Ocham's Razor is clearly not a thing in the IT-crowd.

Scrub. Get on my level brah.

I was born in it. Molded by it, by the time I had seen the Deus Ex Machina and crucible Macguffin, I was already a man. Too me, it was nothing but lore breaking!

This is the part where you guys spam the thread with bullshit to get it closed, right?

 

IT gameplan at it's finest.

Good times TR. 

 

 

For the Empire TR.... For the Empire. 

[TurianRebel212]

The team would be proud flux. Very proud.

 

 

For TeamBirdsallSa is more than just a name or the people behind it. TeamBirdSallSa is an idea. And that idea is not so easily destroyed......

Don't sweat it. Every so often the board needs to be reminded exactly why IT is a joke.

Would make am amusing game though; shep spends the entire game solving problems but failing to get the support, there's a final climatic battle around earth as the remainder of the alliance fleet is wiped out.. then we see the asari/turian/salarian fleets escorting the crucible to the citadel and firing it after it had been built within protected asari/turian space or wherever.

On a somewhat-related topic, when I first heard of the Thessia archive I was pretty sure that the asari had known about the Crucible plans all along, and the reason they weren't very interested in Shepard's project was that they had already built one. So the Alliance Crucible would get blown up but we'd have a spare. Don't know if I was thinking of Wing Commander 3 or Contact.

I love you IT-guys, I really do.

 

You constantly accuse other people of "not being able to read the story", "not picking up the clues" and "overlooking the obvious". Yet, the biggest, most obvious clue of them all, Vendetta, you come up with most ridiculious ideas to make them work in your IT-fantasy.

 

Squadmates a buffer against incoming and outgoing indoctrination signals. BWAHAHAHA.

Shepard has to be dreaming for Vendetta to notice. Say what? That Kai Leng is one HELL of a sleepwalker.

 

Instead of taking the logical, obvious conclusion that Shepard is not indoctrinated, you come up with the wildest theories to make your theory work, and have the audicity of accusing others of not seeing the obvious, and not using the answers the game gives you.

 

Hilarious

 

ITers explaining Vendetta is always an amusing experience.

 

Deus ex? More lie folie a deux.

Now that would've made a bloody good twist wouldn't it; the asari destroy the upstarts and cement their place as dominant species.

After that sort of ending this place would have gone thermonuclear

Turian go back to the Scary Door where your ramblings are tolerated

@Erik Modi -Not in the beginning it wasn't about the crucible at all, in fact half the 1/2 the game was just gathering help to bring to *save* Earth and has zip to do with the Crucible. The Crucible was just being built and no-one had any reason to even think of bringing it to earth since at no time did we even figure out how it even worked, much less what it did exactly (another brilliant thing that bugged me, but that's totally separate from this discussion). When Shep talks to the Turians it was to get their fleets to Earth to help save it, not to guard the crucible.

 

As I remember my last playthrough of ME about 6 mos ago, the Prothean scientists discovered a way to sever the Keepers from receiving the Reapers external signal that would have them activate the Citadel Relay into DS and bring the Reapers through, the Reapers still controlled the Relay network because Sovereign was docking with the Citadel to manually take control and open it himself. To me this says that the relay control was not destroyed at all.

 

Perhaps, 'foregone conclusion' isn't correct term, still, the conversation with Anderson before you leave Earth is all about getting help from the other races to send to Earth, so where else would they be sending them to help Earth if not there??

[Dance Craze]

Because last I checked every single person on this forum is a gorram human.

 

When is the last time you checked? How often do you check?

Note that anything the prothean scientists did on the Citadel is mere conjecture. Vigil had no actual knowledge of what happened since the Conduit is a one-way link.

At that point the other Citadel races hadn't been attacked yet, had they?

[Gervaise]

There is the possibility that other races acknowledge that humans are the ones the Reapers have selected to be Reaperized as the "dominant" race.   They might not agree with that assumption by the Reapers but if they are to avoid total extinction or absorption into the human Reaper, it would pay to slow up the process as once complete the Reapers will then just eradicate the rest.   This is why the Reapers would appear to be just wiping out  the populations on Thessia and Palavan but rounding up the humans on earth.    Initially everything is about delaying tactics whilst allowing the super weapon to be created.    It might have been assumed that it was a conventional weapon and thus it was likely to deployed near earth anyway since that is where the main concentration of Reaper forces is located.    Once Shepard learns that the Citadel is necessary for its operation and this has been relocated to near earth, then there is no longer any doubt about where the forces will go.

Actually, the Turians had at that point was what i remember there. You have the meeting with the Council and they were all 'we have our own problems/borders to guard' than after the meeting Sparatus points you to Menae to talk to Fedorian.

 

and

 

Im not certain how what the Protheans did was conjecture exactly, their stated goal was to find a way to stop the Keepers from receiving the signal to open the relay to dark space which they obviously did since Sovereign couldn't get the Keepers to open the Citadel DR and shut down the RN and had to eventually resort to using Saren as an agent. 

 

edit - oh, i did forget one thing, the keeper quest from ME, Chorban confirms the keepers should have received a signal every 50K years or so which for us would be right about now. This to me is just icing on top of what we already know about the keepers being severed from receiving the external signal to activate the DR and shut down the RN.
