[OOC] Mass Effect:The Cycle Continues

[Jangel13]

Doesn't matter to me about the npc races that join but I approve of the dice roll

[caliban22]

Alright we got one for Dice roll... Any others?

[Bright_Ops]

I'm up for dice roll, with bonuses or penalties depending on the RP/situation. After all, having a fleet above a planet with no anti air is going to give orbital bombardment a strong bonus.

[Jangel13]

I actually like that, and since my people have wings it will give my guys aerial fighting bonus

[caliban22]

That's two. One more and we have a combat system. Also for ep reasons we all being dumped in the same sector of space. So we can interact with each other.

[caliban22]

Also as to a council sanctuary I will allow that. All council races plus krogan and Aquarian are here. But they will minor npc. They may come up in events and give you some gifts if you help them out. Also once the last people put in their votes I will be able to give out the starter mods and perks.

[Bright_Ops]

I suspect my people and the Krogan will either get along famously or there is going to be at least one war of extermination. Fun times ahead!

[urukhai]

oooooh this is still alive!! Fantastic!!!!

I suspect my people won't be regarded nicely by council races :p

You got a point, though I do not believe you have caught the joke :P Drahss incredibly resealable the Geth. I do believe council race, and most of everyone else Quarians, would bear loathe/distrust towards me.

[caliban22]

All old races are minor. You can have them hate you cause they can't really do anything. They are all sharing a system so we won't see much of them unless you contact them. The only ones you should want to worry about the other players and the new races. Side not on war. If it goes on to long you get civil unrest debuffs

Wait... what about the Reapers? W-we are not safe with those... monstrosities out there! By the way, how many of us has achieved awareness of the existence of cycles?

[caliban22]

no one as on yet. Least on as fact, the only thing that is known is the old races feared something they called the reapers, but there is no proof they existed nor has ever been found. basically until the old races show up its like how it was during the last cycle. no one really believed they existed. Through events you could learn about them, but as of right now the only way you learn of them is when the old races are discovered.

Actually, the Drahss Federacy has found one of Liara Black boxes. Poor Liara... *sobs*

[caliban22]

yes I know. but one box while it may hold information on it, depending on who the person it is who is being told may call you crazy for bunch of flying space squids going around and killing everything....(It is weird when I say it like that) But yes you can know doesn't necessarily mean the entire galaxy knows. For many reasons. For some it may be like a story or a movie, or something (not sure people would believe that but then again I am friends with many an idiot who are Kelso Levels of stupid) . English may not be a language at this point, so we may have guide to killing said squids but we may not understand it. ( on the subject of a common language just assume there is one at this point.) I am not saying you can't have one even understand it, just find a way that realistically you know these things. (I realize as I said that I was talking about flying squids before...) If you do that then you can be the herald of the up coming galactic Apocalypse and no I while it may seem sarcastic I am serious you can be the only one that knows anything at this point if the reason is good enough. if not well you still got a cool box...that's a plus right? that shows a blue lady and a squid. and you can do what you want with it, research it, use it as a foot stool, go to other players and do a thing with them with it.

Hmm, interesting! I could be the new 'Asari'! Holding precious informations about advanced tech without sharing it with nobody :P !

[caliban22]

perhaps, you can get it as a modifier.

The Nur'xal have a prophesy of the so called 'Void Gods' that will try to trick them with gifts of power and technology so that they can slaughter them all with ease. It's kind of way they are so xenophobic about alien technology.

[Trillovinum]

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.
