At a site called Hold The Line.com?

I'm actually surprised it's not 80/20 or more in favor of IT being real there.

If 2/3 of HoldTheLine.com is all that feels IT is real, I wonder about the percentages elsewhere. HTL seems to be a site dedicated to those that don't like the current ending. I would have guessed that HTL being what it is would have skewed the results far greater. Maybe IT is actually less popular than I thought.


Read some of the responses to the thread.

A lot of the "No" votes say they wish IT was true. They just don't believe it was intended.

I read just fine. It was my impression that more people believe it was real from the fervent defense of it around here.

The questions wasn't about if they felt if they felt IT was intended. Perhaps, some people didn't read the question carefully, then.

Even still, many here seem to believe they had an intention of leading up to an indoctrination battle.

I don't believe IT is or ever was real. (I would be ecstatic to eat my words of doubt if it proved true, however.)

Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate anything; just sounded like you may have just glanced at the poll results.

I would say a lot of the HTL forumgoers are pretty jaded and think IT gives Bioware too much credit, thus you'd probably see more IT support here than there.

I just got home from work but it appears to be the same as when I first read it...
Could be wrong; not sure if it timestamps Edits

Is it really Priestly though? Or is it a troll?


Why can't it be both? He is evil after all.

Eh as far as I'm concerned it's an attempt to make sense of the nonsensical. It does so in a very creative way, and I'm impressed at the amount of thought that went into it. But it still doesn't answer things to my satisfaction.

But to its credit it does answer questions at least as well as teh ending we did get...


That's the great part about the Theory....it gives Bioware a chance to make sense of things, because it basically means the end wasn't the "end"

Well, script is already written anyway, so I don't really see the point in asking this. For more speculations?


I would guess to see how well they delivered the message they wanted us to receive.

I bet alot of 'yes' votes aren't because people believe Shep is indoctrinated, case closed, but an outlet to say this reality ending sucks. Anything but this.

I think they should also have this same poll here on the "OFFICIAL FORUMS"

The great part about it is it means Bioware managed to indoctrinate players...
The fanbase is split in two and people are arguing in favor of things the Reapers brainwash people into believing...

We are experiencing the events of a cycle here...
It allows the players to go through what Shepard does on a level I can't say has been achieved before...

There is way too much hate here. Besides there is a good chance he was interested in finding out this information from that sub-group of fans and not the whole BSN.

I believe most of us are disgruntled fans or else we would not be here day after day!
I am a member of the BSN, HTL and Facebook page.
I am not evil and I don't believe I am stupid.......lol.
If you go over to HTL now as I did, Mr. Priestly original post that started his thread is the same, if he edited it it would show on the bottom of his post along with the time and reason.
I also would like to know his reasons for reaching out to HTL, why BioWare ME3 mods are no longer moderating threads on the BSN?
The only for certain is............Lots of speculation for everyone..........

I like the idea of IT, and will be stunned if they go through with it.

Not only that, but almost all of the people who remain active on sites like HTL and Retake are the people who are still "holding the line" for completely changed endings, like omitting Star Child and whatnot completely (which they're delusional if they ever thought that was actually going to happen; some people legitimately liked the ending), so they know that if they go with IT, the endings aren't going to change, because they're already set up perfectly for IT.

A lot of people stopped being active once they announced the EC, because let's face it, we're not going to get more than that, and some people are rational and willing to wait for EC to come out before sending death threats to Bioware's HQ. On the same coin, the poll would be skewed if it were on BSN as well, only the people voting "no" would be much more marginal. We have a few IT polls that are in the 80-90% range in favor of IT already, so that's probably another reason they aren't asking it here. We've already got the data. Over 2/3 in favor is a pretty huge majority anyway -- it's over twice as many in favor as opposed to against.

I would think it is going to remain that way until people calm down.
