Humanity owns the Earth and there isn't much even the dinos could do about it.

If all the dinos that were alive at their highest point when they ruled the earth were to amazingly appear where they were, we would kick arse on them. In the beginning when they first appeared they would have the upper hand and eat many, but humanity would strike back with superior firepower. Every surviving Tom, Dick and Harry would go get his home defense weapon, hunting rifle or taser and go to WOWA on the invadeing reptiles. It would be a redneck rampage writ large upon their cunning plan.

The situation when our ancestors were rodents living in fear of being eaten is over. Had they come out of their burrows to try to take the planet from the likes of T Rex our ancient family would have been wiped out in short order.

Things have changed.

We could take em!

Drunk thread or Pekka thread?

Either way,

Zkribbler · January 23, 2008, 20:16

But...but...but, what if they launch dinosaur poop at us?

Lancer · January 23, 2008, 20:20

Yuck! That would be just the sort of thing the dino aggressors might try.

Dinosaurs would kick ass. First, they have no idea what they're looking at, so they don't care. Some 20 year old boy in the infantry is going to be crapping blue bricks. Air Force would be the best chance, but that is limited by the pterodactyl squadrons. Eventually the bases would be overtaken.

No, I think we should be very thankful we don't have the infestation.

Lancer · January 23, 2008, 20:38

Ha! The yankees might have to retake Texas after we slice and dice and feed em up up north, but we'll get there!

As I recall from the Fantastic Worlds "After the Apocalypse" scenario, those plesiosaur subs and pterodactyl bombers are pretty damn tough. The plesiosaurs in particular ate destroyers for breakfast.

Lancer · January 23, 2008, 20:48

Never played that one. Loaded it once and saw the dinos hanging out in the jungle though.

Cyclotron · January 23, 2008, 21:07

The first part of the scenario, at least if you were playing as a human faction, was "dum de dum, repairing my irrigation, cleanin' up some fallout... oh ****, pterodactyl bomber squadron out of nowhere." Those things were terrors. And your pitiful little boats needed to huddle in the harbor like frightened children, lest they be gobbled up by prowling plesiosaurs. Them dinos is tough.

DinoDoc · January 23, 2008, 21:08

I'd pwn you Lancer.

SlowwHand · January 23, 2008, 21:15

This should have been a poll.

Theben · January 23, 2008, 21:22

Dinos can eat lead.

Yippy-kai-yay, muther****ers!!

Aeson · January 23, 2008, 21:23

So would the oil be left? Or would it be reconstituted into Dinos?

Ah, but then there was some tank hanging out up north somewhere and you just send a diplomat up there and bribe it. Then you pwn all.

Cyclotron · January 23, 2008, 23:16

Heck yeah. An some barbarian artillery hanging out in the middle of the Australian outback!

I think there might have been some barbarian freight (!) in Indochina, too.

"oh ****, pterodactyl bomber squadron out of nowhere"

So the dinos hitting us with the same stuff "****" as the pigeons and seagulls do today? Terribly inconvenient perhaps, and a real drag at a social occasion, but a credible threat? I got a shotgun at home that says otherwise, and to the dinos all I gotta say is 'PULL!'

"I'd pwn you Lancer."-DinoDoc

Those Dinos aren't going to need a Doc.

"So would the oil be left? Or would it be reconstituted into Dinos?"Aeson

The secret to stupid conversations is never ask a good question.

"This should have been a poll.

"

Current standings are...

Humans 12
Dinos 8

You can take or give 2 points, which is totally stupid in this case.

Well ok Sloww. If that thing took a dump on someone they're a goner.

DINOS CAN'T EAT LAND, LANCER! THEY'RE SUBTERRANIAN. YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT SILICOIDS

"SILICOIDS" That was the smart, friendly aliens from that old universal builder game, not X-Com, something else. The rest of it...could be sandscrit or some other forgotten language.

Luckily there was no such scenario in FW, it's just the liquor talking or some such. So we stand some chance against the dinos.
