I don't wanna bother anyone but i have to give it a shot (if the following post is deemed "spammy" i'll delete it right away).
disclaimer: I don't know if this post fits here, but it looked like the most appropriate thread. I asked on the question thread were to open a topic 8 hours ago and i'm still waiting for an answer. So again, sorry if i'm in the wrong place.
So, Nintendo Italy has started supporting the Italian Smash community by giving us some space at their events to host competitive tournaments and by lending us official 3DS capture cards that don't require a modded 3ds. 2 days ago, out of nowhere and without any warning they contacted the most important Italian gaming journalists and...well us! They explained that they were gonna start a twitter contest to see who presented the largest Smash following and added that "the winner of the contest would get an important call" (no other information was disclosed in the e-mail).
We though we didn't stand a chance against IGN Italy and others but we're currently first, just by a couple of tweets though.
Needless to say this will be a close call...unless you guys can help...
I DON'T know if the "important phone call" will actually be anything important at all , but i'm not willing to take the chance. Even if it turns out to be something gimmicky and stupid we'll at least be able to say we didn't risk it.
The only reason i'm asking for help on SB is cause some of you know how small and irrelevant the Italian community has been in the last few years. i've worked my *** off along side a few others for two years to get were we are today (even if it's not much, we currently have 8/10 smash4 tournaments planned around Italy for the month), and i feel like it would be a pity to loose such an opportunity to "shine" in Nintendo's eyes! If they officially recognize us as the number one smash community people are gonna get interested and curious, maybe a new era will rise for the Italian players, finally at the competitive level of our cousins (France, Germany and so on)!
Maybe i'm just getting over my head, and maybe; all of this will never happen...maybe.
If you'd like to help us, only a few hours are left for the contest (till Italian Midnight, it's 8.10 pm now), all you have to do is post a tweet as the one that follows (you can change "link" to another character, iosono = iam):
