@foone I worked with one writing group on a game that worked off of the idea that we were considered to be in a bad neighborhood so we got missed.
@dbolack nice. I have seen some stories that go by the idea that Earth is such a death world that some aliens flew by like 500mya and was like "god, nothing could ever evolve on that disaster of a planet, mark it down as 'can't support advanced life'" and never came back to check.
@foone We were mostly riffing off of the idea that Sol was in a "there be dragons" territory and that Sol wasn't the actual issue. When the group broke up I repurposed the idea as the plural of apocolypses happened here and we came along later. But nothing else ever did.
