What?
Vashir(or whatver her name was) from Lair of the shadowbroker.... Samara and her daughter during the monastery mission in ME3... She lifts of, goes over the railing with her daughter and slowlydesends, indicating they were using Biotics to achive it.
Leviathan Biotics could be far more powerful.
If various survival horror movies have taught me anything, it's that rural Alaska will continue to be...
Rural Alaska, but moreso.
So I suspect we'll all be fine-ish (not enough people to bother, especially in my neck of the woods), but really tired of eating moose and almost out of pilot bread.
What's the proper term to use when 80% of your forces/civilians were killed and or destroyed? I know its not decimate but annihilate or obliterate don't seem appropriate either.

Actually you could use 'destroyed.'
The military considers any unit with over 30% casualties as effectively destroyed.
Well, Paris has a lot of hidding places, from the ancient catacombs to the subway.
Isn't that an exposed position when the husks start pouring in? The countryside souded a lot better. That's what Anderson Claims, that people who survived are the people who fleet out and hid in the coutnryside where the Reapers have to seek them out one by one instead of catching a few thousand people here or there. Collecting in large numbers in shelters or publicbuildings was a deathtrap.

Then we should all just go to Siberia

HEY. Speaking as a representative of BSN-above-the-arctic-circle, it's not that bad.
I can't imagine Siberia's that much worse than the slope.
I live in small town USA so I'd get to watch the big cities go first, and probably eventually fall to indirect reaper forces. From where I live I could look east and see reapers in the capitol.

Or you might find yourself in this situation: ...
Then it's not wrong if it's still the definition. I'm going to follow the U.S. Army's Regulation, which includes the word in terms to know in communication, defined exactly the way as I said it was. Reference: AR 25-50.
Otherwise, you're claiming I'm wrong and then affirming I'm right and launching into semantics.
It's entirely wrong. If both definitions are correct and accepted, which they are, it's entirely wrong to claim that only the one you like is right.

It is entirely right. From an etymological standpoint, and according to the U.S. Army, it's right. And you're coming into a thread deliberately looking for crap to throw at people now.

Han said it first, but we'll typically say something along the lines of 'combat ineffective' for the military. Underwhelming, but that's what I was trained to give in my reports.

Just to point out, if the US Army says something is right that doesn't mean that it is. For exmaple they claim they speak and write English, but they don't: it's the American dialect of English.. from an etymological standpoint of course.. 
unless I'm vary much mistaken, only about 40% of a large military unit is comprised of combat troops, the rest is basically non-combat support, right (or do I have it backwards)? so I can see why a 30% loss would cause combat ineffectiveness.
Depends on the unit. Some formations are comprised of one hundred percent combat arms personnel. They're typically divided at the regimental level or lower. They're a composite group at a brigade or higher. Of course, this isn't always the case.
Without going nuts on details or specifics for each branch, you have your breakdown of the basic chain of command:
Individual Soldier
Fire & Maneuvers Team (2 Soldiers)
Fireteam (3-5 Soldiers, typically 4)
Squad (7-12 Soldiers, typically 9 in the Army)
Platoon (26-64 Soldiers, typically 45)
Company (2-5 Platoons)
Battalion (2-5 Companies)
Regiment (2 or more Battalions)
Brigade (2 or more Regiments)
Division (2 or more Brigades)
Corps (2 or more Divisions)
Field Army (2 or more Corps)
Army Group (2 or more Field Armies)
Army Region (2 or more Army Groups)
Theater (Region of special interest)

The Reapers would specifically target you guys to eliminate a possible safe-zone. Or they'd let you get a false sense of hope before harvesting you.
Nowhere is safe in a Reaper invasion. They're going to come for you eventually.
Eventualy might be enough time if the Reapers are stoped. Unless ofcourse you got a fuckedup shepard that choose to refuse!
The Objective for the populations is to find ways to survive and make the Reapers work slower.
Haha, ya, what Shepard would do that?
*glances around awkwardly*

Maybe. The problem is if you're able to avoid the reapers without them finding you, similiar to Ilos, will you have enough supplies to last the entire invasion as well as live that long?
