Contingency Communication Plans

Gwen and I have put our heads together and think we can expand the Jericho Emergency Broadcast System (JEBS) to function as an interforum announcements system. *IF* the CBS Jericho board does go down, this system can be put in place.

Announcements that you would have posted on the CBS Jericho Board such as campaign information, forum/board announcements, contests, blog announcements, etc. can go out via JEBS.

I will collect announcements through these addresses jerichotownhall@gmail.com and ichthusrep@sbcglobal.net and send a digest of the announcements to Gwen at 10 pm eastern. She will then send this digest of information out to the JEB subscribers, by midnight pacific time. Subscribers who are forum admins can repost any applicable information to their own forum/board the next day.

Applicable announcements will also be published on the Jericho Townhall blog.

Announcements will have a 12-24 hour lag time, but with a bit of extra planning this shouldn't be a problem. Emergency announcements will still go out as they develop.

Any JEBS subscriber who wants to ONLY receive emergency information, would contact Gwen (gwen@az-technology) to be moved to a smaller emergency only list. Any forum/board administrator who is NOT a JEBS subscriber should contact Gwen.

A Call to Arms all Rangers Needed!!

From: redsox19861 (CBS Board)
Date: 12:38 AM

To All fellow Rangers this is a call to arms. As we have all seen on the CBS Board the last 3 weeks many of our Leaders and Fellow Rangers have decided to leave the Baoard because of heated exchanges and out of frustration over things that have built up over time.

As a member of the Community I am asking that General Patton, Xwarp, Schumi, NorsU, K6, Rhy and the many other Rangers who have left the Board over unkind remarks, attacks or counter attacks please reconsider and come back. We have all come too far to let this community dissolve because of heated exchanges or hurt feelings. I know it is easier said then done

Please remember what brought you to this show, what drove you to get involved to the point where people put their trust and faith in you

Shumi and Xwarp and others were instrumental in leading the effort to Save Jericho after Season 1 and because they chose to get involved we all got involved to save Jericho. General Patton, came to the Boards and began to rally troops and lead the efforts to bring old Rangers and new Rangers to the Boards in late 2007 just prior to Season 2. I for one am grateful for his leadership on this and many other campaigns since as I came back to the Board because of his efforts.

In the short term we need to band together and we can push this home. But we are not going to do it without you as each one of you are leaders and your presence is needed now. I am also calling on all the other rangers, posters and lurkers out there. It is time to step up

I communicated with Rubber Poultry today. We have approximately $1200 after Ebay fees etc per PMary and Jeff from the autographed script sales several weeks back.. That in conjunction with the donations we already have should put us around $2,000. I am looking into advertising on UHD as well.

I have grown to trust RP and he still feels that the producers are committed to getting the show back on the air even if it means a movie first. But they can not do it alone they need us as much as we need them right now. The biggest and best trick that Carol and Dan have in their bag is the incredible fan support for the show

In the meantime the game plan is this. We are going to have 3 to 5 DVD’s of the Commercial and one additional script for auction on Ebay to raise funds. We are going to put up the Donation link on the CBS, UHD, SciFi and WIKI Boards as well as several international fan site boards for 8 Days. Once that is done we take what we raised and we run ads on Time Warner in LA, specifically in and around Hollywood

We are also planning to get the several DVD’s out into the mainline media such as Fox and CNN to see if they will run them ie on the 6:00pm and 10:00pm news casts

Also we have the letter drop that is schedule to go out tomorrow, Monday August 4, 2008 and again on Monday August 11, 2008. We have the re-watch This Tuesday on CBS and also the re-watch on Fancast and UHD scheduled for this coming weekend.

To everyone out there, we need all hands on deck. This is not about one person or one group, Right now it is about the entire community. We have a choice, we can let 2 years of hard work, new friendships and a historical Partnership between a show and its Fans die or we can chose to stand and fight.

I for one chose to stand and fight. I hope everyone out there that has left or is thinking about leaving decides to put things aside for now and give it one more try. We can win this. We just have to have faith in ourselves and try to find a common ground with those we have had battles with in the past.

The choice is simple we can either make History Again of be History.

From MYvibesmom at the CBS board:


I am sure that it is posted here somewhere so sorry if this is reduntant but I just noticed cactusmary's comment on the blog which pointed to AMC's viewer service address:

Can you believe it?????????????????????????????

Is that too funny or WHAT!!! LOL

The official address was given elsewhere here...(this may just be where to write for complaints)...but I am going to write them as well because, well....with an address like THAT, who can go wrong? :-)

Jeritopia Closed

You can read and respond to Xwarp's post at the CBS board.

Ranger Rally at UHD Boards

From Jeanine123 (CBS Board)

The mods on the Jericho boards at UHD have been giving us tips on what has worked in the past for the Browncoats to increase their board's traffic and get the admin at UHD to take notice. One of their weekly deals is to host a Shindig (or in our case a Ranger Rally). What they do is all gather when Firefly is airing on UHD and watch the show together while posting on the special Shindig thread that is started each week for the show. It's a good way to spike the board's activity for an hour or two at a set time on one day and make the powers that be notice that there is still interest in both the show airing on their network and in the messageboard.

I would like to start this up for Jericho this weekend and have our own Ranger Rally. This would be IN ADDITION TO the Great Jericho Re-Watch that dbalcer (Debby) started right after the show was done on CBS since having increased traffic here is still important. This Saturday night at 8 and 11PM Eastern Time Universal HD will be airing Jennings and Rall. If you have UHD please tune in, if you don't please watch along on your DVD, here at CBS, on Fancast or iTunes download or whatever you have available to you. It won't be quite as cool as chatting real time in Jeritopia during the Re-Watch is but I think it'll still be quite a bit of fun and a good way to show UHD that we appreciate that they're re-airing Season 2 and providing us with some pretty great messageboards.

Tronto Comic Convention

From: lilblackbird
Date: Jul-22

Ladies and Gentlemen
The time is upon us for some guerrilla-style promotion.
On August 22, 2008, laramarie74 and I will be attending the Toronto Comic Convention.
This is ONE MONTH from today

We want YOU to be there too! Here’s what we’ve come up with

• An information package (postcard size, double sided, professionally printed) 500 units.
• Pre-addressed postcards to give away (printed at home, at our own expense)
• Stamped postcards that we will keep and send on others behalf (postcard at our expense, stamps TBD

Here’s what we need from you:

• Someone to accept the ‘stamped’ postcards and send them. Since postage is twice the price here, we’d love to have someone in the US to send the cards to in bulk and get them stamped and sent.
• Bodies. We need people to come out to the event to support this effort. It’s close to Union Station (2 blocks), so transit is not a problem. We’ll be there in some ‘Jericho’ attire, shirts and/or Ranger Jackets.
• Money! But not a lot. We want to get the info cards professionally printed and cut. This will cost about $150. We would also like to pay for the stamps to send the postcards, so no one is out any money. This amount is hard to determine at this point, but I doubt it would be more than $100. Total we would be looking at about $250 for this endeavour.

In the next little while, a place to donate some money to this will be in place.

Final details are being worked out now.

If you wish, you can PM me for more information.

Thank you all and I hope to see you there

Laramarie74 and Blackbird

UPDATE:
FAN ART!!

We’ve decided that our postcards need a little zazz. So, we’re asking for your help. We would like to hold a small contest for a picture to be included on the postcards we will be sending out to CBS PARAMOUNT in support of Jericho.
Please note the prize for this contest is having the honour of your art on the postcards, which will be signed by people at the Fan Expo, and then sent to Paramount.
And, we might just buy you a drink…if you’re in Toronto.
The picture to be included will be a maximum of 3”x4”. It’s small, but it’s going on a 4x6 postcard, black and white. The art can be anything you choose that is Jericho related. It can be compilations, cartoons, caricatures … anything you want.
All images must be posted/submitted by August 10th, and voting will take place shortly thereafter. They will need to be sent to print by the 15th, so there is only a short window to vote. Please do NOT go on vacation that week! : )
