    I’m so glad to see that this has gotten so far. When I saw Ross’ video on it I thought it was probably over. I hope some good change will come of this in the future.

        VideogameRoos is a youtube guy who really pioneered this whole movement. He has a series devoted to really old niche games that is really interesting (Ross’ Game Dungeon). I’d highly reccomend looking into his standard content and the don’t kill games afterward.

        Edit: Also his voiceover halflife series is likely the best protagonist commentary series ever.

          Freeman’s mind is youtube gold. I can’t play half-life without imagining gordon being a sociopath asshole.

          It is. hard to say why but it’s quite compelling.

    A fair chunk will have come from the US. I would not be surprised to see a 20% drop in the end. Hope this goes somewhere for everyone’s sakes. And as always, avoid signing if you’re not eligible!

      My understanding is you need to input identification data, like a driver’s license just as an example, to sign.

      They expect some invalidating, hence aiming for over the million, but why do you think a “fair chunk” will be from USA specifically?

          From Belgium it was also necessary to provide your social security number. And as more EU countries are moving towards e-id, I would assume there will be a negligible amount of non-EU signings.

          For me i had to write my personal number which is not something you could just guess on the fly so i dont think its so easy to fake signatures.

            It is. There’s no system to check if signature exists in your country’s ID list. Random number generator +random name generator is enough to “validate” the vote.

              Huh thats stupid. You would think they have a database which they check a hash against at least or something. For the user it would look like everything is excepted but in the backend they would only count the valid ones so you cant brute force it. But of course governments never think about stuff like this so why did i expect it was like this.

          I think it depends on the country. If you click on their instructions for different countries—Itally, for example—they have screenshots that show needing a document number like a Personal ID card.

      I feel kinda helpless as an American watching the petition grow. I wonder what would happen if an American petition got big, would corporate America kill it? Would it get traction? Idk…

        They’d let it grow to near 100% acceptance among relevant groups, then seed articles to split attention and truth, and then buy 60 senators for a bag of bubblegum and two spools of string.
