Blunt and honest.  Why aren't all posts by BW staff like this?

In all honesty it is because we are a business. What we say and do when we interact with the public matters and will be remembered. As such we make sure that our replies for things are worded carefully and correctly. That is why many times you will see a "PR" style message out of me or other staff.

Still.... every once in a while... I go rogue. PR hates me.

While I can understand this, it's rather ironic that people react more positively to a blunt, honest reply than a slick, well-polished PR one.

Okay seriously Chris, have you broken your leash again? You know what happens when you do that.

Look at my join date, I'm far from giving the benefit of the doubt when it's been proven time after time.

In that case, don't you believe in redemption? :innocent:

REPOSTING SO PEOPLE SEE THIS!!!

(LOTSA WORDS)

Thanks for the update, LoganKey.  I was wondering about the messages that were sent (and thanks for filtering out the idiot ones that I'm sure a few people sent).   

Great job, RetakeME3 and Bioware. 

Hey, I wrote a message but I forgot to put my name to it so guess they didn't use it.  Good job I didn't say anything profound

So Bioware didn't eat any of our cupcakes? Hm, that sucks.

Ah well at least the kids will enjoy them!

Just got done glancing at the last 20+ pages (going to work/school makes me behind on BSN!)
Glad they got the message (Hopefully they won't go shredder happy...that was a joke.)
Also, glad they donated them to charity. (Even though they were probably tempted to nom nom them.)
Over all, happy this turned out a peaceful protest, unlike a lot of things on the BSN.
Go us!

Bawwww you're not so Evil like they say Mr Chris. 

[Brownfinger]

I'm glad that the gesture was well-received, at least.

It's nice to find creative outlets to express your appreciation. Though, I wish that we were given a fourth option.

XD

The important part is the message. I love that the cupcakes went to the kids! I can only imagine how happy they were to get such yummy treats.

[LoganKey]

Here's my interivew with Puresophistry!

It is one of the two interviews I gave about the Cupcake Drive.

I hope you all enjoy it. I did my best to represent our community

In a way, I totally understand not eating the cupcakes. I mean they were "protest" cupcakes!!! Don't get me wrong, best...idea...ever, but if you were Bioware, wouldn't you feel weird eating something that was give to you telling you that the ending of your product was horrible?!

We got our point across, in both a kind but upfront way and that's what is important. That Bioware gave the cupcakes away to needy kids is awesome, because the evil thing to do would have been to grap the cupcakes from the Fuss people, and publicly dump them in the trash while ripping up the comments that were sent to Bioware. That's not what Bioware did - they accepted the cupcakes, made sure to take out all the messages so that they could be read and then gave the cupcakes to children who would enjoy them. Saying that Bioware giving the cupcakes away was wrong, would be like saying that giving our money to Child's Play was wrong.

This was an awesome way to protest the endings of Bioware but lets not start complaining that Bioware didn't sit there and eat our cupcakes while at the same time reading the notes that were sent about the endings. Complaining about the endings is fine....complaining that people did not eat cupcakes - well there's a limit to complaining, that's all I have to say.
