Human alien invaders (x-post from FutureWhatIf) | 7/10/2214
The earth was dying. The reason for that was an ever thickening atmosphere due to an over abundance of greenhouse gasses. What it really boiled down to in the end is the old fat cat politicians not dying off fast enough to give the new generation of eco-friendly politicians enough time to save her. They mana... | 1 | 0 | 55 | 10,679 |
Human alien invaders (x-post from FutureWhatIf) | Kurtz flicked the e-cig between middle and index finger, the coffee stained report on communicable diseases did not paint a pretty picture. There simply was not enough resources to innoculate the human colony and they would struggle to prevent wiping out less than 90% of targeted alien hominids.

Human alien invaders (x-post from FutureWhatIf) | The ship was shaking. I was getting sick to my stomach and I could tell most others were too. It was a wild ride but we were finally making it to this place. We found it about thirty years ago but nobody knew what to do. That's why we're here.
"Boots on the ground in five, marines!" yelled Cpt. Peterson.

Human alien invaders (x-post from FutureWhatIf) | Over one hundred years of aggressive human expansion and I’ve spent fifty three of those long years in the service of the Earth Forces. John looked around the launch chamber. He recognized the familiar faces of his battle group, grim, battle hardened soldiers. We had fought and bled together and they were my brothers ... | 2 | 0 | 55 | 10,682 |
Human alien invaders (x-post from FutureWhatIf) | It may be a while before I actually get into the invasions but bear with me.
Technically it was discovered in 2119.
Second Earth
Through a new theory brought forth by our astronomers, we had discovered resemblances in neighboring galaxies. From this notion emerged the new study of astronomical mapping, by comparing ... | 1 | 0 | 55 | 10,683 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | I've got bad news for you. The more users that subscribe to the sub the more likely you are to see this kind of thing happen. The only way to fight it is to start upvoting more. Not much you can do to stop it. | 41 | 0 | 128 | 10,684 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | I've noticed this too. It'd be nice if the downvote feature were disabled. Getting no upvotes while others do seems just as impacting as being downvoted. I doesn't make sense to take a person's two cents away when it comes to a *prompt*. Money is money, no matter how figurative we get with it. Though, I can't remember ... | 15 | 0 | 128 | 10,685 |

[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | I think we have a downvote bot running around, because there were lots of posts mere seconds old with a +1/-1 last time I checked the new queue. | 11 | 0 | 128 | 10,687 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | I'm not sweating it. I don't do it for them anyway. I just like to write and this gives me a venue to share what I do. I personally don't care if people upvote. I'm looking for comments. Only someone who has read it will comment. Someone upvoting and downvoting can do so without viewing the material and appreciating it... | 14 | 0 | 128 | 10,688 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | I'm going to look like a moron here. How do you downvote on thsi subreddit? I don't see any downvote buttons on anything, only upvote buttons. I thought that was a delberate feature of this sub. | 5 | 0 | 128 | 10,689 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | My only reccomendation to try and offset this is to upvote. | 7 | 0 | 128 | 10,690 |
[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | there are a few factors:
1) bots. not every bot is friendly like /u/WritingPromptsBot. when you see a lot of plus/minus on comments or posts, keep in mind this isn't reflective of the posts actual karma--much of it is reddit's shadowban/vote fuzzing. things are still going up to the front page regardless of score.

[OT] What is up with all the downvotes? | From mobile, i have the option to up or downvote. I never downvote responses to a prompt, but i do dv prompts themselves: prompts we see a lot, or prompts that outline an entire submission with little to no room for creative input, or a prompt that is getting pretty uniform submissions in response. It's not a lot, and ... | 1 | 0 | 128 | 10,693 |

[WP] Tell me about the quirks and/or history of your character’s weapon of choice. | The steel on the blade of my favorite sword is far from clean and shiny. That's part of the reason why it's my favorite. When I joined the gang of pirates they gave me this sword and it was just as pristine and new as I was to the ship. Over the years you can see how it has been worn down, just as my body has. The fold... | 8 | 0 | 34 | 10,695 |
[WP] Tell me about the quirks and/or history of your character’s weapon of choice. | Let my brothers have their swords. I've always been handier with a knife. Easier to handle, and easier to hide.
I never carry less than five, now. Two of them, you can see—one at each hip. If they aren't warning enough, there's two smaller ones hidden in the tops of my boots. The fifth—the fifth is my favorite. ... | 35 | 0 | 34 | 10,696 |
[WP] Tell me about the quirks and/or history of your character’s weapon of choice. | The difference between a good weapon and a bad one isn't the steel its made off nor is it the smith that forged it. A good weapon should fit your arm not like a glove, but like your skin. It's just there, you don't have to think about it, just as my axe is there in my hand whenever I need her.
