Ok, so one good thing someone suggested was to get the charity info on the other language BSN forums. So, who knows people who can help us do this? I don't have any lingual skills to contribute, unfortunately.

(thanks again Puschel)

My thought, that I expressed a while back was trying to raise their metacritic score. While I think they should be judged fairly on the ending which I would rate at probably a 1 the whole game would probably be a 7 to 9 for me. Right now it stands at about a 3.5 for PC, XBOX and PS3. I though it would be a good idea to raise the score, advertise retake mass effect and the child's play in the critic and make it clear that while we think the ending should be changed or added to we think BW deserves a fair metacritic score. Plus it would probably generate some good publicity as the Metacritic score was covered quite a bit in the beginning. Also, free advertising that for a lot of people that don't use BSN.

I have a friend who lives in China and you can bet i will be talking to him about it. He is a huge fan of the mass effect series and would probably be delighted to get in on this.

That being said, when i get back from work in four hours i will draft some e-mails and pm them to a few people, or maybe just throw them on this thread. Once we are confident that they get our message across i can start sending them to all the gaming journalists.

Most of the focus will be on thanking them for being objective. Nothing says we are mature than simply being polite and not making demands.

As far as encouraging the movement, I once again think that reaching out to other communities and doing fun things would be best.

Is someone a good singer? They could also sing Scientist Salarian.

Is someone an artist? Take comissions for the charity.

I'm baking a krogan birthday cake for Shepard. Take your talents, and use them.


id totally do the singing thing but ive got too much twang to pull it off.

Ok, also, who wants to write the e-mail to Erik (Forbes) ? Don't want him to get spammed.


I honestly think we should get Unique, he's so damned good at writing non-threatening, very elequont paragraphs of what were after. I'd do it but as I said, Im sick and I get cranky and snippy when Im sick. Not what we need haha.


Well let's ask Unique if he wants to.  It would probably be best since he's the unofficial founder.   If he doesn't want to, let me know and I'll do it (do this kind of BS, politically correct, always polite but informative writing for a living).

That would be great.  Keep us up to date on how this works out.

Also something else not only occurs to me but was brought to my attention, it will be done in point form so bear with me.

Singing: Is anyone good with singing, they could do a parody of Mordin's "Salarian Scientest" only the lyrics could incorperate our plight and the charity and we could get it up on youtube and stuff.

Artists: Drawings, posters and so forth all help the cause espically if you post them around the neighborhood and in shops that will let you do so! Online or offline if you're good at drawing or such look into this and see if you can do that sort of stuff. You could also do drawings for commision based on the ME univerese or what not and donate that to Charity.

I really like this idea, as long as the majority are on board.  It would show that we're on BW's side, and not all of us are total trolls.

if txmn or unique is up for the challenge i say great. if this is still on the table when i get back id be happy to throw a few drafts out for you consideration. Although my typing may not reflect it I have been a writer for a number of years.

eidt: and the metacritic idea is genius.

something like:  8/10 it has been my pleasure to finally get to see the third game in the mass effect fanchise.  Although i was very disapointed with the ending ( http://retakemasseff...ect-childs-play ) i can honestly say that the rest of the game was truly exceptionall in many ways.  

Nice brief, gets our point across

For the drawing, we could maybe ask some people from Deviant Art.  There are a lot of talented, really nice people hanging out around there.  Pick your fav DA artist and hit them up with a request.

I like it too, I think something fair like this fits the movement very well.

Why don't you guys combine the ideas..of artist and singers..etc and make a video..go viral. Have someone come up with a song..and edit the graphics in. There's a ton of talented people here. I think a video that people can then just send out everywhere and that can get your message across would be super helpful

i could help with translating into german as well.

as for other things; t shirts etc are always a nice thing. maybe a few good mass effect memes or hold the line stuff. just saying. just made a marauder shields design just today, even if it doesn't quite belong to the better quality stuff.

Well great! Think you could check the German forums for anything on the Charity?  If there isn't can you translate the original post and get it up there?  That would just be awesome.

Il try to keep the thread up. Have wrote some mails to german game magazines, actually there is nothing else i can do now.


It´s weired nobody wrote a big story about Retake and Childs play. Guys with a high impact like Jörg Luibl always wrote a comment on something big like that.


Wir könnten es mit dem Netzwelt Teil des Spiegels versuchen. Dort würde die ganze Bewegung gut hineinpassen. Hängt aber vom Autoren des Tages ab, wie der Bericht ausfällt...

Sorry, was too strange to write to the German guy in English. ;)

Awesome! Maybe work with metathron on this if possible.  You guys can get it going on the German boards.

Is there anyway we can drum this up some in the forum and get more people on board.  Also I thought it would be best to make sure that every critic expresses that we want the ending changed to added to.  Any ideas on good ways we can balance posting a good score with our mission of getting the ending changed and raising money for the kids?
