F.A.Q.
Q: If I enter every round, can I win more than once?
A: Yes. Each individual who participates can win once per round. For example, if only one person participates in this promotion at every opportunity, they would win the prize(s) offered every single round.
Q: In order to enter, do I have to share the petition over and over? I don't want to annoy my Facebook friends!
A: Totally understood and accounted for. To enter, you could choose to send a Tweet each round and avoid Facebook altogether. Or, you could choose to share the petition just once, and Tweet for the additional rounds. The choice is up to you!
Q: If I send a tweet and don't get a response of any kind, does that disqualify my entry? What happens if the Sega exec ignores me?
A: As long as you send a relevant Tweet, regardless if it's answered or not, your entry is still valid.
Q: I only have a few friends on Facebook. Do I have to have a certain amount of friends to qualify?
A: No. Your entry is good whether you have 5 friends, 50 friends, 500 friends, or 5,000 friends. Anything looking like a dummy account, however, will not be deemed a valid entry. For example, if a FB account only has a few friends with little to no activity, that entry will not be valid. We ask that those who participate, and use the Facebook option, use an active and real account please.
Q: What happens if I share the petition on Facebook, but none of my friends sign it? Will my entry still count?
A: Yes, your entry will most certainly count, regardless if it is able to produce any signatures or not. What we are trying to do is reach out to people who are fans of Aliens and would want to support this cause. We understand if people are either not fans of Aliens or A:CM. The point is to get the message out there and try to give A:CM a better send-off at best, or receive closure at worst.
Q: I think you all are wasting your time with all of this. Why go through all this effort and trouble if Sega and/or Gearbox have already given up on the title?
A: Until an official announcement is made by Sega and/or Gearbox dropping support, there is still hope that a last stand for A:CM can be made. Even if these companies have moved on, by opening up a dialogue, we can at least find out if there are any future plans for the game and attain closure of some kind.
Q: It looks like everyone is tweeting the designated Sega representative with the same thing. Can I post something different?
A: Definitely. As long as it is A:CM related and involves the petition, a request for Bug Hunt DLC, a request for the SDK (mod tools), or an explanation on whether there will be any continued support for the game, anything that loosely falls under this umbrella will most certainly qualify.
Q: What happens if Sega officially announces that support for A:CM has been dropped during the promotion? Will you continue to give out prizes?
A: When and if this does occur, the promotion, as well as the petition, will unfortunately and sadly be retired at that point. Therefore, it’s important to participate in the earlier rounds because it helps increase the odds that you will have a chance at a prize. If support is dropped during one of the weeks, all entries up until that point will be honored, and will culminate with one last give-away.

[ORIGINAL POST]
Hey friends!
So I'd like to think that the petition we did for Playable Females was very respectful, supportive and friendly towards Gearbox and SEGA. I would like to get your thoughts on if I'd be pushing it to make another petition in the same fashion but directed at more content for A:CM, such as everyone's favourite, more Bug Hunt maps!
We are fast approaching the last planned DLC, the campaign add on which will bring us 4 new chapters (or missions) which is coming in the next month or two (between now and the end of August)
I feel that this would draw negative attention away from the lawsuits and such and put positive attention back on A:CM. I don't think we should feed negativity and expect positive action. We need to give positivity to get positive results.
The three main requests for A:CM that I have come across are
- More Bug Hunt maps: Many people feel that Bug Hunt is everything A:CM should have been. It seems to be everyone's favourite mode and they'd love for there to be more variety.
- Make Bug Hunt maps playable in all modes: Everyone LOVES the Bug Hunt maps we have, which are "Tribute" (the colony in ALIENS) "Broadside" (the Sephora) and "Mercenary" (the Weyland Yutani Research Facility outside of the derelict). There is so much detail and the maps are huge.
- More Marine Customization: The customization had a great start but fans have made tons of brilliant suggestions to really make our Multiplayer characters better represent ourselves and the Colonial Marines. Things like more emblems, more heads for the females, helmets for the females, field caps, racal headsets, Dropship helmets, flightsuits, smartgun armour, no armour, unrolled sleeves, etc...
I thought about maybe contacting the people who created the environments in the films to get their support for more maps as well
Thoughts??
