Your country is being invaded.

The enemy are evil and barbaric, it's not just propaganda. They're crushing your nations armies, smashing through local militias and are steadily taking town after town, their victory assured.

They've got tanks, jets, guns and hundreds of thousands of men.

Your town is next on their list and they've already started bombing the **** outta it in preparation for the troops moving in to secure the tattered remains.

What do you do?

Surrender to their rule and beg for mercy? Flee to the countryside to live out your days in hiding? Retreat to the shadows till an organized resistance can be formed? Or do you stay and fight for a futile cause, all alone?

[redmenace]

A war of attrition is best: flee and hide, stockpile weapons, infiltrate their ranks, etc.

[Grimloq]

you try to join their side. *shrug* whoever is winning is usually the side you want to be on... i figure you may as well just change yer way of life instead of suffering *cringes at the incoming flames*

unless this has to do with that US idiot in office and his stupid war... in which case you die fighting.

[edit] alternately, you can go on a suicide crash mission on em. thatll get your point across, as well as take you out of the mess. its what i would do...

[an0n]

I mean what would you personally do.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Either...

a) Retreat and engage in Guerrilla tactics with others like myself.

b) Take as many of the bastards with me as humanly possible.

c) Sneak out of the country and Appeal to the rest of the civilized world.

...depending on which would have the largest negative effect on the enemy.

Join up - with the INVADERS!

Often times when the "barbarians" conquered a nation with higher culture they assimilated that into their own or they were assimilited in a couple of generations.

There is no such side as EVIL, remember the no.1 rule of any war is that the bugger on the other side is just like you a happless human turned into a beast by the higher ups who will take the benefits of the whole affair.
In this manner all countries and all armies are evil since you'll die for a cause you probably will never benefit from. - and even during an invasion of your homeland this still stands true for most of the invaders.

Acting just like them and instilling even greater alienation won't help them realize that or finally make them see you as another human being.

By siding with them you can do both - and do your best to keep as many peple alive as possible.
The downside is you'll be labeled a traitor and will be on the run from the rebellios of your own people...but since the invaders are supposed to be overwhealmingly strong....and the fighting useless....it's still better than playing hero or martyr but end up doing nothing that actually HELPED people.

Personally, I'd just hide out and make remote attacks on street patrols with low grade home-brew explosives and road-side bombs.

Pretty much what the Iraqis are doing, but I wouldn't expose myself to a group mentality. I'd just do it on my own. Less chance of getting caught as a result of the stupidity of your comrades.

[Taristin]

I, personally, would flee. Because I am a coward, through and through.

[Ford Prefect]

If they were a relatively civil, forgiving enemy, then I would surrender to them. But since they're "evil and barbaric", I would flee as best I could, and pray that I survive.  A best-case scenerio would be that I find a way out of the country to a safe nation.

Oh man, this psychadelic temporal distortion of ours is blowing my mind.

[redmenace]

Who is rearanging posts?

[Rictor]

Just as discretion is the better part of valour, so is cowardice the better part of discretion. And so, I would valiantly submit to the rule of our insect overlords, and unquestioningly obey there commands to purge the nefarious and distruptive elements of our society by giving up the names of friends and family engaged in anti-governmental acitivties.

No one would be spared. You hear me? NO ONE!

[MatthewPapa]

I would fight for a while killing as many of them as possible and then retreat. Every location I flee to I would fight them as they follow me until I run out of supplies (ammo, gasoline).

[Taristin]

dynamic 6 and 3, methinks. 4 works fine, though.

[an0n]

Stop assuming yer ****ing Rambo.

You wouldn't have ammunition till you'd killed some soldiers and stolen theirs. Which would mean knifing a 2-man team before they could radio in. Even then you'd only have maybe 2 grenades, a crappy semi-auto rifle, some kevlar plates and a few clips of ammo.

Add to that the fact that you've got no military or weapons training and then give a realistic answer.

[Grimloq]

flaser: yeah, id do that too, except my goal would be to take as many lives as possible, instead of preserving as many as possible.

[edit] gah... its flasers post a little ways down... bloody time warp!

You dont know what a war of attrition is do y ou?




Anyways i'd basicly hide out, booby trapping everything. Try to form an armed resistance using homebrew weapons and the likes.

[redmenace]

You wear them down to the point where they don't want to remain in control.

Errr......most likely take a gun, get myself shot while trying to take out as many as I can........yeah right...more like get myself shot without taking anyone else out. That, or go kamikaze with a bomb........

[Bobboau]

in the inital situation I would ether flee and wait untill some other nation tryed to use my countries plite to inflate there own sence of nationalism then if (and only if) it seemed like they had a snowballs chance in hell of winning I'd try fighting with them. or I would roll over take it up the ass for a few years and hope they get board and go away, after 3-5 years I'd probly start snipeing/bombing them.

[Liberator]

Fall back and hide until an organized resistance/counter-attack can be mounted.
