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

[mikecoulter]

I think it would be pretty cool. Stunning architecture and greenery. Smiles on everyone's faces and very space age.

 

[DalekJaas]

you couldn't have a conversation on the street without someone telling you to read a history book because it's already been done

 

[DazZ.]

Colosseum for TF2 please.

Surprisingly enough, this isn't an original thread.
The other was "If the Internet was the real world" or something like that.

Quite a few people described the Escapi-City.

Just imagine the Pueblo dwellings. That's my vision.

But i never really wasn't referring to the internet as a whole... just this site...

And im pretty sure if the internet was the real world it wouldn't be just one city, it'll probably be several galaxies, and the biggest galaxy would be porn.

Oh, I know.
I was drawing parallels.

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.

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

And we would have a special police force of troll-killing SWAT teams.

There would be different places. The movie place, for ZP and Unforgotten Realms, all that, a good side, with nice big houses and bigger ones for mods, a bad side, a ghetto like place, for trolls and such, a small closed off place for Religious people and other people with outcasted opinions, there would be a place for flame wars and debates, the Arena, A place for the funny people, The stage, and a place for friendly discussion, the Dunkin Donuts-like coffee place. Groups would just have other coffee places to talk in about specific things. Law enforcement would be good, the Red Guard would crack down on everything, and our leaders would be people like NoMoreSanity, Neonbob, and Max, who have been around a while and know how stuff works. We would all live in houses customized to fit our profile, and everyone is ageless. You are your avatar. And you can shapeshift. Be anyone. The stores would be mostly game places, music stores, and a single grocery store. Also:

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wins a whole fricking lot.

Oh, yeah, we would need them too.

Along with town psychos.

*Dials phone*

Hey Max? Yeah, we need you here.

*Dial*

Bob, you come too.

Really, Joe? A man just died and you're making puns.

It would be poor and squalid because everyone here is an elitist fuck who doesn't know anything about running a city or how to actually work.

We love you too. Have a cookie and a hug.

I'd say it's pretty much as Kraken described it, law enforcement would be viciously efficient, occasionally if you enter some of the alleyways you'll see Red Guards jabbing trolls with shock batons, the main mode of transport would be the portal gun.

 

[Radeonx]

If it was like a city it would be destroyed in 3 days by the efforts of about 5 people.

 

[The Rainmaker]

RICK ROLL'D!

 

[lwm3398]

Colosseum for TF2 please.

Oh, and everyone's immortal, no lives and stuff, just ten second wait then you get kicked back in. Other than that, no penalties.

This is sounding awesomer and awesomer.

Ooh, and how about a whole nuclear apocalypse place for Fallout, Fantasy setting for WoW and such, and other places for games. Like Doomsday Arcade, game settings have become real.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

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

 

[SteakHeart]

A city with nearly perfect life. Everybody gets to see Yahtzee do a live action zero punctuation every wednsday. The trolls get beatings from the combine. And NeonBob and StickyReiss run the whole thing.

I hope I have a dream about the escapist-city tonight.

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!

 

[Sigel]

It would be the most fun place to live ever. Everyone is so cool and laid back while still being serious and intellectual. Max can have his own little meanspririted warehouse, the rest of us will have fun. I nominate Neonbob for mayor.

I support that nomination for Neonbob. I would also like to see a position filled by Max the Reaper just to keep things interesting.

Topic wise: I see it as a combination of San Fran and Tokyo with a dash of Key West.
