[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;26345375]Better that than in the hands of a racist amoral terrorists.[/QUOTE] Fair enough.

Okay, seriously, I'm on page 25 of the ME Paint Adventure and I'm convinced that Lankist is (was) some sort of Biotic god.

[QUOTE=imadaman;26344109][sp]It quite clearly hacks Shepard itself, seeing as Shepards vision and movement are controlled[/sp] Also the text in quotes isn't mine, hence the quotes.[/QUOTE] The implications is that, if you keep the AI online, you'll have a piece of tech that's capable of [sp]not only controlling the Geth, but possibly hack into a Reaper.[/sp] Reading into it like that makes the decision to shut it down or keep it online a lot harder.

The BSN is filled with mostly good posters, but it's the few Renegade-Fanatics/Cerberus-loving that rule them.:v: All they need is someone to argue with them and all hell breaks loose. I am actually having a debate whether torturing and murdering children is morally good. :smith: Just my opinion ofcourse, I am closely following some subjects that they are discussing, like the 'Overlord hack'.

[QUOTE=Novangel;26345407][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLdhFVzqt4[/media] Sends a shiver down my spine each time :911:[/QUOTE] Exactly. Its such an epic track, used in a LOT of epic movies/games. And then i heard it in the trailer of this new Narnia movie :gonk:

[QUOTE=Dronaroid;26345402]Fair enough.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Also, the paragon meter is mostly friendly/diplomatic and militaristic/asshole in my opinion. But shooting Elnora the mercenary is the better option in a way.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;26346643]I really need a wallpaperized version of this, it's a pretty bitchin' image.[/QUOTE] Since it´s a comic cover, I don´t think there is no exact wallpaper.

Oh fuck I hope the Quarians don't get banned from Citadel Space... [quote]11/28/2010 - Eldfell-Ashland Ships Destroyed in Nubian Expanse “Eldfell-Ashland Energy has accused the Migrant Fleet of destroying a cruiser, three frigates, and six mining freighters in the Nubian Expanse over a mineral-rights dispute. The quarians denied all charges, saying that they last saw Eldfell-Ashland's ships retreating out of sensor range, presumably to refuel at their cruiser by the system's mass relay. Eldfell-Ashland spokesperson Yves Nevil responded: "Yesterday we lost contact with out ships out in the Expanse. Shortly afterward, we received a distress signal from the MSV Stanislaw reporting an 'alien attack.' We have very little doubt as to what happened here." Eldfell-Ashland officials are planning to go before the Council and ask that the Migrant Fleet be banned from Citadel space.” [/quote]

:ohdear: [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] Oh no...

[QUOTE=imadaman;26353386]Oh fuck I hope the Quarians don't get banned from Citadel Space...[/QUOTE] They won't. Not in a universe where corporations have the right to nuke planets for not allowing them to use iridium mines.

Apparently I spammed the shit out of this thread although I only ever seem to post once every 2-3 pages :v: Well I totally have no idea what the alien attack was....

By the way, the shit with Quarians and that company started yesterday [quote]11/27/2010 - Eldfell-Ashland Energy Stonewalls Quarian Conclave In Mining Dispute “Eldfell-Ashland Energy is refusing to meet with representatives from the Quarian Conclave as they clash over rights to rich veins of palladium discovered on several asteroids on the outskirts of the Nubian Expanse. "Eldfell-Ashland's sole contribution to the project was to appear with an armed frigate after we finished surveying, then demand that we vacate the unclaimed area," says Captain Ahlis'Laspar vas Nalotir. "We will continue mining until Eldfell-Ashland presents the Conclave with proof of ownership or speaks to us without hiding behind a gun sight. We would prefer both."” [/quote] In case you missed it.

I had the one explaining how the situation started yesterday. £5 says mercs or pirates.

Also, regarding Overlord, I do think that the following quote is the likely course of events that happened. [quote][sp]It wasn't necessarily a loss of will David had he used shep to help him kill the AI he knew killing it would also end his suffering but I think part of him also wanted suicide he may've thought it was impossible to separate the two of them. The part where the defense drone is kicking at the core you where suppose to shut down was used the same way Shep was except David couldn't control it right he got it into the room and was having it attack the core unit then you came in. He later uses Shep to repeat the action just on a better scale he hacks shep makes him leave the room shuts the door he gets you down to where he is to destroy the rest. He was using you he didn't give up control until you destroyed the AI.[/sp] [/quote] [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] 5€ it was the company that hired the mercs/pirates to do it.

Don´t know if it has been posted, but i don´t feel like reading 70 pages right now

Start up ME2, on the laptop on the right. Also [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cerberus_Daily_News]Here[/url].

Who the fuck cares about Citadel space, if they go and fight the Geth they'll basically be beating themselves against a brick wall and end up committing racial suicide, whilst heavily damaging geth numbers, causing the galaxy to lose the largest fleet and a fairly sizable chunk of another one, leaving us pretty much dead in the water when 40 sovereigns pop up out of darkspace.

Why would you fight the Geth though? They don't want to fight and Quarians attacking them would be bad for everyone. If they'd just get over their Frankenstein complex and make peace with the Geth then everyone would be happy.

Though they did kind of lost their home planet and all... but if they worked it out yeah I agree.

There were way more than 40 Old Machines there. Also there's no reason to fight the Geth, it's just that Quarians haven't gotten over their loss, and are mostly blind to reason. I'm glad that there's at least one person on the Admiralty board that knows what to do.

The Geth don't want Planets, they live more efficiently in space. The only reason they are even on the Quarian homeworld is because they are caretakers. If they at least talked to them about it then they'd easily get their own planet back.

[QUOTE=Novangel;26355176]Though they did kind of lost their home planet and all... but if they worked it out yeah I agree.[/QUOTE] They lost it because they started a war they [didn't know that they] couldn't win. [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Devodiere;26355204]The Geth don't want Planets, they live more efficiently in space. The only reason they are even on the Quarian homeworld is because they are caretakers. If they at least talked to them about it then they'd easily get their own planet back.[/QUOTE] Indeed, the Geth are taking care of the Quarian planets, working to recover them from the Morning War for the time when Quarians come back.

[QUOTE=imadaman;26355217]They lost it because they started a war they [didn't know that they] couldn't win.[/QUOTE] They lost it because they were paranoid fucks and instead of examining the possibility that they had created something amazing they tried to destroy it. In addition to talking to the Geth they have to do something to fix up their stupid attitude because although I have no problem with machines as slaves, if they are intelligent they deserve freedom and all the rights of any sentient being.

No, that's how the war started. But yeah, we're going to the same thing. I agree with you.

And they lost their planet in the war. They didn't think "could we wipe them out", they didn't think it to be anything more than culling animals. They lost the war because when their creation showed promise beyond what they intended, they decided to scrap it. If I had to choose a side in their war, I would easily choose the Geth.
