Aliens are looting the Earth! What do you do?

[Lt._nefarious]

Well I'd buy an axe, just a cheap one, but it would most likely just lay idle on my windowsill. I'd try to a aquire a handgun too. I wouldn't plan to kill aliens but if a lone alien decided my flat was worth looting I'd shoot and behead it (just to make sure). Apart from that I'd try and go about my days because you didn't say they were murdering people, just stealing...

 

[Brainiac 5]

Sigh in relief and wait for the pickup to go home again.

What...? You never said we were human in this scenario...

Note: according to the captcha, cabbage is not a number.

 

[SweetShark]

I am very sure if you give 3-5 days, they will buttf*ck their reptilian asses.

 

[snake4769]

I would say "Hey, you gotta pay for that."

 

[Agayek]

So, a dangerous alien race has began pilfering the Earth for supplies!The aliens are reptilian, 8 ft tall, warlike, have technology that is approximately 22nd century level, and come in one group of around 100,000,000. They are looking for materials, taking things seemingly at random (but which surely have a purpose known only to them). They may be interested in colonisation, which is why they aren't just destroying cities from orbit. What do you do?

Captcha: KLATU BERADA NIKTO. How appropriate!

Easy answer. Just call these guys:

 

[Heronblade]

Start booby-trapping the junk they like to take.

Beyond that, stay the hell out of their way.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Run away, cry, try not to shit, cry some more, die.

That's a pretty accurate prediction of what would happen.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Probably try to keep my most valuables stuff safe from them or try to reason/ bargin with them depending what they take (e.g. I have no problem for them to take away my Wii but to take my glasses??!!)

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I activate the XCOM pro-

DAMMIT I WAS DOUBLE NINJA'D! >: (

Realistically, though? HIDE. I live in Quebec suburbs. I highly doubt we have enough weaponry to mount any kind of resistance. >_>

 

[Hero in a half shell]

8 Foot tall lizard people?

Great Scott! There's only one man that can help us now:

Spoiler

Honestly Escapist, 30 posts and no one's made this reference yet? For Shame.

Alternatively gather supplies and weapons, form a resistance, and if things get messy pump up the 2 Steps From Hell and go down in a blaze of awesome glory. The warlike lizard people will respect our totally awesome last stand and we'll live on in infamous tales and legends as the most badass apes in the galaxy. There'll be statues and movies and songs and crap made about us!

 

[Hoplon]

Mug the Aliens for tech!

 

[Kapri]

Probably join in on the looting. I'm not letting aliens beat me to the good shit!

 

[Aedwynn]

Read all the Harry Turtledove books I can find, looking for ideas.

 

[MagunBFP]

Continue on my day as if nothing had changed... I live in Australia, if these warlike reptilian aliens want to fight everything thats going to try and kill them then they're all come down here and end up in a never ending battle against snakes, spiders, drop bears, spiders, kangaroos, snakes, birds-of-prey, spiders, platypus, snakes, octopus, spiders, jellyfish, snakes, venomous fish and spiders all in the extreme heat (you didn't say when they arrived so in my story its christmas time).

By the time everythings dead I'm pretty sure they'll just fall over in exhaustion.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

Easy:
Start the ritual that will awaken Cthulhu from it's long slumber so it may rise to properly ruin the alien's day.

Also, anyone find step 243 for awakening cthulu a little weird?
The one requiring peanut butter, honey, a flock of geese, a fair maiden and three albino tigers?

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I for one would welcome out alien invaders.
