I'll be surprised and dissapointed if eight months from now, the Miranda fan thread won't have been shut down multiple times due to the sheer size of it.MASSEFFECTfanforlife101 wrote...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I just realized something!
The first " What are you currently listening to?" was locked because it was opened for 1 year. Stanley Woo said, "This thread has hit 1 year. Start it over, folks. End of line."
This thread started 4 months ago. Only 8 months left and then it's gone.

The asari are the only 100% natural biotic race in the whole galaxy. Biotic superiority IS asari superiority.

Influentiate. You should have used plain old 'influence'.MisterJB wrote...
I made up a word? It's possible, english is not my first language. Which one?
Miranda has already indicated that a lot of people join Cerberus due to xenophobia. People like Kai Leng are exactly that, xenophobic in the extreme. Cerberus' methods pretty much invalidates any gains it may make for humanity because they turn the other species against humanity. Belligerance is not a position from which to influence galactic policy except on the path of domination. It certainly wasn't Cerberus that helped secure humanity a seat on the Council in less than hlaf a century.It's not xenophobia. It's being a nationalist, it just so happens that the rival nations are other races.
No one suggested destroying the aliens or cut all trade contracts with them. But humanity should strive towards being the most advanced race militarily, culturally and economically. Cerberus exists to facilitate this and that's how it should remain.
Nowhere does the dossier say what her political signigicance or the level of her following was. It is one sentence about a criminal act perpetrated by a terrorist group on a citizen of an allied species. Her position is not indicative of asari opinion as a species and even if she had been gathering followers it did not merit what was done. It was an inexcusable assault and did nothing to help humanity in the slightest.Eraza was not a random asari, she was an important political figure that was gathering followers. She does not define the asari race but she proves that it should be watched as closely as any other.

How? I tried tweeting to @masseffect once, but none of my tweets were seen. And I di not see the tweeted questions from other people. Was I in the wrong section?

Xenophobes have their uses and long as they can follow orders. It's not what Cerberus stands for, especially not if Miranda assumed leadership, and that's what matters.Athayniel wrote...

And that's why it's very important that Cerberus remains free of government oversight. Holding humanity accountable for their actions will then be unfair.Cerberus' methods pretty much invalidates any gains it may make for humanity because they turn the other species against humanity.

And much good that did us.It certainly wasn't Cerberus that helped secure humanity a seat on the Council in less than hlaf a century.
That Cerberus chose to deal with her while they can ignore politicians like Joram Talid is telling.Nowhere does the dossier say what her political signigicance or the level of her following was.

Wait, sorry, wrong question. Do you hate the Paragon side because of personality or external circumstances?jtav wrote...
Personality. She ticks a lot of boxes for things I like in a villain, too. It would thrill me if she were still with Cerberus of her own will and working against Shepard. Since I won't get that, I want Cerberus reformed under her leadership. Meet the new boss, more capable but just as ruthless as the old boss.

Humanity will be held accountable. Cerberus is a pro-human terrorist organisation. Notice we hear nothing about any comparable groups from the other races, there is no pro-asari terrorist group experimenting on salaraians and turians. Frankly humanity is lucky races like the asari, who take the long view thanks to their lifespan, exist because I don't see the turians putting up with that crap for very long if they weren't being couciled to patience. As it is I believe the other races are looking to the Alliance to do something about Cerberus, treating it as an internal matter for now.MisterJB wrote...

Also, we certainly don't know enough to say that bad rep invalidates what Cerberus does. We would have to know exactly how much humanity gained thanks to Cerberus and then we'd have to compare it with what the bad rep cost us. And, ofc, we'd also have to take into consideration if being associated with the Council is truly the best option.
Much good it did Shepard you mean. We don't know how much effect it has on humanity as a whole since it's only been two years, but humanity has a stake in the process now. Humanity is helping to shape the decisions and Cerberus was frankly just a hindrance.And much good that did us.It certainly wasn't Cerberus that helped secure humanity a seat on the Council in less than hlaf a century.
Well he wouldn't proveide a convenient and effective way to test their chemical weapon, and I can easily imagine TIM knowing about Thane's son. I can imagine TIM hiring Kolyat through Kelham. It isn't an unlikely scenario.That Cerberus chose to deal with her while they can ignore politicians like Joram Talid is telling.Nowhere does the dossier say what her political signigicance or the level of her following was.
That entire sentence smells of "if". If that's your criteria for "threat to the entire galaxy" then why isn't Cerberus cracking down on itself? Its activities could easily lead to a war between the Coucil races and humanity. Oh right... they'd probably welcome such a destructive war...It is one sentence about a criminal act perpetrated by a terrorist group on a citizen of an allied species. Her position is not indicative of asari opinion as a species and even if she had been gathering followers it did not merit what was done. It was an inexcusable assault and did nothing to help humanity in the slightest.
That matriarch was trying to turn the most powerful race in the galaxy against non-biotics which is the majority of mankind. Let's say that she became the asari representative on the Council. What then?
Cerberus eliminated a threat to the entire galaxy.

To step away from the all consuming ethics of Cerberus discussion - if Miranda does not end up running Cerberus post ME3 what else would be a good use of her abilities or would people like to see her doing?
Spectre?
ONI?
Human Councillor - that would be entertaining if incredibly unlikely
Research institute?
As I said personally I favour setting up a shadow government but I'm sure other people have other ideas....
Ideas around Miranda's genetic engineering would be very interesting - especially if it could be applied on a larger scale - couple it with ideas developed during Lazarus and life for the stagnant Council races gets significantly more exciting.

Okay so it's super-early in the morning, I'm writing a paper, and I'm just overtired enough to post this:
http://desmond.image....png&res=medium
The story behind this: Someone was fussing that Miranda had really masculine facial features. Curious, I decided to see what happened if I have her exaggeratedly feminine features (left image). But I decided that was way too easy, so I decided to exaggerate her masculine features as well. Hence, the image on the right. I shall call him... Mirmanda. Central image is the original obviously.
I regret nothing!
Same. The way it is now, any specific conversation is lost forever in a character's respective thread (read: shrine). And locking anything less-than-general just for it to be redirected to aIeldra2 wrote...
Actually I don't like the way characters must be discussed around here because of the forum structure. I'd rather have a subforum for every character and a meaningful search function, so that we can have threads that don't vanish down the list within a few days.
Miranda has a curious love/hate relationship with her genetic enhancements. She appreciates them professionally and they give her more confidence to do her job while she has existential problems with them at the same time. Which is why I think these problems are mostly related to her upbringing - had her father treated her as a loved daughter, she'd be able to see that whatever his motivations might have been, the results are very much desirable. Whatever her genetic enhancements are, it's still she who achieves anything with them or not, and because of that she can credit for her achievements just as she must take responsibility for her failures.paul165 wrote...

character's support thread isn't really promoting serious or continued
discussion. I'd venture to say that these characters deserve to be and could be talked about in more than one thread, but what do I know.
Alas, every support thread is in some combination
- Overwhelming
- Cliquish
- Thought-policed.
