Wow, I didn't check the site for a few days and stuff's kicked into gear! That's good, very good.
I'll be checking in daily or once every two days depending on how busy I get from now on.

Anyway, to adress a few points.
I'm ok with a system of die rolls to determine combat though it has to be fair.

But I'm not quite sure I like having all the old races there as well. Perhaps a few that managed to survive would work.
The Asari or the Krogan would probably be the most likely to survive since Asari can reproduce with partners from every other race as well as themselves and the krogan because they reproduce like crazy and can get their numbers back up really fast after a major crisis nearly wipes them out. (though admitedly that would only work if in this cannon the genophage was cured.) The others wouldn't stand that much of a chance with perhaps the humans being the exeption (we're basically space orks after all ;p)

One last thing I would like to add is that my race (the Kimo) know about the reapers from evidence they've gathered after finding one of Liara's warnings aboard an ancient Turian ship and are taking the threat they pose very seriously. This means they also have the plans for the crucible though they have no intentions of building it since it would absorb huge amounts of resources and not serve any clear purpose (since even liara didn't know what that thing does)
Now this doesn't mean that my people are all powerful reaper killers that have all the evidence and answers. They don't. In fact, they have only really used those warnings to effectively support their intense militarisation on the field of public opinion. To put it plainly, the reapers are boogiemen to the Kimo, serving only to scare the people into allowing the central government to have massive fleets which they use to keep the various systems in line.


having said all this, I'm still very much looking forward to starting.
