mattingly Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Farewell, Origins Online. We hardly knew ye. Quote To Our Community: The Game Manufacturers Association believes that Black Lives Matter. We unequivocally condemn racism and violence against people of color. We have been too late in making that statement with force, and we apologize. The injustices of today demand that every person of good conscience make clear where they stand and we wish we had been more proactive, more strident, and more effective with our voices. Innocent people of color are being killed in the streets of the communities where we live, and it is not acceptable. We cannot responsibly hold our virtual convention, Origins Online, in this setting. Even if it were possible to hold it, it would not be appropriate to do so. So, we are announcing here that Origins Online is cancelled. The Board must voice its loud thanks to those who worked enormously hard to assemble Origins Online in a completely inadequate window of time. GAMA’s staff worked miracles, publishers hurried to learn new tools, fans took a chance to buy tickets. We could not be more grateful for their efforts, which we see and will not forget. Every exhibitor, sponsor, and advertiser will be offered a full refund, as will every gamer who purchased a badge. GAMA will match, dollar for dollar, any exhibitor, sponsor, advertiser, or vendor who donates the amounts they are owed for Origins Online to one of the organizations listed below. It is difficult to predict how many will take this opportunity, but the potential exists for the matched amounts to exceed $100,000, which we wholeheartedly hope will happen. The Board sees this as the next step, but not the final step, in the Association’s journey. * Black Lives Matter Global Network * Black Trans Advocacy Coalition * Columbus Freedom Fund * The Community Justice Exchange * The Innocence Project * NAACP Further details will be sent to these companies by email in the coming days. The Board thanks every person whose voice reached us in recent hours and days. It is hard, we know, for those voices to speak when they have so much at stake. We are grateful for your persistence, eloquence, and will. GAMA’s vision statement is “A game on every table, a table for every gamer.” We commit to working toward that day. In service, GAMA’s Board of Directors, and Retail Division Board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 IDEA: What if the GM's who posted above run the games during the same time as the Origins Online? We could be but we put the events in the player finder section of the forum. People would then post if interested and we could do a drawing for player openings. I would be interested in doing this; WHAT SAY YOU ALL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattingly Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Some of my local groups suggested the same thing, but out of respect for BLM, I plan to abide by Origin's closure, and won't run my games or even my sermon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Stanfield Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Maybe I’m missing something here, and I’m seriously not trying to start some kind of political argument, but why is canceling their online event related in any way to either a protest, or being supportive of Black Lives Matter? I’m honestly inquiring because maybe I missed something they announced earlier. Any info would be much appreciated.
