Velociraptors!

[Omar]

Let there not be another Tip.it defense force. :pray:

[Kiriyama]

Why not?

 

 

 

We could call it the TRDF.

 

 

 

Wait, you can't create a defence force without a reliable means to collect everyone, and then a already heavily fortified area.

Step 1: Drive to nearest military base (1 hour from my house so I'm lucky)

 

Step 2: Steal Apache battle helicopter.

 

Step 3: Improvise.

 

Complete fail. Alright, say you manage to reach the base. How do you plan on stealing a well guarded helicopter? Do you even know how to operate one?

 

Dunno what good there is posting five pages later.

 

But I'd get into the base with my grandpa's clearance seeing how he's a Colonel in the army.

 

 

 

And yes I actually do know how to fly.

I would do nothing but stay indoors. A velociraptor is about as intelligent as a chicken. They were smart for their time, not dolphin/chimp level intelligence, that's hollywood hype. Not to mention, velociraptors were the size of a modern day turkey. The ones in the movies were more deinonychus-like. In reality, a normal sized dog could probably kill one.

 

 

 

"Smaller than other dromaeosaurids like Deinonychus and Achillobator, the turkey-sized Velociraptor nevertheless shared many of the same anatomical features. It was a bipedal, feathered carnivore with a long, stiffened tail and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each hindfoot, which is thought to have been used to kill its prey. Velociraptor can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, with an upturned snout.

 

 

 

Velociraptor (commonly shortened to 'raptor') is one of the dinosaur genera most familiar to the general public due to its prominent role in the Jurassic Park motion picture series. In the films it was shown with anatomical inaccuracies, including being much larger than it was in reality and without feathers. It is also well known to paleontologists, with over a dozen recovered fossil skeletonsthe most of any dromaeosaurid."

 

 

 

"The slashing hypothesis was tested during a 2005 BBC documentary, The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs. The producers of the program created an artificial Velociraptor leg with a sickle claw and used a pork belly to simulate the dinosaur's prey. Though the sickle claw did penetrate the abdominal wall, it was unable to tear it open, indicating that the claw was not used to disembowel prey. However, this experiment has not been published or repeated by other scientists, so its results cannot be confirmed"

Velociraptor size compared to a human-

 

 

 

 

 

 

I see no problem with a human managing to kill one. If there is a pack, bring out some sort of sharp or blunt weapon. Almost anyone could handle a few turkeys with teeth...

 

 

 

Now a deinonychus would be much more deadly, it is much larger and shares similarities with the 'raptors' in jurassic park. But, their bloodlust and intelligence were severely over-hyped, I see them being no more deadly than a modern day lion or tiger. It would simply be a matter of staying inside and waiting while they are either killed or tranquilized.

 

 

 

A tyrannosaurus would pose a larger problem, but most of them weighed around 3-8 tons when fully grown, about elephant sized. Give a few people an elephant gun or a tranquilizer gun and you're set.

I've seen a documentary where they explain that the sickles were likely used to pierce jugulars. On a test against a crocodile skin, the sickle - made with some type of resin - hardly damaged the skin, but most of all its tip broke. Slashing is unlikely. The front legs were used to seize and trap the victim.

1) Kill one. It doesn't matter how as long as it's body is intact.

 

2) Carry around the dead body

 

3) When another carnivorous dinosaur appears throw the body onto the ground.

 

4) Live dinosaur eats dead dinosaur

 

5) When the live dinosaur walks away kill it.

 

6) Repeat from step 2

 

 

 

This may work because animals aren't bloodthirsty creatures. Like sharks and lions I'm sure they'd only attack if they were hungry.

[Zierro]

Not so much questioning, more like pointing out it's obvious flaws.

 

 

 

It's a talking dinosaur dude. :lol:

[champion]

You guys already have [bleep]ing zombies don't you. ._.

[Nenga]

You guys already have [bleep] zombies don't you. ._.

 

But we pretty much have the perfect plan for zombies now. Of every type. It's time for a new threat. Like Velociraptors.

[MisterGreen]

Er, hilarious.

[Omar]

At that rate, the day will come when the only thing Tip.it won't have a defense plan for will be Tip.it.

That chicken-virus a few years ago scared a cabbage-load of people. :lol:

But by that time, we will be GODS!!!

 

 

 

And -.- at what you did to my post.

[Omar]

More like the Tip.it Tip.it Defense Force will be formed...

What did you think GODS stood for?

Off topic

 

Defence

It totally works for anything we need.

hate to be a buzzkill here, but hes right. hollywood tends to over exagerate everything. raptors dont have guns. raptors dont have modern weapons that can kill things from miles away. raptors are nowhere near as intelligent as humans. raptors dont have opposable thumbs (at least i dont think)

 

 

 

humans win. end of story. i'd be more worried about the mass panic attack from the general public than some raptors.

 

 

 

stick with zombie plans.

How could you even take what looks like a chicken-monitor lizard hybrid seriously? If you kicked the thing hard enough or stepped on it it would most likely be fatal...

You don't need thumbs to open a door or climb.

[Zonorhc]

I would stock up on beef jerky, ammunition and rock music.

 

 

 

I will die like a man.

[Da_Latios]

Assuming velociraptors can't swim, I'd live on an aquatic city for the rest of my life, or until someone kills them off, which seems unlikely.

 

Fish for food, desalinate sea water to drink, and solar panels for energy.

 

 

 

[EGmaestro]

dont get why people are still planning, we already established it would be open season, with velociraptors being the size of turkeys and being nowhere near as intelligent as hollywood says.

 

 

 

no, their not stupid, but are they gonna overpower humans? nope.

[Omar]

Maestro, if there's a dozen of humans left on earth and millions of raptors, what are you going to do?

[EGmaestro]

sorry i didn't know we switched places with raptors... i can definetly see how the human race will be virtually extinct and dino's the size of a large dog will dominate the planet.

 

 

 

i must have missed that part.. -.-

[EGmaestro]

no, i read it all, but seing as every1 else is only talking about raptors so am i.
