Thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated.

ahh, if thats what that was about, Whitlock is right. The @saveourchiefs name is not a random fan who can link to unverified message board rumors, the standard has to be higher than that.

Yes, it does, Mr. alnorth.

Mr. Marty Mac Ver 2.0 or whomever is responsible for keeping @Saveourchiefs active on a daily basis needs to realize that it isn't a "personal" account. It is spokes-account representing 77,000 Chiefs fans. Honestly, it isn't that difficult. Simply refrain from tweeting opinion or rumor. That's it.

I'm not criticizing. Overall, they're doing a great job ... a fantastic job. But the fact is that people like DEB ALL CAPS and Pioligo's Onyums will be looking for any opportunity to damage the movement's credibility or find a weakness to exploit. It makes no sense to simply hand them the ammo and the gun.

If "whomever it is" feels a burning desire to tweet something else, can they not create a personal account?

Been to the FB page. Not sure that makes it a trademark. I am sure there are others on here with more knowledge of legal matters.

Whoever is running the saveourchiefs.com has to stop making mistakes like this. You are representing 77K people. You cant be re-tweeting rumors and innuendo. This lowers our Chiefs street cred.

Not only do you get into legal issues, those 77K will not grow. This is not some inside info tweet account. It represents 77K Chief fans who want positive change on the Chiefs. Please consider that focus on every tweet sent out under the saveourchiefs account.

Mr. Marty being an internet super badass again.

I help Marty out with the Twitter and Facebook accounts, but I didn't see what Whitlock was referring to. I'm glad that was corrected and removed because all of the comments are right, we can't deal with speculation at this point.

I've put it out to Stevie that if his friend that was in the FO wants to talk directly to us, we would be more than willing. Of course you run into the non-disclosure stuff, but that's for another day.

Marty, PRCapone and everyone else associated have done an incredible job over the last 2+ weeks. This work will not go in vein. No freaking way.

It may go in artery, though.

That. Haha

Posted this in the other sticky...guess I could put it here too for an idea...

Like a drinking game...you need to find something that happens during the game that would start a "Fire Pioli" chant.

Post it on the website so hopefully more people start it up at the same time. These people would be obviously located in various parts of the stadium...with hopes the chant would catch on.

Say every time the Chiefs punt you start chanting "Fire Pioli."

I duno...just a random thought...

I think anyone could tweet that information (with Mr. stevieray's permission, of course) ... just as long as Mr. stevieray and his friend remain anonymous ... and as long as it's not @saveourchiefs.

Mr teedubya would make sense, for example ... he has a boatload of follower peeps ... many of whom are Chiefs fans. I would volunteer myself, but I only have about 40 follower people (although I'd still tweeter it).

In my opinion, Chiefs fans deserve to know what is going on behind the scenes. In fact, they need to know this kind of thing. It reveals and clarifies the kind of person we're dealing with and why we're forced to fight so hard.

I love the enthusiasm, but I'm not super fond of the blackout idea.

Here's why: truefans

You know there are tons of them, ranging from Dr. Denial to Señor Senile. Can't swing a dead cat and not hit one.


We've got momentum, we've got media coverage, but the one thing we neither have nor need is....majority.

A plane flies a banner overhead and it looks like we're huge. A billboard displays our wit and brilliance and we're everywhere.

Trying a show of strength with Tshirts at arrowhead? The truth of our smallish numbers come out. Media laughs. Makes our job harder.

Banners and billboards always give the impression of a number GREATER than reality.

By our own admission, the number of people wearing blackout Tshirts will be far LESS than the reality of our numbers.

If pressure and influence is our goal, we need to avoid stratagems that undersell our numbers.

It may be too late to stop the blackout, but I think it will make us look sparse and easily marginalized.

I tend to agree with Groves. But maybe we'll be surprised. If it stands any kind of chance, it needs to be hammered home until the Bengals game. I also think it was maybe released to the public a little early. If the Chiefs screw up and win against the Raiders that's going to jack up our rhythm. But I don't think that's going to be a problem

We need Mellinger and Whitlock to help us.

As I said before, an "all of the above" approach is necessary. The more people hear about it, the more they see it as valid.
