the ancients not helping against the orii

[marcws]

the ancients do want to get rid of the orii but the ancients arent helping could that mean there hiding something.

i know i did this before i just put it in the wrong place.

Non-interference policy. As per their agreement with the Ori, the Ancients aren't allowed to do a thing unless the Ori themselves directly interefere with affairs in the Milky Way.

The Ancients are absentee landlords...they created the wraith threat, first generation replicators and the uber Ori....they should fix their own problems instead living in the locked penthouse[ala Ascension Dimension}

No, the Ancients didn't create the Ori, they ran from the Ori, by coming here to the Milky Way.

They have no agreement with the Ori...

[the fifth man]

If the Ancients come to the realization that the Ori are close to being able to actually challenge and possibly defeat them, they'll finally interfere. I have no doubt of that.

If so, then why was it stated that they aren't allowed to directly intervene unless the Ori directly mess with the inhabitants of the Milky Way?

Agreed and I bet that the Ori are pretty close to that goal.

Because they have a non interference policy, its not an agreement with the Ori, they Ori didn't even know about our galaxy till DJ and Vala went to their galaxy...

[Gilgamesh]

Agreed and I bet that the Ori are pretty close to that goal.

I have to wonder if the Ancients are acting like a bunch of penguins on an ice flow, all nervously jostling about, waiting for someone else to jump in first.

If one Ancient rebels and wipes out the Ori in the MW, that leaves the other Ancients free to "punish" the rebel for violating the code, pretend they kept their hands clean, while being secretly relieved someone finally did the dirty work.

[the fifth man]

I certainly think that they're getting there pretty quickly. If the Ancients were really that smart, they wouldn't let things continue to spiral out of control like they are. The Ori are getting stronger and stronger, and the Ancients are doing next to nothing.

in time they will have to help, more will come to our side as the threat increases. the ancients may have one help us, and the others shield his actions from the others.

If Merlin's weapon doesn't work (if we ever find it), they will have to help us against the Ori. At least, one would think so.

[2ndgenerationalteran]

there will be serious ass kicking if the weapon cancels out all ascended life, that way our ancients would have to decend and shield us from the ori until we use the device. then im pretty sure the ascendeds will have a big conflict with our guys

They will only help if there is a genuine threat to them, if the Ori were wiping out all life in the galaxy for instance, the Ancients would do nothing...
