Beforeyou guys go and look at our content, this is what our very own KFD had
to say about why we write all the time in this thread. Put into words
that few can express.

Hi Wulf!

There's been a
truck load of good conversations, philosophizing, screen shots, poetry,
humor, good natured camarderie and admiration/love for Tali's persona.

It just came to me in a flash a moment before typing this post.

We
often speak of Tali and our fan enthusiasm towards her as though it
were a sect; the truth may not be too far off that description. Stated
in short, concise terms: We've become a movement. Each day the
self-declared "Talimancers" return, many of us familiar faces and some
new. Our exuberance and devotion to this place does not appear to be
dimming as the days go by - quite the contrary. And it is not because
of this place. No, it's because of what has been unleashed by the
creation of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy as a character. I trust we are all
painfully aware that she is not a living, breathing entity as we have
come to understand such. She has become an ideal; her spirit has
awakened something that has lain dormant deep inside many of us - each
of us either secretly aware that we craved something or perhaps going
through our daily routines unsure how to place our fingertips on it yet
instinctively aware that something is missing. Each of us share this
yearning to one degree or another and it is a shared commonality that
forges these bonds between us that have been strengthened over the past
few days.

We are kindred spirits irrespective of our age, our
experience, our country of birth or native tongue, we are alike because
we have been awakened inside. We've had one of those rare opportunities
that some people can search for for a lifetime to glimpse at our inner
workings, compare it to the world around us and reached the conclusion
that regardless of our station in life it can be even better. That we
as individuals and as a collective group can be better - that we are
already becoming better thanks to the resonating, complimentary effect
we are creating amongst ourselves. It may sound melodramatic yet
I believe with an earnest heart and a clear mind that the adoration and
love the character of Tali'Zorah enjoys is a testament to the
recognition by many here that there is a love that can burn so brightly
within the recesses of our souls that no darkness,  no matter how
grave, can extinguish. We, the so-called "Talimancers" - a term that
may have started out as a half jest, have become a movement because we
see clearly, perhaps for the first time in a while, that there are
better and greater things in our brief existence than purely material
and selfish pursuits. That the values represented in Tali'Zorah vas
Normandy need not only apply to her but can apply to us and those
around us. That we can find such a love - selfless, honest,
compassionate, modest, pure, brave and strong - and that it is
something worth striving for. It is for these reasons that we have each
come to love Tali'Zorah in our own individual way, and it is for those
reasons that she, the character of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, has become
a rallying cry, a symbol.

......And now I'm done.


But no...no he was not...

The_KFD_Case wrote....

I could rattle of a non-comprehensive list of traits that
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy possesses (intelligence, sweet, shy, earnest,
quirky, passionate, courageous, strong yet gentle, reasonable, a voice
that makes grown men weak at the knees, a touch of mystery, etc.) which
are immensely appealing to many. Yet perhaps it is more succintly
summed up by stating that she represents a figure that many of us yearn
so deeply, even desperately, for; like a drowning sailor at sea clings
to flotsam to keep his head above the encroaching cold water, so too
are people here desperate-yet-hopeful that perhaps maybe, just maybe,
someday they may count themselves fortunate enough to encounter a
real-live woman who encapsulates if not all of these traits, then at
very least some of them. In short: Tali has become a symbol of
attainable perfection. It is a powerful thing for it speaks to a
yearning inside many of us and we feel its call. The character of
Tali'Zorah has reached out and captured our hearts and our imagination
and we want more. Much more.

What can I post in this thread?

*Anything to do with Tali of course! Fanfics, Fanart, tributes--anything

* What's the purpose? We're hoping our voices will be heard--BioWare [b]must
know their fans love and adore Tali.

* What
can we talk about? Again, any Tali speculation, or anything about Tali
in general, as well as how we think she might appear in ME3.


Want
to make a difference? Be sure to change your signature to "I support
Tali for Mass Effect !" Also, be sure to include a link to this
thread! Spread the glory around! Only YOU can put Tali in Mass Effect 3!

Keep this thread alive, people! If it dies, so does TALI! ../../../images/forum/emoticons/love.png

Posted Image

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So in Mass Effect 2, we'll most likely see new squadmates... 


Anyways, here's my point!

In
my honest opinion, Mass Effect would not be the same without Tali. No,
I am not exaggerating. Tali is amazing, and I am proud to call myself a
fanboy, damn it. She MUST be in Mass Effect 3. Unless she dies, and you
import, that is. If she lives, she MUST remain a squad member, and if
you romanced her, she MUST remained romanced in ME3. Wouldn't that be
amazing, stepping into ME3 with an already romanced Tali, and having a
full on romance experience throughout the ENTIRE game and not just
before the last mission?

C'mon, guys! We need Tali! 

I
highly doubt anyone will do what I am suggesting, but if you are a true
Tali fan, like myself, then please, change your signature to "I support
Tali for Mass Effect 3!" 

Supporting Evidence that Tali could likely remain a squad member:

Tali's
name is changed from Tali'Zorah vas Neema to Tali'Zorah vas Normandy,
meaning she's basically tied to the ship. I'm assuming that she
wouldn't leave, even if she wanted. (Unless BioWare pulls a mean
scapegoat, like make her an Admiral of the Flotilla... facepalm)

It MUST be done! ../../../images/forum/emoticons/wizard.png

No, destroying them is killing them. Shutting down is not the same. You can shut down and then reactivate. The Quarians know this, but the Geth don't.



They are purposefully taking away a sentient being's ability to operate. I agree they probably didn't have the insight to make a better choice at the time, it was largely a knee jerk reaction. That doesn't change the fact that it was wrong and that justifies the geth's retaliation.


I don't think it is wrong. The Quarians weren't wrong. They just didn't not have the foresight. If a machine is malfunctioning, you shut it down and figure out how to fix it. Both the Quarians and the Geth are at fault, but neither of them are "wrong." The Quarians thought they were just shutting down malfunctioning AI, and the Geth were just trying to stop the Quarians from shutting them down. Synthetic=/=organic. Also, I'd like it if you answer my question about organic child vs. synthetic geth. Although you don't have to. Would just like to hear your thoughts.

Right, here's my reply to one of the previous posts regarding the Geth:

Yes, because the Quarians attacked them. Self defence. Which part of that do you not comprehend? Legion even exclaims at one point that the Geth apparently regret the extent to which they defended themselves, indicating that the Geth think too much was lost in the process.

BS? Please do yourself a favour and actually read the entries in the Index in ME2. You may find it quite educational. In one Index entry about the Geth, it indicates that after Shepard has learned the things he does from Legion, that the Heretics may only account for 5% of the total Geth population. You should be thankful that the main body of Geth are not of the opinion that organic life needs to be eradicated.

Your claim about the Geth feeling superior is a moot issue since the Geth hold the logic that all species - including organics - have the right to determine their own path. End of story.

The Geth are likely quite aware of the difference between "shutting down" and permanently "killing" something. However, if they are no longer in a position to turn themselves back on and have to trust another species to do this then it's not difficult to comprehend why the Geth may perceive it to amount to the same thing for them in practical terms. There is no guarantee that the species that shut them down will reactivate them after all, and once that is done the Geth would be unable to further impact the situation.

9,490 posts. We were THAT close to 10,000! Ack!



Lol. Doesn't matter so long as there's a place for fans to express their love for our favorite shotgun-toting, ventilator breathing, AI-hacking space gypsy.

I don't think it is wrong. The Quarians weren't wrong. They just didn't not have the foresight. If a machine is malfunctioning, you shut it down and figure out how to fix it. Both the Quarians and the Geth are at fault, but neither of them are "wrong." The Quarians thought they were just shutting down malfunctioning AI, and the Geth were just trying to stop the Quarians from shutting them down. Synthetic=/=organic. Also, I'd like it if you answer my question about organic child vs. synthetic geth. Although you don't have to. Would just like to hear your thoughts.


I agree that they may have lacked the foresight to make a reasonable decision considering they probably didn't know the extent of the geth's cogntive function but the anaolgy of a malfunctioning machine is faulty. If your washing machine one day asked you "Does this unit have a soul? Is this unit alive? What is this unit's purpose?" you wouldn't be justified in just sending in the Maytag repair man to shut it down.

Edit: Could you please repost your question? I missed it.

Hehehe, well, i think that the message has been sent to BioWare.

Hehehehehehe. So yeah, Stanley, make sure you convey that message from these threads.



Also, we are going to have to keep the count of the posts in the old thread and then keep adding the amount for this thread if we wanna keep track. The amount of replays of the old thread should be in the OP maybe.
