In other words they were playing the fans with prequel leads to continuation. The only prequel is for the new game coming out. I am also still wondering about the DVD release since none of the major sites have any info.

I'd like to understand why there were three ghost writers working on the script revisions a couple of months ago. And why another writer was already working on revisions back in January.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'm wondering if sources heard conflicting information between the BG videogame and the BG remake production scripting.

"Contrary to other reports, as far I know there was never a "debate" within the studio on this issue and certainly no script rewrites ordered with a prequel agenda in mind."
Based on bits and pieces of a conversation overheard while eavesdropping in a restaurant. Good source, lol.
I have to go with Michael and my gut instinct on this one. This denial is only coming up because of the accurate speculation that the Treklord poll was a ruse to get numbers. Why else does Captain James EVER post here, if not to plant misleading information? And no offense, Atlantiaviper, but your track record is hardly better.

Of course, it would be hard for any Pro-Moore person to do anything wrong, what with their Halos and Harps keeping them from doing anything Evil...
It must clearly be us Evil Old Guard who are responsible...
Geez...

It was a single individual who was responsible, and for lying rather than for "cyberterrorism" (a ridiculously melodramatic term in and of itself).

Yes Dennis
..But Milty, Vince, and the Rest of the Pro-Moore faction ran with that Cyber-Terrorism paint brush like Taggers on Crack, painting EVERY Old Guard, Anti-Moore person they could find with it.
You may find them "free from guilt" but I certainly don't.
Melodramatic it may be, but this insistance that the Pro-Moore types are as pure as the wind driven snow is getting a wee bit tiresome, when the facts clearly show different...
Has Milty Apologized for Accusing Sandy? NO! Has Vince? NO! Has ANY of those that went running about like lunatics about Cyber Terrorist "Retros" coming to get them Apologized for their Insane outbursts? NO!
Instead of doing anything to remove that "melodramatic" taint from the water, they've just clammed up, and said NADA. And a slew of Milty/Moore Apologists have spread out like locusts to defend their behavior, and worse, tried to make it seem like "no harm, no foul".
Sorry Dennis, but while Cyber Terrorism is a Bad thing, FALSELY Accusing Innocent people of it is worse, and THAT IS SOMETHING THE PRO-MOORE TYPES *DID*!

I didn't say that I did. Perhaps we should have someone flogged.

Didn't say that, either. I don't notice the bad eggs on either "side" of this controversy owning up to being troublemakers.

Is it, for sure? In any event, that's a finer distinction than I find it necessary to make, since neither is a Good Thing by any stretch.
Retros and neos are "falsely accusing" one another of something or another every ten minutes or so over on the Sci-Fi board. And let's stay clear on one thing: there's no evidence that anyone committed or actively planned any cyberterrorism in this instance -- it was just another round of lying and hysterical over-reaction.

So, when Falsely Accused
One must own up to guilt, even though there was No Crime Committed?
"Didn't say that, either. I don't notice the bad eggs on either "side" of this controversy owning up to being troublemakers."
Gee, that sounds like a novel new defence...
Let's see if I understand this right. I can accuse someone of something, with nothing but spun propoganda as my "evidence", and before I have to apologize, I get to wait for the person I falsely accuse of my bogus charge, to cop to being a "bad person" BEFORE I bother to apologize for Falsely Accusing them in the first place?
Only then, I can walk away and say "See they are Really Bad People, and they deserved to be accused anyway"?
Sorry Dennis, I disagree. Milty, Vince, and the Pro-Moore faction stepped on their privates with this one, and no ammount of spinning or "Well, the people who were accused have done other bad stuff so it's OK if they were accused" is going to wash.
Bottom line, sarcastic comments about someone being flogged aside, this instance was worse, not only because this time the ones who started the problem, also went as far as to call in the Authorities (According to Pure as the Wind Driven Snow Milty) and threatened Legal Action...
Trying to legitimize that by saying "Well, both sides have called names" is a bit much...

If so, let me state this again, as I've done before: I use one -- and only one -- handle. And it's my real name.
The one and only Michael

Michael: they were refering to the fake Michael Legresly(sp?) speader of production good news. Very vague production good news. some of his posts now have two-brain's name at the bottom: some sort of import error* from the old board. (If it's* anything else, I AM cancer man from the X-Files.)

Just jumping in here, the new SciFi Galactica board has a problem switching handles. A couple of posts I made got credited to other people. It looks like when someone replies to a post and they make their handle e-mailable, the name gets switched to someone else, most likely the name of the person who's post they are responding to.
Again, if you compare the original posts to the ones which were brought over to the new moderated board, you will see the real handles of who posted. This problem with the SciFi board is one of the reasons I don't like it. The other is that is seems to be designed to cut down on communication between the fans with the lengthy wait time for posts to appear. :colwar:
