wow, seems like a lot of things have happened since last night! Need to go through the past... 30+ pages to catch up...
So we're no longer to be associated with Child's Play? Makes me sad that people have sent them hate mail and stuff, though it saddens me more that they bowed to it. But i can understand that it's a difficult position for them.
We managed to raise 80,000 dollars and that is amazing, something to be genuinely proud of! You are all amazing, for donating, for fighting for what you believe in and for holding that line.
I will not move, i will continue to stay here and hold the line no matter what happens.
We did good, be proud!

Agreed. I already saw one thread locked for apparently accusations that BioWare and/or EA bought off review sites. Accusations, I might add, that I never saw outside of one, perhaps two points.

Your right buddy. My bad.


I'm just saying because yesterday, I lost my cool and got banned in the whole pro-ender thing. I never insulted anyone, but I think its because I was telling people to get the heck out while I continued to say why the troll was wrong, that was my undoing

Don't let it happen to yourself.:)

Take a Breath and CHILL.


A bump in the road was bound to happen. It always does in movements. Look at Occupy Wall Street. They had the cops beating people and spraying mace.  Now we can always find another great charity to give to. Hopefully one not run by PA, since they seem to bash us and what we are fghting for.

Remember, there are alot of happy kids now because of our great community!

Thats the most important thing!


As for the poeple that wanted to get their money back from a charity, "expletive deleted" them.

We should refocus, find a new charity, AND HOLD THE LINE!



and just like occupy wall street you guys arent clear on what you want and secondly you guys are far from a movment

alot of you blindly doanted to something in wich you though bioware would make something for you am i right or am i wrong?



Yea you are. Occupy Walls Street had a manifesto, that you obviously didn't read. And yes we are a movement.

But hey Troll on guy, your on a roll so far.



you know what your going to have to live with what your doing

i am done and i am out of this thread before i really give you a piece of my mind



If I were you I use that piece to help you make an argument.


:yawn: im sorry are you talking to me?

last i checked i stated im done with the argument and here you are trying to pull me back in

and this is where im going to stop because at least i know how to controll myself


Real constructive point you have there Tazz. Still trying to belittle us off of what the random public does?

The American Liver Foundation has a charity that does a lot of good work for really sick kids. Maybe we can put that up for the next charity?

Alright everyone. I am going out. This is hilarious. I have work in two hours, so much for sleep.

However, before I go I must say to all of you the following.




I have done my best to calm things down. Please remain civil. DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS. Report them. If they keep flame baiting keep reporting, DO NOT COMMENT. It only hurts us, and you will more then likely get banned as well. Please share this with all members.

Its been a very long day. A very emotional day. Do not give up. It has just begun. Rage is not way, civility is. If you must use rage, use it constructively such as reporting, or capturing important news quotes and forwarding them to our supporters and website supporters.

Shepard believed in hope, SO SHOULD WE.

I believe in each and every one of you. We must stand together. We may not always see eye to eye, but we must continue to stand together for this to succeed.

WE WILL HOLD THE LINE.

GOODNIGHT!


P.S feel free to call me Jason, you all earned it.:)

I had never read Forbes before, I would never have imagined that a financial magazine would be the ones giving the players and the Retake movement credit. It could change at any given moment though, so I won't throw them too many roses yet..

Despite being the minority it seems, the people who sent hate mail to Child's Play should be ashamed. Very ashamed.

As I said on another thread. True, ppl demanding a return from a donation are GARBAGE.

But don't you find funny Child's Play reason to stop accepting donations?

It's been roughly 3 weeks since this started, and so far the fans have destined more than 70.000 dollars to charity. Now, after all that money is and after all this time, Child's Play say that they can't accept money from RetakeME3 because they are being to closely associated with the movement; its a thing recognized by fundraiser's policy. Couldn't they notice this or say it when all this started? Why they took 3 weeks to inform RetakeME3 movement on this problem and didn't stopped accepting money before? I'm not being sarcastic as I also said on the other thread, I just want to know why.

They hadn't run into this issue before.  So it takes time to sort out before you make a policy.  And tbh looking through their stuff it's not the most coherent organized charity I've seen.

yeah well. This is gonna enrage a lot of people, and I want EVERYONE to know that this is a PERSONAL STATEMENT, not an argument or the kind of thing I could say from everyone in this matter, and that I think they would agree. So before saying, I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT IT'S JUST MY OPINION

DemGeth, ok, I can understand that. However taking time to think about the repercussions and if they were starting to bee to clossely asociated with the movement DIDN'T STOPPED THEM FROM ACCEPTING THAT HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. They could have said "Hmm ok, wait we'll consult if this is correct and doesen't entesr in conflict with the actuial fundraiser's policy. In the meantime we will put all the money you want to destiny on a separate acount. If your cause doesen't enter in conflict with any rule or policy we have we'll accept your money. If it does enter in conflict then we will refund anyone who wanted to gave some money, we will be sorry but thank you anyway".

I admit I'm not really an expert on how this charity associations work so If I said any atrocity I will be delighted if anyone can explain me why it has been the way it has been for the three pasts weeks and not a more organized and coherent way.

How odd and disappointing.

That such a large movement of vocal people who obviously are heard both on this forum and through the charity would feel they were robbed of an ending they bought and yet not a peep from people about it on the forums?

I would imagine we'd be flooded by now with "Where is mah endingz??!!?!!" threads or something.

Same with the alleged people demanding refunds.

It's easy to lose track of threads with all the negativity from the anti-retake threads burying long lasting threads, but I haven't seen any of this. And I find it hard to believe in both those parts of the CP statement happened with absolute silence on the forums.

If I've been missing the demands for the paid for ending and/or refunds, please let me know.

That said, I can understand and don't blame CP for their shift in policy. They have been an amazing charity. I am sure they have their reasons. Saying they didnt want to officially not "be the cause" was enough for me.

Just didn't think it was their place to speak for Jamie. The fact they wanted to put that out there themselves left a bad taste in my mouth.

It won't change my opinion of the CP charity nor my holiday donations to them, but it just makes me sad because all this just opened the door for nastiness from the anti-retake posters.
