Posting this here from the last locked character thread:

Priestly's comment did bother me somewhat.

We had been on topic ever since I got on (like two hours prior to lock), and we were even in the middle of an on-topic discussion when he locked us.

Also half his post was about how Tali staying alive was in the hands of the ME team. Does that imply he thinks that the thread was actually supposed to be about ensuring Tali's "survival" in ME3? It's pretty much never been about that specifically; it's just a fan thread.

"IT'S UP TO US TO KEEP TALI ALIVE!"

I'm assuming that the returning squadmates were already decided when they wrote in a suicide mission for the ending.

That's an obtusely literal way to take things. Is a name change really the issue?

No, but it's the fact that some people take popularity to mean "This character will have a better chance of being in ME3!"

There are three things the writers will consider for returning and new squadmates in ME3:

1. Can they die in either game?

2. Were they a squadmate in ME1 or ME2?

3. Can their race (except Human) be easily replaced by another character we can come up with?

You'll notice that only humans have more than one representative on Shepard's squad list in both games. Every other race only has one.

We of the Tali board have already moved on. Exiled we may have been but we won't be forgotten.

Looks like you've been exiled to the Characters forum.

Actually...they have a website now, its in dante's sig. And all the other character support threads were moved to the other forum board. So really, i think that might of solved part of the problem.

Well, the Characters, classes and Builds forum now looks like a mess...

Well Ecael, it looks like you're out of a job.

Come on. They're out of your little hang out and you don't have to adblock them.

You do realize I join in the support threads from time to time, fortunesque? What I want is for them to be organized, not removed.

But they are in the "right" forum, now. Also, since this thread is about threads in another forum, this thread should probably be moved or locked, right?  Maybe you should pm Chris about that, Ecael.

I did, actually.

Also, it's fairly ironic for fortunesque to call this forum a "hangout", when it's just a conglomeration of little hangouts.

I said that since you were one of the folks that supported moving the character threads because they inhibit 'real' discussion. Now that we aren't ruining any 'real' discussion anymore, you shouldn't be complaining that the characters forum is clogged with threads about characters.

And you know full well that a 'reorganization' of the character threads makes them into their own sub-forum, which means that they essentially become relegated to groups. There is already a group function on this site, so what you believe in boils down to getting rid of all character threads.

Just sayin'

[TelexFerra]

Chris wins an internet for moving the character threads.

The group function is very much different from a large thread, though. It takes extra steps for a newcomer to access a group discussion (if they're even aware of them) compared to a consolidated thread for that favorite character.

Your complaining about the new system now too?

My idea was to create a separate subforum for all the character threads so that they would be organized. Read my original post again.

Although I appreciate how half of the forum insults me because they say I'm a wannabe who wants a say on this forum, while the other insults me because they think I do have clout on this forum.

[Mr.BlazenGlazen]

dun worreh ecael i'm not insulting you. So you have nothing against character support threads, and you want to create a subforum for the threads. But they've been moved to the Characters thread. Shouldn't that pretty much fix the problem?

NO, it cloggs up the front page of the characters, classes, and builds forum now.

This is what I meant.

It should be split into two forums:
1. Characters

2. Classes and Builds

It's what I've been suggesting all along, nothing else.

Makes sense...but probably the only reason they haven't done this yet is because of the lack of moderators controlling each forum. Yeah now this board and the character board is being watched but if you add in one more board it might be chaos for the moderators.

The forum needs more moderators, if anything.

(No offense to the ones lurking in each forum now!)
