What would you do if there was suddenly an invasion from outer space? Make up plans and I will rate them. If your plan meets the standard, you are in the ALIEN SURVIVAL CLUB!
Some things about aliens:
1.They are strong phyisically/mentally 2.They can run 3.They have guns 4.They can fly in their spacecrafts 5.They CANNOT survive on earth for more than three months because of Bacteria (War of the Worlds) 6.They WILL eat you if at all possible
All plans must include an element of stealth. The chance that you can charge an alien and survive is very small.
Also, you CAN rely upon some survivors, but not many since more than about five will attract the Aliens.
Do not spam, try to stay on topic, and no flaming
Do not write critiques until you are a member
And try to be as detailed as possible, if the plan is short than your life is likely to be short as well.
My plan is quite simple. Due to this the aliens won't be able to acknowledge it in the three months time, with their vast amount of knowledge they won't get the obvious. I will have a group of four. (not too small or large) We will look for the nearest river. Since previous wars have occurred, there will be underground tunnels. We will find these and hide udnerground in them. The aliens won't be able to see us or sense us due to the soil. We will have to stock up on food also, so some of the survivors will leave to collect supplies at the local store. When they get back we realize that sooner or later they will search the area and sense our presence. I find a map and look for the nearest arsenal, we find it ten miles away, and two people of the group leave to find it. The two that stay are male and female. (so if everyone else dies human kind will still have a chance of recovering.) When the other two people get to the arsenal they get all the snipers they can find and get some shotguns for the trip to the tunnel. (Shotguns kill the aliens) Three aliens are slain on the way with the shotguns, and one of the survivors are injured. Me and the rest of the survivors get the snipers and protect the tunnel. (due to the distance the aliens can't charge us.) We then realize that the alien ships are running off our electical supplies, so we run a train into the electrical place. The ships all start to crash, and the remaining aliens die because it's the third month of their raid.
For me, I'd steal a waterplane ( I know how to fly) and fly north, to Canada purposelly avoiding the most populated zones where aliens will be. I'd refuel somewhere that has survivors pick up two, all the ammo,fuel, and weapons I can find then Fly to any of the small island above Canada in the uncharted wilderness. I'd then hunt and live off the land until the aliens were gone and killed (keeping in touch with the planes radio)
Good. That plan is very good but there are one or two problems.
1. Do you live in an area where you can easily get a water plane and would it have enough fuel to get you to Canada without refueling?
2. Do not assume they would leave a sparsly populated place alone.
3. Also what weapons and what season would you be going to the frozen north with? If they attack in the winter you would be hard pressed to keep warm and hunt with a frosen gun.
My play is simple:Get supplies from a near by gas staion why'll they are destroying every other country.
Once I have my supplies I will hide in a crawl space I have in my house(my idea incase a robber came so my family made a crawlspace underneath the house)
I'll hide with my family(4 of us)and grap any supplies I had in the fridge,and try to live out the 3 months in the crawlspace.(btw the crawlspace would be hidden with boarding and stuff so they wouldn't know we would be down there,and we would poke little holes in the house so we could get some fresh air)
Although I doubt this would work well if this would happen.
When the invasion begins, there would probably be adequate time to gather information on the regions affected and their locations (courtesy the internet, news and GPS). Consequently, I'll stock my food, all required electronics (communication devices and my laptop, considering that neither these aliens fire EMP nor have they taken out the satellites). Once all this is taken care of, I'd head towards my vehicle and drive further away from the areas affected.
If my assumptions aren't flawed then there must be a defined pattern in the invasion, since the alien race is highly intellectual. Therefore, the safest places would be minimally populated regions away from metropolitan cities or habour cities. The most difficult task would be gathering of food. Hence, to make things simpler I'd plan my route through forested and cultivated areas. Flying to any other region is of no exploit since it would yield no results because you mentioned the aliens could fly.
Under all circumstances I must remain discreet. Since, I'd have a party of three people (inclusive of me), attracting the hosts attention has minimal probability. Constant movement is necessary to prevent attracting the aliens attention. There would be no safe haven therefore, abandoned missile silos or bunkers are my best bet.
I have a few queries though, 1. How do the aliens look like and do they have any specific abilities (like the Predators in AVP)?
2. Do they attack in groups and is the invasion full scale (War of the Worlds or Mars Attack)?.
3. Can they survive in the atmosphere without respiration suits?
I suggest you include some more information on their origins, their objectives and weaknesses and/or strengths. Btw, good topic.
Very good plan. One problem though, the aliens would most likely try to take out all forms of communication because (being higher beings) thye know that lack of communication causes panic. So you may not be informed of the attack until to late.
On your suggestions,
The aliens are about 7 feet tall and have armored hides and attack with all available units.They have three foot tails and are basically reptilian in appearence. Plus, they have extremaly hightened hearing, smell, and eysight. They can surrvive for about three days without a resperation suit and can run at extreme rates of speed ( up to 90 mph ) because they come from a planet where the gravity is much higher than Earth's so all of their physical attributes are hightened.
The ultimate goal of the fiends, is complete domination of the universe so if you survive the first attack, do not expect to not see them again.
The only apparant weaknesses are the eyes, inside of the mouth and a small opening (about three centimeters accross) at both the base of the neck and heart region.
They origionated in the Andrromida Galaxy and taken over fifteen other planets, so bo not expect them to be the only type of alien you see.
Other types include:
Squealers- Three feet of nasty, these small aliens can shriek at extremely high pitch and will rupture your eardrums.
Maimers- Nine foot tall Goliths, these aliens can rip you to shreds in seconds, but are stupid and can easily be confused.
Runners- The spies of the enemy, these dog like creatures are highly intelligent and can run faster than sound. Easily distingused by smell of rancid meat.
Hiders- Experts at concealment, these aliens can change their physical appearence at will so trust only those who you would give your life for (these also mean that you have to know all of the survivors)
And the last type:
Readers- Although small in form these apparantly harmless creatures can control minds and turn friends against each other. They must be close though, within ten feet and are very easily killed.
The aliens are about 7 feet tall and have armored hides and attack with all available units.They have three foot tails and are basically reptilian in appearence.
I suggest you make them fragile like humans or just a little more brawny. They could be more like the Neanderthals, that would be better, but with a different appearance i.e. no armoured hide, no tails.
The reason I ask for this change is because these will be the most frequently encountered aliens. Hence, we must be able to dispose a small group of them (around 2 to 4) without casualties.
They can surrvive for about three days without a resperation suit
Since they are highly susceptible to bacterial infection on earth they must not be able to survive without a respiration suit.
Runners- The spies of the enemy, these dog like creatures are highly intelligent and can run faster than sound.
Let them run as fast as a deer. Any faster would be overkill because no human resistance can counter or escape them. Also, let them be vulnerable to fire to allow for their quick disposal.
Hiders- Experts at concealment, these aliens can change their physical appearence at will
There must be a way to identify a Hider when it is metamorphed.
Thanks, and I hope you wouldn't mind my suggestions.
Therefore I would plan extremely loosely, and mine might be difficult to judge because of that.
I do have questions however, for example is this set present day or some time in the near future? Because, depending on what time it is, all of my planning could be rendered pointless.
Being a Survival Thread creator I'd like to give you some tips so I can make a realistic and involved plan. Or rather, I'll ask you questions and add a few tips.
Tip: You should put more specifics down as to the alien. Being species, vehicles, origins, and viral immunities. For instance, if I find a way to bust a septic tank over the lot of them, would they all get sick and die due to their immune systems being unaccustomed to earthling viruses/bacterias?
Question: What kind of ships do they have? Do they have land vehicles as well? How much damage would the military do against these machines?
Question: Do they have different types of Infantry? I.E. Gunman (or laz0rs, whatever tech they use), Tank(or w/e)man, hacker, medic, etc.
Question: Are the suseptible to EMP? (Electro Magnetic Pulse, it screws with electricity. If their aircrafts rely on Electricity alone to keep them in the air, EMP would shut it down and make it crash into the ground)
Tip: Put some more rules rather than no spam etc.
Tip: Make some more member priveledges. Like in the ZSC, you can give an official Critique and you can make a Scenario, which is an instance where your survival skills will come into play.
Question: Are we working with FutureTech or Current Tech? (I.E. FutureTech - Lasors and EMP rockets or something, and Current Tech being nukes and bullets etc).
Tip: With the whole alien thing, it is likely that people would run away or fight back. It would also have a rioting factor. Make sure to explain what would most likely happen to a city when the aliens invade.
By the way, I'd be happy to draw an alien ship/tank for you. I can do that (though I'm not so great with a humanoid figure, and I am quite ametuer. However I will take a request unlike most people here on AG or other)
Whoopsie! I didn't notice that you had the main types on the first page. I reccomend that you put it all in one post and ask a mod to rename the AIS to something like: Alien Survival Club (or Alien Invasion Survival, your call) - Types/Rules on Page <insert page number here>
