"The human's home system, called the Milky Way..."
Wait, what?
This was the beauty of intelligence which could be gleamed, information can sometimes be incorrect which I believe added a certain element of value to the story for accuracy
U/ArticWolf12 is me btw 😅
@TheBlazingWolfe: Also 8 or 9 orders of magnitude is multiplying by 10 to the 8th or 9th power. So your aliens underestimated the human population by a factor of 100,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 people. There were a hundred million to a billion *TIMES* more humans than they originally thought?
If they estimate 200 billion people now, the aliens must have originally thought there were 200 to 2000 people.
Also, let’s assume, like your aliens did, that there are only 1 billion people per planet. There would be at most 200 planets with humans on it. (Not nearly enough to cover a single galaxy) But we know that was a huge underestimate and there are far fewer human planets than that. How does that make humans a multi galaxy species?
Overall, I liked your story very much, but these details really pulled me out of the story.
I heard that and had to think back on that…Milky Way…galaxy….then immediately refers to it as a proper star system and solar cluster lol eh good enough lol
@@TheBlazingWolfie Sorry Wolfie, but I disagree. Inaccuracy is inaccuracy. Scientists wouldn't mix galaxy and star system or cluster. Generals are unlikely to as well since it would be like mistaking a small valley for an impassable crevasse. Politicians, yeah, every day of the week, but not people whose job it is. (Footnote: I will concede that generals at the "joint chiefs" level are more politician than military, but that's my opinion).
@@krevor4095yeah I made a massive mistake which I somehow didn’t notice in my final edit, I didn’t actually notice it until I listened to the narration of the video 😅
Unless I did and figured no one else would read it 😮
Y'know, considering how kuch HFY writers like to talk about rules of war, they don't really seem to ro have any practical implications for big enough a bully. Like an elaborate word game.
I’m intrigued by what you mean, like how to implement them when facing a larger opponent?
Yeah, it works that way in real life too.
There have been some along the lines of "Humans decimated, but eventually get their revenge in some fashion".
As a Rimworld player, we call them the Geneva suggestions.
From what I've seen from HFY, and history, if they violate the rules of war, we will too.
In WWII, the Japanese refused to grant human rights to POWs and had a shoot-on-sight order for medics. The US responded by becoming less than charitable to the Japanese POWs and medics in return.
Reminds me of an earlier HFY where xenos thought they were about to destory the human's home world but it turns out it was just the last human colony in their galaxy. And a relief armada was coming from the milky way.
What was it
Wasnt that the. planet Ferrari story?
I remember that story. It was’t even a colony. They called it outpost.
"It is Done" is the one you're thinking
Love a good geneva checklist story.
Never ask the Canadians for the checklist
"Nine orders of magnitude" from one billion is a quintillion. Not 900 billion.
An order of magnitude is defined by convention (in our case usually denoted from the amount of fingers we have). For all we know, the alien equivalent could very well be 1.3
@@Dekatelon considering no specific number system is mentioned, I would assume the author had the aliens use the decimal system, this means an order of magnitude is 10x more than the previous one.
Demanding answers from someone who cannot give you an accurate estimate is a good way to end up with numbers pulled out of someone's nether region.
I just had a project like that myself. The customer demanded to know how long before their project was completed, and we had to keep telling them: "That's not up to MY team. Why don't you ask the vendor, who has repeatedly failed to deliver the materials we need to get STARTED?"
Yeah the numbers he gave were WAYYYY off. 200 billion would be like 30 earth sized planets. An intergalactic civilization would likely have a population in at least the quadrillions (a million billions).
A population of 200 billion for an intergalactic empire would be absolutely minuscule, that's 30 planets with a slightly higher population than earth. It would probably be millions of times that, with the ability to field billions of ships (although it would likely be involved in many conflicts at once so they wouldn't all be fighting one enemy).
Yeah, those scientists read the writings on the wall and wanted to yeet themselves outta Dodge ASAP, lol.
THE SCIENCE TEAM!
If we are travelling between galaxies then we would have around 200.000 planets and 5.000.000.000 people per planet
And that's while limiting it to semi-habitable planets. If you strip mine the uninhabitable planets and build habitats from all that material you could raise that number by... several orders of magnitude.
No music sounds like running through the school halls...after 7PM.
You should try it after midnight.
Humans: Let see if we can check everything on that list from Geneva, shall we?
> Estimate is 1 billion per planet
> "We were wrong by 8-9 MAGNITUDES"
> "So total numbers are 152 billion?"
That's not what an order of magnitude is
Magnitudes (at this time) were relatively new to me 😅
I have no excuse lol
orders of magnitude can be either 2 or 10, tho most often 10 outside of computer science. that said, the math, while Closer, would still be quite off.
Theoretically if the aliens used a number system other than base 10 their orders of magnitude could be different?
I mean we are talking about aliens, so if we assume not every standard and unit has been converted we can get some wacky stuff going. Orders of magnitude basically means shifting the entire number by a digit. Which is 10 in our human standard base-10 (decimal) system. If we instead use the lowest base system, base-2 (binary), each order of magnitude would be a factor 2. Meaning 8 orders of magnitude would translate to a mere 256 in our standard decimal system.
@@TheBlazingWolfie Then again, you went from total population to what could be send into war. About 200 billion soldier and sailors is a lot. Still on the low side when dominating several galaxies.
This is a part two, i think. I love a good sequel.
Where can I hear part 1?
Good story, thank you. 🎉
Glad you liked it 🙃💜
I've heard this story before, but it's been expanded i think.
Smart work
i know you must get this a lot but when will the next part of Diplomatic Intelligence Report Upon The Human Military come out
It's so classified that when completed it was stored in a blackhole, and the key to access it was locked in with the report.
Did you get a new mic? This video sounds better than normal, less disgusting mouth noises lol
Dumb xenos always attacks someone they don't know and getting their asses kicked and then whine about it not impressed with them
🤔did you get a new mic your voice sounds deeper😁
Been here for 2-4 years and now you sound deep or i am getting old❤
So this is improvement of "The Galactic Federation" narrated around 2 weeks ago..
This is yes! Though I believe this current version is different to the extent of the original version
Forgot to mention in the author 😅
it also appears to have been written using a different story as a primary prompt. One NN already read. stories like these are where a lot of the "you did this one already" probably comes from.
@@deefdragonhiya, story was not written with a different prompt, simply a more detailed rewrite
