Great Idea.

[Volkhavaar]

Would love to support this effort, brilliant idea !

[eternalYouth304]

SPLENDID idea! definitely count me in.

[CheeseEnchilada]

Fully support this, and would happily add a sig if one was made. This is a really clever idea.

I'm not against this per se, as it is a worthy cause, but...I dunno, it kind of makes us sound like we have misplaced priorities.  By attaching it to the petition it kind of sends the message, "Bioware, we're doing all this good stuff for kids.  Don't you care about kids?  If you cared about kids then you'd give us what we want."  I mean, obviously, that's not really what people around here think, but it might come off that way. 

If you think it's the right thing to do, then by all means, go for it.  After I type up this post I'll go over there and donate, but I don't think I'll attach my name to the petition.  Personally, I think we should be donating for the sole reason that it's a good cause, not because it will help us advance some collective goal that we might have.

I totally understand this, and it occurred to me as well.  I certainly don't intend this to be some sort of coercion or blackmail.  My main intention was to dispel the current media narrative that we are "acting entitled" or "whining".  It will hopefully be seen as a positive action to bring attention to our requests.

I am also interested in ideas for improvement of the petition, if there is anything you think would help make it more clear.

i might get booed out of BSN for this.... but can we put BioWare's name on the donation as well?  just to prove that, yes we're fanatical about our love for this game, but there's no REAL hard feelings and at the end of the day we're all human and should be respectful of each other.

Its incredible how fast posts are getting pushed off.

Bump for justice

It's wonderful to see you all supporting this idea, thank you. The ability to donate will be up by tommorow, so make sure you're paypals are prepared with whatever you feel reasonable to donate. Remember even a dollar makes a difference.

[Rosery99]

And sadly no I don't think we can, it's one name or so. Were using the ReTakeMassEffect3, but posts here will show Bioware this isn't about sniping them or making them look bad, but proving we aren't entitled whiners or anything but decent, reasonable human beings. And we can help others while fighting for what we want. To paint US in a good light does not mean painting THEM in a bad one either.

I actually wouldn't mind this, but I think it would probably involve getting permission from BW.  Don't see that happening. But it's a good idea.

That's an excellent point

Now that I think about it.  This is a great idea.  Those kids will win no matter the outcome.  I'm all for that. I've already donated.  But I'll do it again.

This is BSN holding the line.

I'm sensing a potential caption for our Kirrahe poster.

certainly not, but i just started thinking about how this idea (likely) got rolling, and the incontrovertible truth is we wouldn't be having this conversation if it weren't for BW.  it just seems right, you know?  i understand if it's not possible, though.

I just messaged the owner of the Retake Mass Effect movement on facebook page, and he plugged this thread on his wall! 17,000 about to see what good we can do!

So we have a quote.  Now we need a good picture of Kirrahe.

...just kidding guys. I'm aware of how inapprorpiate that image is. Just for laughs. :innocent:

[HooblaDGN]

I am in. This is an excellent idea to turn our sadness into something positive and tangible. Where is the page, though?

EDIT: Might want to put that info on when page will be available in main post for newcomers!

What would people think about adding a line to the petition regarding a request that Bioware consider player input when creating any new endings?

I like this one because it's nice and clear, a good size, and it's during his speech.  But any would do.

[Rosery99]

I think that's a great idea, UN. And Hoobla, the donation page will be up by tommorow morning. But we wanted to get people AWARE of this before get the final page up, UN is putting a ton of work into making sure it's perfect.

[DrowVampyre]

Ok, this is obviously not amazing, but how does it look for an alpha version?

Might be pushing our luck.  And might feed into "entitlement" arguments.

That's really up to you as far as I see it. I don't necessarily think that it is needed, especially since it *could* spoil the ending of the game if they take too much player input, but if it was managed well then player input on the endings would be a great thing.
