[PI] A wartime law passed to allow conscription of students who passed eighth grade with magical potential. To avoid this, you openly plagiarize assignments, doodle on tests, and skip classes to fail. It's your fifth repeat year, and the teachers desperately want you to pass.	1131
[PI] As an abductee, you learned many things in short order. Some were not pleasant. Others were Very Not Good (tm). Aliens developed FTL, zero point energy, and many other things from the Physicists’ Wish List, but they never developed the concept of passwords. Things are about to get interesting.	1129
[PI] Humanity, gone interstellar, has come into contact with the nearest alien civilization. Upon arriving, we notice something weird: a popular pet species that looks strangely similar to Laika, the dog that the Soviet Union had launched into space 62 years ago.	1096
[PI] Humans can now explore the cosmos making friends and enemies along the way. One of these races sends a fleet to attack the humans, which promptly lines up in rows and waits for the human fleet. Apparently, though their technology has advanced, their tactics remain Napoleonic.	1076
[PI] You die, awaken in hell. However, you quickly realise that it has been turned into a battlefield between a society of famous statesmen, engineers, and generals who have colonised areas for comfortable habitation, and the legions of Satan, wishing to take back the lost lands.	1070
[WP] "Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."	1061
The Thing Gives Chase	1013
Darwin's Revenge	1002
[PI] Humanity becomes the first species in the galaxy to develop faster-than-light engines. Not because they are the most technologically advanced, but because the other species consider going faster than the speed of light a cardinal sin.	925
[PI] The Fairy realm isn't just invisible to Humans, the reverse is also true. To Fairy's, concrete buildings, asphalt, and the steel jungle are all "natural things" which appear by themselves. To them, forests are dirty artificial things. One fairy decides to get away from it all out in "nature".	917
