[Rosery99]

65k Has been breached! Good job Everyone!

[Xion66]

Congrats, I've said it once, I'll say it again, you are surpassing all odds I had when this started

Congrats on 65K Paragons of Protest! (and you renegades as well )

As has been said many times before - no matter what BioWare does, the children in these hospitals get a happy ending.

Hold the line!

[snajones]

Another article - this one I find unique because the headline seems to put the pressure on BioWare... not on us for once.

Hold the line!

We did it! 65K!

Okay guys, I feel the need to be doing something productive for the cause. I have donated, joined the facebook group, send both an e-mail and a letter, and I post on the forums. Is there anything else I could do? The waiting is driving me up a wall.....

Hold the line.

JFC, that Hudson quote. The game can be amazing, gripping, the next best thing to sliced bread and STILL have a horrible wreck of an ending.

I don't know how this will be met, but the success of the Child's Play charity run encourages me to say the following:

You may want to take a look at this website: http://goo.gl/vw6De (I hope the link works properly).

It's possible to contribute to a very wide array of charities around the globe through this website (e.g. cover a kid's yearly school expenses in rural India for $40, and so on).

It's also possible to make donations in someone's honor. It's described here, how all that works: http://www.globalgiv...ts/inhonor.html
Thus it would also be possible to track donations made through this website, if they're made in honor of, say, Commander Shepard.

This charity has been doing really really well. I just wanted to suggest a bit more variety.

Thanks.

We are discussing this doing annually but for now, I think it's best we stick with Childs Play and see just how much we can raise. The idea of giving to other charitys is one I fully endorse and trust me, we will be setting something up later this year for another donation run in the name of our beloved ME, whether we get the ending or not.

Hold The Line,

Ok great. Just wanted to bring this up. On globalgiving.org, it's possible to find many projects around the world to which we could contribute.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention, we'll likely use it to choose our next charity. For now though, we hold the line! Gotta show bioware were serious and the media that we aren't what so many tried to paint us.

It's definitely something to think about for next year.  Make sure to bring it up again once this charity ends.

[UniqueName001]

Definitely thank you for the charity ideas, it's something we will look at for next year.

On a totally unrelated note, this made me laugh:

I love that vid. Been watching it almost daily since I stumbled upon it on the forums. I'm not sure why, but it makes me feel better when I start getting retroactively irrate about the ending again. I especially enjoy the 2D Shep's last words. Sums it all up

Has this been posted yet? Some really nice words about the charity.

Sooo close to our 65K goal!

Staying reasonable with our forecast seems to have been the right call

Indeed

[snajones]

Thanks for those two new articles txmn1016!! They were very nifty.

Heading to bed, work in the morning - sigh. Still, have to earn money so I can send more to the war effort! haha!

Hold the line!

[aliengmr1]

Just donated.

Kinda feel like a jerk not doing it before.

Regardless how I feel about ME3's ending its the right thing to do.

Hey thanks!

Earlier this week I made an empathetic donation without having experienced the endings myself.

I just finished the game.

I will now donate again...

I understand what they tried to do, and it works for what it is, but there need to be alternatives. Giving the player a chance to dodge Harbinger's lasers and making that lead to a whole different conclusion is probably where I'd start, though I understand their predicament in that the Reapers not being beatable through conventional means it's hard to come up with an ending that's not "far out".

I still remember how amazed we were when somebody donated 1,000 all at once. Like, "Holy cow, what a generous person! Doubt we'll see anything much bigger than that come through."

And then came the 10,000...

Oh man I remember that moment. Heck I remember what page it was when it happened (60 btw). Someone posted that it had just gone from $13000 to $23000 and I didn't believe them, and then I checked the RSS feed and was like :D.

Great to see everything rolling along, and everyone holding that line. Every time I come back to check the thread I'm so happy to see everyone civil and united! With all the chaos of the past week, the charity drive portion of Retake has been consistently the most positive and really, comforting corner of the internet for me since this whole debacle started.

Such wonderful progress toward a great charity, and a meaningful close to a saga that's brought a lot of enjoyment to so many.

Hold the line!
