, talk about it on the offtopic board.
2. The address of Lucas Arts in San Rafeal is 1600 Los Gamos Dr., San Rafeal. Map (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=internal&addtohistory=&latitude=KNpD96YvzPY%3d&longitude=goIhr%2bc7tybgNmt5JI0BrQ%3d%3d&name=Lucas%20Arts%20Entertainment&countryid=250&country=US&address=1600%20Los%20Gamos%20Dr&city=San%20Rafael&state=CA&zipcode=94903&phone=415%2d472%2d3400&cat=lucas%20entertainment&spurl=0&searchtype=searchsearch)

I'm sorry if I insulted anyone because I'm new, but Krash Kow set up this thread to let us talk about the possibility of picket-line protests for Sam & Max 2. The thread has now wandered into a rather disturbing and definitely offtopic place. I do hope someone goes to E3 though, as all the gaming magazines I read report everything that happens there, including parties, embarrasing things, and protests! So create a protest in the names of Sam and Max, instead of micheal Jackson's privates (although killing Clay Aitken would probably be enjoyable. . .).

Oh, and for Synthetic Gerbil, I may not be alowed to tell you to be existential, but I can tell you to stop spamming the boards with eroneous crap!

Hey, don't **** with Gerbil, he is more useful here than you or I (yeah, I know that sounds like gratuitous hero worship.)

Why do people even care about Freelance Police anymore? You need to let go, we still have the comics (well me and several others do) and the HTR. So, I would go as far to say you are hurting the boards much more than a vet is.

And you can edit your posts.

Sorry, I know how to edit posts, I just accidently hit the submit button twice. Also, I apologize I was out of my place as a noob, but we all have to be new sometime, right? Also (and I swear this is the last mean or commanding thing I'm gonna say), after several months of lurking, I haven't really seen Gerbil do too much. He's just kinda been mean from what I've seen (And please correct me if I'm wrong). However, I would appreciate it if his posts where slightly less. . . disturbing.

Also, for Dr. Edison, I'm still trying to get S&M 2, as all I have is HTR, and I can't find the comics anyway. And yes, I am useless.

Sorry if I insulted anyone, at anytime, or in anyplace.
