What would your first reaction be to the news that not only had a planet with life been found but that life was sentient an th planet in question was called Nirn.

How do we know its Nirn? Did they contact us? Nuke em. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCbfMkh940Q.

Go back to eating a sharp cheddar cheese melt

Send them over to the Elder Scrolls discussion sub-forums?

Question is too open to have any discussion over.

Because thats what the scientists who sent the probe called it.

People would celebrate/[censored] their pants and wonder "what's a nirn?".

"By Azura By Azura By Azura! It's the Grand Champion!"

Build us a Deathstar in response.

Liberate the crap out of it.

Build a deathstar we cant do that it would make us all skint then how could we travel their n kill the thalmour.

That said i wonder what the people of nirn an tamriel in particular make off our religions

Nuke the whole planet and then watch as the occupants emerge from their underground vaults to try to continue life.

I would punch the person who named it in the mouth for being a huge dork nerd.

In that case the name would be superficial. It wouldn't actually be Nirn, it would just be a planet that a fan of TES discovered. And besides, if it had sentient life, shouldn't it already have a name?

Well, I'd demand we go there for the healing spells then we nuke the planet. Why nuke the planet? Cause of all the doomsday stuff it has going on. Wouldn't want it to spread to our planet. So only good thing to get out of it is healing spells so that we can cure ailments with ease.

No, no, no, that's such a waste. There are so many resources to pillage there, and so many svckers waiting to buy our [censored]. We go in and subtly take them over culturally from the inside. When they don't do what we want, then we go to war. When we're done, then we take their stuff and sell them our [censored]. Either way, it's manifest destiny!

grab another Beer and play some Planetside2...

Naah, go with the http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Gamma_Emission_by_Nuclear_Explosion_Stimulate_Inducing_System from Gundam SEED, just as deadly but with a wider AoE. way better then a Deathstar

I would try to send them a message telling them not to let humans anywhere near their planet.
