*sigh* sometimes when I'm doing mundane things like washing the dishes...my mind wanders.

Remember when Weekes wrote that small essay about CF and his friend...I wonder how said friend would feel to know is he is so easily disposable? I would imagine it wouldn't be pleasant.

@mnomaha Exactly. Even if Thane 'had' to die in game, if they had put in more content and actually made Shep react to his death and be able to have a real conversation with him then that would have been actually acknowledging people with terminal illnesses and making it seem like a sensitive subject. I mean at least if you're going to kill off a character due to an illness, make it it more meaningful, ESPECIALLY if it was a romanced character!

I love how they just assume that terminally ill people would prefer to see/not be upset by terminally ill characters in a role playing game dying without any sort of development to that character's story or personality. Any one with any sort of empathy or experience with illness in their life can say that's not true. Lucky that most of the ME fanbase seem to not give a flaming crap about Thane's romance >

Yeah, that whole "u new he waz dyin" sh!t gets old. I admit it, I *did* expect bw to kill him off, but I did not expect them to do it so callously or to retcon a romanced Thane so terribly. I'm glad I do not personally know these people. I would be ashamed to call them friends or family. Hell, I have a few people I absolutely cannot stand and I would not wish this kind of coldness upon them.

It was wrong bioware. Shame on you.

So when I saw the Miranda Poster project pop up (a copy cat, cookie cutter version of the Thane Poster Project), and than went into that thread and saw that BW people had jumped on over there like it was the second coming of Christ and were quick to treat it like a giant gold nugget from the heavens above, and offer they support and insight and praise and encouragement.

Hahahaha great description Gears But yeah they seem to jump at the chance to praise anything non-Thane related.. <_<

@JECW I don't know if I'm overreacting but I think most of the devs, even if it's just subconsciously, seem to kind of be put off by Thane, be it because he's pretty spiritual or terminally ill.. I dunno but it seems that Garrus and Kaidan are more accessible because Garrus's character as a whole is very human despite how alien he might look and Kaidan is.. well, human.
I think Thane might be just too alien for most people, his looks and his beliefs/nature (I understand that there must be plenty of sexy, stoic spiritual men out there but there is something different about Thane ). And also most of the devs appear to be (straight) males so would understandably prefer talking/reading about Liara's and Tali's butts than reading about Thane's ridges -__- (don't mind me blatantly stereotyping men here.. )

I think that you are right. Garrus may look the most alien, but his thinking is more human. Thane thinking is more alien. I just think it's hard for some to grasp the concept. Honestly I have heard people give some of the most ridiculous reasons for not liking Thane though.

I don't know why the developers would be so put off by him. He is their character after all. Is their thinking so limited that they won't even try to understand him. No they would rather stick more shots of Miranda's butt in the camera or obsess over Liara.

I actually didn't expect them to just kill him without some option to save him. I honestly thought it was something they just added for drama because they weren't smart enough to come up with something better. Thane had so many other things going on in his story that this illness was not necessary. The fact that they can't cure it , but the Geth can fix the quarians immune system is ridiculous. I thought that was the silliest thing I had ever heard. Not to mention Shepard coming back in some Frankenstein experiment. Then they did it so early in the game. If you blink you might miss him sitting at that window. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny that this is their idea of a satisfactory conclusion to the romance.

mnomaha you should really roll with this project idea you've got rolling around in your head. And why are you washing the dishes? A true gentleman never makes the lady do the dishes.

And for the record I did take that puppy out lots, it's just my older brother has always been lazy, and I doubt he has ever put any effort into training that puppy. I have two dogs myself and neither of them did that much pissing and sh!ting all over my place.

I'm certain that Casey is the original dude at BW who started the inflatable blue Liara trend.

@UTaker, I get the thing with the quote pyramids I get headaches from weird sh!t like that. Same with the weird Alliance emails in ME3 where it tells ya about Rana and Kal'Reger's deaths and other weird nonsense that should have been put in the game and not an email.

And Tali's voice my god it is irritating it's a huge turn off. In fact one time I was enjoying her curvy figure before I talked to her, and well I discovered that her voice is the ultimate *ahem* wood killer.

Sadly I too can not go into many of the other character threads, too many have happy stuff with their LIs. I only had two Sheps, my main one who only had eyes for Samara.

The other one well I created him to basically p!ss everyone off and see how badly I could screw over the galaxy in ME3. He romanced Ashley and Jack, but he's never seeing ME3 because destroying Maelons data, killing the Council, making Udina Councilor, telling the quarians to go to war with the Geth, killing the Rachni, killing Sheila on Feros, Rana on Virmire, killing Balek in BDtS, letting Kirrahe's team die, handing the Collector base over to Cerberus, and still unable to have Wrex and Samara die, has no impact on screwing over the galaxy in the end.

I created a few other Sheps out of boredom but they all turned out like my main Shep, and so they just Sh!t out of luck in the romance department in ME3.

[mnomaha]

@gears...if I could find an actual gentleman I would quote you to him. As it is, I've got the dogs, so still warm at night. Just not in a fun way.

Those quote pyramids drive me nuts. TBH, I can't actually remember how to do multiple quotes, so I won't be doing it anyways.

I have several FemSheps and one Sheploo, never to be played again.

Honestly, we have to be one of the friendliest threads on the boards. We've converted a few unbelievers and gotten rid of a few trolls.

But honestly, I feel like there's maybe what...20 of us that actually post consistently. How is that going to help? I just wish people would post more. I know for a fact that Thane has more fans than just us.

Some of us are just forum shy (at least me), it doesn't mean I'm not around or supporting everything i can in my own way, in fact i have at least 5 Thane threads open in firefox 24/7 and since i work from home i'm keeping up with them (reading) during the day. Also...being new to actually interacting on a forum...how do i find this drelllicker group you mentioned?

[mnomaha]

Hi Bronagh, here's the link.

http://social.bioware.com/group/3718/

[mnomaha]

*sigh* too lazy to edit...

I know some people are shy, but we're pretty nice here and deal quickly (as a united group) against trolls. And yay!! Another firefox person! I work from work and I still leave tabs open. I just have to alt-tab quickly a lot.

Thank you for the link, i can't find groups to save my life, sent a request to join.
I know you are all friendly, that's why I have even posted at all . This is the first forum i've really felt the desire to interact in since i came online in 98.

@Bronagh

Whoah, you and me both Bronagh!

I've actually never been active anywhere else, save for some extremely scarce tweeting to various game devs.

And gah! How did my derpy brain miss this group? *Joins*

[blueshepard]

So here we go ladies,

the new project is announce

Thane Monpoly

Feel free to tell us what you think about

[mnomaha]

Wow a few new Drellickers tonight!

[Moira-chan]

i guess, sometimes, for the one in other times zones, it's difficult to come in nearly everything was said, mnomaha and i also have the problem to find a connection in the afternoon, because everything happened while i'm sleeping and then i don't can find a starting point through the lots of new pages
nealry everything happened in here, while i'm in university oder sleeping xD
so it's sometimes it's hard (beside language issue) to get what all is going on.
that's why i always ask you to summe it up for me

It was Thane's fate that pulled me in here initially heh, if i start posting like a madperson after a while you all know who to blame .
I've also never tweeted, don't have an account there. And my very first attempt at fan art ever was for the LIA project 2. Wow i see lots of firsts for me happening here .

[mnomaha]

@Moira...I get confused as to what has happened...

more talk about the Miri group, more bw bashing, talking about taking projects to a private group and not sharing, the Drellickers group...

Oh yeah, and ridges

[Moira-chan]

so you don't get my point... i see, i just tried to explain, that it's sometimes hard to get into these thread (even for me) and i try to find a explanation, why just a few of us are posting

[mythlover20]

It's always ridges!

it's been ages since I've been in drellickers. Damn fanbook project, i can't talk to any of my old friends anymore.

Bronagh! Welcome!

Oh, mnomaha.... Copenhagen, next year (sometime), you gotta come! It's only 28 hrs flying time for you!

[mythlover20]

I know what you mean Moira. I have the same problem. It's been about 12 pages since I last posted, I think. :S

[mnomaha]

@Moira...it is the time zone. Most of Europe is waking up and most of the US is in bed. I'm somewhere in the middle.

@mythi...Copenhagen...why? And um, 28 hours flying time is a lot for these old bones.

[Moira-chan]

yeah i know mnomaha, that's what i tried to explain, that the time zone is the problem we're to global.
i always have about 5/6 new pages when i come online^^ i think i'm not the only one^^

[mythlover20]

@mnomaha... It's 30 for me, and my mother is coming and she's a lot older than you..... and it's related to that monopoly project that Dani just announced. I'll pm you, love.
