Arn't You two already dead in some gloriously silly death fantasy..seems some people want a second chance, and who knows how that will play out.

the fall of the old ones did not destroy the galaxy, the fall of the eldar did not, and the fall of the humans wont either...the universe is a big place..humans wont be missed that much...and the galaxy will spin on, just different.

The Fall of the Old Ones damned the galaxy to endless war between their imperfect creations (Orks and Eldar), their nemesis (the Necrons), and the naturally-evolving Humans...the Fall of the Eldar ripped open the walls between this world and the next...and the Fall of the Humans will allow the Four Powers to manifest in reality. If you don't see why that's bad, you are beyond reason.

Which they'll be unable to connect to "humans are the main source of energy for the Chaos Gods" unless they think the Emperor's death means more humans appeared. And they've still only scratched the surface when it comes to the Warp, I can tell you that.

Either way, "We must wipe out mankind to defeat Chaos" still won't be even close to feasible, because large portions of mankind would not under the control of the Tau and the Tau would lack the means to effectively eradicate the species.

I think large numbers of civilians appearing with white flags should be fine, considering that these are the idiots who threw a party for Necrons.

A lot. Of course, this is a risk with any of the options except joining the Eldar, and the Eldar almost certainly won't let humans join.

All of the options are not good for humanity, because the Imperium is dead in this scenario. When the options are "Die in battle, join Chaos, join the Eldar, join the Tau," the first ends in death, the second means enslavement to Dark Gods, and the third is impossible. That leaves "join the Tau if you want to live something that can still be called living."

Besides the time frame for this galactic collapse could be very long..and Tau advance their tech very fast..who knows maybe they will eventually know how to build really big halos......

If the tau were smart (Which they are) They will put most of humanity to work. Not death camp style work but work as in putting together pulse rifles and drones and things. The surviving soldiers that turned to tau would probably get weapons to help the tau. I imagine a squad of 9 humans with a tau overseer being led into battle.

The thing I don't understand is if there is the option to join elder, does it mean try to join the elder or that if you were to attempt that, you would be successful.

There is no scenario where all of humanity would defect to the Greater Good. We'd be talking about a few millions of humans, not the entire species in its teeming billions. And the Tau would almost certainly figure out the connection between the human psyche and the Warp, assuming they don't already have a pretty good idea of it thanks to captured/defected astropaths and battefield experience with sanctioned psykers. The Tau are a smart bunch and figure out things very quickly. Once they knew that any given human mind is a portal by which daemons might stream into the material world, I have every confidence they would begin systematic extermination of all humans under their sway.

The existence of Gue'vesa auxilliaries alongside traditional human settlements shows that the Tau allow humans more flexibility in some cases than the actual Tau castes, although obviously not as much respect or prestige. There is nothing in the fluff to indicate that life under the Tau is particularly more oppressive than on a normal Imperial world.
There are some pretty chilling portrayals of human life under Tau rule in the Death Watch RPG books. But regardless, the death of the Emperor would severely change things. Where the Tau could tolerate humanity before, whatever standard of living that implicates, they would have much more trouble doing so when the Ruinous Powers have free reign throughout the galaxy.

Despite being an Eldar player, I would go for the Tau. Both Craftworld Eldar and Tau have their gak together and everyone generally doing what is considered "right" as far as their respective morals are concerned. The Eldar have the means and unity to pull off a massive comeback; unfortunately, most of the craftworlds are just delaying the inevitable (save Beil-Tan) or playing the part of the alien-NPC (Exodites). Their Autarcrian society also doesn't help stop many from going the way of outcast or turning into Dark Eldar (despite their path system). They are simply too despondent and hell-bent on the Rhana Dandra to really retake the galaxy.
The Tau, on the other hand, are even more unified thanks to being psychic-nulls (no chaos versions) and (to my knowledge) no hedonistic cults/factions. They definately have the tech standard and force organization to play a pivotal role. With their Utilitarian society and "The Greater Good" dogma maintained by the Ethereals (Imperial oraters can take some notes from them), they are unquestionally dedicated to their own cause. They also have a good mix of "Glassy-Eyed Newb" and "Not a fething Idiot" which give them a very nice optimistic and pragmatic approach to issues.

Daemonic incursions will indeed occur more often but it is possible for a new "Emperor" type individual to be born. Remember, the Emperor is nothing more than the amalgamation of the shamen that lead humankind in pre-history times. If another race is gifted with such shamen, they could again give rise to another God-emperor (possibly one even stronger). For some reason, the Tau Ethereals remind me of the leader-shamen but without the psychic goodness.

There is also the possibility of Tyranid being the answer to this. For all we know, the various tendrils creeping in on the galaxy are nothing more than a few pieces of a vastly larger hive system. If this is true, thier ability to calm the warp may eventually render the "local" warp back to its "heaven" state (a warp devoid of chaos) similar to when the Necron, Eldar, Orks, Ctan, and Old Ones duked it out. Unfortunately, this would mean the galaxy being eaten by them.

I don't subscribe to that viewpoint. If the IoM has collapsed than you bet the Tau will be accepting the men of stout heart and mind with wide open arms to battle the Great Enemy once more.

Chaos is not the Great Enemy of the Tau. The Imperium is. But should the Imperium fall, it does not necessarily follow that Chaos must become the bane of the Tau. Indeed, they would only likely be troubled by the Ruinous Powers to the extent they kept humans around. Understanding this, the Tau would exterminate us.
