We've ALWAYS loved Kaidan, silly. We're just getting more militant about it, and have posted sniper spotters for any poll containing him so we can show our support.

ToP(ish) Kaidan by the wonderful Shok86.

Virmire was spoiled for my by my younger brother, but we were kind of playing together. He/we had Kaidan go with the salarians because as a Lieutenant, he should/does have more experience at leading large groups of people than Ash. Also, I think we may have know already that one of them was going to die, so we figured save more people rather than one (he was playing a FemShep). That's how I always played it anyhow.

Also, on raising kids to be nerds, I've been doing a poor job with my niece:

What were we saying again? Oh yes, Kaidan and Twitter.

Keep voting Kaidan Navy!   social.bioware.com/916921/polls/26159/
And here too: social.bioware.com/2447367/polls/25721/ Joker fans are cheating in the poll so we need to double the efforts!

Few things. Kaidan's been announced as perma squaddie with a HUGE role in ME3 S/S romances announcement activated many dormant Kaidan fans and as you surely know Kaidan is #1 demanded character for s/s romance We also switched to offensive mode on Twitter, polls etc. making sure everyone, especially developers, knows how beloved character Kaidan is and how big his fanbase is And if there's a news-drought that would kill discussion in other fanbases, we go out and get/squeeze the news ourselves from any source possible

Man, nothing new has happened, we all just decided that we wanted more people to know that a lot of people love Kaidan So we decided any polls or topics with a choice of Kaidan, will be heavily hit with the Kaidan love!  Do you know how awesome Mr Alenko is?  He's damn awesome!  I think someone even said "Oh god, it's like the Kaidanites have eaten and taken the place of the talimancers!"
CaseyDHudson was the one who said no one loves Kaidan <_< and that was our breaking point.  Now the love is on!! Peace Style! <3 With Kaidan goodness 

[Homebound]

hmm..i wonder if i did that with the other mancer threads...nah, that would contaminate the data.

imagine if the talimancers decided to do the same thing, her vocal popularity is based on the whims of her fans, not an expressed decision. anyways enough about tali.

btw, carla..u voted on my poll about kaidan. I thought u aught to read my reply.

I know that you mean if Kaidan and Tali were put in one poll together, Tali would majorly win, but Kaidan and tali against everyone else... well... that pretty much breaks into a different branch.  I know Tali still wins, but Kaidan is getting to second place, and I'm just happy sitting here talking with other fans about how much we love him   Sorry for any confusion D:

Some of us are also underachievers who found Mass Effect (and Kaidan) late... we're making up for lost time though .

Yes, this. I had Mass Effect sitting on my shelf for about a year before I cracked it open in March. Long time Carth fan, I almost squealed when I heard Kaidan. Had no idea that Sbarge was involved.

Same here, I only got into ME in August after playing the ME3 demo at Comic Con.

Want to hear something sad? I was going through my saves on my PS3 earlier, deleting a few I didn't need anymore, and I ran across my first ME2 attempt (back in February when it first came out for PS3, without having played ME1). I loaded it up for the heck of it, just to see what choices I had made through the Genesis comic. I had made a FemShep (with the default look), killed the Rachni Queen, killed the Council, didn't romance anyone, and, the worst part...I Virmire'd Kaidan! Gosh I was such an idiot back then.

Kaidanites aren't as creepy as Talimancers... Are we? At least Kaidan's human, which automatically brings down the creepiness level.

[MageTarot]

I got into ME when BioWare had their "free sequel" promotion some months back. I had picked up the BioWare Signature Edition of Dragon Age II so I received a free download for ME2. However, I ended up finding a copy of the ME2 CE for a reasonable price so I ended up with a purchased copy anyway!   I started playing it but since I never played ME I just couldn't get into it...and boy howdy, did THAT change as soon as I played and completed ME! Now I'm a total ME fan and can't wait for ME3. And while Kaidan technically is off-limits to my maleSheploo (meaning I have to resort to mods to experience that patented Kaidanmagic), he's the main reason I've gone from  fandom to  fandom.

Face it - the man is pure pixelated sex.

Shocking! How could you?

J/K. You're more knowledgeable now, so it's okay. Actually, that's interesting. You must have really enjoyed Ashley and connected with her character, so that's cool.

As to Talimancers, I have no idea, but my hubby really thought the Tali romance in ME2 was sweet. Maybe that's why she has such a devoted following, is that they struck the right note with many male gamers.

Anyway, need a Kaidan fix.

That was my problem, too. I wasn't given a reason to care that the ship blew up and I died. Also, I spoiled ME1 for myself with the comic, so when I went back to play ME1 for the first time, I knew Virmire would come up, I knew Liara would try to hit on me, I knew this "Kaiden" person was supposedly a romance.

I don't know why, but for some reason that comic made me hate Kaidan. I went into ME1 fully expecting to ignore him as much as possible. And then he spoke I was a bad, bad girl back then, blowing Kaidan up and disliking him...

I was always in love with Kaidan. My brother actually played before me on Xbox and I love to watch him play games, but I really loved to watch him play ME. Then I had to buy it for myself on PC. I had to leave the room though when he nuked him. D8

(Interesting note, I typed this whole thing with one hand for I am eating ... corn muffins.)

Now I'm hungry. But hubby is bringing me a big mug of tea, so I'll be good in a minute.

I fell in love with Kaidan the very first time I spoke with him in the game (which was way back on release day in '07). *sigh* It's been years of waiting to be with him again.

[Ellyria]

 I started playing ME earlier this year, after my husband told me to cool off with replaying DA2 over and over again, so I was like "Hey, didn't Bioware make Mass Effect? You have that right? I'm gonna play that." Booted it up, Kaidan gave that half smile in medbay and I was like "Yeah, may have to hit that." 

[LadyofRivendell]

Mmm, corn muffins.

I'm glad that I only recently got into ME. Having to go through ME2 with no Kaidan, and no clue what ME3 would bring would have been awful.

While they were indeed delicious, I do not advise for one to eat them while laughing. I am glad to say that an obituary tomorrow will not have to say 'brown haired nerd died form a combination of corn muffins and the Ricky Gervais show, which in unison caused her to choke and die'.

But on topic and not weird . . . I remember watching my brother play ME at release which means I bought it about a month later. So I have had a pretty long devotion to one Mr. Alenko.

[Clara Shepard]

I first played ME1 when I was 13... I gotta say, I didn't like Kaidan, I really hated Ashley, Tali, Wrex, and just wanted Liara gone. ...and garrus was just confusing. I never did finish it, or even get to the virmire part, I put the game away for 4 years. Early this year(stuck wathcing my brother... all... day... long... while my other siblings went partying )': ) I played it and fell so madly in fandom for Kaidan, I continued to play through it over and over again, loving Kaidan more and more.  

Edit: I should probably add I'm actually 17 going on 18 now, and that at 13 I didn't like guys(if I would have had the choice, stiill would have virmired Ashley :| )... but now I especially like sexxxy biotic gods 


dammit Sbarge!!

What have you done to me!?!?!? I used to be so good, lol. But I'm glad I found Kaidan  and he's given me some happy moments of oogling at... back armor... yes... armor

Yes, it was rather awful. Perhaps you understand why I set it aside for a year in a fit of depression.

But that's all behind me now (thanks to Alistair, Anders and Cullen), and it's just a little over four months to go.

Kaidan said this...
And I did this...

He has been my main man ever since.

For me, it was this. <3
