What the game needs now is a big push from all of us. With one week left, we've got a lot of ground to cover, but it's doable and I know there are many of us here that really want to see this game released.
If you use Twitter...
Put out messages calling for support. For example, something like:
Here's a crash course on Twitter to help out:
If you're on Facebook...
Post a message to groups that you know will have people interested. Avoid hyperbole, and give links to both the download and Kickstarter pages if possible.
If you're a regular on gaming forums:
Post to the forum, calling for support. Again, being realistic works better than hyperbole, and this game has a lot of reality that is pure awesome
please don't

To the developers...
Eric and Sandra,
I wish you the best of luck with Project Gorgon, and I know a solid push during this crucial last week can help get the funding you need to bring it to release.
Cheers!

#ProjectGorgon #MMO #RPG needs your support! Check it out at http://kck.st/1AUt79l
Here's a crash course on Twitter to help out:
- people are more likely to click on tweets with links at the beginning or end than tweets with links in the middle.
- separating MMORPG into two separate tags reaches two separate audiences that are likely to be interested in Project Gorgon
- truth works better than deception. "clickbait" titles/messages drive people to a page but it backfires if you want them to get on board with your idea/message
- if you know other general hashtags that would be relevant, share them here

If you're a regular on gaming forums:

- the feature list isn't a wishlist - many features are live and playable right now
- this isn't some random gamer with a pipedream - it's industry professionals with decades of experience between them
- seeing is believing - playing the game sometimes helps sell it more than even the most genuine praise will
please don't
- create new accounts to post about this - one-post wonders backfire
- spam multiple boards at the same forum - find the right one for the msg and post there
- oversell or exaggerate - it does a disservice to the actual work that has already been done

To the developers...
Eric and Sandra,
- If you haven't already, touch base again with your buddies in the industry and ask them to spread the word around. You know that doing so will have exponential reach, and you know you'd do the same thing for them.
- Start daily updates of the Kickstarter page. It shows activity, keeps the current audience engages, and it also gives more things to fans and press to link to. I know the hurdle there is that every moment blogging/updating is a moment that you're not able to get work done on the project, but the reality is that without funding there will be no project.
I wish you the best of luck with Project Gorgon, and I know a solid push during this crucial last week can help get the funding you need to bring it to release.
Cheers!
