The video I posted above is proof that no one is going to miss the Geth except for EDI. The Council is even relieved that the Geth are gone. They don't even care that the Quarians violated the treaty and took back their home world. Tevos was right there with Shepard. She didn't give a damn about it. If the treaty meant that much to the council she would have said something. No one is sad to see the Geth gone from the galaxy, thus proving that the Quarians were right to take the opportunity to eliminate them. None of the Normandy crew is sad about it. Not even Joker. The game doesn't lie.

Although my Shepard renegaded EDI on it -- "The Geth sided with the reapers, is that what you want?"

"Part of me is Cerberus technology. Are you not worried about me siding with Cerberus?"

"Simple solution, EDI, don't side with them."

That's like saying Hit ler was right because he was supported and publicly elected for his ideas. Aswell as the rest of his governement. Popular opinion or publik or majority support doesn't automaticaly make things right.

Them being able to get away with it doesn't make them right. If one of the races has to die, it's going to be the Quarians.

I don't remember the galaxy having much love the Quarians either. Who's going to miss them?

So Godwin gets brought into this again. You just lost the argument. This one is called the reductum ad Hitlerum. The argument has been reduced to Hitler. You have run out of points.

Perhaps the treaty was wrong in the first place? Perhaps it took the Geth heretics attacking the Citadel three years earlier to finally make the Council realize this. And let's not forget Noveria, Ilos, Virmire, Feros, Therum, The Armstrong Nebula, Eden Prime. Perhaps they finally realized they can't rest on their laurels anymore. The facts are in that video.

I also checked what Tavos say when you kill the Quarians, she didn't even say a single Word about them. It's like they never existed. She was just surprised that I managed to get an Alliance with the Geth.

Not a single word regarding the Death of the Quairans :P My guess is that they are both equaly impopular with the council tbh.

But then again, she has her own problems, the Geth and Quarians arn't her problems when the Reapers have began attacking the Asaris outer colony Worlds.

No, you are merely abusing Godwin's "law".  I didnt' accuse anyone of being Hitler I merely told you the truth which is part of our history that everyone should know.
History should not be forbidden knowledge.
But I didn't Point out (and it proves) that popular opinion or a democratic process can't guarantee a decision or opinion to be right.

AGAIN, dead wrong. The entry says that there is no match to the Hoppers in any historical records. Ergo, the current models ARE in the records. They state that the Hoppers are the ONLY models that don't seem to have diffinitive MW counterparts. Alongside the Armature.

So, THERE is my proof - AGAIN.:pinched:


AGAIN, dead wrong. Just because the current standard Geth models don't look completely different to the old ones (it's a fairly basic design. Arms, legs, flashlight head etc), doesn't mean they haven't changed. The newer ones would have been made more combat ready than the old ones.

A prothean who had encountered humans 50000 years ago would probably have recognised us. Doesn't mean we haven't changed.


so, AGAIN, where is the proof?

AGAIN, YOU are Dead Wrong.
The geth were BUILT for labor and war - they were DESIGNED to be stronger then organics, more durible then organics, and able to arm up faster then organics. Their CODEX states in the fist paragraph that ALL of them were made as weapons. Legion says that they ALL were built with the EXACT SAME SPECIFICATIONS as the last. And AGAIN, with the geth, their baseline soldier apperance is NOT any different then the original chassis of the Morning War geth. Ashley Williams, who's only refrence to a geth, reconized them pretty damn fast, despite never seeing one outside of the holos she saw in her grade school. Based on how she reconiozed them from 300-year old holos, it doesn't seem like they changed that much. Also, among the many geth types, the ONLY one that doesn't match ANY histoirical record is the Geth Hopper. That means that most geth DO match histoirical records of past geth types. It really doesn;t seem like upgrading physical capabilities is something the geth devoter resoruces to, since they DON' T PLACE VALUE on physical bodies all that much. Since they don't have a lot of attachment to physical bodies, the term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" seems to ring true for the geth. The ONLY time they ever seemed to devote more resources to platform development was when they learned the Reapers were coming. Before that, the difference was neglegilable.

So, AGAIN, THAT is my proof.
AGAIN.


No it doesn't. Nowhere does it say all Geth were made as weapons. It says they the Geth were created as labourers and tools of war. Nowhere does it say all models were the same. Nobody makes the same robot to be a butler and to be a soldier. Different needs, different specialisations. Nobody gives all civilians access to buy the top of the line millitary robots as butlers.

When does Legion say all Geth were built to the same specifications? You haven't been too reliable for all your other references, so I'm curious. Again: arms, legs and flashlight head is pretty basic. Doesn't mean there haven't been many improvements. Any alien race that saw us 50,000 years ago would still recognise us. 100,000 years too etc. we are not at all the same as we were back then.

Nowhere does it say that all the those types were in the historical records. All we know is that the Geth Hunter isn't there. Even if they were, doesn't that conflict with your earlier statement in this very post? "Legion says that they ALL were built with the EXACT SAME SPECIFICATIONS as the last" Sounds like  you've definitely got something confused there!

Nowhere does it say the Geth don't value physical bodies. They aren't attached to them, that's for sure. Which is why they'd have no problems with upgrades. If they followed the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" philosophy, then why do they have  Geth Hunter model now?

so, AGAIN, where is the proof?

AGAIN, YES. IT. DOES.
Codex - Primary Entries - Non-Council Races - Geth:
"The geth are a huminoid race of networked A.I.s. They were created by the quarians 300 years ago as tools of labor and WAR. "
This is the VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE CODEX IN ALL THREE GAMES.  They ALL were created as tools of labor and wor. How the hell could you possibly MISS that?
And Legion on the Normandy states that ALL geth were created for the same specifications as the next.
Also, sorry to say, but that's EXACTALLY what the quarians did. They made them to be butlers and soldiers - That's what they did, VERBATIUM. After all, what makes you safer then when you have a killer butler that can instantly become the ultimate defense guard. And be easily replaciable to boot. They can all multitask because they ALL are built to the same specifications as the next. Easily relaceable, and one type can serve all. As shown by the single mainstream geth you see in the recordings (and before you try some BS move about not being able to precieve all geth types from the data, don't you think Shepard has seen enough geth over the course of the three games to fill in the blanks? Destroyers, rocket troopers, Juggernaugts, Hoppers, Shock Troppers, Pyros, Primes, Armatures, Snipers, Hunters, Drones of varying design)

When he talks about the geth's sentiance and how they achieved it. He notes that all geth were built for the same exact tasks - protection, domestic serviatude, and so-forth. The geth weee given self-optimization capabilities, so that one type could service any and all needs to the situation. ALL were built with the SAME TEMPLATE.
Also, did you NOT notice how little the geth's bodies changed between ME1 and ME2? The major change came at ME3 when they were prepping for possible war with the Reapers. Also, since the geth never left the Perseus Veil, they would have had no reason to adapt their physical forms to new environments, since they never left the one they inhabited. And sicne they don't place much material value on the physical body, the mentality of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rings true here.

ONCE AGAIN, the entry on Geth Hoppers states that the hoppers are the ONLY one that don't match historical records of the geth. That was kinda the POINT of giving them their own spicific Codex entry. P.S. The Geth Hunter WASN'T IN ME1. The geth seem to have created it between the two years. Just like the Geth Pyro. Looks like YOU are the confussed one!! Also, the geth in the Morning War were all built to the exact same specifications, but were allowed their own self-optimization. As time progressed, they optimized themselves. They were CREATED equal. And AGAIN, note how you never see any other type in those recordinsg, even though Shepard has seen enough geth to differentate the types.
Looks like YOU are the one that got confussed.

Um... read the ME2 Codex Entry :Geth: Culture. Which directly states the geth don't value physical forms, as they are 100% software.
Also, AGAIN, you fail to note the Geth Hunter was NOT one of the models that was brought from the Perseus Veil, and instead was developed outside it inbetween the first and second games.

So, AGAIN, THAT. IS . MY. PROOF.
Which you AGAIN have failed to refute.


All you've proved is your lack of comprehension skills.

Helicopters are made for civilian transport and war. That doesn't mean all helicopters have guns. Some helicopters are made for war, some are not.

Can you give me an exact quote where Legion tells us this? You've been wrong about everything else so far. Your ideas about every other type of Geth unit minus the hunter contradicts this. Which is it? Were there all these types (which are apparently in the histrorical records) except for the Hunter? Or only the standard model?



"After all, what makes you safer then when you have a killer butler that can instantly become the ultimate defense guard."
Yeah, because civillians always have the same weaponry as the millitary?

The Hunter's codex page doesn't state that it's the Hunter model is the only one not in the records. It's the only page that states  that there are no records of it. There's a pretty big difference.

Actually the Geth: Culture codex page I see doesn't say that. It says they have no concept of self preservation, due to the fact that no data is lost. Not that they don't value physical forms.


I didn't see much change in the human tech from ME1 to ME2 either (except for the stupid thermal clips bit). What's your point?

Come on. Where is the proof?

___________________________________________________________________________________


ONCE AGAIN, you IGNORED it - a thing with you, it seems, showing YOUR comprehension skills are the ones lacking.
ONCE AGAIN, the proof is the CODEX, and LEGION.

And ONCE AGAIN, the geth are NOT helecopters. They are ALL GUNS. They can kill bare-handed. They have more strength then an organic. They have built-in enhanced duribility. They can be replaced easily. And thanks to their self-optimization, ONE UNITS FITS ALL NEEDS. Just look at the LOKI and FENRIS mechs. You get a pet FENRIS mech on the Normandy with the Collector's Edition. Domestic, even though it is built as a warfare/security unit. THAT'S what the geth were.

And ONCE AGAIN, in the case of the geth - YES.
They were excentally ment to be like the Rachni - ALL of them can become soldiers, even the one's on domestic duty, because not only must they be good servents, they must be good bodyguards. Just like the drell are for the hanar. Except that ALL geth are like that. The quarians spicifically made them like that, because they ever once even thought of the possibility that this powerful force would turn on them. Which is why when they DID show signs of independance, the quarians pissed themselves at the idea that every single one - which could become a killer instantly - could go off, and that because they were machines, they would assumedly have no moral imperative to reason with.

Also, the Hunter was NOT among the models of geth that Saren brought back from the Perseus Veil. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have excluded them. THEY DID NOT EXIST IN ME1. They appeared TWO YEARS LATER, after the Geth Heretics had spent some time outside the Veil, developing their own tech. And the True Geth likely created their own, much sleeker Hunters from studying the Heretic's Hunter units.
And LOL, what? Isn't not having any records on it the SAME THING as it not matching any previous records? That IS THE EXACT SAME THING. Because last I checked, not having any records on it period kinda entails that there were no matching past records EITHER. That's NO different then the Geth Hoppers. What the hell were you going on about? Nither one has any record of existing, ergo nither matched the historical records of existing geth.:pinched:

And AGAIN, you DON'T SEE it? You really DO have no comprehension.
They have no self-preservation in regards to their physical bodies. Not anymore, now that they have evolved enough processing power to transfer completely from one body to the next without missing a beat. In the Morning War, you might have been right, but not anymore. Legion also tells you on the Heretic Station that the geth are NOT the platforms, but the software. AKA - the bodies are WORTHLESS to them. they are disposible and easily replacible. This is stated by their lack of PHYSICAL self-preservation, and by Legion directly telling you the geth don't actually care about their physical forms. Hell, the entire Geth: Culture entry is about how geth culture works when they have no real value for ANY physical object.

WRONG.
Biotic Amps became more multi-functional. Weapons could switch between ammo types via omni-tool ammo mods instead of having to insert different modules manually. Mech technology evolved drasticly. Shuttles became more compact and widespread. Cloaking Tech became reality. Cyclonic barriers, Thanix cannons, Silaris armor. There was a massive jump in armor tech, given the stark differences between Shepard's armor between games.
As well as several dozen more weapons, like the Claymore shotgun, the Salarian Scorpian pistol and scorpian shotgun. Missle launchers were mass-produced by Armax Arsonal.
ALOT of tech was created, altered, or changed completely between games, tnanks to geth tech to study.

So, ONCE AGAIN, as before - Legion and the Codex.
THERE. IS . THE . PROOF.


Yeah. Further proof you can't understand what you read.

None of what you said is actually in the codex. I checked.

I don't think you understand what a gun is either.

Again. What does Legion say exactly when he supposedly tells us that all Geth units were made identically? And how does this fit in with the historical records of the all the other Geth types you claim there are?

Again. You misunderstood. How is the Geth Hunter not having records mean everything else was in the records? Nothing in the codex said the other types were in the historical records.

It's not there in the codex. Replacable bodies doesn't mean worthless. If they thought the bodies were worthless they wouldn't bother with them at all.  Clearly, it's not just reading that's an issue for you. It's also logic. The fact that these bodies are so replaceable, means they can easily make and better bodies as time goes on. As they have certainly done over 300 years.

The biotic amp and weapons changes aren't really huge advances in tech. How did the mechs get so much better? What's your evidence for cloaking tech being a new thing? It's a new power, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the tech didn't exist before. Do you have any evidence that shows that Silaris armour wasn't around before ME1? It's Asari tech. Thanix cannons came from studying the Sovereign corpse, which the Geth didn't have.

Do you have any evidence for the Claymore Shotgun being new? We were talking about ME1-ME2 and I don't see any scorpion pistols in ME2. Nor do I see a Scorpion shotgun anywhere.

So once again:
Neither Legion nor the codex prove that:
a) All Geth units before the Morning War were identical.
B) That the basicGeth platforms of today are no different to those 300 years ago.
c) That Geth are guns?

So, where's the proof?

Tbh, Tavos doesn't say a singel Word abotu the Quarians if they die. It's not her problem. She's just surprised you managed to get an Alliance with the Geth and tells you she needs to talk to you on the citadel.... About those Dirty Little Asari secrets she has been hiding for milenia.

The Point where you celebrate the abuse of "Godwins Law". Censorship of history and applicable use of history for comparison of ones contemporary arguments.

And no, I didn't misstake your support of Julias comment, that's why I responded to it, you just supported historical censorship and abuse of Godwin Law.

Hey shodiswe, point out to me where I said we should burn all history books and totally ignore the past 'cause I sure can't see it. Damn, must of posted that in invisible text or something...

Also, that cookie is not for you, it's for Julia.


The Point where you celebrate the abuse of "Godwins Law". Censorship of history and applicable use of history for comparison of ones contemporary arguments.

And no, I didn't misstake your support of Julias comment, that's why I responded to it, you just supported historical censorship and abuse of Godwin Law.

Dude, I was giving Julia a cookie due to her interesting termonology which I conviently bolded, which you seemed to conviently miss. Way to take my comment completely outta context.

I'd say that a thread involving the discussion of the potential genocide of one species or the other and the reasons behind said genocide automatically excludes it from Godwin's law. Why? Because it's essentially what the thread is about in the first place.

Well not exactly. In case of the N.azis it was all pretty clear. The N.azis commited genocide against the Jews, the Jews were innocent. The Quarians and Geth were both guilty.

Obviously.

However there's enough correlation to not be surprised if someone makes a crossover comment rather than it coming out of left field.

The video I posted above is proof that no one is going to miss the Geth except for EDI. The Council is even relieved that the Geth are gone. They don't even care that the Quarians violated the treaty and took back their home world. Tevos was right there with Shepard. She didn't give a damn about it. If the treaty meant that much to the council she would have said something. No one is sad to see the Geth gone from the galaxy, thus proving that the Quarians were right to take the opportunity to eliminate them. None of the Normandy crew is sad about it. Not even Joker. The game doesn't lie.

Although my Shepard renegaded EDI on it -- "The Geth sided with the reapers, is that what you want?"

"Part of me is Cerberus technology. Are you not worried about me siding with Cerberus?"

"Simple solution, EDI, don't side with them."


Actually in the vid you posted, Tali is sad about Legion dying which is why she answers and tells him he has a soul.  She also says, "My people are celebrating.  It's all one perfect victory for them.  And all we had to do was murder an ally.  A friend."  She concludes she doesn't belong there.  So sorry game don't lie.  Tali cares.

P.S. - By this logic no one cares if the Quarians die either.  The Geth became allies after wiping them out.

Silver,

A domestic unit does not need to have military style weapons knowledge.  If you need it to become a military unit all you have to do is download weapons program into it as the need arises.  You don't need domestic Geth at your home playing hopscotch with your kids to have the military training already downloaded.

The Geth become sentient.  It was told to shut down and die and the first instinct it had was not to kill.  The first instinct it had was to ask why when it could still serve.  That is why you gun analogy is bullsh*t.  The gun begged you to tell it how it could better serve you and your response was to try and kill it.  That's just stupid.  Trying to claim the Quarians had no reason to believe the Geth could be reasoned with when it is begging you to tell you had to better serve it is bullsh*t.  They had plenty of reasons, they simply chose to ignore them because of their fear and paranoia.  That is typically how prejudice works.

That does not exclude a comparison being made.  The Quarians clearly sought to exterminate an entire group.  The Geth clearly exterminated damn near an entire group.  Just because both sides are potentially guilty does not mean neither side can be compared to Hitler.  Just means the Hitler comparison is potentially applicable to both.

Of course, the Quarian supporters have no real defense except to say but machines which is why they instinctively fall back on Godwin.  It's a means to ignore the cold hard truth that their cute cuddly Quarian friends tried to exterminate a species using as justification that their form of life was sub-human ie organic as if that was clearly not also Hitler's motivation. 

When your defense for something as Tali says in ME1 is that a group might realise they are slaves so we have to kill them before they rebel then you have lost the moral argument.

Popular opinion doesn't make something right.

That's like saying Hit ler was right because he was supported and publicly elected for his ideas. Aswell as the rest of his governement. Popular opinion or publik or majority support doesn't automaticaly make things right.

Moral obligation doesn't make something right either, as the destruction of the Alpha Relay clearly shows. Sometimes the moral choice isn't the correct one.

And ONCE AGAIN, you try to bring Godwin's Law into this. Either refute with in-game info, or don't.

Them being able to get away with it doesn't make them right. If one of the races has to die, it's going to be the Quarians.

I don't remember the galaxy having much love the Quarians either. Who's going to miss them?

WHY? Because last I checked, nothing the geth did made them worth more then the quarians, or any other species. What suddenly makes the geth so valuble? Especally when most of the grief they had was brought on by their own isolationist policies?

Also, the ENTIRE NORMANDY CREW chastizes and berates you for siding with the geth over the quarians. Everyone says they don't know why you picked them over the quarians, and Garrus and Ashley are left devestated at Tali's suicide. James and Kaiden say they don't trust the geth at all, Kaiden in particular saying he'll never forgive them for all they did, including the fact that he still blames them for Virmire. Javik says that synthetics with no material wants will turn on them, and berates Shepard for picking them. Joker will be particularry upset as well, castizing you and noting weather or not you bothered to think of Tali in all this.
On the opposate end of the specturm, evenyone shows support for destroying the geth, Garrus saying that after all the blood the geth spilled, "I'm not sorry to see them go." Kaiden says that he's glad the geth are gone. Ashley and Javik in particular are pactally overjoyed to see them gone, Ash calling them "murderous." James says he feels relieved they don't have the geth to worry about anymore.

So, FYI - EVERYONE misses the quarians over the geth. Hell, the reason Hackett sent you out in the first place was to get the quarians for logistics and troop transport - nither of which the geth are capable of.

So Godwin gets brought into this again. You just lost the argument. This one is called the reductum ad Hitlerum. The argument has been reduced to Hitler. You have run out of points.

Perhaps the treaty was wrong in the first place? Perhaps it took the Geth heretics attacking the Citadel three years earlier to finally make the Council realize this. And let's not forget Noveria, Ilos, Virmire, Feros, Therum, The Armstrong Nebula, Eden Prime. Perhaps they finally realized they can't rest on their laurels anymore. The facts are in that video.

Indeed. The entire point was to avoid provoking the geth, but yet they destroyed all the peace envoys that were sent out to negotiate with them.
And when Saren provoked a faction of geth into attacking Eden Prime, and starting what is refered to as the "Eden Prime War" with the Council and Alliance, he pretty much broke the non-provocation treaty himself. Said treaty was completely redundant now that Saren had coxed the geth out of the Veil himself, and made utterly worthless as the Alliance and Council put kill orders on all geth in retaliation for the Battle of the Citadel.

I also checked what Tavos say when you kill the Quarians, she didn't even say a single Word about them. It's like they never existed. She was just surprised that I managed to get an Alliance with the Geth.

Not a single word regarding the Death of the Quairans :P My guess is that they are both equaly impopular with the council tbh.

But then again, she has her own problems, the Geth and Quarians arn't her problems when the Reapers have began attacking the Asaris outer colony Worlds.

The same can't be said about the Normandy Crew. Also, when you get the quarians saved, she shows more support to having wiped out the geth. The entire POINT was that she had basically nothing good to say about saving the geth, besides acknowledging that it wasn't what they expected to happen.

No, you are merely abusing Godwin's "law".  I didnt' accuse anyone of being Hitler I merely told you the truth which is part of our history that everyone should know.
History should not be forbidden knowledge.
But I didn't Point out (and it proves) that popular opinion or a democratic process can't guarantee a decision or opinion to be right.

AGAIN, dead wrong, because in using such a senstitve topic so flippantly, you disrespect the event, the horrors of what happened, and the people who's families were affected by it. It's offensive and insenstive, and by using it, it basically means you have nothing in the game itself that backs what you say. You basically use Godwin when you have NO REFUTE. Basically, you use it, you are conceding that you have no counter to the other person's point.

And AGAIN, what is the right choice, and what is the morally sound choice are not the same thing. The Alpha Relay shows us that.
