Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

They are likely reading sections of the message board, and well people who complain tend to talk more so the intiative first crowd that wants luxuries and screw the YZ folk are probably over represented. Note this was a very quick survey, a more indepth survey would likely reveal changing trends and such not something picked up in a short observation.

Vulcans gonna Vulcan.
To be fair, at that time, we were addressing problems like "our citizens are literally starving and have no electricity."
GDI's citizens were willing to prioritize their personal survival needs over their personal luxury desires.
But GDI citizens are not willing to fully sacrifice their luxury desires towards the goal of, say, rolling back tiberium as much as physically possible.
To a Vulcan, that is illogical.
By human standards, yes. Since the Vulcans favor a much more austere and technocratic way of life, by Vulcan standards they are being unfair to us.
Think about the nastiest complains you've seen in this thread by people going "why are people demanding that we do XYZ when we've got tiberium and Nod to fight? So ungrateful!" That would be, like, the median Vulcan perspective on the issue.
Uh, do they not understand that the GDI's warlike tendencies are largely reactive to the realities of dealing with NOD? Or the Visitors, who we should have extensive records of from the third war? Because it sounds like they're ignoring or somehow missing that.
Pretty sure GDI would gladly meet a friendly alien species. You know, as long as we can prove they're friendly.

those poor sweet summer children think tiberium is just nano-tech...oh man oh man will they freak out when the scrin come back, and they get their first taste of tiberium assholery.
logic: THESE ROCKS MUST DIE!

No, this is just a noncanon sidestory snip that I threw together because some people wanted a vulcan perspective.

If you say it is, it is. Cause the calendar I linked has star date 0 on 01 Jan 2323 (from TNG), which doesn't make sense for the Vulcans, not the least cause they wouldn't create the star date based on the Gregorian Calendar.

Problem: Even a cursory survey of recent history should have revealed the alien invasion that happened during the 3rd war. Someone's firing their reports off at the hip

Well, it wouldn't be the first or last time someone had to beat a Vulcan with a clue-by-four.
Ima be honest, sorta glad that Star Trek isn't the sequel because I see no way other than direct and extreme hostility to the Vulcans. I mean, how would people react if they knew that they could've been saved from near total extinction if only they acted? I know I would be angry beyond belief.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that humanity is displaying a greater potential for warfare than the Vulcans had anticipated.
Also note that the Vulcans are judging humanity as a whole, not just by what GDI does, but by what Nod does. And Nod is waging a blatantly anti-logical war against the rest of humanity for the sake of... well, by all appearances, allowing the Earth to be consumed by green death rocks in the name of an elusive bald man.
The Vulcans do seem to have not bothered to mention the 'Visitor' invasion, only to note that we appear to be calling the Visitors the 'Scrin,' which seems unlikely to them.
To be fair, invasive self-replicating nanotech with Star Trek levels of bullshittium could totally do everything tiberium does. The distinction between "nanotech" and "pico/femtotech" is kinda ambiguous and/or heavily based on Orion's Arm which is kind of bullshittical itself. It could be that the Vulcans don't bother differentiating between the two.
To be fair, that seems to be the Vulcan conclusion, given that the survey captain condemns Nod as being intensely anti-logical and GDI as being insufficiently dedicated to tiberium eradication.

This is meant to be an initial report, not a final one. But to be fair, it does read as if the Vulcan crew took a quick look and then immediately left forever.

I'm still holding out for SM: Alpha Centauri cross, if only for the one planet.
That would be a extremely small crossover and not have the lot of options that Mass effect has.

Pfft, even the aliens knows how ridiculous it is! That alone is satisfying.
honestly it probably wouldnt be that hard to put in alongside the ME cross so long as its just Planet

A light touch is fine with me. At most I'd expect it to be a weird first extra solar colony with some neat biological research options and a few STUs. Nobody is putting up with the Hivemind ending or the like.
Edit: If I wanted to get wild, I'd have AC be a Garden world highly attractive to colonists, and another planet in the system be a barely habitable resource rich toxic ball with its own weird ecosystem and full of super uranium oil, aka Helghan.

To be fair, it's canonical to the ME universe that new races and sectors pop up all the time. By the end of the games, humanity wasn't even the newest addition and they'd only been around a couple hundred years. (If I remember correctly)
There is sort of an inbuilt system for new races to pop up in-setting, if the author-person ever wanted to go that route.
