Fight or Flight?

If your home area was invaded by a group of hostile brigands what would you do? Would you kill the lot of the or would you go down peacefully? Would you come out with your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun? I was just curious to what you would do because - considering I knew nothing about my enemy - I wouldn't be able to decide what to do. If the good people group together and kill the violent people then what does that make the good people? What would you do?

First, make a desperate trip to my grocery store and steal all the beer. Then obtain some explosives, and threaten to blow up all the beer if they come anywhere near me or mine.

what defines goodness is not whether or not there is killing, but the who, why, and how...

Well, first I would panic and break down crying. Then I would either attempt to fight alongside my fellow invadees or hide/run away.

Yes! Guns Of Brixton. I like the lyrics to that song but I'll admit it's not their best.

Depends on what the brigands are after. If they want my TV and DVD player and other material goods, they can have them, I've got insurance.

If they're after me or members of my family, they'd better be knifeproof, because I have a load of nice, sharp and shiny steak knives just willing to rain stabbity death over anyone trying hurt those I love.

Somehow I get the image of a fat slob typing at his computer while mastubating with his gun, which he couldn't hit much with due to the thickness of his glasses...

Why do you like your gun so much DK. Does it make you feel like a "big man."

Me, I'd probably try and leave, using whatever I had at hand as a weapon in order to facilitate my escape.

In this situation, you have no idea. They could be after everything or just want you to spare some change for food.

Yeah, although I prefer the Sex Pistols I love the Clash, makes me proud to be British. But seeing as though I don't want this to turn into one of those 'What Is Punk?' threads I better talk about something more to the point of invasions. Did you really come from a place called Swimmingpool?

if my home area were invaded by a band of brigands, id call the state police and ask for their assistance. i would wait quietly until the cops showed up and investigated the situation.

I would run away and hide. Then I would escape to another place entirely...if I couldn't leave the country, I'd at least move to another state.

If they were after material stuff, go call police then go hide in a field somewhere till cops showed up. If they killing people, walk upstairs, load 6 shotguns and then sit at a window and see if anyone decides to come up my drive (and call the cops)

I'd stay and fight, at least until all I knew everyone was safe. Though I have no guns I have a rather large selection of kitchen knives. And of course, I've got trump: the Anarchists Cookbook. Plastic explosive from bleach, thermite, all that good stuff. Those brigands would be going home in pieces, if there were any that weren't vaporized in the blast. Though keep in mind, that I wouldn't take such drastic action until I had proof that their intentions/actions deserved it.

Probably go into C-prompt, put in some uber 1337 hacks, including aim-bot, shoot through walls, you know, the works. Then buy an M4, Deagle (no, not "Desert Eagle," "Deagle") Kevlar Vest/Helmet, full ammo and a couple HE "nades" before shooting through the walls and scoring headshots on all these silly "Brigands."

Of course, by then, the Admin would have probably booted me from the server for using so many hacks. But at least all the Brigands would be dead (unless there were respawns).

I'm assuming that there are no police or military or even Boy and Girl Scouts in the area to protect us from these armed brigands. I am also assuming that they mean us no good.

Being one late middle-aged fat arthritic female with no guns, I'd pretend to make nice to them, offer to cook for them, and poison the soup.

Would that be after or before they molested you?

I would gibber and drool and and act insane(r). They would consider me a harmless wacko and continue with their business. When they least expect it, I would let my elaborate plan unfold and in a clever feat of tactical planning, I would singlehandedly kill or capture them all. As the other survivors cheered me as their hero, I would go back to playing in the mud. :)

That depends on so many things. Are they young and good looking? How's their hygiene? Would they even want to molest a fat old lady?

All very good questions. But you'd really have to ask them instead of me.
Or ask Fass. He's bound to have experience with these situations.

In that case, I'd probably draw out the knives, and ask them nicely exactly what it is they think they're doing barging in my house. If they want change for food, I'll offer them some lunch out of the fridge instead. If they want to rob me, and they're armed, I'll tell them to be my guest and memorize their faces and voices for the police inquiry. If they're in for kidnaping or murdering me, they'll soon find out just how fast I run. If they're there to hurt or kidnap someone other than me, they're in for a new smile on their throat if I get a chance to get close.

I like it, even if it does seem like your shouting "IM A GEEK, KILL ME NOW!" to most people.

I'd organize the hostile brigands that already live in my neighborhood and let them take out the intruders while I watch and eat popcorn.

Never surrender, never give up, never say "die," and take no motha-frakking prisoners! :D

You have no idea what their intentions are. You have to assume that they intend to kill the males in the family and take the females for their own perverted reasons. When in doubt, attack! Even if you lose, at least you go out in a blaze of glory!

If my home was invaded, what would I do?

First, find any weapons I have. Gather them into an area I can access that's safe.


Second, carefully see how many enemies there are. 1? 10? 100? It is necessary to know.

Third, establish booby traps on all entrances. I.E. Enemy opens front door, rope attached to door shoots a large nail gun or something of the like, enemy falls down dead. (Yes, it is "Home-Alone"esque)

Fourth, carefully snipe of enemies from different parts of the home, in order to confuse them.

And other such things until all enemies are dead or I am dead.
