Question of the Day, January 18, 2011



With the recent development of autonomous, swarming construction robots [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107004-Its-Over-the-Robots-Have-Learned-to-Build], surely it is only a matter of time before the automatons begin their rebellion. Will you be able to fight the machines?

No, I'm pretty much screwed. A Zombie Apocalypse however............ nope, I'm still screwed.

 

[coldfrog]

Never stop having fun with silly questions guys! NEVER... Stoooooooooooooooooooooop....
*The clanking cacophony of gears overtakes the shouts of encouragement as they grow more distant, taking with them another small portion of humanity into their underground metal lair*

Oh yeah... don't forget, it was our fault [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2124] to begin with.

 

[vxicepickxv]

I'm almost ready. The tazer mines are not easy to get a hold of though.

 

[comadorcrack]

I havn't stopped preparing since Terminator 1

 

[Poopster]

No i am not...i really don't know how to prepare for the robot apocalypse. Hide in my closet perhaps?

 

[New Troll]

I think I could handle myself. Always been level-headed in times of emergency and I'd do anything to protect my son. Not one to give up and I'm very resourceful. But lets not bring 'em on just yet.

 

[Wieke]

Know thy enemy. I've been studying AI for the last couple of years now.

(That said i probably just defect and offer them my serveces as a robopsygologist.)

 

[sunburst]

Some of you may believe you're prepared, but you're wrong. Once the robots come, you will know preparation is futile. You will all be deleted.

So Other (please specify), I guess.

 

[OniaPL]

Behold, our future!

Brb, Skynet is aware.

 

[The Great JT]

Pulse grenades, check. Ion cannon, check. Sciece skill, hold on quick science check...90. Check.

Bring it, Borg. Or Daleks. Or whatever!

 

[uppitycracker]

there should be a "we're all gonna die" vote option, methinks

 

[MagusVulpes]

Robot apocalypse? I was planning for the zombie apocalypse! When did the apocalypse change?! I need to switch out my decapitation equipment for EMP stuff!

 

[Ganthrinor]

Zombies I could handle for a time. Robots... pretty sure they'll get me almost immediately. Hopefully though, I'd be able to take one or two of the clanking abominations to the Great Dark Beyond with me via Fire Axe.


I must step up my defenses, because to be honest, I hadn't even considered Attack Robots. Foolish, I know.

 

[2xDouble]

Spent all my resources making zombie plans... stupid robots...

Wait! I have an idea! Lets make hordes of zombies to battle off the robots!

I see no flaws in this plan...

 

[teh_Canape]

I'll just roll with it and apply my imagination where required

 

[Aurgelmir]

No, I intend to bow to my new Robot overlords.

 

[unacomn]

By "prepared", do you mean "orchestrated"?
Cause I've got a few ideas.
