bumping, something to consider and also to remind Bioware actions speak louder than words.

2. We aren't going away. It should be made clear that fifty five thousand people will not simply get up and leave the line.


I think it is more like 63000+ people right now, judging by polls. Anyway, great post, OP.

I wonder if they will use words "artistic integrity" at PAX. It's like it became a catchphrase for BioWare, pro-ending journalists and players.

Great post. Don't forget to stay polite, guys!

My fear is that there will be a troll who is purposely rude to the panelists just to give us all a bad name :(.


Now, I did say, 'subtle' didn't I?  Nothing is more subtle than rallying the opposition towards looking negative. ^.~  Our own government does it at protests, it's good for business too. ;)

Everyone attending should wear either a blue, green or red t-shirt.

If that does happen, you can't let it get to you. Remain polite, and calmly explain how that person is not speaking for the rest of you. If you let the trolls (or plants if the worst is to happen, though I doubt Bioware/EA would risk that) irritate you and get you angry, you risk being a detriment to the cause yourself.

Wishing everyone who's going to PAX good luck. Remain civil, and hold the line. :)

No I think they are going to take some swipes at the movement and they are going to trod out the reviews they paid for as proof that we are a small number of people that don't matter and say that the extended endings are all we are getting.  IF we don't cavbe to that we will win if we do we will lose.  Bioware knows that they have chance at PAX to turn things around get us to cave so they are going to do everything they can to do just that. Please don't fall for it just keep holding the line even after PAX.


I fully expect them to have a few paid people in the audiance to say bad things about consumers concerned about the ropey ending..  to make it seem like we are a minority while we are actually speaking for the majority.

You have to love the person who thinks of that. "lets spend money to make our customers not buy anything."  EPIC FAIL!

Great post, OP. And for anyone going to PAX, good luck and hold the line. (: Here's hoping someone sneaks a camera in or at least gives us the lowdown on the forums after they get back. c:

That is in fact very sound advice.  I don't doubt anything corporations can do to remove issues with income at all, and I also can see just plain trolls, and obsessed rage period, don't go in with all sorts of expectations but expect the worst. 

However, keep this forum goers(ViolentSleep) posts of advice the common theme, and don't get too discouraged no matter what the outcome is. 

The point is you are the voices.  Remember, it's not just your images that matter, but what you stand for.  This includes actually being heard and possibly having some 'effect', and this advice is the best way to have the best response, period.

No words from Casey for so long, guess Mike is/will be new producer for mass effect.

Yes, ask the hard questions, yes tell them how you feel. HOWEVER, remain polite and civil. We won't get what we want by being an angry mob.

make us proud guys, don't be afraid to ask why the ending is so terrible and why the rest of the game is actually good. (hint: ask if the rest of the writers were involved in the ending)


Also compliment the musical score, but that's all.

Gamble is going. Mr. Hudson will not be. I felt I should warn everyone beforehand.
