How do you have equal parts red, blue, and green, if the total is 400 cupcakes?

Either way, this is an awesome idea, although I'm not sure if it's a gift from fans or an insult from fans...?

Strongly recommend sending 417 cupcakes in total.

Everyone knows error 404 not found; error 417 is expectation failed.

Still - who doesn't like cupcakes? And (specific, very pointed exceptions aside) who doesn't like Bioware's work?


THIS! :D

heh I thought this was a GREAT idea. I am sad I wasn't able to chip in. :)

Maybe we can make it a weekly thing?

Hold the line!

Can't believe I missed this one, clearly am on the wrong side of the plant. A great idea, and sends the right message. However I wonder how the detractors of the movement will spin this?

"Retake ME3 movement causes cupcake shortage, kids miss out on treats"

So with a cap set at only $1k, Bioware fans can send a lot of 400 cupcakes to the Bioware offices in Edmonton! They will be equal parts Blue, Red, and Green with the letters A, B, and C on each! This is an act of love and solidarity on behalf of the fans to the developers that gave us this awesome series! But also to let them know how their core community feels!

Even if you only toss in $10, with 100 people we can send this batch of ASAP! I tossed in $20, but even $5 will help make this happen! Best part is you get to send your own personal comment! KEEP IT classY! Comment prompts come after the donation on the page!

All info can be viewed in the original thread here!

Donate here, and lets make this awesomeness happen!

EDIT: I'm off to work, so I won't bee updating this thread until later tonight! Stay classy guys! Lol 50% in less than an hour... I'm gonna be laughing for no apparent reason all day at work.


I've been off the board today but I just saw this and think it's an AWESOME idea. It says "we heart you" even as it says "we want to be heard." And I would love to give the crew at Bioware some cupcakes. 

Awesome work. Glad you made the quota!

This is funny. So the movement is now bowing down to Bioware and offering their money via food.. sounds like a buyout for a new ending or is this for forgiveness? Either way, it's funny because these are the same people who said they won't buy from Bioware or DLC anymore and yet are donating their money to Bioware for.....cupcakes! lol oh lawd halp now you know why people don't take you serious

133 of each color.

Simple math really, 400/3=133

Kid, get out of here. Its not about the cupcakes, its about the message.
Ever heard of flashmobs? This is just like that.

It's still sending Retake's point across by the colors and letter labeling just in a humorous and creative way.

So what you're saying is, nofunallowed.jpg

I really think all the people like Henchxnarf and Dridengx who are coming in here for the sole sake of trying to make people feel bad over a good think is...sad. Just really sad. It takes a special kind of person to say "Those people protesting with cupcakes. I don't like them".

Anyway, it's not working. Even at maximum condescending nobody here is going to feel bad for doing this. It's the most delicious form of protest ever conceived.

How do you know it's the people who said they won't buy anything from Bioware anymore? I'll always buy Bioware's  products as a fan. It's  not everybody saying that, you know. :P

How about, it's nice to send a message to somebody you're at odds with that you don't hate them?

If I were BioWare, I would not eat these, just in case. Haha. But I still I think the message that is being sent is really great. Good job, guys.

Indeed.  People seem to forget that, yeah, BioWare screwed up with the ending, but that they're also the only ones who can actually fix it.  So to be completely antagonistic with them and proclaim our hatred of everything they stand for at every turn does nothing to help our cause.

I think this was a perfect way to say, "We like you guys, but we're not letting this go, and we'd like it dearly if you'd try your best to make it better."

If one person in a movement makes a statement about their intentions, then everybody in that same movement must have the exact same intentions.  I mean, duh.

Ohhh, I see. Cool. I should have thought about it some more before posting. My mistake.
