Hey guys, been a long time (bit of a running gag there as the vets well know).
Just thought I'd pop in for this thread considering my rather... erm, close affiliation with the movement to get this trainwreck removed form canon. Yeah, I realize how nerdy it all sounds and I'm perfectly fine with that.
Anyway, as proof, here's the 11k+ topic I started that got fans together to craft that Google document:

You'll notice it just recently got locked. Why? Well because BioWare likes to minimalize sales loss, really, but more to-the-point, because we just received an official response:

So yeah, there you have it. I'm really proud to have played such a big part in this, but make no mistake: it was entirely a collaborative effort across dozens of fans and also the wiki base -- damn, they were pissed. You know how they can be. Trying to fit "Deception" into the canon is like... it's like... it's like impossible, okay man?
Pretty glad to see that we kinda-sorta won, too. I'd rather the whole thing be forgotten, but seeing them scramble for an extensive rewrite is pretty gratifying.
