Political Science Sunday!
I know many of you are playing the demo (or are eagerly waiting to play the demo), but as we begin the long haul to Super Tuesday*, and with the latest blogs from Bioware regarding politicial intrigue, how about a discussion about politics?
Not current politics. That's not what this discussion is about. No, this discussion concerns aliens. :3 Those are much more fun and much less high-blood-pressure-inducing (for you, me and the mods). Aliens are the life-blood of the series (IMO). Volus, hanar, elcor, salarian, asari, turian, krogan, vorcha, batarian and, yes, even those pesky, racist humans are all up for discussion.
Some questions to get your minds churning and the creativity pumping**:
What are your thoughts, head!canons, and insights regarding the political affiliations of some of our favorite characters? Our favorite species? What is 'business as usual' within the ME'verse? What about day-to-day intrigues? How about scandals? What is the name of the turian councilor's mistress? Has C-Sec been under scrutiny again for excessive force? Has President Huerta been removed from office yet? Was the latest salarian flick a direct insult to Matriarch Trellani? What does the volus comedienne, Sura Non, have to say about anything? Are Chao Hsu and Valerie LeBarre still married? How much bullshit has been uploaded to the extranet site uploadednews.com? Any politicians guilty of tax evasion?
And how about this option: To make this even more fun, comment as a political analyst, late-night comedian (or comedienne), blogger/columnist, or an information broker giving info to a client within the ME'verse! Be creative!
Have fun!
(As an aside: Let's stay away from current real-world politics. This is meant to be all in good fun. Let's not spoil the fun with wank, please.)
*seriously, ME3 comes out in the US on Super Tuesday 2012. lolwut?
