That is a bit of a weak arguement and could be applied to any species "ZOMG a Quarion with a Human! they trying to make us weak and add to their fleet!" [/quote]
Completely different cases. The quarians can't reproduce with other species and their culture don't incentivate them to do so.
Tough I would resent any human who picked the Migrant Fleet over Earth.
[quote]Also it seems you are implying they can produce anytime they want. that is not true, their partner has to be alive in order to bond with and take genetic material.
[/quote]
They don't actually take any genetic material from the father. That's a myth.
And while what you said is true, as asari live longer, they can have more partners.
In general, anyway.
Also I am pretty sure we are still out producing them since it has been established we are the fastest growing out of the species. If your theory was correct then why are they not the fastest growing?"[/quote]
Different cultures. Asari are descibed as very conservative, willing to wait centuries for a plan to come to fruition, while humans are abnormally ambitious and relentless in the pursuit of our goals. Thus, we are developing much faster than any other species
[quote]Lets put numbers to that. From what we know Asari usually have one child per partner, and lets make that 1 child ever 50 years to account for breakups/divorce/salarian. that would be 20 childeren over 1000 years. Now lets look at the humans, one couple producing the average 2 kids at the average age of a parent ~30. and lets say those kids go off and have 2 kids of their own. That is ~66 humans produced over the same time period. Pretty sure they are not 'weakining' us by taking one out of the equation.
[/quote]
First, on what basis do you claim that asari only have one child per mate. For example, that turian/asari couple in ME3 has twins.
Second, you did not take into account that the asari children will reach maturity and have her own children.
[quote]And no we did not think there were other races out there after we found the archives. If you go back and read the first book Revalation, it was clear they believed there we no other species left. The reasoning was that the odds against life poping up somewhere else was so low it was presumed that the protheans and us were the only species that 'made it' as it were. Also if we were so sure there were other races out there, then why were we so shocked to run into the taurians and end up in the first contact war?[/quote]
I will refrain from commenting on this because I do not remember exactly the mindset of the first chapter. It could be you are right.
I do remember, however, that Anderson asked if the attackers were prothean. Thus, it seems to me that the Alliance did not discard the possibility they were still out there.
[quote]Also I am pretty sure we did not share the news willingly. Once again if you go back and read Ascension we were cought red handed doing illegal AI research and had to agree to alot of regulations. Part of the agreement is that we had to be monitored in certain areas to ensure we would not break citidel law again. While I am sure the trade sactions lifted by the time ME1 happens, I am sure the monitoring is still ongoing. Even if it was not I do not think humanity would take the risk of getting cought again considering last time it hurt us.
[/quote]
This is not true actually. The Council tried to place a leash on humanity like you said but our embassador threatened with war and they backed off.
Of course, the Council spies on everyone but they couldn't monitor the Alliance legally.
If I remember correctly, Anderson's justification in ME1 was that sharing the info on the Prothean Beacon served to ease our relations with them. Point of the matter: Humanity shared their Prothean Beacon while the asari hid theirs.

1) Wow...not really sure how to respond to that part. If a human fell in love for an alien and not another human I really do not see that as 'picking X over Earth'. I am just going to ignore that and just say that Quarions and humans are described as being very simular in game and in the books. Tali as a possible LI seems to indicate they can fall for others and that might be why some never come back to the fleet
2 - 4) Yes, they did have twins, but so can humans. I was not doing a deep hardcore mathmatical study, so things like twin rates were not accounted for. You are right that I did not account for the offsprings birth, but I was not accounting for what the average age of when an asari starts having childern. My figures start it as them starting a child at age 50, which honestly is problebly unrealistic for the asari since even at 100 they are seen as children. It is more likely the average age for them is 350 at the matron stage since that is when they want to start a faimly. The way I figured they have one child per partner is becuase so far, other the the twins, thats what we hace seen and heard. It they do have bigger faimlies I have not seen it in the games, books, or codecs.
For the sake of arguement let us say it is two children per partner like it is with humans, and take in all the factors into account. That still has humans producing faster than Asari.
Also if your wondering where I am getting the average age of 350:
The Matron[/b]
stage of life begins around the age of 350, though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently. This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise children. 5) Skipping this since I re-read that section. It was heavily implied but still fairly debatable so I am droping that arguement
6) No, we did not get out of sanctions completely. We got less severe sanctions after talking to the council. The first option the council wanted was COMPELTE over site and even wanted to view all files in the fleet. We were able to get it knocked down so only research stations and the like had to be monitored. But as I said earlier, even if they lifted by the time ME1 happens then it still made people think twice of hiding the beacon. If we were willing to hide AI research then I am sure we would hide a beacan also. We either gave it up becuase we would be cought or as you said to ease relations of the incident
