So you're Emperor of the Earth... And we just got invaded by aliens.

[IzisviAziria]

If they can fly to our planet from their own in another solar system, then they have technology far better than ours. So probably weapons technology too. Id surrender, unless they were out to kill us all. We could never beat them.

consider this scenario, for argumentative purposes: Their civilization paced itself much the same as ours, with technology expanding more rapidly than understanding of the effects it had on the environment. In a last ditch effort, they created a large fleet of sleeper ships, holding the beings on board in cryogenic stasis for hundreds of thousands of years until the ship reached the intended planet.

the scenario requires only a slightly more advanced civilization than our own (successful cryo-stasis, power to last, and the ability to find habitable planets from other star systems), thereby making military force once again a feasible option.

Problem solved.

If they can fly to our planet from their own in another solar system, then they have technology far better than ours. So probably weapons technology too. Id surrender, unless they were out to kill us all. We could never beat them.

This, does anyone honestly think that a race capable of bringing a whole fleet many light-years to us is going to be scared of our ICBMs? They are going to laugh, and if we attempt to fight, they will blast us to nothing.

I would try and be friendly, ask for peace, et cetera. If they want us as slaves, (they would have robotics, not necessary) or anything, we can't really do anything, unless our nukes somehow take out their whole fleet without retaliation... which I highly doubt.

Trying to be friendly would really be our only option, as far as I'm concerned. Travel occurring faster than the speed of light would require some incredible protective measures, since those small rocks you find just floating around the place can effectively destroy most things traveling that speed upon contact. Thus, our weapons would be useless.

What's more, they'd probably be omnivores, maybe carnivores. Mainly because organisms are better at surviving (Thus, evolving) with larger sources of food than smaller. Besides, if they've gotten past the age of space travel to be looking at other planets at the speed of light, they've likely gone through everything the human race has at one point. So, as well as being incredibly successful omnivores, they'd probably have highly-developed weaponry to deal with their space pirates and moon mice.

Oh yes, and don't forget the bacteria they'd be carrying from their own world which we wouldn't be immune to. It'd practically be accidental biological warfare if they managed to share any chemicals of any kind with us - like, say, air.

Captcha: sollies being. Kinda fitting, if you look at it in a way.

send chuck norris.

 

[Mark Flanagan]

Get Goldblum into a space shuttle with Will Smith piloting. Launch it. End of problem.

It'd be genocide to attack them - destroy them, even. If we won, their species would no longer exist and we could've just destroyed the only other sentient species in the universe. Which is immoral, sure, but if they had no way of being peaceful (Again, try figuring that one out - we have difficulties speaking with those of different regions of our own planet, let alone those who come from a different background of development) then we probably wouldn't have a choice. Even if communication was successful, where the hell would they go? We're gradually running out of space as it is! And what the hell would happen after?!

So it'd either be mass-genocide or extended peace attempts (With possible, kinda likely, downsides). Oh yes, and don't forget the whole alien bacteria/viruses thing I mentioned earlier.

Honestly seems like the best idea would be to kill the lot of them, salvage all of their tech, avoid being killed by alien bacteria and try to come out better for it. Like not make exactly what their mistakes were.

 

[exessmirror]

welcome them with open arms, then nuke the shit out of them and blow up their ships and take the techies and go to theirs and shove it up theirs

 

[DannyJBeckett]

Well my first official act as Emperor would be to change the Alien-Invasion alarm from a siren to an extremely camp guy saying "Well bugger my benevolent buttocks, there's aliens up there!" because I think it'd be hilarious and really lighten the mood in the face of an attack.

My proper move would be to begin attempts at communication and negotiation, whilst secretly constructing several BFG9000s across the globe.

 

[Scarim Coral]

First I would evacuate some of the civilian to a safe place or bunker (only if they want to go there) then I would greet them with open arms (I mean the whole saving the civilian is a precaution thing) and negotiate for peace or whatever they wanted.

If they want war then the first thing to took is take one of the ship or battle unit and reverse engineer whatever technology or stuff they got (preferable the key to make a humanoid mech aka a mobile suit).

 

[Tiger Sora]

I for one welcome our new alien overlords. Due to the fact that they should be dead within a week or so from all the bacteria and such that their bodies can't handle. To which than we steal their stuff. Make our own badass intergalactic spaceships and begin colonizing the moon, Mars and anywhere else we like. Also...

Conquering all who should ever dare question the might of the Emperor!

 

[Davatehi]

Nuke! Nuke everything!
First I would nuke the aliens and then the earth. Why? Because I could.

Unfortunately nuking aliens in orbit really wouldn't work because the only reason it is so effective on Earth is because of the atmosphere and shockwaves but in space you couldn't get that... however it would also cause alot more radiation. Unfortunately aliens have traveled through space so they should have radiation protection.
Sorry for ruining that :')

I would try to negotiate with them to avoid conflict but if that didn't work then i would have to cause enough trouble for them to give up because it's not worth it!

Last option is to blow up the Earth! If we can't have it no one can!!!!!!!!

*mumble* Fine, new plan! First we dress the nukes in suits and send them to the ailiens as ambassadors. Then when they are inside we nuke everything! Then we nuke the nukes because why not?

Ahh, I would be a good emperor.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Declare DEFCON 1 but first attempt diplomatic contact. If successful, lift the DEFCON, if not, open season, motherfuckers.

[Wuvlycuddles]

Well to be quite honest the aliens don't stand a chance.

I mean, the ONLY way a HUMAN will be Emperor of Earth is with the help of these guys:

And I pity the fool who dares piss off the Raptors!

I like the way you think!! As emperor I decide who lives and dies so I could put several smaller nukes inside some people (that deserve it), send them into ships and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM we win!

 

[Daverson]

Hold the world to ransom.

They won't be expecting us to be crazy enough to nuke ourselves to oblivion just to spite them! >=)

Ooo, it would be like the chestbursters in alien but with nukes! Maybe we could put nukes in our nukes so we could nuke while we nuke?

 

[Watchmacallit]

Invaded by aliens?

Firstly, if they're smart we'd be dead already because humans don't like change. Every occupation is met with resistance, we're a stubborn stupid bunch.

Secondly, if they're dumb enough to sit in orbit they: Option A) Have much better weapons and defenses. (So yeah, give up)


Option B) Are really F***ing stupid so when they did attack their stupidity and weakness would be noticed and I'd have them blown to shit.

So essentially I'd put the defenses up...you know, the millions of explosives us humans have and have them all pointed at the sky.

 

[Fidelias]

Well, let's see, I would open up communications with them. My message would be as follows; "Hello, my name is Michael the Awesome Lord of Earth. If you don't leave in five seconds then I will kill you. Five... four... three... FFFFFUUUUUUU!!!!!!" And then I'd fire nukes at them with my big red button and send in my robot army and Spartan super-soldiers on replicas of the Normandy and Star Destroyers. Because if I were the emporer of Earth we would have these things.
