 Hey,



So we know how the Geth rebeled against the Quarians.

Why didn't the Quarians outfit each Geth unit with a kill switch?

I mean, even in todays world kill switchs are quite commonly used for various Military purposes.

If the Quarians had actually stopped to think about it, they would have outfitted the Geth with Kill Switches. 

Would have saved the entire galaxy some real trouble

[Taboo]

Yes. They are Grade A dumb asses.

If it was a remote signal, the geth could just disable whatever equipment they used to receive it. Couldn't they?

[justafan]

They probably did. IIRC, EDI had a kill switch as well for all the good it did the Alliance on Luna and Cerberus after them.  The Morning War basically started because the Geth were rejecting the kill-switch.  With free-will comes the ability to ignore orders.

Remember that cutscene in the geth consensus? The one were the quarians are all scared because the geth is ignoring their shutdown commands and they resort to a buzzsaw?

yeah.....

[fiendishchicken]

I certainly don't like them. Plus they remind me of cockroaches. Or at least Tali does. No offence to Tali-mancers, but her infatuation is pathetic hero worship.

The Geth never rebelled. They gained sapience. Despite evidence to the contrary, the Quarians assumed this meant the Geth wanted to kill them, since being able to think for oneself means they have to kill the creators.

The Geth reacted. They were being prosecuted because the Quarians panicked at the thought of something smart.

If I were the Citadel Council, I would have blocked off the Rannoch mass relay and let the Quarians pay for their stupidity.

Quarians aren't idiots. Frankly, all the other races made equally horrible mistakes.

They're just not as cool as everyone else. Cute little buggers, though.

They are not dumb. You don't get to that stage of tech devolopment otherwise. However they certain lack common sense that is for sure.

Having a kill switch and then having that kill switch work are two entirely different things. Besides it's hard to see self defence as rebellion.

well, that depends who you believe, as each side is saying the other started it

commands and kill switchs are not the same thing. A command is directly saying "Hey, go sit in the corner, you do not punch your sister". a Kill switch is knocking him out and carrying him to a corner

[SNascimento]

Yes, quarians are all morons.

[rex285]

This thread again?


Yes, the quarians are dumb****s and just love to **** everyone over.

[Marsz. Kula]

Umm, they decided to start a war with at worst, the 4th most powerful race in the galaxy(Reapers, Turians, Humans) while galactic civilization was being decimated. I'd say thats dumber than forcing the Geth to revolt, which was plenty dumb itself.

[GenericEnemy]

It's funny, because in ME3 pretty much everybody except the turian Councillor was a ******...

And they would have won that war if it wasn't for divine (or opposite of divine) intervention.

The quarians will do a lot to defend their position. Plus they have been on the run for 300 years. They're going to want to have someone to villify. 

But the Geth showed some real compelling evidence that shows who's fault it was.

The Reapers?

They always did what they were supposed to do. They never screwed anybody, at least not morally. They were also completely honest. They said they intended to wipe us out, and that's all they ever tried to do.

Damn Pod crabs that jump in front of the mako on virmire to block my shot....
