function copyText() { navigator.clipboard.writeText("To the Love and Deepspace Operations team, The decision to cancel Valko (Ao Yin) has resonated deeply within the domestic and global communities of Love and Deepspace. This email is to urge the decision to be reconsidered and to reintroduce Valko (Ao Yin) into the game as the love interest he was originally intended to be. The world of Love and Deepspace has resonated deeply within the otome genre, both globally and domestically. Not just for the romantic options held within, but the wonderful elements that set it apart from other games inside the otome genre. Love and Deepspace provided gameplay and mechanics that drew in a wide variety of players, and the inclusion of Chinese culture has set China in center stage for global fans to learn from and enjoy in equal measure. And with the announcement of the sixth Love Interest, Valko (Ao Yin), it has brought a new wave of players intrigued by his story, his personality, and what sort of mechanics he would bring to the active gameplay of the combat and Home systems of the game. However, the excitement and anticipation turned sour with his near immediate cancellation. Many, including myself, were heartbroken with the decision, distraught it was made within days of his scheduled inclusion into the game. Those that had downloaded the game, with the sole expression of meeting Valko (Ao Yin), deleted the game shortly after hearing his cancellation. And with the continual silence and not addressing the obvious unrest caused by this decision, it has led many within the domestic and global communities- many who have invested time and money into the game- to uninstall and boycott the game and companies. As members of the global community, our hope is that you do not ignore our voices that have grown to love this game, its characters, settings, and the culture you have dedicated so much time and resources into introducing us to. Do not minimize our impact by ignoring our concerns and feedback regarding the issues the global community has expressed for years. We ask you release the character Valko (Ao Yin) into the game as he was originally intended - or as minimally altered as possible to address the criticisms received on his initial announcement. Those that wish Valko (Ao Yin) to be reintroduced into the game, have donated over 30,000 USD(203,364CNY) to wolf conservation groups around the world and other various charities and organizations in his name. We ask you to consider the impact Valko (Ao Yin) has already made to the game of Love and Deepspace and reintroduce the character into the game as the Love Interest the global and domestic fans are eager to receive him as. We ask this in the hopes Valko (Ao Yin) will be returned to the game, our constructive criticism of the game will be listened to and addressed, and for the trust and love for the game and company that was shattered be rebuilt over time. Thank you for your time to read this email and listen to our voices. We eagerly await Valko's (Ao Yin's) official arrival as a love interest into the world of Love and Deepspace.

#ValkowasFramed

Please read our Code of Conduct before posting onto any social medias or emailing any news outlets!!

Chinese media has entered the conversation surrounding Valko's cancellation in Love and Deepspace. Because global outreach is limited in Chinese social media, it has resulted in many defaming Valko's character to further push negative public opinion about Valko.It has been requested by our CN allies to refrain from posting on CN social media!!! CN news outlets are observing the situation on global platforms (such as X) and we must conduct ourselves accordingly!PLEASE KEEP IT RESPECTFUL!! ALL INTERACTIONS NEED TO BE FRAMED TO THE IMPORTANCE THIS GAME HAS IN BRINGING CHINESE CULTURE AND TRADITION TO INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES!!!
You can do this by:
* Posting media content (video/photo edits, paintings, etc)
* Be active in comments sections revolving this situation
*If you made a donation, post a screenshot/check/etc to prove transaction (proving you are not a bot)
*Provide analysis into the false claims made against Valko
*Include the hashtag "#ValkowasFramed" in your posts (ONLY ON X AND OTHER US SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS!!!)

Course of Action

This is strictly regarding Infold/PPG and #BringBackValko and does not include anything occurring on CN social media

(Note: There is no deadline, we don't want to give them any ideas so we need to keep things sustainable and simple for us.)🐺For those who are too tired all you have to do is these 'dailies' just like you'd do in game. It will only take you 5 minutes and keeps most pressure on them.1. If they post anything on their official accounts, flood it with Valko's tags and his picture etc. (After July 9th blackout ends do that with their latest post too.)2. Leave a negative review. Don't let the stars go back up.3. Stay logged out, or if you absolutely cannot stop, minimize your playtime as much as possible.4. DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY5. Contact support with any of the e-mails below: Send a short pointed e-mail asking for Valko's return and express disappointment with losing such a crucial part of the lore, lack of trust and the precedent that Infold has set to its players.[email protected]

or use your VIPThat's it. Easy yeah? Do not underestimate it. It has always been the biggest impact we can make and money is the only real language they speak, we just need to stay consistent overtime.Any new players they bring in are going to see exactly what they've done on their every post and they are not going to like that we're doing that. If they're set on making him a ghost then Valko is gonna haunt their ass.Civility: Keep comments and reviews respectful and specific. This keeps the pressure professional and harder to ignore. DO NOT BULLY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO STILL PLAY THE GAME.❗NOTE: Do not delete your accounts just uninstall! If you do your data is gone. If you just uninstall they will see you were an active player/spender and what day they lost you.🐺If you're still full warrior mode:Do the above and just keep the conversation going. Both on global and CN socials, we need to keep him alive! Use his tags, make art, bring some morale back. Do it because you want to, do not tire yourself out.Please help especially with the CN side because they are low on morale right now and we need to make sure they keep speaking out. (Which a lot of them still are)If there is anything that requires specific concentrated effort I'll announce it so stay active.REMEMBER: We’re not asking for the impossible. We're asking them to honor what was already in development. It's not that hard.Please take care of your mental health. You are not alone.

Code of Conduct

These are the guidelines we are to follow to ensure we are aligned in our efforts in bringing Valko back to the game, having global voices be heard by Infold/Papergames, and turn public opinion in CN towards Valko (Ao Yin) in a positive light!
* REMAIN RESPECTFUL IN ALL INTERACTIONS ON CN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS!!
* Do not post on any official news outlet accounts or comment sections on CN social media
* Avoid repetitive responsives as these can be viewed as bot activity.
* Provide analysis towards false claims, correcting misinformation when possible.
* Speak to the importance of the game in bringing Chinese culture and traditions to international audiences.
* Speak of Valko in a positive light, including SFW images/videos/etc.
* Refrain from bringing attention of this situation to ANY news outlets. This can cause tensions to raise, call in the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to force the game to shut down, or cause an international incident. Our main objective is fighting misinformation in China's domestic platforms to sway public opinion, NOT TO ADD STRESS TO THE ONGOING SITUATION.

This may change as the situation develops
