UPDATE 2:
Guys. I apoligize if have upset anyone. It's just that we've worked on this project for a month, and it's taken quite a effort to put this all together.
I also apoligize for some of my responses. I'm getting tired and a little cranky because of that.
We're listenting to ALL OF YOUR concerns, and Micheal and me are discussing the best course to take with this.
So sorry! I feel I've said some things I shouldn't have. I'll update you guys when I have further news. <3

UPDATE 1: POLL IS UP!!
http://social.biowar...55/polls/31874/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this poll we have three options. The only options I've been able to receive from billboard agencies in Edmonton (near BioWare HQ) and in the bay area of California (Near EA HQ).
The details for the various options in the poll, are outlined here
First! Bay Area, near EA. This is very time sensitive, as they have one billboard within a few miles of EA, and they haven't been able to sell the slot. It would start April 30th and end May 28th. The next available slot is in June, and is significantly further away. The normal price for this slot is 12,500 with materials, but since we're so close to the deadline, they were talked down to 9,500. This is not only a steal, but exactly what we want. If we miss this opportunity, the next slot (in june) would cost us the original 12,500. PICKING THIS OPTION DOES NOT RULE OUT DOING EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS - FOR TIME RESTRAINTS, PICKING THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS DOES RULE OUT THIS ONE[/b]
Second! Edmonton, they do billboard campaigns, and generally don't sell ad space for a single billboard, or "pick and choose" style, but they were willing to do a single billboard if we leased it for an entire year. This means that for the price of materials (600) we could change the graphic on the board at any time, so it could effectively act as a dialogue with bioware, and is an amazing idea. PICKING THIS OPTION MEANS SKIPPING THE EA CAMPAIGN[/b]
Third! Edmonton, but we do the city wide campaign. This would entail 17 billboards, mostly on heavily trafficked (not highway) roads. And the timeframe would be for 4 weeks. The material costs for this are significant, and it would cost 32,000 with materials. PICKING THIS OPTION MEANS SKIPPING THE EA CAMPAIGN[/b]
This is a dialogue, so please comment below if there are any questions regarding, or if you simply have something to say.
This poll will close in 12 hours! So that we have an answer for them tomorrow morning.
NOTE: THE EA AREA BILLBOARD AGENCY CAN HOLD OUR ORDER FOR 72 HOURS STARTING TOMORROW MORNING. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE LOSE IT AT THAT TIME, BUT IT DOES MEAN ANOTHER COMPANY... -COUGH- COULD BUY IT OUT FROM UNDER US AT THAT TIME. IF WE DECIDE TO GO FOR THE AREA AROUND EA, IT WOULD BE PRUDENT IF WE COULD RAISE THE MONEY IN THAT TIME. THE TIME CONSTRAINTS ON THE OTHERS ARE NOT NEAR AS GREAT, AND WE COULD FOCUS ON HAVING THE MONEY RAISED BY MID MAY.
PROPOSED BILLBOARD DESIGN:
(MIGHT be subject to chance with the addition of "paid by future dlc customers in the bottom lefthand corner")
BILLBOARD LOCATION (IF EA OPTION IS CHOSEN):

THANKS! AND REMEMBER TO HOLD THE LINE![smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/cool.png[/smilie]
PS: For those who are curious, YES we have spoken with the various advertisting agencies regarding these billboards. This is not some fantasy/dream. We have the costs, the location, and now we need your help as well. HELP SPREAD THIS AS FAR AND WIDE AS YOU CAN. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
