So what are we looking for here guys? An apology? Complete recall of this trash? or maybe an international bonfire?

A formal declaration of the book being made non-canon would be good.

Not really, just trying to get people to buy the book. Don't make such ridiculous claims.

From Bioware though, we need the disavowing of the novel from the lore.


An official press release I might add.....

Yes, this needs to happen like right now...

This. A really stupid risk to take and undo all the surveillance plan. I wonder if he was also so stupid as to tell TIM about it.


Did he know he'd have the time to eat some cereal before Anderson got home?

Did he not think that he might leave some kind of trace behind so they could pick up his DNA from the spoon/bowl whatever that he didn't clean properly?

And why in the name of the goddess would you mention such a retardingly pointless risk to the entire operation of spying on Anderson without his knowledge to your boss?!


He was stupid enough to eat the cereal in the first place. And I think Anderson is paranoid enough to check his apartment if he notes there´s less cereal than it should be. At least I always have a good idea of how much I´ve got left.

And why was Leng sent in the first place? All we know about him makes him look like a resourceful thug, not the person to use when you want to go subtle.


"Oh ****, my Krogan Krunch is 85 grams less than it should be - the prize had better still be in the box."

He's trying to save the book any way he can.


Honestly in my opinion I think he would have done better if he had kept quiet about the whole affair on his twitter account. He could have tried to weather the storm then. But now he has called attention to himself.

I kind of find it surprising considering the fact it seems to have been a cut and dry commission job.

Good luck getting a deal from another company for a novel, Dietz.

I take back the good luck part...

Okay that was a little mean...

A cookie goes to anyone who actually does go back and counts.


The scary thing is I think you'd actually find a way to send a cookie to that person...


I'm a Prince, it wouldn't be hard.

It could also just be an agent maybe.  There is that possibility.

Considering how much we accomplished on this thread alone, I think we've scared BW a little.

Has anyone tried getting a hold of some Autism awareness groups to see if they have anything to add?


Someone should


This would take this whole movement to the next level. Maybe wait to see if Bioware responds first?

If they want this operation to end, sooner rather than later would be advisable.

They anticipated the Reaper invasion...but never the BSN invasion!! Seriously, this just feels like a war with Dietz and possibly BioWare. Someone needs to make a trailer..

Fun with out-of-context Deception quotes:

And now I'm thinking of the Cornette Face as an appropriate reaction to the book


No one here knows who Jim Cornette even is.

I'm back guys and.... holy ****! A Cornette face? Here?

I'm truly proud to be among this community

Obvious trolls are obvious.  In other news, more outlets are mentioning this, which is good news for us.

Good ol' Jim Sterling. No surprise that this is the first article that seems to take our side.

Topic advanced another 75 pages while I was gone, great.

Come on seriously get a grip on what were dealing with here.. it's a novel for a sci-fi computer game not an article in Time magazine.

I found another mistake in the novel that isn't on the list! When Nick is dying he tells Kahlee and Anderson about Kai Leng like he has never met him before! "A man called Leng," he says. When Kai Leng is also revealed to the entire Biotic Underground a few times and Nick doesn't seem to notice him.

In Retribution, Kai Leng convinces Nick to lead him around the academy, with the intent of using him as a shield. When things go wrong Kai Leng ends up shooting Nick in the stomach. This is mentioned at the beginning of Deception.

I thought he left more than enough DNA when he went pissing in that vase. :lol:


That was at Anderson´s too??? Just how stupid can that guy be? And he´s going to be our nemesis in ME3?
