I usually only take it for Anderson's sake. The Council might be useless, but I'm not ready to cut ties to Anderson and the Alliance.

[DaVanguard]

accepted the status

[NanQuan]

Like a lot of people said, I didn't see a point in burning bridges. I'm sick of the council and really ticked off, but who knows, maybe they'll come through in the end. And if they don't, then I can get revenge later.

Even if the Council gives you zero support, material or otherwise, if they're giving you immune from all legal systems, license to kill anyone who looks at you wrong Spectre status, I say take it and never look back.

Even if you are in the Terminus systems most of the time, without the legal authority, who knows when being able to murder people with no reprisal comes in handy.

[lovgreno]

No need to burn bridges. You may think what you wan't about the Council and their politics but I would rather have them supporting Shepard than making things harder for him/her.

[khevan]

As a staunch paragade, I have...issues...with certain actions by the Council. This isn't the forum to air those concerns, as I don't want this topic going widely off-topic. I am sooooooo tempted to tell the Council where to shove that particular title, but the realist in me simply cannot deny that having the title of Spectre could be much more useful than not having it.



Also, I may not like the Council, I may think they're a bunch of retarded idiots who refuse to see what's patently in front of their noses, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather have the Council on my side in the fight against the Reapers. Even though they're currently doing nothing about the Reapers, that could change, and if it does, I'd want to be able to influence what the Council is doing. I can't do that if I indulge in my whims and tell 'em to shove it.



Long story short: As others have said, no need to burn bridges, even if I'm not sure the Council is worth it.

Why would you possibly burn such a potentially important bridge?

The bridges I burn light the way.

I accepted reactivation my status and this whole situation got me little confused.

From one point Council threats me with death sentence for working with cerberus but then sudden 180 degree switch and again Asari Councilor comes up with idea of reactivation Spectre status...



If they treat cerberus as so hated enemy as they claim then how she can even consider to propose to gives back license to kill to someone who (according to timmy's engineered leaks) willingly work with enemy of the Council...



Now i starting to wonder if LoTSB won't have bigger impact at overall story as we expected and actually turn on another 180 degree "relationship" with Council when comes to Reapers ESPECIALLY in situation of breaking ties with timmy in C-Base...

[Tigerking]

I took the status. As meaningless as it is, there's no point in making unnecessary enemies, and it would make things worse for Anderson. But really, my Shepard owes the Council nothing at this point.

[Ulathar]

I took the status as it sure has its benifits. I had some nice dialog in the Thane loyalty mission because of it and I think it'll come in handy later on in the story.



Turning them down in a "rude" way and telling Udina about is also quite funny I might add, though ;-)

[IMethos]

Paragon playthough took it "honored", why? maximum paragon points

Renegade playthrough "shove it", why? want to see what happends in ME3



Damn you bioware for making choices so one-sided and one dimensional...

[Xilizhra]

I took it unhesitatingly. I respect the Council as an organization, even if the incumbents have issues with the Reapers. They seem fine leaders otherwise.

[klossen4]

in my Renegade playthrough "shove it" Udina was mad heh.

At least until you're across the river.

I accepted the Spectre status mainly because having it doesn't change anything.  This isn't a leash the Council is trying to control you with (and if it is, it is the longest leash in the history of leashes) it's essentially them giving tacit approval of anything you do.  It's like I'm a kid who has every intention of smashing windows and the mayor has just given me a bat and told me to have fun.

Always accepted where possible.



If you let the Council die in ME1, you don't even get offered reinstatement. In that respect, the original Citadel Council actually respects Shepard more; the new human-led/human-formed Council couldn't even be bothered to meet Shepard who made it possible for them to take control. As bad as the Citadel Council were/are, one with Udina playing a large role is even worse.



At least that's how it felt to me.

[ArcanistLibram]

I'm not giving up a license to act above the law just because of Shepard's pride.

[Marzillius]

I chose to get reinstated as my canon Shepard.

I really don't get why so many people don't like the Council. If you went to the British Parliament and started talking about massive starships that want to harvest the galaxy, without any concrete evidence, do you think they would believe you? The Council's stance towards you is perfectly fine (not the Turian Councilor though, he could try acting less ****ish) and is no reason to hate them, or commit indirect murder on them.

You can do so without their permission, quite well if I may say so.

[raist747]

Like others stated, no need to burn bridges to something that may be exploited later. I see it as another tool in the arsenal.

Personal experience with working a Government job showed me that the Government world is a small world, and its better to tolerate someone so you can manipulate them rather later than telling them to shove it, and finding out you have some incredible hoops to jump though by yourself.

I didnt need to reject the title I let them go extinct. Human council and Cerberus using Collector base tech for me please. Spectres are just another outdated institution my Shep will have to break up on Humanitys rise to Galactic Dominance.

[krimesh]

I take it. No hesitation. In the end, what would the council do if they'd believe Shepard? They'd send Shep to investigate. By offering Spectre-status they do that.

Anthropocentrist.

[philiposophy]

I accept it. What's the point in declining? It gives you legal immunity for just about anything in Council space. Which, considering what Shepard's line of work is, could be very handy.



Also, it probably helps humanity. Getting a human in the Spectres was a big deal for the Alliance. If that human is no longer a Spectre, that's going to look bad and give the impression that humanity isn't ready for such a big role in galactic politics.

My main Paragon Shepard accepted it, but I never chose the "I'm honored." option with any of them.

Same here.

[BurningArmor]

I took the reinstatement to Spectre.

If for no other reason, just to avoid a few unnecessary fire fights with security while in Citadel space.  The red shirts might be useful as ground troops some day.

I feel Shepard is supposed to be uniting the galaxy against the reapers.  Alienating the Council won't help that.
I can only hope the Council isn't caught by surprise when the Reapers do finally escape from Dark Space.  Whether that escape comes through Citadel, or maybe Haedron's (sp?) Star, the time is coming where people will have to work together or die.

Alot of the posturing by the Council at the meeting is an attempt to get a handle on where Shepard's head is at.  To draw Shepard out, or get a reaction, the Council made the strong statements about treason.  The council is measuring Shepard's belief in his mission.  I think they realize someone needs to find out why the colonies are disappearing, and that Shepard has a history of being right. 

But working for terrorists is extreme even if Spectre operational rules allow for it. 

The Council is also trying to figure out if Shepard believes in the Cerberus cause or is this a move by a spectre to get his job done.  The council fears Cerberus with their history of murder and mayhem.  Keeping the spectre status even if it does not get him any direct support might be viewed as an assurance that he can still be reasoned with even if his views are not politically safe right now.
