import goodwill campaign brainstorming post!

Hello everyone! There's been some discussion both ICly in game and OOCly about ways that imPorts can take a stand against Vulcanus that aren't necessarily through fighting/battle means. A few ideas have been floated. Here's some ideas that have come up so far:

- A presentation to the United Nations
- A series of PSAs featuring imPort celebrities and native celebrities sympathetic to imPort causes
- Letters to newspapers/a series of op-ed pieces
- A pro-imPort march or rally
- imPort Con: a convention featuring imPorts from various walks of life, highlighting their individual contributions to the world, both great and small, featuring demonstrations, panels, as well as interviews with imPorts about their lives in the City
- imPort Telethon: a widely broadcast telethon hosted by imPorts featuring performances and presentations, allowing Cityzens to call and interact with imPorts while raising funds for charity

So far our ideas have focused heavily on winning over hearts and minds in an attempt to prevent anti-imPort sympathies from spreading, but it certainly doesn't have to be limited to this agenda! I'd like to really gauge interest in some of these ideas, see what others we can come up with, and hopefully get the ball rolling on some neat plot ideas that can involve a wide variety of characters! I look forward to seeing what ideas we can come up with and hope we can pursue any of them that seems viable! c:

Just throwing out a couple ideas... I really like the ones that have been proposed thus far!

Maybe some peaceful cultural events, like art shows, book signings or readings, plays or other performances, to promote imPort awareness.

An imPort PR council (if we don't already have one), dedicated to maintaining good relationships between imPorts and Cityzens.

City beautification, dedication of a park or new green spaces, or public gardens.

a sort of pr council is an idea angie and hank were actually bouncing around in her post, in the initial stages just to brainstorm ways to go about something like this. kiritsugu's name came up as one of their candidates, in fact

Ah, I see. And that's great! I'd absolutely love for Kiritsugu to get involved with something like that, in some capacity. It would be especially great for him to do something peaceful, since he's been trying to get/stay away from violence.
professorlionface: (I'll have to think about this.)
