The smartest way for aliens to conquer the Earth : Othor Games

I hardly think the military's of the world would fall for such a lame thing.

They would know they are coming before they even reached Earth's orbit.

Heh, I know what I'm posting here next april.

Unless the aliens FTL drives let them get close to earth without leaving a detectable electromagnetic anomaly. If they have P2P jump drives we're screwed.

So I've been thinking, what would happen if aliens invaded the Earth on April 1? We'd be [CENSORED]!!! No, seriously, they'd be all going 'round and destroying city by city and all the people in the world would be all like "LOLZ!"

I'm telling you, April Fools Day is a very dangerous idea.

By the way, I'm 100% serious here. Well, maybe not 100%

, but above 80% definitely.

related note:
The authorities test the civil defense sirens on the first Monday of every month at noon exactly here.

I always thought that was a hint and a half for something bad to happen some day...

on a Monday, at noon :cold:

There already are aliens here. They're called Mickey Rourke, Gary Busey, Charlie Sheen, and Keanu Reeves.

Wait, are you saying that Earth is a dumping ground for aliens that no sane species could stand thus they were exiled to the one planet where summary execution wouldn't be the prescribed method of dealing with them?

If they were travelling faster than light then no one here could detect them before they arrived no matter what.

Precisely. On this planet we use reverse psychology by giving said aliens global renown for their crazy actions and plastering their faces on every magazine and morning talk show until they themselves become bored of hearing their names and disappear into space using one of Arthur C. Clarke's monoliths from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

People these days are much more cynical compared to the '30s, and the prevalence of camera phones would make it pretty apparent that there really were aliens invading.

Or, that all aliens tend to over-act.

manipulate humans and their greed and invasion is guaranteed for them. all they have to do is disguise it as trade.

why would I tell you? are you an alien trying to collect intel for your race of greenish brown possibly yellow mixed in mutants? No sir (or it) I will not tell you how aliens will be able to conquer this planet. I will not give in to your mind games.... You'll never take me alive!!!!!!!!!! :ahhh:

True, but if their using FTL drives that require them to drop back into normal movement at the edge of the solar system we'd know about them long before they got here. The only way they could catch us completely by surprise is if their FTL drives let them go straight into Earth orbit.

Or masking themselves as meteorites/asteroids would get them undetected (or at least wrongly identified) up to the belt beyond Mars.
From there it's a small hop, skip and slaughter to Earth..

Then the other cliché would be to park the mothership behind the moon (we need radar on that side of the moon, STAT!), wait until August and time the actual invasion to coincide with the annual Perseids meteorite shower.

No way. Once you see your house burning down, its not a joke even if it tried to be. But appreciate your humor!

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:46 pm

I thin we would see em in the sky.

One city at a time, If the news even posted a saucer on the TV, people would be like: "Fake! See how it clips into the cloud."

And then when you here your aunt or something screaming into the phone you might think it some mass spread prank but soon it would be too late the aliens would havearrived and destroyed key militaryinstallments, resources, and major cities. Then its just a matter of time....

If they're anything like http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dJPVdylod6k/S__0vh4JuDI/AAAAAAAADVQ/6J4bNgR2XAU/s1600/Orksmotivational.jpg it won't matter if we see them coming or not.

ROFLMAO.

Heh.. never thought of that

If a single orc got onto Earth, not even the SPHESS MEHRENS could save us. Only Exterminatus would be able to defeat them. Or the Emperor getting back up and turning every orc into a paste.

Interesting idea. But they'd only have very limited time, what with all the time zones and all that.

If a single orc got onto Earth, not even the SPHESS MEHRENS could save us. Only Exterminatus would be able to defeat them. Or the Emperor getting back up and turning every orc into a paste.

Only an Exterminatus with a Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedo would help, blowing the whole planet to bits. Ork life has proven resistant to even the ignition of the atmosphere. And even if you blew up the planet, you might just have created a few million Ork spawn bombs floating through space. And they thought the Nids were scary.

I don't think you realise how big space is do you?
Even if they were just drifting towards us at walking pace, we still wouldn't notice them until they got here, unless someone just happened to be pointing a telescope at that extremely specific patch of sky.

The one thing which Independence Day did right - we'd really not notice until someone is right at our big round sun-illuminated doorstep.
