Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The first one is a bit unfair since they don't say what they're planning to do with the 100,000 people. Even when things are doing well generally, there will always be people who would jump at the chance to get off the planet and start anew.

The second one sounds like heaven if the internet access includes a good gaming PC and way to get games on it.

I mean, they start with "we come seeking mates." Sex is implied, though it could be sex slavery, could be a death after sex thing, but there are fetishes for that too, and she got the signups on a fetish site. Seems fair to me, unless you mean the judgement of the Aliens. Maybe asking more questions is part of the test.

Oh, you're right, I missed that. I have a feeling they'd get more male volunteers in that case, but what I said mostly still applies.
