What would you do in the event of Alien invasion?

[BCLG100]

Well you don't topple the worlds governments by asking politely you can assume there's been mass devistation and destruction already.

Edited the post. There that's clear

that and i posted before you put up the poll id destroy them from within.

I can't imagine that aliens can surpass superior earth technology, so i propose that we set up X-com: UFO defense, whose misson is to capture/destroy extraterestrials. By applying our scientists we should be able to replicate their technology.

 

[El_Machinae]

I hope to have Earth and humanity ready for interstellar contact by the time we make it. Our signals have reached over 1500 stars so far, so we should start to think more and more about being ready for the Space Age.

This is all very well, but what if we had no warning they were coming, they just hyperspaced to a few thousand kilometres from earth and surprise attacked us like the nasty little parasitic buggers they are. You could do that post invasion though, that would be a good idea, use there own technology on themselves, infiltrate adapt overcome, only way IMO

 

[AxiomUk]

Well, considering that they'd have to be pretty extensive to hit every continent and country together at once, we'd get SOME sort of a resistance together, even if it was completely ineffectual and was wiped out pretty quick.

It would be like a normal game of X-Com where you take too long to research

 

[Swiss Bezerker]

Say "i told you so" to the christians

Mad killing rampage

Those damn aliens are going down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though i'd try and form some sort of resistence as well. To assist me in my mad killing rampage.

OOhh and try and steal some of their ships! Yeah. That'll teach 'em.

 

[Aramazd]

I would for a resistance movement. I would get my buddies and whatever others I could find and then arm them, get supplies and flee to the mountains to establish a base. From there I would probably venture out every so often to raid nearby cities and get supplies. However, if the aliens become peaceful and don't kill any humans after the invasion is over, then I would probably try to integrate into society and get into a position of power in their government.

 

[Kozmos]

Learn to fly harrier jets with a couple of other friends and then defeat the aliens.

I see you have as well fallen casulty to Battlefield Earth. ughhh it makes me queasy just to remember the movie.

 

[El_Machinae]

ID 4 had a similar situation.

If they were capable of attacking Earth, I'd realise that we were pooched. I'd spend effort trying to survive with other people, and hope to rebuild if they left. If, however, I deduced that they were unlikely to ever leave (or were going to destroy our ecosystem too much), I would attempt pathetic insurgencies.

Of course, I'd be really hopeful regarding diplomacy. I'd hope that the aliens would be careful to not abuse sentient life, because if there are advanced aliens, they should realise that they're not the biggest fish in the pond and might have to answer for their actions with the bigger fish.

Regardless of this scenario, Pascal's Wager tells me that we should develop space as fast as possible.

 

[I am the Future]

This statement only works for Americans, since Bush isn't the leader of the world like the Aliens in this scenario.

since when wasnt bush the leader of the world?

I saind I wiould form a terrorist group but in all reality I would ***** a lot and do nothing about it.

and
by the sounds of it their will be so many people hiding in the worlds secluded places that it would be better to hide in the destroyed remenants of new york

 

[Arachnaphobia]

I would show them every Carry On film there has ever been, and try to persuade them to live a peaceful life watching tv instead of taking over the world.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Say "i told you so" to the christians

The christians would say "i told you so" right back and say the aliens are God's punishment because we condoned homosexuality. Well, some of them will.

Two errors in judgement here, youre assuming they have a sense of humour, and your assuming camp 60's/70's/80's/ movies and copious double entendres are going to apeal to them.

well actually 3 your also making the assumption that they represent the world visually, they may use sonar or they may only see in infra red, in which case tv would be pointless.

OK four they just wiped out all the armies of the world I doubt there gonna stop to think about being peaceful.

OK five If you asked to see their leader and they asked why and you said you had some plan so that they could exist in peace forever involving tv, I suspect they wouldn't let you in to see the leader anyway

The christians would say "i told you so" right back and say the aliens are God's punishment because we condoned homosexuality. Well, some of them will.

Or they'd call them devils or Satans armies or something and claim it was the apocalypse probably.

 

[Leonel]

If the aliens bring a better life than what i could obtain without alien interference, then I'd be all for them.

 

[Arachnaphobia]

@ Sidhe: Fine crap all over my master plan. But when the aliens do come, and I save the day with tv re-runs on UK Gold or some other channel, we'll see who's laughing!

And on second thought, I would also show them the Australia vs South Africa cricket match that was on today. I mean, it had everything, tension, drama why the hell would you want to take over the world when you could watch that?

 

[El-Presidente]

It would depend what kind of aliens they are. Are they are greys? or Reptilians? or green marshans? If they where grey's it would be easy to kill them but if they where reptilians it would be hard to tell because they are lizard shape shifters that can go human form and look like humans. If you seen the movie V those aliens where reptilians so it was hard to tell if it is a good guy or a bad guy.

Most likely I would join a resistance and fight but I think most people would go ape crap particuly religious people.

 

[blackheart]

Am I the only one up for destroying the alien mothership?

OK I'll happily be eating my hat

Well good luck first you'd have to explain the rules of cricket, then OK their probably very smart so say that takes 4 days, then they could watch the game with some sort of apreciation

 

[Ramius75]

depends, if they are vastly technological superior,then i might try to appeal to their logic and act as a guide or human puppet. If they are until telepath superior, then maybe i will go underground, try my best to find a way to protect from their telepathic control... if they are like xenomorph or predator like, then maybe i will set up underground resistance, join the marine and kill their asses out of space.
