Interesting. The troll is complaining about us not refuting its points even though we all have. Very interesting.
I even put up links of cutscenes to prove my point.

Point form time, because paragraphs are too big for this sourpuss to read.
- 2,400 lives < 10,000 lives (lost depending on which you pick).
- Destroying the Geth fleet will prevent them from bothering the Alliance when plinking away at Sovereign, don't think of this as "just saving the Council", think tactically!
- 7 cruisers are lost to the Geth ships. If 50 Alliance cruisers cannot even touch Sovereign, 43 cruisers can't either.
- The Geth are focussing on the Ascension, when making the decision, you could assume that the Geth wouldn't even be able to respond to the Arcturus fleet.
- The Destiny Ascension could fire off 40 kiloton slugs at Sovereign from long distance. Don't even say "DANGER TO OUR SHIPS!" because shockwaves don't and can't happen in space, idiot.
- Species will come to respect us if we sacrifice for the greater good. Respect = friends = trade/military partners.
Did you get that? Did you?
Smashing Paragons is just sideskirting the discussion at hand. Pay attention.
LA LA LA LALLLLLLLLALL I ALREADY ANSWERED THESE POINTS.
None of this "information" was presented during the decision.
Shall I bold this?
Keep on trucking though Paragons.

This seems extremely unlikely to me. The primary objective of the Geth fleet is to support Sovereign. And considering the Ascension was nearly out of the fight, it is more than likely that the Geth would move to engage any ships that were going to fire at Sovereign.Zakatak757 wrote...
- As I already mentioned, a soldier could assume that the Geth would be too focussed on the Ascension to even dent the Arcturus fleet.

What the hell are you talking about? I already debunk the "well 10000 people, well geth attack, well this and that, and this and that and blah blah"
That information was NOT present during the decision. so that is not a good argument for why you choose that option.
The only good argument I've seen is "alien harmony" crap. and to that I say, we just saved the Galaxy, that should've been enough.
But Bioware is too busy spinning plotholes and Renegade punishments.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were the first to use the "post decision reasons" as to which was the better decisions.
Fine, let's play "fairly".
- Shepard already knew 10,000 lives were onboard the Ascension, as shown in dialog on the Citadel.
- A proper soldier would think beyond "save or don't them? Hmmm..." killing off those Geth prevents them from attacking Alliance ships.
- Sovereign managed to punch through a massive fleet of cruisers, including the most powerful Dreadnought ever built. My Tiger tank analogy still holds weight.
- As I already mentioned, a soldier could assume that the Geth would be too focussed on the Ascension to even dent the Arcturus fleet.
- About 10 other arguments you wouldn't read are implied here

-A "proper" soldier focuses on the main threat, not some "geth" inflitrating space.
-No your tiger tank analogy does not hold weight.
-???? what argument is this?
-yeah yeah, but you can't list them, can you.
I already won this debate. It's so obvious.

Now? Now you want my help? Fine. I'll help you. I'll help you because its my job. I'll help you because it will save the lives of people who don't deserve to die for your arrogance. But mostly, I'll help you because it's the right thing to do. But when this is over, I'm going to tell everyone that I warned you, that you had three years to prepare, and that you did nothing. And when they come, howling for your blood, I'm going to do exactly what you did. Nothing.
What wait where was that posted? I missed it, and it's awesome.

So a proper soldier ignores other threats in between himself and the objective? Threats that have the means to prevent him from accomplishing that objective?-A "proper" soldier focuses on the main threat, not some "geth" inflitrating space.

I'd guess because it's fun to poke the troll.
Even if the Council consists of morons (big shock, they're politicians), they still have power over other species that can be utilized in the future to help Shepard.
Plus, as many other have pointed out, wiping out the geth first so they won't bother anyone anymore seems like a better plan than to simply just ignore them and let them do whatever they want.

If at that point you weren't listening to Joker, or if you didn't know what the Destiny Ascension was, then ok. With your lack of knowledge I can see why you made the inferior choice.

What is going on here.
It's like theres a black hole between you and logical thinking. I will slow down this further.
I lamented on how stupid the Paragon decision was;
because
A. Galaxy more important.
B. Human lives
C. Council members are dicks
D. Dicks that are easily replaceable
you guys proceeded to argue these points by going
10000 lives!!!!!!!!! a fact we did not know until Mass Effect 2.
GETH THREAT! I don't even get this argument but still debunked.
Where are all these mythical arguments that I'm ignoring or not debating?
Please show me.

Just some food for thought: The Destiny Ascension is mentioned in the (unskippable, mind you) cutscene when you first arrive at the Citadel. If Zeely doesn't know what that is when it's decision time, then he evidently has a malfunctioning memory, in addition to his malfunctioning frontal lobe.
