What would you do if aliens attacked?

I'd run away and hide, anyone wanna join me?

What kind of aliens?

In case of the first type of Alien I'd probably hide, try to whip up some improvised explosives and end up having to shoot myself when they try to put a little alien in my chest. In case of the second one I'd just try to whip up some improvised explosives and enjoy watching them splatter.

Well, presumably they would be powerful enough to obliterate us without our ability to do anything. Launching a direct attack, however, would mean that there would have to be some hope of our resistance. Under the first circumstance I would be dead anyway, but under the second I could see myself somehow participating in the resistance. Possibly through being a direct combatant, but more likely performing some kind of supporting role. Of course, given my ambassadorial ambitions, my hope would be that I could bring a peaceable halt to the invasion (Not collaboration with overseers mind you, but a negotiation of a peace).

and the DC came along and ended the thread before it even started:p

damn you, CI for posting before me:p

In any alien attack due to technological differences it's exceedingly unlikely we could have any chance of counter attack.

In that case I'll have the Enchillada platter and an Inca Kola

I'd run away and hide, anyone wanna join me?Well, I'd join in running away and hiding, but it might be better for survival odds if we don't run and hide in large groups.
If they want to kill as many people as they can, they'd go after groups before individual runner/hiders.

Hmm... This thread died pretty quickly... I was hoping for more individualised disaster scenarios...

Me thinks I detect a hint of spam.

I would mesmorize the aliens with a spritely leprechaun dance, and then stab their eyes out with my leprechaun stilletto.

i'd throw biscuits at them. not dark chocolate hobnobs tho, that'd be a waste. they can have the custard cremes. pissy biscuits.

Great answer.
