Text, UN: xXGalOmegaXx [Forward-dated to charity stuff]

[goodgames]

hello everyone. my name is nanami chiaki. i haven't been here very long, but i have a request to make. i know things have been scary lately and people got hurt, but i hope you'll still hear my idea out. it's because so many need help that i want to do this with as many other people as possible.

you see..... i noticed lots of people are doing different things to raise money for charity. especially to help everyone who got hurt. but what if you don't have a lot of chroma to give away, right? or it's not easy for you to get more, right? i think..... the more ways everyone has to help, the better.

so what i wanna do........ is put together a kind of video game tournament.

if people donate lots of prizes, we can have lots of different goals, like...... rhythm game played longest, or adventure game finished fastest. most monsters collected, or cutest monster created. there's so many different types of games! so anyone can play, and they can play however they wanna play and still have a chance to win something. all they need to do is pay an entrance fee, and all the fees we collect can go to helping people.

as for consoles and games, it'd be easiest if people who have those things already let other players borrow them or join them for co-op or versus play. video games are most fun when you play with other people, you know! and it's not like games are one-use consumable items, so.... it'll be fine. everyone will get a chance to play, and all the helpers should get their games back. i think.

...but if there aren't enough, i'll try to get more... no, i'll definitely get more! even if it takes a lot of chroma, i really think we can help this way, so i'm gonna do my best!

......probably.

so.... if you think you can help with prizes or games, or you know you want to play, please reply to this post. i can't do this by myself, so.... i hope it's ok that i'm counting on you all.

Mmm, that's kind of like how they do it here, right? But in my world we can hold tournaments in stadiums and things like that, because they'll fill up. It's definitely an amazing game, so I'm glad I've had the opportunity to work with it for so long.

[His tone in saying that sounds somehow more earnest than much of the conversation has - he hasn't been insincere, but it's definitely very obvious he's passionate about this topic.]

I don't play professionally anymore because I know most of the players who can challenge me, but now I just try to make a good environment for everyone to enjoy the game.

In some ways, I think that's even more important. The people who make games, the people who make sure everything's fun and fair for everyone... well, without them, it's obvious we wouldn't have games at all, right? So, thank you for all your hard work.

[Even if she's never played Ren's game in particular, it still feels good to say. It's a warm kind of feeling, getting to acknowledge the tears and effort game creators put in to create those worlds she's spent her life exploring. She's never had this opportunity before.]

Mm, but all work and no play's no good either, right? So even if you aren't a pro anymore... I hope you still get to play a lot with your friends.

[Ren waves a hand at that, though he's still smiling.] Well, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't something I wanted to do. Watching people grow their skills makes it worthwhile in the end.

[Even if Ren is on another level, there's something nice about watching the next generation. Spotting those with innate talent, people who might eventually come to stand before him through some means or another. After all, Vanguard's more otherworldly links have a way of catching up the best players.]

I don't see my most skilled friends very often at the moment since they're living overseas, but I definitely make them play with me whenever they visit. And besides them, I always have the friends who were on my old pro team, who are good for a challenge.

[One of them's never beaten him and the other's not managed it nearly often enough to unseat Ren's position as best in their organisation, but they're both formidable.]
