Earthquake & Tsunami in Japan - Sending out our sympathy

[Mistery]

In our General News thread where we have discussed the terrible events in Japan (strong earthquake, tsunami, issues with a nuklear plant), bip (http://www.gamershood.com/forum/showthread.php?1179-General-News&p=1057990&viewfull=1#post1057990) suggested to show our sympathy to the Japanese game creators, who provide us with games that many of us enjoy a lot. I was thinking about that yesterday all day, too, so that after getting home and reading bip's post, I started contacting them (http://www.gamershood.com/forum/showthread.php?1179-General-News&p=1057994&viewfull=1#post1057994)by email-form or email in the name of the GH community.

Here are the replies that I've received so far:


Hello, Mistery

Thank you for your email.
I'm glad you like my games.

I'm fine. No harm done.
The earthquake caused the house to rattle.
I was very scared of earthquake.

Thank you for worrying about me.

Thank you very much for your concern.
I'm OK.
When the earthquake broke out, I felt a chill going down my spine.
And earthquakes has happened many times.
But I live in away from the earthquake.
Thank you!

Thank you Mistery for the update, and for your efforts to make the contacts on behalf of the GamersHood community:hug2:

[bip]

Thank you, Mistery, for your work! I think, you left the forumadress in your mails, so I will directly write:

Dear authors from Japan!
My english ist not good, but kanji or japanese is total strange for me!
The german TV shows us from the desasters in your country, and many of us are feeling with all of you.
Japan is so far away, but with your games we could learn a little more from your state and we enjoyed them. So I really care about your health.
All good wishes

Thank you for letting them know of our concerns.
We are all thinking of our Japanese friends.

[EscapeGirl]

I'm soooooooo very glad you were able to get through to several of them. Thank you so much for your work on locating emails and contacting them as well as sharing our concern for our fellow men and women in Japan. :hug2:

Thank you, bip, for thinking of this thread. :hug2:

And thank you tipper75 for your assistance in helping locate contacts. :hug2:

EDIT: Btw, I have tweeted to Terminal House again, this time using Google Translate, in Japanese.

[Mistery]

I'm glad we've gotten already some replies, I hope to hear from the others, too.
I know that there are still more than 1 millions households without power, so we just have to be patient.

Thanks for tweeting Terminal House, Escape :hug2:

[EscapeGirl]

You're welcome. :hug2: And just so everyone is aware, I saw that they tweeted on March 12th - so that's a good sign about their own safety. :)

[Blondiej1]

Thanks for letting us know!

[EscapeGirl]

Anytime. :)

I got a reply to my tweet to Terminal House. Here it is:


terminalhouse GUMP
@[removed]...I'm sorry for late reply. Thanks for condolences. Me and my family is safe. We pray for the people in "TOHOKU".

[Purp]

Thanks, EG, Mistery, and bip, for all this. I'm praying for Japan.

[Mistery]

Just got a reply from Neutral:

Dear Mistery,

Sorry for this late reply and my poor English.

Thank you for your concern and kind message.
My family and I are being fine, near Tokyo.

But the quake and tsunami had caused tremendous damage and suffering
to East North Japan.
Now many people are making every possible effort to cope with the difficulties.

We really appreciate your warm encouragement and all international support.
Thank you.

Mya

Orange Biscuit

Can't contact UsawanHouse because the Captcha is in Kanji
No one here who can help?

[Mistery]

Thank you for the summary bip! :)

I've received a reply from Raika Games:


Dear Mistery,

Thank you for sending email, and appreciate your concern.
First of all, let me apologize for the reply being so late.
We, Raika Games, are located in the small island of Okinawa,
south most islands of Japan, so we were not affected at all by the
earthquake and the tsunami,
but we are providing whatever we can to the people who were affected by it.

Again, thank you for your concern, and hope that you visit our site to
play variety of games that we offer.


Sincerely,
Raika
Raika Games administrator

And also a quick reply from Twinkle:

I am energetic.
My house was safe.
Thank you for worry.
The Japanese works hard.

[GrannyPeggy]

I am so overwhelmed with the horrific tragedies which struck with so little warning. A comforting thought is that the Japanese are intelligent, resourceful, and civilized. You noticed there was no looting? I hope all our cyber friends survived and will be among us again soon. The loss of our gaming pleasure is a tiny problem compared to theirs. I've sent money to the Red Cross. It's the least I could do. Thanks to the mods for contacting our friends for us.

[Yvonne]

It is good to read that our Japanese creators are fine.
Thanks for making this thread and for the updates :)

[SueJ999]

What a wonderful thing to hear from our game-makers! Just hope we hear from the rest and all are well.

Thank you!

[Mistery]

I haven't received any further replies, but I was happy to spot new games from those who haven't answered :)
I also hope to either get news from the rest, or to see a new game released.

[Mistery]

UPDATE:

I've received another reply from aryu san (sorry, don't know exactly which game creator that is :S)


Hello. Mistery

Everybody of GamersHood Forums.
It worries about we and Japan.
We wish to express our gratitude for the done thing.

Thank you in place of people who receive damage by the earthquake and the tsunami.


Manpower doesn't suffice for the stricken area.
Support from the foreign country is very welcome.

It is very cold in the temperature in the stricken area and the temperature is 3℃.
Because crude oil is insufficient, it is not possible to warm a room. The car cannot also run.


There was no tsunami in the region where I lived.
The earthquake was about four in the seismic intensity in my region.
It is away from my house to the nuclear plant at 250km.

[EscapeGirl]

Thank you again for this newest update. :hug2: I'm glad they are okay and I continue to send my thoughts out to the people of Japan.

@Granny Peggy.....Yes, I agree. The way the Japanese have handled such a tragedy is a great lesson to be learned for the rest of us. No looting, no major upticks in violence, etc. Amazing calm. I commend them.

[bip]

Yes, EscapeGirl. I got tears, when I read the last mail, when I read the newspaper and so on. And I have none of those problems, they have. Their culture is so different from mine and I have all respect for them.

[2 Tails]

My girlfriend is from Japan, around the Sendai area, so me and her send my sympathy. You have my word. If I ever play Oblivion again, I'll name my (new) Khajiit after her. :P

2 Tails I am so sorry! My heart goes out to both of you, and all of her friends and relatives. Kitty hugs to everyone. :kittyhugs::kittyhug: (Obviously, slugs are not needed in this case!)

[bip]

There was again an Earthquake in the NorthEast of Japan, 125 km away from Fukushima! It was 7,1 Richter scale hard.
I could cry!
