Joker: So, how do you like Geth Consensus?
Shepard: Well, it was... strange. Never had such feelings before.
Joker: Was?
Shepard: Heh?
Joker: Are you really sure you actually quitted the Consensus?
Shepard: Of course I'm sure! I just passed through that...
Joker: ...Through what?
Shepard: Err...
Joker: Commander, did you press "Exit" button?
Shepard: "Exit" bu... LEGION! WHERE IS EXIT BUTTON?
Legion: We don't use buttons, Shepard Commander, they are constructional weakness...
Shepard: O_o... N... N... NNN... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Epilogue: Dear "IT"ers. Please, try to disprove this. And when you will manage to do so, I will use exactly the same arguments to disprove your own theory.

Thanks in advance Posted Image


I'll counter your argument as soon as you offer one. Right now you have a suggestion without any backing. List your evidence that supports the idea, then we can debate whether the evidence is valid or not. 

This thread isn't that serious.

Actually there is a lot of truth in your idea. And it ADDS to IT :)
I even think that Geth consensus level was made specially for us to see that we can enter AI with our mind. It's like another hint about the mental battle which might be happening in the end :)


But can't actually exit, becouse some particular robots don't have any idea about UI's usability... Someone please help Shepard to find the "Exit" button :)

...Yes, everything after Consensus mission didn't really happen.

It happened :) The geth consensus was just a hint, and example from bioware to show what is possible with AI. And reapers ARE AI :)

The thread is meant to 'hold a mirror up' to IT. IT has literally 1,000s of pages of posts of evidence, conjecture and suggestion, but the OP is saying that their single post fan-fiction is exactly the same as IT. 

My point is that no, it isn't. The comparisan is invalid because IT has had a case made for it, whether you agree with that case or not.

Ok, so:

Thanks a lot. Keep going Posted Image

Pure 100% speculation proves nothing. there is no justification for this theory and the burden of proof lies on YOU! You can't turn around and say disprove me, that's not how logic works.

IT theorists have at least provided circumstancial evidence to back up their speculations. You have provided absolutely none.

There's no point in even replying to a thread which is based on making events up.



A nice counter-argument that can be used against "IT"ers absolutely the same way. Thanks :)

You know, the bit where ITers have circumstantial evidence to support some of their claims.

You have none.

So.. where in the game does this conversation occur?

Edit: after bothering to read a bit the thread unravelled as I predicted.

4/10 OP.

Is spiderman illegal now or something?

2ND edit: OP, check out my thread where I try to explain synthesis using... wait for it.... In game lore.

You really looking in the mirror here, Grimwick. This is exactly what most anti"IT"ers think about the "IT". "IT"ers literally have no evidence at all.

I'm anti-IT but I do not dispute the fact that some circumstantial evidence exists.

Go onto the IT page and look through the masses of speculated evidence. A lot of it is irrelevant and further speculative guesswork. Some of it however is cirumcstantial support.

That statement is just incorrect.

And if this entire post is simply to spoof IT then I have no idea why it exists. There are other threads which are anti-IT just post your lunacy (no offense intended) in those.

My opinion is the removal of choices consisting of either enslaving the Reapers or forcibly turning everyone into cyborgs preserves everything I love about the ME trilogy, but I respect your opinion as well.


By the way, you should explain this to some "IT"ers. Because somehow they think otherwise, and even trying to prove me that you didn't suggest the removal at all.



We have differeing opinions, you know. I for one don't view synthesis or control as critical msiion failures. I'd like there to be paragon and renegade interrupts in between so that an indoctrinated Shepard still can save the galaxy.



Could you possibly re-read this, and try not to laugh yourself into OBLIVION?

What I meant was that if Shepard ends up being indoctrinated, s/he can still save the galaxy by meeting the requirements, like saving the rachni queen or saving Eve, and through a series of renegade/paragon interrupts.

All that "IT"ers really have is some funny "proofs" like "dream-plant" asset name, and other similar things. I can't take that more seriously than my OP in this thread.

...I really respect "IT"ers opinion. But I respect it only as a parody on the endings, nothing more.

How can you be so sure?

...Or how can you be so sure that Shepard woke up at all after the beacon hit her in ME1?

...Or maybe you are just dreaming right now, and ME3 was not even released yet? How can you disprove that?

Don't you feel that you are trapped inside your own illusions?
