i'm down with the "robot", but i live in the US. if there is anything i can do on this side of the pond let us know. and if you need a copy of manhunt mailed to you i'd be willing to help out with that if the normal import channels are going to be too expensive or what not.
I am, but you knew that. :)
Seriously peeps, with the community we've got, we're in a damn good position to kick up a very pleasingly sized fuss about this, and believe me, myself and Jim are incensed enough to want to do something big. Stick your names below and we'll get the ball rolling.

Count me in.
If i want to play a kick ass game on my Wii that just so happens to involve killing people (like most games in existence), then i will, one way or another.
But yeah, i'm all for fighting this idiocy.

Reporting for duty sir. I am proficient in the art of sending annoying emails, and I am more than proficient in the ecsquiste art of attaching captions to cats. I'm ready to fight for our right to kill people in a systematic and sadistic way!
i too would love to join the cause but i am in the us of a as well. atleast you guys aren't starting a million online petitions cuz those are kinda worthless and nothing has ever been done with them other than wasting bandwidth and server space. maybe i should start an e-petition to end e-petitions?
i too would help out with importing, indescreatly, in barbie and or manhunt one or what ever cases with original artwork behind the fake covers. we should all send copies to the countrys leaders and send emails to the press saying they have illegaly imported copies of banned games. and to make the importing even sweeter, use jack thompson as the return address.
then i will sit in a bean bag chair naked eating cheetos playing manhunt 2 on my wii. mmmm cheetos..

Yeah, it doesn't even matter if youthink Manhunt 2 looks like the biggest piece of shit since Superman 64. This isn't about the game, it's about the principle.
And yeah, if we find a way for anyone from outside the UK, we're more than happy to have you.

I'll happily demonstrate that killing people is fun in manchester. Seriously though, sign me up. I'm in.
Word to the wise : To garner more attention, Jim and Dave, maybe you should ask to edit the post on the main page, and link to this blog. I'm sure the people on the front page would love to find this.
You can view Dav's blog by clicking on his photograph in the blog section, otherwise - it's gayed up. Either that or you're doing it wrong :D
I was wondering that. It basically just links to here though. I just put it up to get more attention.
Yeah, I'm considering having a word about a big front pager if we get enough interested parties. I've added a note to the Jim's Manhunt 2 story for now.
Then I'll be representing two armies in that case. The PP army are a mighty lot, any and all help is appreciated as long as it helps further the cause!
Yeah, once we get the ball rolling, I'll make sure the people know. Right now, I wanna just get some preliminary support.
Thank you very much, all those who've shown us that support thus far.

I'm possibly up for it
I mean, who has the right to decide what we play?
It should be our own choice.

Oh yeah, the problem with David's blog is he had a space between his first and second name. My name was squashed together to work with the blogs.
NIERO FIX IT I DON'T LIKE A SQUASHY NAME!

I say we re-create scenes out of brutally violent games to demonstrate that we are here, we've brought game land with us in our imaginations and that is where it stays. We know not to kill, we know it is wrong and immoral. We can just peacefully pretend to kill each other with wiimotes and invent a "tag" type game.
Would work wonders, especially for cosplayers!

I was thinking a massive "violent games appreciation night" somewhere where we play brutal games en masse in a very civilised environment.
Of course, silly early ideas are par for the course.

Yes! Lets do it in smoking jackets while drinking tea and speaking in snooty accents.
We'll do it royal garden party style.

Yeah, PP, is a bloody good idea. I know they've got a very big UK fanbase (myself a fully paid-up member), so it could help if they're up for it.
I'll give them a shout tonight.

Shit, i forgot to mention copious amounts of alcohol are required for cosplay styled stuff but a meet up in an arcade in Manchester, possibly Namco - play house of the dead and all those other games which have NO age restriction in an arcade - and play that way. That's a good point actually, anyone can go into the arcade and play HOD etc. Why is this? Isn't that completely backwards considering the ruling on Manhunt? Hah, we've another issue to rip them on now.
And furthermore, aren't arcade games more violent as there's usually less of an involving plot and storyline, which takes away context therefore promoting Gratuitus, mindless violence?
Half the reason I love the arcade personally. But a valid point to consider in light of this lot.

There are many valid points...I mean sometimes there are more violence on TV at times then in video games. SCAPE GOAT! haha
btw, whatever we end up doing, we'll be sure to make to make it fun and original as well, as is the Dtoid way.
I'm going to put in my Fawlty Towers dvd set and randomly add 'u's to words when I spell them as a display of solidarity for your noble crusade.
Add one more name to the list. Being banned across the pond is just the first step. It's only a matter of time before a big name title is banned here in the states. Hopefully we can nip this in the bud before that happens. Good luck guys, I'm with you.
I've made a thread on the Pure Pwnage forums so we might get some more people comming this way, hopefully :).
Eh... the Gamer Army forum. Which you need to be a part of to view... I thought the PPGA might be able to do a much more organised job what with being an established, organised community. We're a bit slapdash, a bit random and more social - not that I'm doubting our effectiveness - we're just not geared for this kind of thing. PPGA have all the contacts, the email lists, the teamspeak channels, they generally have more clout.
I'm Canadian, but I'm down. Personally I can't wait to gouge people in that game, and I want everyone everywhere to have to ability to murder people with a pretend knife!
Ehm... well, it's Pure Pwnage, David... you have to sign up to the PPGA, which costs money. I was member #130 and there are about 2200 members at the moment, so i was one of the first to prove that I had absolutely nothing in my life.
