[OOC] Mass Effect:The Cycle Continues

[caliban22]

I'm good to start once I'm done with classes.

[Trillovinum]

Right, good luck with those. Though, can I ask if you have any idea when that'll be? Just so I can get a sense of timing and all that.

[caliban22]

Um well just started my two hour class...add in an hour transit and some food. I would say around 4:30-5ish Pacific time.

@caliban22

Right, sorry about that. It got me all confused you see because I was thinking you meant as soon as ALL classes were done. Like it was a matter of days or weeks. This makes alot more sense of course. Don't know what i was thinking ;p

[caliban22]

Nope just end of day thing. Since 3 people voted on old races with two in favor of in, they are in I guess.

[Trillovinum]

All of them? because I find that hard to believe since the reapers all but eliminated all traces of the protheans. I mean I get a few of them surviving (likely Asari or Krogan), like I said in an earlier post. But all of them just seems a tad excessive.

[caliban22]

Put it up to a vote. And asked for any ideas. Two votes for all of em and you and that plan. Since major don't care about lore errors I got no problem with it.

[Trillovinum]

Ehm... not sure if I fully understand that last post... do you want me to put up a vote for something? Anyways, here's an idea I just came up with. Somewhere in Mass effect 1 I believe it is suggested that the reapers might want to leave more reliable servants behind than the keepers aboard the citadel and the Geth are brought up. So what if the Reapers took the Geth after the last cycle and made them into their servants like they did with the protheans in the form of the collectors? So that way we can have the geth be there as servants of the reapers acting from the shadows just like the collectors before.

[caliban22]

1.I said I put it to a vote to see if there was anyone who wanted the old races. at first i think it was humans or something. then some said like an enclave of all citadel races. I put it to a vote and two people were in favor while you were cool with the lizards and squids. And since they majority don't mind about the ME lore errors I see no reason not to allow it. 2. I like it, only problem now it their back story,name, and what planet/mooon/space station/fleet/whatever else that they call home.

[Trillovinum]

Well see, the main problem I have with bringing back the citadel races is this: They'd spoil the reapers for everyone. I mean, yeah the black boxes kind of did that already but actually having survivors of the reaper onslaught be around would make it completely undeniable. There will be no covering it up by the political element because there are too many witnesses. Not to mention the old races would no doubt attempt to rally the new races against the comming reaper threat. (because that was the very mission Javik (the last prothean) and his project set out to do: conserve the prothean empire in a few thousand individuals so they could emerge and found their empire again in order to rally the new races against the reapers.) I mean, it's all fine and dandy to have them be there but the implications for the RP would be huge. Just take my race, the Kimo for example. At the moment they are using the reapers as boogiemen to keep their own population in line. But the moment they hear that the Turians (a council race and the basis of the vast majority of their own technology) are still around and warning everyone the reapers are very real and actually comming... well, they'd shift into a mode where they will be actually preparing for the reapers. Like moving to capture the citadel and actually building the crucible. Like I said the implications of that are vast and I fear people just didn't put enough thought in that before they said yes to this.

[caliban22]

well yes. but as it stands now they don't come into the story for a time. they arrive as group when it gets close to the time they swooop up. and you may be right they may not have put thought in it. if they re think their votes we can cut it. but Sadly I need to try and please as many as I can. trust me I understand the reasoning for you, even if humans start off in the Rp. the time required for a species to achieve the levels required to be targeted are fairly long. considering it took a while for humans to join the council and only then did reapers start rolling up.

[Bright_Ops]

If it makes it easier on people, I can have my race live in a universe were humans and company are no more. Just means less planets for the crusade to stop at.

[caliban22]

thats fine. hey I just realized... they had the Mass relays that go out of the galaxy... if you want to we may be able to have the races that cheesed it and ran out of the galaxy. or we could be in a different galaxy coming to this one. these are ideas, we don't need to have them just as a way to possibly keep them again I will open this to voting if you would like.

[Bright_Ops]

What, you mean our guys rock up on the Councils doorstep out of the blue before the Reaper's first took a crack at them with the Geth?

[caliban22]

no like a relay suddenly turns on in council space (either before/ going along the same time as the games) or we roll in and the citadel pulled a sneaky snake maneuver and froze or whatever a bunch of their people and are now re taking the planets they lost. or like we had it before and we go and at most some Krogan and the other one can be just starting to rebuild with us being basically the top races.

[Bright_Ops]

Maybe we're just over thinking it and it might be better to start off with a fresh slate.

[caliban22]

perhaps. I am open to ideas here.

[urukhai]

I have a question about a potential ship of mine, a quick one I assure you

[caliban22]

big or small ask a way man.

[urukhai]

ok, due to the tech of the the Dominion being a hybrid of organic and technology, would it be possible to have a class of ship that uses both mass effect fields and natural organic camouflage to bend the light around it, rendering it near invisible the the naked eye?
