If the Escapist was a city?

[mrhappyface]

I prefer to think of it more as a classy restaurant. It's nice for small periods of time, but if you had to live there you'd go crazy.

It's safe and a refreshing change from more crude places, but there's only so long you can put up with countless fake personalities and forced politeness.

Forced smiles and akward politness is better than unitelligible insults and stupid assholes.

 

[Tharwen]

It would be like a normal city, but twice as big to accommodate Hubilub's ego. And all the streets would be really clean.

Like Mirror's Edge?

Yeah, but with gentler ruling and less free-running.

I'd prefer to see true personalities no matter how bad, than know people are saying one thing but thinking another.

Don't get me wrong, I love the people here - it just feels a little...........uniform sometimes.

 

[Unoriginal]

It would be like Singapore. Great place until you decide to break one of the rules.

Well, at least it won't look like Judge Dredd's city (Facepunch) or total anarchy.

Actually I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it'd be like, and the Mods would be the Judges.

 

[Acidwell]

It would be the wierdest city ever since some people would walk down the streen completely hidden behind large avatars for example a huge kitten.
Also any elections held would be overrun by random people coming in and voting over and over for the one candidate

 

[Arkhangelsk]

It'd be called "Rapture (This time we did it right!)".

 

[Blatherscythe]

It would like like...

This...

Or this...

Maybe this...

 

[OutcastBOS]

I wonder what my occupation would be...

 

[Captain Pancake]

Well, at least it won't look like Judge Dredd's city (Facepunch) or total anarchy.

Mega City One?

Well, at least it won't look like Judge Dredd's city (Facepunch) or total anarchy.

And now I really want to see Logan Westbrook ban someone and leave the ban notice "I am the law."

Speaking of, shouldn't you be banned?

/playful dig

 

[Krelias]

it would go on lockdown every time valve or bioware or whoever would release something an we would have like kickass androids cathering to our every needs during the lockdown.

seriously though we would all die of hunger since all the venues would be online based and nobody would make food and stuff

 

[Armored Prayer]

It would be the wierdest city ever since some people would walk down the streen completely hidden behind large avatars for example a huge kitten.

Actually I'd imagine everyone being their avatars and what not, but it would be awkward for some who have no avatar.

 

[Blatherscythe]

This guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view] wouldn't be allowed to stay.

If I only had a doller for every time someone did that.

 

[Aerodynamic]

I would run the suburbs and the bad parts of town.

GO ME!!

 

[bobknowsall]

It would like like...

You, sir, have an awesome avatar.

OT: Probably the City from Transmetropolitan, only nerdier. And maybe a bit less openly violent and sexual. But I still think it's a decent comparison.

 

[Blatherscythe]

MaxTheReaper would be Sauron.

What? All good cities have a Sauron.

Spoiler

Ah yes, every good city needs one of these trying to conquer, destroy or enslave it.
