If the Escapist Forums were like a city....

[AkJay]

It would be a clean and productive city, with its citizens taking care of the streets and general maintenance. Occasionally, some troublemakers would come in or people would get out of line, and the elite mod law enforcement team would come in and make everything better.

Generally, it would be awesome and be filled with laid back but still intellectual people.

Well, close, it would be awesome and filled with laid back people who think they are intellectual people.

 

[Azraellod]

well, weapons of mass destruction would be left everywhere (no building is complete without a laser on the roof), the penalties for crime would be far higher (judging by threads about crime), murders would be more common as you could probably get acquitted if it was seen as justified...

i wont continue. it sounds nice though.

 

[awesomeemosewa]

sounds awesome untill you remember the flame wars is gonna involve a lot of flames, and som tactical nukes.

 

[theonecookie]

Off topic : the way you talk about max it sounds like hes the hat guy from the xkcd web comic

On topic : it would be like crackdown but the gangs would represent the gaming systems and the agency would be the mods also mechs and force powers

 

[Alphavillain]

A city full of the wise, polite and enlightened. But with not enough lap-dancing parlours.

 

[sneak_copter]

Imagine Mirror's Edge.

It's that.

 

[Xorghul]

I think it would be full of supervillians who would give a long elegant speech before ripping out someone's entrails and strangling them with them. And then everyone would eat cookies at the local coffee shop.

Yes, and Cthulhu would drop once every few days to see how we're doing.
Oh and your status in society would be determined by your post count. Most likely.

 

[thatstheguy]

It would smell.

Badly.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

It'd be a lot like a normal city.
Only it would float.

 

[Danny Ocean]

How would I fit sunglasses over the helm? Who knows...

[HEADING=2]CSI: Escapist[/HEADING]​

Detective: Standard flaming, skin completely melted off from the blast and ample evidence of troll involvement. It ate well here.
Ultrajoe: Hmmm, looks like he... *Puts on Sunglasses* ...Couldn't take the heat.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grooooooooaaaaaaan.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Hell, I just quoted you to get your attention.

If we did have the Escapist city, me and Incredible Bullshitting Man would be like Superheroes and Supervillains.

Any town would be too small for the both of us.
...Then again, it probably would be too small for the rest of its citizens, if we are to engage in a climactic showdown.

So: Make way, peons. Clear out! I need this area for my infernal war mechs.

War mechs!?!?

Alright, get time to get my old guitar out. I'm armed with the power of metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR7U1HIhxfA

INFERNAL war mechs, mind you.
And, curses! How did you know my only weakness? How hateful!

Oh well, it doesn´t matter now, for I command the power of the elements. Hahaa, suffer!

Oh you didn't! Alright then.....I'll get your Nazi evil ass with a special force. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sQhTVz5IjQ

 

[oppp7]

A mecca of pide and excellence in a world that is full of disease and fools (the internet)?

How can this be happening! This can´t be true!?
You puny mortal, you think you have won? I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeves. Here, succumb to my madness. Uweeheehee!!

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Picture the Mirrors Edge city.


Now picture it with the police actually being competent.



It would be a great place.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

People would constantly build new buildings. People would then enter these buildings and spend all day talking to each other. Or shouting at each other. Or calling each other idiots.

Sometimes these buildings would catch on fire, sometimes people would complain that the building has been built before, and other times they get blown up. Some citizens get taken away for brief periods of time, while others vanish forever.

sometimes people would complain that the building has been built before

What do you mean people? And what do you mean sometimes?

I'll fix it for you.

Internet Kraken would complain that the building has been built before

Personnal note* We should really do a RP thread instead of de-railling all those threads.

 

[Kajt]
