That's what Brian Boitano'd do!
Over on the Overclocked Remix forums, ArgonX decides to be an activist. Not just any activist, but an activist in the most worthy cause to get SquareEnix to make "Chrono Break", a supposed threequel to "Chrono Trigger" which never really existed outside of a stagnant copyright claim from back in 2001.

How does he plan on making this happen, you ask? Why, he's set up an online petition! It's worth noting that his online petition vehicle is not in fact PetitionOnline, but Live March.com, which basically creates a mailing list of sorts to spam the protestee of choice with phone calls, faxes, and e-mails. Because that's not obnoxious in the least.

Guess what his fellow forumites think? Come on, guess!



ArgonX: "This is not just a petition. Every person who decides that they wish to support the movement is to call Kyoko Yamashita, the Marketing Communications Manager of Square-Enix, and let her know that we want another installment of the Chrono series. If we have numerous amounts of people join the movement, we can get publicized in media outlets all over the United States and hopefully gain the attention of Square-Enix."

HamsterCorp: "I hope this person you're calling speaks English."
Tristor Trucido: "I hope they don't."

Edgecrusher: "Online petition you say? SURELY THAT WILL WORK!"

ArgonX: "If you read the my first post, it says everything you need to know. Check the site and find out more about it. It's not that hard. One phone call on one day, it's not hard is it?

You make one phone call on a certain day, at a certain time, to a certain place. Hundreds of people doing that is going to make a difference. You just have to get past skepticism and believe."

Pacotheparrot: "Unlike the other people that have comented in this thread I think we can do this. Power to the people man. Square is losing a truck full of money not making a quality Chrono Trigger Squeal. What the heck what have we got to lose by doing this. BTw you should make this into a chain email and post it on other boards."

Clydefrog: "Well, think of it this way.

In two years, you can look back and say, 'boy, I was young and full of foolish hopes.'"

Zergonaleash: " dunno what to think, but really would love another Chrono

But if i was to sign up for this i surely wouldn't tell anyone here, as i would get slaughtered with comments about me being stupid and childish"

And much more!


Personally, it doesn't really matter to me whether SquareEnix does anything about "Chrono Break". I just want them to explain what the hell was going on in "Chrono Cross" past the first hour or so.
