What would you do if you and some your friends were the first ones to inhabit a new planet.

The planet is much like earth, plenty of oxygen, fertile ground, you bring your housing with you.

Starting over, no laws, no idiots like Kim Un to abuse anyone.  Would you shoot down any ship that does not have permission to land?  Would you let in anyone that wants to come? How would you keep newcomers from killing you and taking over the planet?  Would you live underground and set up vantage points to have the advantage if squatters moved in?  So many things to think about.  lol

    That's a cool and difficult question... I'd like to find a fair way of using (and protecting) the planet's available resources. Entry forbidden to people who have ever sat in the middle of a public staircase.

     Your opening sentence is an interrogative one, so it requires a question mark at the end of it as opposed to a full stop.

      Just to clarify things: in this little scenario you’re envisioning, I would immediately be installed as the planetary monarch of both sandwiches and English grammar, correct? (Cough, cough.)

      Ah, I see you noticed that, and quite quickly, too. I’m merely foreseeing the best way to avoid a bloody coup to oust you from power later or any other ways of disposing you. There are all of your ongoing cases being investigated by IAB to consider. Not good optics for my reign. Grrrrrrr.

    And even better, no Donald Trump to hear about ad nauseam.

    Oh, and it’s ”some OF your friends…”

    Grammar policing is too big a job for one man.
