I don't mean anything as ambitious. Simply keeping them out of my department (let alone the rest of the place) would be a reasonable win. But the fucker keeps appearing, which means it was never successfully eradicated from this reasonably small area in the first place

[Kadzar]

Well, unless you've nuked it from orbit, and the surrounding cities just to be sure, you're not truly committed to its eradication.

[Vorthon]

Well, unless you've bombarded the planet for days on end, until the crust cracks and the mantle oozes out just to be sure, you're not truly committed to its eradication.

FTFY :u

It's not all about that. One of the better ideas is "what traits do humans have that might be overpowered or rare compared to the universal norms of sapient life"? Since we don't have any way of knowing that it's all speculation, but there is most likely something exceptional about humanity.

Problem is is that all the HFY stuff then fails to give the aliens any advantages over the humans whatsoever. It's like having Game of Thrones where everyone but the Lannisters are dumb as Ned Stark, it's inherently dissatisfying because there's no challenge for the victors.

...what's so WTF about it?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Wow, Amsterdam looks just like a boring American city.

And I just found out its John W. Campbell's fault that HFY exists.

"Monitorstreet", "Printerstreet", "Scannerstreet", "Softwareway", and "Computerway" presumably, assuming my amateur translation is accurate.

So, themed street names. Nothing special. You see them all the time in commercial and industrial areas.

Sorry. Guess I'm just used to them :p

Wow, Amsterdam looks just like a boring American city.

What, did you expect them to live in giant mushrooms and under the shells of giant, long dead crab beasts? Because it's the Czech that does that

Does thou even lift?
Every logical human being would imagine Amsterdam suffocating in a cloud of marijuana smoke and possibly giant shrooms, not your racist stereotypes about them living in crabs.

[MagmaMcFry]

What

Wow, the whole city's full of those themes. So far the themes I found are electronical devices, astrology (twice), navigation, electrics, rivers, scientists, ship parts, flowers, grasses, birds, trees, cities, capital countries, aerospace, artists, authors, and South African municipalities that begin with E.
