First Contact Scenario

Pretend you're a leader of some people. Pretend you experience what you may feel is first contact with an extraterrestrial sentient person like yourself such as the other users here in this portion of cyberspace.

Ask the poster below you this question:

Who do you follow?

Answer the poster above you and then ask the next poster below you the same question.

Why do I feel like I'm on Facebook?

How is this fitting for...anything?

ATS needs to have a Derp forum we can move stuff like this into.

Poster above and below: Should this whole thread be 404ed?

Who do you follow? What does that even mean? Is that some kind of baited religious question or something?

I think a more appropriate question would be "Where do you come from?" or "Do you come in peace?" or maybe even "How did you over come your differences to make it this far?" But that is just my opinion.

I'm sorry. That was too simple. Does the question perplex much?

Who do you follow?

The alien wants to know who the proper person to go to for establishing a relationship of some sort.

So I will dumb the scenario down by providing multiple choice answers.

A. God(s)
B. Some person(s) of enlightenment
C. Your president, your king, or your queen
D. Your supervisor
E. Your friends
F. Your gene gun or egg sack
E. Money
G. Yourself
H. All of the above

This thread is not suggesting a discourse on what questions an alien might ask. This thread created a scenario with an alien that asks a specific question. That is the boundary of this thread.

Besides, why would an alien ask me on my own earth where do I come from if they found me on this earth?

But then I think your other questions reflect on your own curiosity. Do you not think they would be curious of us too if they were sentient? You make mention of one cliche question from the homelanders, but another cliche question is from the invasives to the homelanders,

Take me to your leader.

So who do you follow? Look at what you're going to do here. Are you going to sacrifice this alien to your God? Maybe if you're THAT spiritual sort. Are you going to keep the alien your secret? Maybe your moral compass is pointing towards a protective nature, maybe the other end is pointing to an egotistical nature.

You're probably very familiar with science fiction. Maybe you've seen Super 8, ET, The Day The Earth Stood Still, or Flatland.

So, who do you follow?

"dumb down". Sorry op, but your original post was not only confusing, but....dumb.

I misread your post at first. My bad. I thought we were asking the aliens.

Though, I think option "F" would be really funny. "Hey, aliens, you wanna talk, talk to my ****"

I met an Alien once, it didn't end well.












That's all I'm going to say about...

Threads are better started when sober
