If the Escapist was a city, what would YOUR job be?

[German Borbon]

i would be the mexican guy who cleaned the windows and gave advise to anyone who asked

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I don't think I'd have a job. I'd probably be the drunk homeless guy who sleeps in the park and shouts at pigeons.

 

[Roroshi14]

I'd be the local drugs dealer.
>_>
<_<

NINJA'D!! Damn youz. Oh well I wanted to be the Jay to someone's Silent Bob. Lookin for a partner in crime? We can chill in front of the local convince store sing songs and sling drugs.

 

[Sunrider]

I'd be the guy pestering MiracleOfSound to play drums for him.

Other than that, I'd be a plumber or something dirty but necessary.

 

[CleverCover]

I'd probably be working in the museum displaying the history and culture of the city.

"And here we have come to Ms. Mayes' Muses. The city's main musical talent before Miracle of Sound, she reviewed games through her lovely guitar. Does anyone wish to listen to any samples of her songs? Don't worry, they are child-friendly versions."

 

[Bigsmith]

Well, whilst I'm in education I'll work in tech support on the weekends.

When I'm out of Uni though I'd hope to get a Job developing AI for pretty much any sector of IT.

Although I wouldn't mind owning a full, proper British, Alice in Wonderland Themed Tea house (I really liked that book. XD), whilst programming in my spare time.

 

[JLML]

Well. . . I guess I'd be that guy who knows a stuff about. . . stuff. And rarely talks with anyone. Except a select few. So. . . technical advisor for some corporation.

Alternately, working with sabotaging whatever Para is doing. All the time.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm a member of the Escapia Orchestra, an author and a silly guy who plays games. I might have some more friends popping in to visit me than I do in my current residence but whatever. I'd be very active in my city as opposed to barely even a part of the community.

What, Para gets special treatment now? D:<

You would also be the resident of the last person to reply wins flat who keeps leaving the front door open letting all the homeless in.

I would be the unemployed guy who keeps trying to make a career in making mods/board games.

 

[Jegsimmons]

It's pretty much as simple as the title, in the hypothetical situation that this forum was the city of Escapistopia somewhere in the vast nation of the Internet, what do you think your job would be? For example:

Nasrin: Mayor

Kross: Head of city utilities

Mods: Law enforcement

Yahtzee, MovieBob, Jim Sterling: Popular celebrities who spend most of their time locked in their mansion

Maxthereaper: Former celebrity, currently serving life imprisonment.

Over to you!

.​

Spoiler: My own response

I guess I'd be one of the cities lesser known authors, trying to make the big time but still only vaguely known by most people

Leader of the rebel forces.

what you think im jokeing? ive seen the scary political stuff the vast majority of you guys believe in!

(yes i am jokeing, chill out)

 

[Wackymon]

I'd be the local salesman, selling you everything you could possibly imagine, tricking you into buying random junk, and owning half the city.

More realistically, I'd be a somewhat kind homeless bum.

 

[manaman]

Information Broker, simply due to lurking tendencies and how I try to keep an ear to the ground on any number of different subjects.

You opperating here without talkin to me and my boys first? Not good, not good. I'm going to have to turn you over to Bee. She can decide what to do with you.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Hah, great thread

Well, going with the city theme, I suppose The Brovengers would the super heroes of Escapostopia.

Except we're not very good >_<

Brovengers! Brossemble!

Sir, I wish to apply for the Brovengers...as MACHINE GUN GANDALF.

Tell me, Sir Clarion, am I in?

Oh, and my day job is as a physicist/inventor operating out of an abandoned warehouse.

Feel free to submit an application for joinage. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Brovengers]

 

[Samus Aran but a man]

I see myself as the Journalist frantically trying to keep up with the madness this city will inevitably lead to.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

I dunno, probably some sort of high ranking member of the military or defense force. Kinda quiet, but still hearing and listening to everything.

 

[Seagoon]

Hi, JoJo!

Nine foot alien vampire prostitute with wings and x-ray vision.. Obviously..

If it's a direct parallel of our on-forum lives then more likely a homeless madman.. Like the gentleman in GTA 4 who lingers outside of the safehouse every morning screaming about reptilians...

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

The crazy cat lady


I'm quite good at yelling nonsense at people apparently...

 

[thiosk]

As a member of the glorious and superior master race, my job would be to tell you how you need to fetch my lemonade faster next time or I'll cast you into the dungeon as a live training dummy for my soldiers to practice their swordsmanship upon.

 

[Hemlet]

I'd either be driving a bus or operating the train, while writing on the side.
