Homicidal aliens are invading Earth! They have publicly declared that they will kill 99% of all Earth life, especially humans.

What do you do?

(There's a reason I'm making this thread which I shall divulge later.)

For this hypothetical scenario, simply assume the firepower of the aliens is unknown, and whether they can be defeated by humans is unknown, but it looks like the aliens have the initial advantage.
 
Cry? Go kill time with my girlfriend?

If it looks at all possible I could survive the initial onslaught, I'd flee major urban areas and major transportation nets, as those will be obvious targets. I can survive in the wilds for a week or two and then make my way back to the city and hide out in the ruins.
 
No aliens are gonna take my loved ones as long as I'm around!
 
Garry Denke, Fifty, FredLC, and I will travel the world to find the Grander Key, this will allow us to activate Stonehenge and blast those aliens apart with dark energy.
 
Live free or die. Those aren't just words on a license plate, they're a way of life.

And if it's obvious we're screwed.... go out in style.

I guess I'd fight against them if they are clearly killing life, and i'd probably make a bunch of sci fi references all over the place, like this Star Trek/BSG/Ender game. It'd be fun, until I died:

I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend: Now die you fracking bugger!
 
I'd flee to the North Pole. If they'll kill almost all life on Earth, why not flee to the place with least life in it?

I voted fight. I assume we have weapons that are at least a minimum efficient (no guarantee to win on the long run, but at least the possibility to do something).
I assume the poll is pointless if they have such firepowe/shields that they can kill all human beings in two days, and have such protection we cannot even put a dent on it.
 
Find and exploit any divisions among the attackers. It is possible that they are not all equally committed to the idea; maybe some would be willing to provide refuge for a group of humans, however small. It may result in what is essentially slavery, but if you don't want that, then you can be one of the ones to give the metaphorical finger.
 
Sorry, but aliens cannot be compared to God. We're his to do with as he pleases. It kind of goes hand in hand with him being God. Aliens don't get that right regardless of how advanced they may be.

Besides, there is no question of God's firepower or whether humans could fend off God.

This is the meaning of this thread:

Spoiler :
god is the aliens, and Noah, his family, and the animals on the Ark are the 1% of life on Earth to be spared.

Congratulations. That's extremely stupid. :goodjob: Do I really need to explain how, or can you tell? I'm guessing you can't, because you still made this thread - but I'm hoping you can.
 
Your parallel fails in many ways. God =! aliens. There is no question of whether or not God can own us.

It's not a stupid comparison at all, but I know you had no choice but to say it is. The situation I have outlined in the opening post is exactly how I see the Noah flood story.
 
But how can God be the aliens? I thought the whole ark thing was because of a flood, not God.

I don't know the title honestly, maybe a story of 16384 AD?
