Sairus turned from the man who was injured, to see the Krogan had a pistol to his head. He ran up and tackled the Salarian who held the pistol. He attempted to grab the pistol out of his hand.

*Peers around the empty forum thread*

Hello? Hello... Hello... Lo... Lo... *Hearing echos*

I came to the post-apocolypse version of this thread, I guess. . .

Who would join a different Mass Effect Roleplaying thread if I were to make it, since this thread seems K.I.A? With more lax rules, though... no base guidlines, you could RP an alien on any planet anywhere, etc...

Mass Effect seem to have some trouble kicking off on this forum. I've tried two, and they both failed badly. But I'll be happy to join one if you make it.

Geez, I thought this thread was M.I.A. for a while.

It seemed dead, in a while it would have faded off the main page.

A fresh start may be what it needs.

I would join.

Alrighty then, a fresh start is in order.

I apologize for my absence as GM, but I was making another run through Mass Effect 1 and 2 to refresh my memory of the lore.

If you want to join just post your character below this post.

I just did that... replay the games, I mean.

So we start without the pre-existing story?

One thing though, those skill points confuse me. I think it'd be okay to disclude them.

Agreed. I'm sorry for the train wreck I caused.

The precluding story will be completely erased, and the skill system will be greatly simplified.

I'm going to change the poll to vote on settings for the new roleplay.
The start date will be two weeks before Saren's Geth attack on Eden Prime.

It doesn't seem like a train-wreck.

But theres a thing... or two...

1.) Why does there need to be a main setting, as long as there is a main idea?

2.) Why does it need to be near ME's storyline? Why can't we just say, like, 2 years before Saren's attack on Eden Prime and we go with ME's lore and make our own stories?

Just my opinion, though.

1) It's not the "main" setting, it is just the starting setting. Every story has a beginning, and there's a whole galaxy out there.

2) It's going to parallel the main Mass Effect storyline, but there is still plenty of room to write out our own adventure.
Like I said, there's a whole galaxy out there. I'm just trying to stick to a lore friendly time line because I have
already thought out a whole slew of instances that loosely parallel the main story of my recent play through.

But it just seems like if the story gets past two weeks, we'd get swept up in the main story.

I understand your concerns, but I have faith in my ability to make it work.

I'll be writing some setting descriptions for the poll choices to better prepare.

-EDIT- (Work in progress...) Done.
