Melbourne fags. As proposed by myself in >>14167969 tomorrow we will attempt to break the October 12 date of X & Y and pressure Melbourne based stores release their stock early. We have a fairly solid plan at the moment, but this thread is dedicated to refining it and perhaps expanding the list of stores we plan to call tomorrow. There will be another thread with the final plan two hours before we start calling tomorrow. (Going tripfag just for ID purposes)
>THE PLAN SO FAR:
(Thanks to the anon who wrote this up)
Friday 04/10/13 at 2pm Melbourne time, we will start calling all Melbourne based video game stores asking if they are selling Pokemon X & Y.
When they say no, act slightly surprised and say that you heard that some stores in Adelaide have been selling them early and you were wondering if they were doing the same. (At this point you can mention something like how you've been watching forums on the internet go crazy in the past hour with Australians who have got their hands on the game, or something like that).
At this point if they still say no, you can either
a.) ask if they have stock
b.) act disappointed and mention something along the lines of how it is odd that other stores are selling and they aren't.
At this point, hang up and move on to the next store on the list.
It's important that we all don't say the exact same thing to avoid suspicion, so ad-lib it up.
>The list as of right now

There was also talk of generating some possibly fake receipts or images of people who have supposedly got their hands on the game from an Australian retailer. This should also be discussed.
Fingers crossed guys. It only takeås one manager to give in.
