What would you do if Terraria became real?

[DestroyerOfTheDestroyer]

At midnight, January 1, 2015, let's say that odd things start happening. The Grand Canyon suddenly turns dark, evil. Odd creatures appear out of nowhere. Governments begin to panic. Odd brick buildings appear in deserted areas. What would you do if this happened? Take out your weapons and become a gun for hire? Rob people with your new weaponry? Take over the world? Be a protector of the people? Start your own society? Tell us what you would do below!

 

[MiltVala]

Shoulder a warhammer...

Because I can.

 

[Sekirei]

Well the first thing I'd have to do is build a house for the guide.. right? Chop some trees and acquire skill in carpentry all in one day.

 

[DestroyerOfTheDestroyer]

I would arrange for the entire Terraria community to email all the world leaders to tell them what is going on and what they should (make swords) and shouldn't (ignore the old man and go into that building) do. Then I would become the leader of a group of warriors that protect the weak and innocent.

 

[FlakMaster]

I'd show all of those people that think S.D.M.G is badass what a real gun is.

protect the weak

Realistically, protecting the weak in an apocalyptic scenario will only run your society down.

 

[JoeReturns]

I would summon a guinea pig, oh wait..

I would craft the terra blade

Oh, so women and children can fend for themselves. Great idea!

 

[LoveSpreader]

Someone said anything about Snowman Cannon - Maker of Magical Explosions That Doesn't Harm The User yet?

 

[FlakMaster]

Who said women and children are weak?

What I'm basing what I said on is the whole philosophy of protecting yourself before you protect others. Because if you don't protect yourself, you can't protect anyone else. And since this is in an apocalyptic scenario (please take notice of what that word means), most would struggle to fend for themselves, let alone others.

This kind of thinking already exists actually. Do you know the aeroplane safety measures before you take flight? It tells you specifically if oxygen vents from the plane to put your mask on before you help anyone else, regardless of who else you might be helping.

 

[Gotcha!]

I'd place a chair in my shower, another chair in my kitchen and yet another chair in my bedroom.
Then I'll wait for the best and hope the nurse, mechanic and dryad will spawn in my house. But hey, with my luck I'll be getting the smelly pirate, ugly goblin and the demolitionist, who'll ultimately blow my house and me to smithereens.

 

[Metoot]

I'll leave my home and begin exploring the world.

 

[Jerion 'Wyverntamer' Kràl]

I would probably turn evil and use my knowledge only to protect those dear to me and rob and/or kill others to get better of it...
Yep, I've got no problem seeing myself as the bad guy...

 

[rubeszilla]

I would do whatever it takes to get 8 NPCs until Party Girl spawns, then I'd just kick back, gnome sane.

 

[Jetstreme ∞]

I'd laugh at the hordes of Minecraft players trying to make diamond swords, since half the fanbase wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.

That's true. But I would be able to tell at a single glance which game it was.

 

[Xabey]

I would farm Crystal Hearts

 

[Peace Giant]

Who said children are weak?

Just... you know. Biology?
Women are also physically weaker than men. There's a reason sports are divided.

 

[Toxic]

I would immediately head to my uncle's house who lives about 9 hours from my house. He is a gun collector and has a couple shotguns, rifles, handguns, and so on. I think we'd be set for a while.

And my main goal would be to help KILL ALL of these new enemies.

 

[Dusty Sinclair]

Confetti. Everywhere.

 

[Jetstreme ∞]

Oh yeah, it would always be fun to go to an occupied beach with a truffle worm.
