Best HFY story: Exodus | 2552 | r/HFY

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

Vortal are in for a shock. Humans have dominated the afterlife too, so they can't even escape them there.

[@sysbofh]

And we will exact our revenge even there. Now it's the "find out" part. And, boy, they will find it out all right. :D

[@robertstoneking7916]

Diaspora isn't thought of as a war strategy very often but if you spread far enough and continue to advance and grow the enemy has has no time to adapt to everything coming back at them.

[@proberts34]

Interesting story, Squirrel. Thanks for the narration. It wasn't a long story, but the scope of it, from the Vortal perspective, just kept expanding endlessly. Essentially, the Humans called "dibs" on everything. With the endless variety of the diverse and independently developed human technologies, approaches, and levels of aggression, the Vortal couldn't adapt enough to dislodge them. Eventually the Vortal lost hope and died out. Fascinating.

Humanity is a race of survivors, plain and simple. And the various aspects of humanity encountered by the Vortal are new species, separate species. Ones linked by a common thread, but in time, they won't see each other as human, or even necessarily themselves as human.

[@Tiewaz]

I would feel sorry for the Vortal, but they were the ones that refused to adapt. They were the engineers of their own demise because they simply could not accept coexistence. Their "victory" was the beginning of the end since they no longer had an opponent to strive against. I wonder if it had gone the other way, would the Vortal have become the many splintered species scattered everywhere and humanity have gone stagnant and sulked themselves into extinction.

Diaspora is my favorite 4x strategy.

This... This is why all the aliens look like us...

[@barelyasurvivor1257]

Another great reading by the Squirrel.

[@merlinathrawes746]

Too bad both the Humans and the Vortal chose to focus on their differences to foster war than to celebrate their differences and create a partnership that would enhance their lives.

[@RealArcalian]

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Humans find multiple ways to sole a problem. The Vortal should've surrendered, one of our variants would've taken them in.

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great story; Excellent narration! Never assume that you've won the war against Humanity! LOL!!!

[@sigmar4564]

I liked the ending of the story

[@billberg1264]

So, the lesson here is "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

[@ironwolfF1]

THIS. IS. HFY. (...as it was meant to be...)

[@murphymmc]

Typical bully mentality, beat up a race and force them to leave their home, attempt to exterminate them. Then when you get your ass handed to you by that victim, you blame them for your extinction.

IDEA High Schools teach AP Classes. Which means your kid can graduate with collage credits. Sometimes enough to cut his actual degree down to 3 years or less.

Bravo Sir Encore! Edit will follow underneath. Edit, I couldn't listen to it even with earphones as I am experiencing a spiritual crisis.

[@Alex.H.B.1970something]

Fuck anyone who says I'm a fucking cunt of a bot just because I Always say, Bravo Sir Encore!

In short my fiancée and me want to worship at different Churches.

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

Reminds me of the Horatio faction from Endless Space 2.

[@Wichitan]

This is one of the saddest stories I've read. The loss of an entire race that could have been a 'partner' culture, all because of war.

[@Wastelandman7000]

FAFO as always, humans will find a way.

[@Tang0Fox1]

They could have sought peace and trade. Oh well.

[@regulardadgaming]

@@bigjay875 well it did not appear you were capable of figuring that out and had defaulted to airport mode where you felt you had to announce your departure
